1. CSU San Marcos ABSN Fall 2017

   Roasted.Peanuts replied to ellme's topic in School Programs

   It probably means your application has been started and they need to review your transcripts to complete your evaluation. Our group only has 28 people in it so far, so they are still potentially admitting people for this cohort.

   Did anyone get any information as to when orientation will be? They just said it would be "forthcoming".

3. Do C's get degrees?

   Roasted.Peanuts replied to melsothavy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It depends on if your school permits you to have Cs or if they will kick you out after getting a couple of them. Honestly, you should just do the best you can if you want to keep your doors open for a Master's or doctorate degree in the future.

   Hi guys, I potentially have rooms for rent in a 4 bedroom house in Lake Elsinore which is about 30 mins away from the Temecula campus. If interested PM me and we can discuss further! :)

5. They want me to be an RN

   Roasted.Peanuts replied to AspiringMD585's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm not sure if you can actually just leave your previous credits out like it never happened. If a school EVER find out it will be bad. There's also ethical issues if you do this. Anyway, it looks like you can't be a traditional student, so if going...

6. Advice for Biology Graduate

   Roasted.Peanuts replied to kayendel89's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you truly want to pursue nursing, you might need to retake some classes including your science prereqs if they are not As or Bs minimum. If you have some savings from your current job and can support yourself while taking prereqs, it can work. My ...

9. CSU San Marcos ABSN Fall 2017

   Roasted.Peanuts replied to ellme's topic in School Programs

   Same here, I've talked things over with at least 20 people this past week, majority of whom are nurses, and family and friends and I have decided I am going to go with CSU San Marcos over the ADN program. This hasn't been an easy choice, but I know I...

10. Nursing school or not? ADN or BSN?

    Roasted.Peanuts replied to kierstinb's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If RN is what you want to start off with then definitely go BSN. What entry level jobs do they hire for ADNs in your area? Like CNA?

11. MD office to owning a practice

    Roasted.Peanuts replied to hik9258's topic in Advanced

    I am not an NP, but I have interned for an opthalmologist who did his MD/MBA dual degree and owns his own clinic which has been open for about 3 years. He said he makes a lot less than he would just working for someone because he has to pay staff (2 ...

    Roasted.Peanuts replied to OliverElio87's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above post. You should go into a unit that interests you so that you learn skills pertaining to that specific unit. Also, if the unit that you choose ultimately wasn't for you, at least you have eliminated that floor for the future a...

13. Finding an ABSN program

    Roasted.Peanuts replied to sarah.bobbe's topic in General Students

    Hi, just like the others said, I looked up a list of the ABSN programs in my state and surrounding states and made a spreadsheet of all the classes they needed and the classes I took. If they had obscure prereqs like pathophysiology or others that I ...

14. Nursing school or not? ADN or BSN?

    Roasted.Peanuts replied to kierstinb's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would research your area to see if hospitals hire new grad ADNs. If they do, then you should go for the ADN route. I live in Southern California where it is a lot tougher for new ADNs to land a desirable job in the big hospitals, so I am going for ...
