2. Does it really cost $131,414/yr to live in CA?

   FockerInTraining replied to YoungWiseWoman's topic in California

   I am not trying to sound harsh to the OP, but I still don't understand how some people want to have every possible thing CA has to offer without wanting to pay for it. What I mean is people want the best weather, best places to live, no traffic, and ...

3. Please read, need your opinions, advice!

   FockerInTraining replied to mrsbreeding23's topic in California

   May I ask how many is too many patients? Because I believe being here in CA you are only allowed to take a maximum of 5, I could be wrong though. Also why did you accept a job you knew you didn't like? And then why take it for 2 years? Not judging yo...

4. Community College Selection Process-What A Joke!

   FockerInTraining replied to Tim1957's topic in California

   So what you're saying is that people with low IQ's shouldn't be allowed in NS? You are right, not everyone is equal, but it is that inequality that makes this field so remarkable. Why are you trying to make this a job where everyone is the same, when...

   FockerInTraining replied to Tim1957's topic in California

   Tim, I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you on who is right or wrong, I truly do understand where you are coming from. I just don't understand how you can sit there and say that students with a C average lack excellent study habits or the...

6. Community College Selection Process-What A Joke!

   FockerInTraining replied to Tim1957's topic in California

   What does IQ have to do with what I am talking about? Are only folks with a high IQ allowed in nursing? Don't really see where you're going with this one.

   FockerInTraining replied to Tim1957's topic in California

   Its statements like this that really irritate me. Are you going to tell people when you do get into NS that if they "squeaked" by, that they don't belong there? Do you think that perhaps they are just not very good at doing the traditional "bookwork"...

   Taking Biology 111, Socio 101, English 101 and Intro to Computer Graphics. Just recently decided that nursing was a career that I might actually want to do. My wife is an RN and I remember helping her with NS and always feeling proud of her for worki...

10. "Fun Classes"?

    FockerInTraining replied to MikeyJ's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You sound very bitter and I would not like to see how you are going to treat your patients. Did you seriously move to Texas and not think that spanish is something you were going to have to deal with? I mean come on, you're right by mexico for petes ...

11. You'll never make it in California

    FockerInTraining replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California

    Hi Kellyann Have you thought of perhaps working the night shift? That way you could go to work and your BF could watch your son while he's off of work. Then you could be home with your son in the daytime. Plus you would be making a considerable amoun...
