1. How many hours per week do you work?

   spicychickensandwich replied to spicychickensandwich's topic in General Nursing

   'Kay. It looks like I'm on the right track then. Thanks for the responses. Regarding "don't do it for the money": Sadly, I have to. My first choice was being a nun (no, really), but I have an entire clan who will be depending on me to eat and to keep...

2. How many hours per week do you work?

   spicychickensandwich posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've been considering being a nurse AND something else. Not because because I'm an overachiever, but because I'm the type of person who gets bored easily. If I had to work as a nurse (or any other job) all the time, I'm pretty sure I'd consider a car...

3. About Prerequisite Requirements (Microbiology)

   spicychickensandwich posted a topic in Student Assist

   (I tried to find the right forum, but this is the closest I could find.) My community college offers two kind of microbiology classes. I'm not sure what the difference is, but one is 4 units and the other is 5. On the website of the college I'm plann...

4. What do you do in preparation of applying to a graduate school?

   spicychickensandwich posted a topic in Post Graduate

   I just got it into my head that I might want to get a master's in nursing. The schools I'm considering are CSU Fullerton, UCLA, Loma Linda University, and Western University of Health Sciences. So far I get the idea that you mainly need to do well in...

5. What kind of grades did you get when you were Pre-Nursing?

   spicychickensandwich replied to spicychickensandwich's topic in New Nurse

   Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I found out I got a B and I'm just sooooo relieved that I must let random strangers on the Internet know! Though strangely, I'm kind of upset because I could have gotten an A if I started studying sooner. Bwaha...

6. What kind of grades did you get when you were Pre-Nursing?

   spicychickensandwich posted a topic in New Nurse

   So I just miscalculated my professor and I might end up with a C in my anatomy class. Will it be impossible to get into the nursing program now? Should I retake the class - can I retake the class (I'm passing after all) or is my nursing career over b...

7. Is a degree from excelsior.edu worth anything?

   spicychickensandwich posted a topic in General Nursing

   I just heard about this online college and I just want to know what others think about it. I've always been skeptical about online degrees, but since I'm desperate I'll take what I can get. I don't really feel like being on the waiting list for two y...

8. What kind of health-related job can you get when you have nothing?

   spicychickensandwich posted a topic in Career Support

   I will get an A.A. in Natural Sciences and Math soon, but that's about it. I've been working in restaurants, but I'd like to have some sort of relevant experience before I actually become a nurse.

9. The shortest path to being RN?

   spicychickensandwich posted a topic in ADN/BSN

   I'm a former college drop-out who just got back to school. My short-term goal is to at least get a BS in any field; I need it just for the emotional satisfaction because I only had a year to go when I dropped out. However, my long-term goal is really...

10. Is it easier to enter UC as an undergraduate or a graduate?

    spicychickensandwich posted a topic in Career Support

    I'm almost done with my community college, but I'm currently still deciding between the following two: 1. First, I could go to a CSU. I could obtain my BS in another discipline by June 2009 and then attend UCLA/UCSD for my MSN - and be completely don...
