  1. Any extra precautions for visitors due to swine flu?

    Our ID department implemented a temporary policy to limit the number of visitors to 2 at a time, no kids under 16, and no one with flu symptoms. It was a nightmare on mother's day when everyone wanted to bring the kids to see grandma. I explained t...
  2. Any clinical research nurses out there?

    Hi everyone, I'm a new grad RN, but have been working in pharmaceuticals/biotech for the past 7 years. I recently got hired on a tele/transplant unit but I have shoulder impingement syndrome, so my start date has been put on hold. My doctor cleared...
  3. Applying for New Grad positions in San Diego, CA

    The VA lists their positions on the federal website. Do a google search for "usajobs" and the link to the website should come up. You can type in "registered nurse" and narrow the search by location. I've heard they only take new grads with BSN's,...
  4. Applying for New Grad positions in San Diego, CA

    Hello Karmy, Welcome to San Diego. I was in the same boat as you--applying to different new grad programs, but not hearing anything. I've been told that the market is saturated with new grads here in San Diego, but I've never seen any official publ...
  5. Just applied to Loma Linda

    I attended the School of Public Health (SPH) at LLU and I think this policy applied across the board. Students from all schools (Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, etc.) were required to attend chapel once a week (it was only an hour in the morning). Th...
  6. grossmont college waiting list

    June, Hang in there... it will be worth it. Are you trying to get into the day or weekend/evening program? The waiting list shortens as people drop out or defer, so they probably give you the worst case scenario in terms of waiting time where they...
  7. grossmont college waiting list

    Hey June, I was on the waiting list for 2 1/2 years (since summer of 2003) before I was able to get a spot in the weekend/evening program. I was also told that it was a three year waiting list. I got a spot in the day program about 1 1/2 years later ...
  8. Let's introduce ourselves...

    Hi everyone! I'm Sharon and this is a career change for me. I worked full time doing product development for a pharmaceutical company while going to nursing school and graduated this past August. I passed boards in September. Today I interviewed ...
  9. grossmont &/or city college waiting list

    Congratulations... I just finished the weekend/evening program this past August and got my license in September! Feel free to ask me any questions about the classes or instructors.
  10. Grossmont Community College

    I got on the waiting list for Grossmont's RN program during the summer of 2003. They originally had me slated for an entry date of Fall 2007! But, I actually was able to get in during the Spring of 2005, but had to wait for an opening in the weeken...
  11. prev bachelor grads: what was deciding factor?

    I did the ASN route out of necessity. I couldn't afford to quit my full time job since I have no other source of income. The only local master's entry program is at a private college ($$$$$) and so a loan would not cover tuition and my living expen...
  12. How many of us 30 somethings are out there?

    I went to college right out of high school, worked for a few years, went to graduate school, worked a few years more (and I'm still working in that field), and decided that nursing would be a good career change for me. So I started nursing school at ...
  13. That test was impossible...

    I felt the same exact thing. Usually, you have a good feeling about taking a test, if you did well or not, but I really couldn't tell one way or the other. People say that the questions get harder as you answer correctly, but I kept thinking, are t...
  14. BSN vs ADN

    Good for you! I just completed my ASN and am taking the NCLEX next week! I chose community college because I had to. They are the only ones who offer a weekend/evening program which allowed me to work full time and still go to nursing school. No u...
  15. ER- HELP: Dumbest reason people go to ER

    I was a student doing a rotation in the ER and working with the triage nurse on St Patrick's Day, no less. A woman came in because she cut her big toenail and went too far. Granted, it was bleeding, and I know that it's pretty painful, but she dema...
