   kriszurcj replied to kriszurcj's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm currently taking Anatomy, At Solano College it is a pre-req for Phisio as well. I need to take phisio next semester, and am thinking about taking Micro as well. Just worried about getting decent grades in both.

   Thinking about taking Phiosilogy and Micro next semester. Have any of you done this? How hard was it? Or am I crazy?

3. Anyone taking Nursing at Solano Community College in Fairfield, Ca?

   kriszurcj replied to love2nurse4life's topic in California

   It ought to count for something, it's worth a try. I say get your transcripts evaluated asap! So if there is anything they give you credit for you don't end up already registering for it. Good Luck!

   Solano does go by priority, but if you have previous credits they will be articulated next semester and you will recieve a higher priority. I suggest showing up every time the anatomy class you want to add meets and try to add that way. I would try a...

   If you are willing to travel the 20 mins. to Napa and take Chen 110 there it would save you a year!. If you stay at Solano you will have to complete math 104 and take chem 160 and chem 10! The other way you can just have math 102, and the chem 110 wi...

   kriszurcj replied to kaya767's topic in California

   Don't you dare let anyone discourage you! You already have an education under your belt and have proven you can do it. My cousin attended Oakland CC after waitlisting several colleges, and she really liked it. She got in after 1 year on the wait list...

    I'm not sure how it is to work there as a Nurse, but as a Medical Assistant it wasn't bad. From the people I went to school with the ones of us who got on at Kaiser got pais the most, for doing the least amount of work. I think the union for the MA's...

    Getting a decent GPA will help you get a better place on the waitlist as well. They look at your pre-req GPA seperately, then your overall GPA. I have been taking classes since Fall 2006, 1-2 a semester.I took Nutri 10, Math 102 with English 370, the...

    I know other hospitals don't pay as much as Kaiser, but the union handbook states that new hires start off at between $39-50 an hour depending if you don't need their benefits. So if your husband already has ecent healthcare you can waive yours, and ...

    kriszurcj replied to SoundofMusic's topic in New Nurse

    From what I've heard the older nurses eat their young. That may be her way of dealing with the fact that you are now her equal? It made her feel good that you were less than her as a student, possibly. Sad huh. Don't let her insecure nature make you ...
