1. Need Help Figuring Out Commute!!

   SJSU_Mami replied to StephRN25's topic in California

   It will take you at least 40 minutes to get from downtown to Esco. Traffic sucks both ways especially on 163. I would either work closer to downtown or live closer to north county.. it will be a rough commute. Trust me..

2. New grad program at Stanford, El Camino, Sequoia or UCSF? What do you think?

   SJSU_Mami replied to smile123's topic in California

   I did the Versant program at LPCH. It was 6 months long. Overall I liked the time spent on the unit and felt supported. The classes were boring and not evry effective. Clinical time is what mattered. In our unit we rotated days and nights every ...

   SJSU_Mami replied to margeux's topic in California

   I actually live in San Jose.. I plan to move closer to work either in Santa Clara or on the east bay in Newark next year. It is too expensive for me to live in Palo Alto but it is a very nice area. Many of our travellers extend their contracts at P...

6. How in the world do you make it in CA?

   SJSU_Mami replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California

   I grew up in Socal, and went to school and now work and live in Norcal. The cost of living is expensive in both places but I get paid 10.00 more up here so decided not to move back home. I think its a significant difference to me and all the people...

   SJSU_Mami replied to rn?'s topic in NCLEX

   Congrats, RN! You don't need that question mark at the end of your screen name anymore! I too recently passed with 265 questions. It took me 4 terrible hours to complete it, and I don't even recall the last question; I just was so glad it was the ...

    SJSU_Mami replied to *PICURN*'s topic in NCLEX

    Hmm. Maybe I should call the BRN to see if my file is complete. Our school of nursing warned us about university administration goofing up on sending final transcripts so they send one as well for backup. I'm wondering.. my friend's name posted on ...

    SJSU_Mami replied to share's topic in NCLEX

    Knowing that you had practice test scores in the 50s makes me feel better.. I'm hoping I see my name show up on the brn website pretty soon! Congratulations on getting your license! :rotfl:
