  2. Your Starting Salary?

    Don't! With that nice paycheck comes ridiculously high cost of living & high taxes :) I personally can't wait to move out of California, even though it means a big fat pay cut.
  3. Different shifts in the ED

    I work 11-2330. It's hands down the busiest shift in our ER. You step on the floor & start running & don't stop till your shift is over. There is rarely any downtime on this shift but I love it! I'm not a morning person & I could never ad...

  5. What shoes brand is good?

    I love my Alegria Paloma's! I have a hx of plantar fasciitis, so bad that I had to go on leave at one point. I tried every type of shoe I could think of with no relief. I finally bought a pair of Alegria's and they are HEAVEN! I work in a busy ER so ...
  6. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    ^^^^^^ TRUTH!!
  7. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    Wow... Bitter much?? I'm sorry - but I'm tired of people trying to dumb down the BSN. How can more education be a bad thing?? Do I think having a BSN makes me a better nurse than an ADN? NO! I was trained by an AMAZING ADN preceptor & work alongs...
  8. Any older students??

    Went back to school at 35, graduated with my BSN 2 weeks prior to turning 41 :)
  9. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    I took the NCLEX on the 11th, after my registration page said "delivery successful" - I tried to re-register & got the good pop-up. Today - signed onto the BRN & it's official! I passed! RN! :)
  10. NCLEX and Pearson Vue Trick

    I took my NCLEX on the 11th - did the PV trick & got the "good" pop-up. Today I logged into the BRN website & it's official! I passed & I have a license!!! Wooohoo - trick works! :)
  11. Modesto Junior College ADN program

    Math 90 is a requirement for all... past & present applicants
  12. Modesto Junior College ADN program

    That is terrible! They actually told you that in orientation? Seriously, a 50% retention rate does not say much about their program! I love MJC... but if that number is accurate, they need to be looking at what the problem is.
  13. Anyone hear from CSU stanislaus for fall 2010?

    My iphone is seriously my saving grace... I wouldn't know what I was supposed to do or where I was supposed to be without it!
  14. Anyone hear from CSU stanislaus for fall 2010?

    don't need those till toward the end of the semester when you do your mentor days at the hospital... but I guess you could get them now. I think they sell them now at the bookstore on campus. oh ya another thing I find helpful... get a BIG 3 or 4 mo...
  15. Anyone hear from CSU stanislaus for fall 2010?

    You'll get most of your supplies for skills on your first day in skills lab. You'll need a stethoscope - but don't bother buying an expensive one at this point... they grow legs! Really I can't think of much else... I use my laptop regularly to take ...
