   Jessica710 replied to Jessica710's topic in California

   CSUDH is going well. Personally, between working full time at night and taking 13 units this semester it's been a bit much, but I just want to be done! You do get your public health certificate which requires 3 different clinical courses (managemen...

   Jessica710 posted a topic in California

   Hi Everyone! I'm going to be starting this program in the fall, and was just curious if anyone has any input, tips or pointers to give me? A little bit nervous about doing everything online... but with only working 3 days a week, it shouldn't be a h...

3. anyone having any better hopes for the nursing jobs in SoCal?

   Jessica710 replied to Amerae's topic in California

   My best advice to you is get that CNA job, be a unit secretary, ANYTHING that gets you in the door. I just graduated from an ADN program in Dec 2010, and was one of the very few lucky ones to get a job as an RN right away... more than 75% of my clas...

   Hi guys! I'm planning on moving to the Austin area in about 1.5 years. (Decided to complete my BSN in CA before moving as your requirements are very different in TX!) I'm an RN(ADN) currently working on an ortho/med/surg floor, and I love it... bu...

   Just wanted to say best of luck to all of you!!!! :) I'm actually going to be at work tomorrow, but there will be some people there from CNSA to answer questions more on the student level! :) Like I told Meggie... if any of you need anything, just as...

   They will let you know what to do at orientation. If they don't bring it up - then make sure you ask!

7. Anyone else rushing to become an APN before 2015?

   Jessica710 replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

   It's just what I heard - there were several different ANP's there who've been sitting on comittees shaping these new policies in CA. And it wasn't that they would be rescinding a license, it would be taking away certain privileges, and they used pre...

   Jessica710 replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

   At the recent California Nursing Students Association conference there was lots of talk about about this. And like a lot of you have stated, it's merely a suggestion at this point, and in all reality won't be fully implented in 2015. Something else t...

   If you check out the transfer center page it has the different check sheets which list the courses you need to certify your GE. Those along with your nursing classes are probably all you need in general. Some programs, such as CSUF require Chemistry....

    You don't actually get anything back from the company if you pass. You get a pass/no pass certificate like thing emailed to you. I would guess if you had issues you would get to see... Darlene Fishman would help clear things up. She told us she actua...

    Jessica710 replied to CaGuy's topic in California

    I believe the background checks take around a week to get back to you. (That's IF you have nothing on your record!) Unfortunately the background checks are only valid for the term in which you are applying. And will last if you go right through the ...

    Just contact Darlene Fishman (nursing director) and she will let you know exactly how it works! She's great & very supportive, so don't worry about giving her a call!

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California

    Well I'll tell you now, the trick to this is that you *must* make time for it. The floor I work on normally has lunch relief, so they take over your patients & phone for 30 minutes. But other than that you just have to make sure you have excelle...

    NCamp - if you really want to work at St Jude I highly highly suggest you try & get in as a CNA/PCT or a Unit Secretary. It's sooo hard to get in if you aren't an internal candidate, PLUS it will be awesome experience! Unfortunately St Jude has a...
