   No problem... Having a $73,000 debt after graduating would give me a sickening feeling too... Good Luck and maybe I'll see you in one of the Programs!

   Hi Digxlina, I know the costs went up... When you request info on their site (by putting in your name, addr, ph, etc), it takes you to another page that says thank you for inquiring and there's a table that you can click thru that has each programs p...

   I think that especially if you're route is CRNA you should try applying to a 4 year since you have to get your BA/BS first because then you'll have to go to get your Masters so you can get to your goal.

   Hey Tela, No I didn't go to Unitek... I thought it's too much for the education. I mean there's other programs that seem to be much better as long as you put the effort. Look at my other posts above (2 from Dec 18) and I write about it. I just don't ...

5. lvn to rn bridge programs being cancelled in california??

   cmami replied to marianDA9's topic in California

   Well as far as I know, there is still the LVN - RN programs as well as the LVN- BSN programs. Usually, it's always better to keep updated with the CA Board of RN (http://www.rn.ca.gov/ ) or the CA Board of LVN (http://www.bvnpt.ca.gov/ ). Plus there...

   cmami replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in California

   Hi Tigerlily1910, I know it would seem like I am in the program or went there, but I'm haven't been. I was going to go, but I am feeling a little reluctant. I took the entrance test, and took a tour of the school...and all that I needed to do was si...

9. Can a nurse make massage therapy a full-time career?

   cmami replied to workingmomRN's topic in Entrepreneurs

   What state do you live in? I was just curious because I'm in CA. I am working towards becoming an RN and if I don't get into the program for Fall 2010, then I will go into the message therapy program so at least I can start on one thing instead of w...

    You are most certainly right!!! I hate the lottery system. I had one friend who I believe is still waiting (about 4 years now) to get into the RN program anywhere around here. Yeah, my cousin was lucky since her clinical was at kaiser and she went fo...

    THANKS FOR THAT... I really needed that sense of optimism because my advisor who will remain nameless... is really discouraging.... how the heck does that person still have that job when they are so rude-mannered and don't even care... I mean you get...

    If all we do is wipe a**es for clinicals then it shouldn't be too hard because I finish a CNA training last year. It's not pretty but just make sure you have extra gloves b/c if we have different clinicals, some may not have gloves like the place I w...

    :omy: oh gosh... that really sucks... I'm so much more nervous now. Did you go to Sac or Fremont campus? Are you a nurse now or an LVN still? Have you been able to pay your loan back or has it been a struggle? Did they help you in finding your job? I...
