   That's so nice of you to share your way of doing your resume, MissMolly! Could I see it, too? I'd like to improve mine and am always grateful for ideas! My email is [email protected]

3. New grad program more than 1 year after graduation?

   Jessie88 posted a topic in New Nurse

   I've been wondering about this: I'm currently attending an ADN program in California. My goal is to eventually get my BSN. I read on this forum that new grads unable to find employment within one year after graduation lose their eligibility for n...

4. Need a motivational help in studying

   Jessie88 replied to shelly96's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm really sorry you're going through this right now. Sending you a big virtual hug! Some of my classmates have trouble with the fast pace of our program, and I myself have my own difficulties of a different nature in nursing school. Going through a ...

5. Saddleback students - a few questions about your program...

   Jessie88 replied to Jessie88's topic in California

   You've been studying with the right material. I found the ATI study guide very helpful. It covered everything on the test (I had read threads suggesting otherwise, which made me very nervous for no reason). I was especially worried about the science ...

6. Hospitals pay for nursing school?

   Jessie88 replied to almouse's topic in General Nursing

   You are so lucky! Congratulations on landing this offer. :) Where I'm from in Southern Cali, we are happy if we're hired at all at this time. Openings for new grads have become so scarce at hospitals in our area. Many of us relocate or wait for a lon...

7. Online intersession pharmacology

   Jessie88 replied to HCC_Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Long Beach City College in California has an online Pharm class. I don't know if the class is offered during the winter intersession, but it's called "ADN 225 - Nursing Applications of Pharmacology". Hope this is useful to you.

8. what options are left, about to give up on nursing

   Jessie88 replied to grechi2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So sorry to hear you might give up on nursing because of those difficulties. I'm also tempted to tell you to take a student loan, but I assume you must have thought of that yourself, and you probably decided against it for some reason. If a student l...

9. Just took my teas

   Jessie88 replied to Avary's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I read you have 10 years of experience, so you didn't have to take the TEAS back then. Students who were admitted to nursing schools in spring '08 and after have to take it to be admitted. It stands for Test of Essential Academic Skills and tests jus...

10. I would like to be a nurse

    Jessie88 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think Paco is right about men tending to choose ER and Trauma over other units, probably because it's more interesting to them, and everything else being equal, men are real assets in ERs because you guys tend to be physically stronger than we are....

    No problem. Glad I could help. :)

12. Saddleback students - a few questions about your program...

    Jessie88 replied to Jessie88's topic in California

    2lroberts: I called the nursing counselor you talked to, and she verified that my course meets both lifecycle 1 & 2, and my college is not one of the neighboring schools. I also know of someone else who had a three unit psychology course (human d...

14. Saddleback students - a few questions about your program...

    Jessie88 replied to Jessie88's topic in California

    2lroberts: i don't have the name of the counselor who answered my e-mail. i used saddleback's e-advice service (online counseling) and was told that my course would meet the requirement of lifecycle 1 & 2. now, i'm confused. i would really like...

15. Saddleback students - a few questions about your program...

    Jessie88 replied to Jessie88's topic in California

    @ 2lroberts Where did you hear that? You might have been misinformed. I know that they are not likely to acknowledge a pharmacology course that was taken somewhere else, but I do know of people who waived the lifecycle requirements with other cour...
