  1. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

    As far as jobs, the program I was referring to which had students from the previous graduating class...about 50% of the graduating class within 1 month after graduation and taking the NCLEX had full-time job with most beginning at $46 an hour. This ...
  2. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

    The med-surg floor and the hospital I worked at...same as my colleagues had a max of 4 patients. There is a law in CA that prohibits someone from taking more than 4 patients during a shift.
  3. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

    There are houses in Cali that you can buy for 200k-300k. And there are places to rent starting at $600...and they aren't in the slums either. If you want to be able to afford living in Cali and working as a nurse...you can look for job in Northern Ca...
  4. 100k salary?

    I think the thing to take into consideration is yes, cost of living is high in California, but there are families who make $40k or even people who make 30k and are doing ok. You choose to live within your means or the glamorous life. My sister work...
  5. 100k salary?

    It's very possible, but depends on where you are working. I know states that have an active union pay nurses very well. Here in California, a new graduate with an associate's degree or bachelor's can make $46 per hour..starting! Now imagine if you f...
  6. University of San Francisco ME-CNL Spring 2013

    I may be applying...I think the personal essay/goals will play a very important factor.
  7. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

    wow, several nursing grads shared with a nursing program I was in that they are starting out at $46 per hour plus shift differential, etc. This is in Cali. A lot of RNs with ADNs are making almost 100k a year! Many in their first year!
  8. TEAS EXAM: I failed...Anyone take it with some advice?

    There seems to be no difference in the Math subject when it comes to TEAS IV or V. English and Reading are the subjects that are different from each version. It would be nice if the test included several basic and simple algebra problems and have the...

    Are you taking the class with SMU? When I asked about my prerequisites that I still had left to take, which were Patho and Pharm, L. told me they must be completed by August 31. When I spoke with someone at the Oakland campus they told me if I plan ...

    what prerequisite are you missing or is it still in progress?
  12. Spring 2012 Samuel Merritt ABSN applicants

    I think there are 40.
  13. Spring 2012 Samuel Merritt ABSN applicants

    Just looked at this older post...I agree. Just because you have a high GPA or high test scores doesn't mean you will definitely get in and if you have a lower GPA or TEAS score doesn't mean you won't get in. I have a higher GPA in my last 60 than my...

    That's great! I'm glad everything is working out for me...so thankful I'm going to Sacramento!
  15. Spring 2012 Samuel Merritt ABSN applicants

    I think there a several people who didn't receive calls, but emails. I was reading over some older posts in different threads and I'm under the impression that the email is the official notification and includes the letter of intent. I'm so glad I go...
