  1. We never have enough nurses at our hospital!

    SD has a glut of new grads, but not so much in experienced nurses.....and hospitals aren't willing to pony up the money required to train the new grads....
  2. VENT about getting cancelled....

    Our union contract states that we cant be involuntarily cancelled more than twice per pay period
  3. Some of the Temecula ABSN students have gone as far north as Riverside.....I also know of people who go to Hemet, Inland Valley, and I heard this fall students will be going to Loma Linda Murrieta (from faculty, not a student)....but yes you can also...
  4. Any Cal State San Marcos Generic Fall 2011 (CSUSM)?

    Yes they do volunteer work. There's local groups we are involved with as well as some international missions. Honestly the program did well in terms of giving me the background info, but to really be prepared, it comes w/ time on the job.
  5. JULY NCLEX-ers!!

    took mine this morning....got 75 questions and screen went blue.....I felt sick to my stomach....I wish CA participated in the quick results thing....good luck to those that have to take it BTW- I hate "select all" questions....I must have had about ...
  6. San Diego North County RN hopeful Advice

    what was your experience like working with the advisors? i actually didn't work with the advisors before i was accepted, other than to submit my paperwork and whatnot. my advice is look at the admission point criteria, and try to get them all. s...
  7. CSUSM vs SDSU

    We do have a partnership with Palomar hospital, but it does NOT guarantee a job after graduating. About half of my graduating class is still without jobs (last I heard). The new grad situation is not a good one in San Diego, or any major metropolit...
  8. Any Cal State San Marcos Generic Fall 2011 (CSUSM)?

    Congrats to all that got in. Couple words of advice....Get involved. There's more to nursing school than just school. You'll be hearing from representatives of the student nurses association. I highly suggest joining and getting involved. It wil...
  9. New nurse moving to CA

    Southern California is especially horrible. For example, UCSD (one of the major medical centers in San Diego) posted for 14 new graduate positions and received over 2600 applications. Many of those people graduated back in 2009. It doesn't hurt to...
  10. San Diego North County RN hopeful Advice

    I just graduated from CSUSM. What do you wanna know?
  11. CSUSM vs SDSU

    They're both good programs. I will tell you that SDSU is very very competitive. That's not to say that CSUSM is easy to get into. Apply to both and if you're lucky, you'll get to choose which school you go to BTW- I graduated from CSUSM, but know ...
  12. Is Southern California New Grad RN Friendly?

    Bakersfield is pretty far away from San Diego...or even LA. I consider it more Central Cali than Southern Cali....but to each their own As for new grad positions in San Diego....they're becoming less and less....the area's saturated with new grads, ...
  13. Young female patients

    If you want to be picky about it, "pelvic area" is not the same as "perineal care"...."pelvic area" is an anatomical reference while "perineal care" references the care that is applied to said area....perhaps you might want to double check what you'r...
  14. To those that have a long commute

    6 months of commuting is not bad....I commuted at least an hour for classes, and sometimes almost 90 minutes for clinicals....did that for 2 years. I say go for it
  15. Need Advice From Students

    I'd try the dean or the operations manager.....call up the school and explain the situation. My school is always passing along job opportunities like this.
