1. How is the San Diego Job Market?

   gc1010 replied to galletamonster's topic in California

   So I am a CSUSMer that graduated in August '13 and I read the facebook page that my cohort used throughout the program and I see a lot of problems getting hired. To get in a new grad spot you NEED to either be working at the facility currently in ano...

2. CSUSM course workload examples

   gc1010 replied to luv_o_so_much's topic in California

   Sorry, I'm in the ABSN, just finishing. I don't know what the generic schedules are like. The units will be all over the place with about 6-10 lecture hours and a similar clinical hours. the lecture is usually all one day and the clinicals are all o...

3. CSUSM ABSN Summer 2013 Temecula campus

   gc1010 replied to th2200's topic in California

   Finishing this program in one week. It had been fun at times and at others complete misery. After psych I jokingly created the disorder SAD, school affective disorder. You will probably feel like dropping out every semester. It is not because it ...

4. RN Personal Trainer

   gc1010 replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

   just found this old post and I need to disagree with your statement about the whining clients. Being interested in physical education and nutrition myself, I think that working with the whiner is actually more valuable by means of health promotion. O...

   @malzi, no guarantee on getting SM in the spring because of their random assignment. Keep that in mind. Temecula isn't bad, the equipement is fine but I don't know about a comparison with the SM campus because I've never been. The facility is actuall...

6. Question about weird clinical hours

   gc1010 replied to gc1010's topic in General Students

   we have to fill out a patient map that has CC, Hx, Meds, pretty much all the subjective and objective data collected. Then we go back and actually do our assessment the following day. then we do a nursing care plan. I think that we should come earlie...

7. Question about weird clinical hours

   gc1010 posted a topic in General Students

   I'm in fundamentals and health assessment so we are at the SNF and my school wants the students to go to the SNF the day before our clinical days to pick a patient and do a write up. Is this the way you have done it? There won't be an instructor or a...

   You could work a lot the first semester. so far it is only three days a week. 2nd semester is also 3 days but much longer hours as we jump from 9 units to 14 or something.

    gc1010 replied to sarah-V's topic in California

    I would suppose that fall is more competitive but the have hundreds/ thousands of applications rolling at all times. What the advisors say is that they offer the top 10 percentile and the next 10th and so on (not actual numbers but something like tha...

    gc1010 replied to sarah-V's topic in California

    we are only in class 2-3 days a week, for 3 hours a day. Bad news with the san marcos campus... you are not guaranteed to get it. I applied for cohort 9 or 8-9 because there are two cohorts and I got temecula instead of SM and there is little you ca...

    and there are a bunch of people that are figuring it out as they go along. so just worry about getting in, then worry about money.

    @amyca, that is pretty close, 43k is high though. the low end tuition, suplies and fees is 33-34k but the high end is maybe 35-36. The requirements are well laid out and planned for. the major difference is in weither you pay full price for books and...

    gc1010 replied to sarah-V's topic in California

    You can work pretty heavily the first semester as there are only 9 units and the classes are easy. I haven't started clinicals but everyone seems to say that the hours on that are all over the place so working would be tough. You should qualify for 1...

    gc1010 replied to sarah-V's topic in California

    It's alright. Be sure to do your fafsa before march because they are so behind that the semester has already started, we all have fee deferments until the 26th (sept) but you cannot do things until you are officially enrolled in the school. The first...
