  1. Thanks for the reply, you just made my day! I was not able to make it to the information session and was assuming that if anything, the points needed for the bridge program would be higher than the 2 year program. Now I just have to wait for the lett...
  2. Prerequs for the prerequs :-(

    I don't know how many community colleges are around your area, but check to see if they all require pre-req's for the pre-req's. If you can find any that don't require them, then check with the nursing programs you are applying to to make sure they w...
  3. Just wanted to share my horrible interview experience

    Congrats!!!! I'm so happy for you :cheers:
  4. Culver city, Visalia or Santa Barbara

    Hi RNHURT, Sorry for the delay. 50 an hour will EASILY cover a 1 or 2 bed apartment in Culver City. I see them advertised around 800 a month. If your friend wants to work in Santa Barbara she could live in Ventura. Lompoc is about 50 miles north of S...
  5. Culver city, Visalia or Santa Barbara

    I would say traffic is much worse in Culver City. Its pretty much in the middle of Los Angeles, and only a few miles away from the airport so the freeways are always jammed. I went to school in Culver City and worked about 20 miles away. I would get ...
  6. am i a hypocrit?

    Hi, I think it's normal to feel anxious or scared about surgery. I had my tonsils removed when I was 17, and it was awful! It took me almost 3 weeks to recover. After I was healed, I felt so much better. I'm glad they are gone! Stock up on jello, and...
  7. Culver city, Visalia or Santa Barbara

    I don't know where Visalia is (central CA I think??), and have no idea about the hospitals, but between Santa Barbara and Culver City I would much rather live in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara is a cute little beach town. Its safe, quiet, and very ex...
  8. what are jobs a new lvn can get at los angeles?

    I worked as a Vet Tech for years before getting my LVN license. If you don't want to deal with people, that is probably not a good career choice for you. As a Vet tech you are going to be dealing with people all day long. You put owners and their pet...
  9. Is chemistry hard?

    Chemistry was the WORST for me. The teacher was terrible! He had such a thick accent that no one could understand a word he said. I am bad at math, and that made it really hard for me. All of the non math related concepts I understood, but I would g...
  10. have you been hired on the spot?

    I used to work at a pharmacy, and not only did they hire me on the spot (with no reference check or employment hx verification) they asked me to start working that second. I was a little thrown off and very suspicious, but I accepted. They walked me...
  11. studying anyone?

    Congrats! Passing is all you can hope for with nursing school sometimes. It is so hard to balance your time in school. Yes, you always need to study because there is just so much material, but you need to maintain some sanity at the same time. I had...
  12. studying anyone?

    I know you already took your test. How did it go? I usually give myself the day before a test off. I like to relax, eat a good meal, and catch up on sleep so I am ready to go the next day. If it is a big test, or I don't feel confident I will get to ...
  13. Best/Worst Jobs Before Nursing?

    Best Job: Worked at a fish and reptile store for years as a teenager. I only made $5.00 an hour under the table, but it was amazing! I actually woke up everyday and could not wait to go to work. I loved teaching people how to properly care for their...
  14. New Grad nurse/early pregnancy advice

    I would not say anything yet. I would give it another month or so and then tell her.
  15. Say What??????!!!!!!!!!!

    Just the other day I had a sweet little old man come up to me with tears in his eyes. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I am worried that if I accidentally tighten my Cpap straps too tight they will cut off my coronary artery and I will get a h...
