   I'll be serving whine at my pity party

   jadedjane replied to jadedjane's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks jenni811! The market out in SoCal is still tough. New grad programs are opening up their online applications for their August cohorts, and closing down the applications after a day (and that's on a good day). Some have closed down in just a ...

   Saddleback Nursing School, Spring 2013

   jadedjane replied to chelseaandnoah's topic in California

   In all honesty, it depends on several things. What is your learning style? Was pathophysiology and pharmacology really challenging? I did the reading assignments (as much as I could) but I reached a point in second semester where I just couldn't s...

   jadedjane replied to jadedjane's topic in General Nursing

   I think the interview went well. It's really hard to tell with a screening interview, plus there are so many applicants. As I was sitting and waiting for my turn, I could hear screaming (and laughter) through the walls..so once I was called, as I ca...

   Hi there! I just graduated in December 2011 from Saddleback. It IS an awesome program indeed. To answer your questions: I really would like to get a sense of what the curriculum will be like: You are right, it is different for everyone - even thou...

    IV flulids/solutions and WHY??

    jadedjane replied to Tsatalstrana's topic in General Nursing

    I have a book titled Manual of I.V. Therapeutics by Lynn Phillips. It's goes into great detail about all the different types of fluids, and why a patient gets them, and what they do in the body. It's such a great resource.

    jadedjane replied to jadedjane's topic in General Nursing

    There are a few jobs opening up on the west coast. Sharps in San Diego has a good residency program, UCI and CHOC both have a lot, but they typically hire straight out of the UCI nursing school pool. I'm going to keep on top of the job search, keep...

    Sapporo is good. Have you tried Singha (Thai beer)? It's a little deeper flavor but still crisp, and it takes me with just one bottle (cheap date - lol)

    jadedjane replied to jadedjane's topic in General Nursing

    Mindlor It could be. I'm hesitant right now because I have one daughter still in high school, and my husband has a job (a good one, with stock options, insurance, and weeks upon weeks of paid vacation) I do have roots in Colorado, Texas, and Arkansa...
