1. The rudest thing that's ever been said to you by a patient or family

   lolliloo replied to nikkole318's topic in Relations

   I've had a couple of patients give me unsolicited advice on losing weight. But then I've experienced the same from family and random strangers so I guess I can't expect the patient population to be different. Still hits me like a slap in the face in ...

2. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

   lolliloo replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

   I had to look up what "red bottoms" meant to understand this!

3. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

   lolliloo replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with many of the above posts that "luxury" means different things to different people. I'm 2 years in to my nursing career and I still get a little thrill every 2 weeks when it's time for my paycheck to auto-deposit. It is more money than I'...

4. Applying for Cuesta College RN Program for Fall 2012

   lolliloo replied to centralcoast2010's topic in California

   #7 and #10, I bet you get in. Part of me wonders if some of the "in" applicants will turn their spots down if they applied to other places as well, given Cuesta's current accreditation issues. Crossing my fingers for you both!

7. Trying to be an RN on the central coast of California!

   lolliloo replied to Wanna-B-Nurse's topic in California

   @Ms.Chia, I got in (application score = 85). I got your PM but the system wouldn't let me message you back because I don't have "quality points" or something. I hope you move right up that wait list. Do you know what # you are? Loliloo

8. Applying for Cuesta College RN Program for Fall 2012

   lolliloo replied to centralcoast2010's topic in California

   Ms Chia, hope you read this. I tried to PM you back but the system won't let me because it say I haven't been active enough on here. I did get in to Cuesta. I hope the college pulls through the accreditation mumbo jumbo. Did they tell you what posit...

9. Trying to be an RN on the central coast of California!

   lolliloo replied to Wanna-B-Nurse's topic in California

   @Ms.Chia Yes, I've been following Cuesta's accredidation issues. It sure is scary. The one comforting thought that's come up is that someone told me that when community colleges have "gone under" in the past, they often become satellite schools of o...

10. Applying for Cuesta College RN Program for Fall 2012

    lolliloo replied to centralcoast2010's topic in California

    Someone that I don't know well at all told me that her friend was 5th on the application period wait list with a score of 85 a couple years ago. That strikes me as maybe suspect... it's hard to say, though. I got a letter from Cuesta nursing a week o...

11. Trying to be an RN on the central coast of California!

    lolliloo replied to Wanna-B-Nurse's topic in California

    @ms chia and others, i got this information recently about the cuesta program and thought i'd share here: "nursing students can expect to be in academic classes 2 days a week and then in clinical another two days. there are also open lab hours that m...

    lolliloo replied to Wanna-B-Nurse's topic in California

    @lolliloo, At this time I'm not planning to; I would apply but they are requiring CNA certification to apply to the LVN program this year. I was going to do my CNA cert through a local rest home this summer but ended up taking another job right befor...

13. Cuesta SLO - Schedule? Working while studying?

    lolliloo posted a topic in California

    Hi, I have a question for current RN students of Cuesta college in San Luis Obispo, or recent alumni. I have 2 part time jobs that I'm juggling and a 3rd in the wings that could potentially begin in September. I am trying to decide which one would be...

14. Trying to be an RN on the central coast of California!

    lolliloo replied to Wanna-B-Nurse's topic in California

    @ms.chia., @sandraellen I'm curious about this too... I'm going to be applying for Fall 2012. I had a B in Micro (took it a long time ago elsewhere) and A's in Anatomy and Physiology at Cuesta. _Rumor_ is that you pretty much need A's in all of your ...
