  1. Being a bay area native myself, I would say apply everywhere.
  2. Reapply to BSN program? Or take the ADN seat?

    I live in the bay area as well and I have never heard of "RN Certification process." Most of my RN friends that had previous associate degrees were just awarded a second degree when they completed nursing school. I would take the ADN seat because he...
  3. If you've been wait-listed or rejected

    Congrats and I totally agree with your message. Never give up! I have a dear friend who has wanted to be a nurse forever. It took her 7 years to get into an ADN program. She has worked jobs over the years but she really wanted to be a RN. Well she gr...
  4. NEW GRAD Having a hard time getting finding a job.

    Unfortunately, California has one of the highest unemployment rates for new grads. I have friends that graduated last year and they still do not have jobs. A few of them are working in SNF. The others are "still looking." Two of them applied to out o...
  5. ADN with a BA

    I suggest applying to as many programs as you can, ADN, BSN and ELMSN. It is very competitive to get into nursing programs here in Ca and you may or may not get in on your first or second try. Many of my friends graduated in 2013. A few found jobs i...
  6. Failed first semester by very small amount...

    I agree with the others. Dust yourself off and try again. You have to have a 75% in the ADN programs in my area. Anything less than that, you are out of the program. There is no starting again next year, you have to reapply with other people, basical...

    About 8 of my former classmates who graduated last June work for well-known Bay Area hospitals in CA and they still hold their former positions. It doesn't matter that they have been excellent employees at these hospitals for years, they have no RN e...
  8. Nursing Program for Low GPA

    I so agree with this!! Chemistry major is very difficult.
  9. RN degree or not, are RN's in demand?

    In my neck of the woods in California (Bay Area), it is brutal out here. I know so many out of work new grads who have been looking for work for over a year now. Some of them still work at Starbucks and retail jobs. But as the previous poster stated,...
  10. Los medanos 2013 lottery result

    Contra Costa had 28 seats (they did their lottery the first week of April). So I am assuming that LMC will be around the same. Hopefully, they take more than 19!!
  11. Los medanos 2013 lottery result

    Today some of the people who did not pass the TEAS V test last year are taking it over, so if they pass, those few spots will be taken thus reducing how many spots are available. They are guaranteed a spot.
  12. Failed Nursing School 2 yrs ago..Go back? (Long Post)

    I went to a pinning ceremony for one of my friends and 4 students failed out in fundamentals in fall 2010. They reapplied to the same program, got back in the program in fall 2011 and they just graduated. Do not give up on your dream because if you d...
