  1. Swedish Medical Center Residency 2015

    anyone else starting july/aug?
  2. Best advice to get ahead would be to get your CPR/BLS and try to be a CNA, unit secretary, or tech at a hospital while you're in school.
  3. How many men in your cohort?

    9 out of 47
  4. Try to be open to moving around the country! There IS a nursing shortage.. just not so much in places like California.
  5. I've heard Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Florida are looking for nurses. Moving out of state is probably your best bet!
  6. Advice for a potential second career male nurse?

    I am INFP as well. Working with patients actually has made me more extroverted.
  7. Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2012

    I took them through online approved courses. Taking them at SM is super expensive

    i applied for this summer and got in while taking patho and pharm. about to finish pharm this month
  9. low gpa, can i still become an RN?

    Samuel Merritt in the Bay Area has no repeat policy --- retake as many times as you want. Their ABSN does have a 60k + price tag. I retook some classes and got in this semester.

    PM sent to you ! :) Anyone else in San Mateo June that I missed?
  11. Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2012

    My advice is to go with the aBSN as the opportunity cost of doing the aDN + RN->BSN (3 years) vs aBSN (1 year) is a huge factor. Time is money!

    Just sent some PM's to people that I saw were going to be in the June cohort. Let's start that Facebook group!

    if i recall correctly bloodbourne pathogens can be found on AHA or Red Cross website. It's 25$ and just a web course. Think it has to do with gloves and body substance isolation but i forget.
  14. get A's in those classes you're retaking. My undergrad GPA was 2.94. I did my prereqs at a JC and got straight A's. Just got into Samuel Merritt ABSN! so it is possible.. just work your butt off.

    Ah yeah, I could do a Sunday thing too! I have a buddy who got in the program with me so I'm not really going in blind but I am down to get any advantage I can by forming study groups and the like early! I live in South Bay so holler if you're near...
