  2. TWU - Weekend Program Fall 2009

    Does anyone know how many applicants and number of available slots the TWU weekend program has? Is it a little easier to get into because it's for people with a BS or higher in something else? Thanks, Dave
  3. Moving to SF...HELP!

  6. Moving to SF...HELP!

    Sorry, I don't know anything about new grad programs but if you want something to help out a little bit financially, you should look into the temporary employment pool at UCSF. You can get at least some kind of job for a couple of months till the new...

  8. Psychiatric NPs or CNS/ starting a practice

    Here's a book I found useful in learning about the basics. It's written by a psych CNS in CA. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0826194400/qid=1125718308/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-5473150-4980650?v=glance&s=books
  9. Anyone do NS ENTIRELY on loans?

    Remember that the feds have loan repayment options for NPs. Indian Health Service, National Health Service Corps, etc. Not a reason to go too crazy with the loans but might help ease your mind a bit. Doctoral students in nursing are also being offer...

  12. Direct-entry MSN programs

    They provide training to do whatever you're gonna do for them. For the men's STD clinic, I had training one night a week, plus working the Sunday afternoon /evening shift doing what I could do. I shadowed another medic, did the front desk patient che...
  13. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Let me also put in a plug for the Berkeley Free Clinic. It's a couple of blocks from UC. I got GREAT experience there as a Volunteer Medic in the men's STD clinic. You do physical exams, interview clients, obtain specimens/do blood draws, do UA to ch...

  15. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    Still pretty pricey. I'd suggest Vallejo/Napa/Fairfield area in the North Bay. At least somewhat more affordable (boy is THAT a relative term) and there are ferries into SF if you work there. I used to do the ferry from Alameda to SF and it was GREAT...
