One more thing, make sure you buy the syllabus and do all the first week's readings in advance. That's my only regret so far, playing catch up is no fun.

Congrats! You applied at the right time, just 2 years ago, CCSF still had the 80% re-applicants and 20% new applicants slotting (about 400 new applicants competing for 20 seat!). But only 585...

Female Ken, I said what I said based solely based on my impression of your original post. I'll share some pointers that I still retained from those 3 how-to books. 1) HR spends roughly 10-20 sec...

Forgot to add: with only 1/3 of a page resume, I mostly focus on formatting, positioning/spacing to make it visually appealing--industry talk is "making a good use of the white space." Yep, that...

***Interesting. Female Ken, you chose "Kepner's" advice over the Yangs', especially with 1 interview out of "over 100 positions"? Well, my first impression was you did not consult appropriate...

SoCal, ADN, took it a month ago. Adjusted Individual Total Score: 91% ATI Academic Preparedness Level: Exemplary Mean - National: 64% Mean - Program: 64% Percentile Rank - National: 99...

And that's why you're over 25 (?) and he's 17. "prove/disprove the OPs ability to plan their future" is in direct conflict with "Bravo!!! Good for you for thinking ahead!" He's 17 (and very...

Frankly, yes. You may give it a try. (***less than 30% got it right. I did not get it right on my first try).

Hello female Ken. Are you even allowed to work below your license? **just received my adscope 603 (?) and for $27, it's WAY better than the cheap $19 Omron I got for my CNA program. e.g. on a...

Math section was surprisingly easy--the TEAS manual covers all the math you'll ever need for the exam. *3 ques. left--ran out of time. Reading section--should've reviewed more on the...

Here in SoCal, $10 at SNFs and around $14 in hospitals. As for me, I would tell fellow students and in job interviews that I did CNA to gain nursing experience. That's a partial truth. The real...

A Junior in high school? Bravo!!! Good for you for thinking ahead! CC is a very good route as instructors are really there to help (and as per most, if not all, CC's policy, instructors are expected...

Agreed. Don't beat yourself up, MarkinAZ. You failed a skill that requires no education--aside from 10sec of instruction. Next time, just count for the full minute.

The two words have to do with "absolutes" and the other has to do with "a sense of urgency."

"A" (Check the connection.) is a good answer (best answer if it's an RN question), but given that this is a CNA question, the best answer is: C. Perform cath care and tell the nurse asap. ...

"The ARC program is usually less expensive than the community college course." This statement needs to be qualified w/ a location. Here in CA, local CCs' tuition is at $36/credit hr.; NA...

Thanks for the heads up. Well, just signed up for Am Red Cross NA training down in E. LA ($1500 vs. local CC at $600 total; 4wks vs 9wks; late March vs Sep start date). Just wanted to get some...

Honest question: Why would you want a Master's in anything other than in APN? (esp when you haven't worked as a nurse). With a Master's, you'd be competing with the ADN's, BSN's, but not with the...

I think most of SoCal CC's are point based, but there are so many qualified applicants that then the selections become lottery based. Fresno City College is straight lottery based--just meet the...

Thanks for the info. I checked and SoCal is $1900, NorCal (just north of SF, only 2 loc's) is $1395 and available ARC Scholarship (worth $500--I should qualify--bringing it down to $895+90exam =...

I usually like to step in then hold the door from the inside so it's easier to pass the torch to the next dude, but for the ladies, I usually hold the door from the outside. Yes, I do it for both...

To BeachsideNic, post#62 You quoted angelxeternity and bolded: "Actually, for the CSU system if you already have a BA/BS you CANNOT apply for the BSN program." post#62 Your response: "This is...

(BeachsideNic) How can you be so sure that "This is completely incorrect" when you yourself did not "Check with each CSU campus for their admissions criteria..." ? It may be true for her uni...
