   californiasky replied to amaxiechRN2011's topic in General Students

   I agree that your health should be your first priority. If I were in your situation I would talk to my teachers asap, let them know what is going on and work out a solution if necessary. I don't think letting them think you just skipped class is a go...

2. would love to be nurse, but a bit anti-social

   californiasky replied to Ms Li's topic in General Students

   I've always kind of laughed about how anti-social I am (luckily I've got a few good friends and a gf who are the same way).. When it comes to meeting new people, it can take a while for me to feel comfortable joking around them or just opening my mou...

3. I need your help Allnurses.

   californiasky replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Students

   I second the tai chi/meditation/holistic health option, if that's available at your school. It's basically a great way to relax and in turn help you stay motivated throughout the stress of nursing school. You said you've taken two years of Spanish. ...

5. Becoming a nurse for the money...

   californiasky replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

   I wont lie, I have to agree with the above post that the general superior attitude of the OP is perhaps more unsettling to many of us than the fact that the motivation is money. Of course, I recognize that this is an online forum, and none of us here...

7. SFSU BSN - foreign languages

   californiasky posted a topic in General Students

   hi everyone, I was wondering if there are any SFSU BSN students (or students from other schools if 2nd languages were considered for acceptance to the program) who had included a foreign language on their application, and if so, how often use of the ...

8. San Francisco State University (SFSU) BSN Program

   californiasky replied to julz16's topic in California

   Reading through this post, I noticed some transfer students were wondering about the Segment III GE requirements for SF State. I just wanted to throw out there that I highly recommend taking some Holistic Health courses for this requirement (they're ...

9. San Francisco State University (SFSU) BSN Program

   californiasky replied to julz16's topic in California

   This is what I posted on this thread one year ago...figured I would give a follow up since I applied again and just got my acceptance letter in the mail yesterday(!!!) - a complete shock to me, because after the first rejection I pretty much assumed ...

14. Loans and Volunteering

    californiasky replied to californiasky's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, I'm looking at 6 or so years of school as well.. oy. I think I saw somewhere on one of these forums that things like sign on bonuses and loan repayments as perks are a sign that the hospital has a high turn over rate, which could mean that the w...

    californiasky posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey all, I guess I'm wanting to ask about two somewhat separate things.. First, I'm looking for personal experiences or any recommendations/comments at all about volunteer organizations that might be attractive for nurses.. specifically ones that off...
