   Hi Bubbles! I am not in the NU program, I am in the 2 year ADN (RN) program at Grossmont College. As a mother of a 4 year old and a 20 month old, I can tell you that Nursing school is difficult, but entirely doable. I also work 24 hours a week as a C...

   SDMamma replied to Cupcake619's topic in California

   It has been soo long since I have even had the time to log on to allnurses. The reason for this is obviously that the Grossmont Nursing program has been eating up 95% of my time between work and kids. The amount of reading we have in the first 4 week...

    SDMamma replied to Cupcake619's topic in California

    Thank you so much for the advice....especially the "come humble" part. I hear all too often that students with medical experience show up to Nursing school acting like know-it-alls, and then they get reamed by the instructors. Great piece of advice. ...

    They have acheived candidacy status with the NLN according to their website through spring 2010 and after that time, I would assume full accreditation. When I graduate, Dec 2010, I really hope they have full accredidation so I will surely post again ...
