1. Pay rate for Spanish speaking RNs...?

   Skysail posted a topic in California

   I did some searching in the forums, and on the web but I get mixed answers. I've heard being a bi-lingual RN (Spanish) may only earn you an extra $.75 to a few dollars more, to a LOT more. But it's all just hearsay. I'd like to believe it's a lot mo...

2. Bi-lingual nurses, more pay?

   wow, it's my understanding that hospitals are wanting to recruit from Mexico, to help understaffed hospitals and because of the high amount of spanish speakers. It makes sense, but it's a shame.

   Hi Des11283, Walnut is a nice area, somewhat suburban with plenty of places to go for fun. Just curious are you a recent graduate with a BSN or ADN?

   Hi Namaste_Melissa, Are you located in California? I don't see that school, Vanderbilt, on BON website, http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/apprograms.shtml .. and it looks like they're located in Tennessee. Are you going to practice there?

   Skysail replied to Skysail's topic in California

   LOL, I didn't give them my email address, I didn't even want to give them my phone number when I first went there to inquire! I've learned my lesson from some of these colleges I've checked out. They are very persistent sometimes. If I hadn't moved I...

   Hi Apgar, which university(s) were you planning on attending for your MSN? I admit I haven't looked further into any colleges that might accept Everest's ADN. I'm just excited to be in a RN program nearby. For my circumstances this school is a great ...

   Skysail replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona

   Hi andimp00, Have you begun the Level I nursing courses yet? I was wondering how you are liking your school now. I'm in the first RN class in Everest, Ca, so I have no previous students to ask questions to. So far, I have a really good feeling abo...

   Hi Arizona students, I just stumbled on this thread, while searching... I'm in CA and starting the new RN program with Everest mid-July. I guess the first class in AZ is a good 6 months ahead of ours. I was wondering how the classes are going there...

    Skysail replied to Skysail's topic in California

    Hi AstrelOne: They should accept your science and other general prerequisites, even if they are older than 5 years as long as it's a C or better and from a jr college or an accredited college. They'll still need official transcripts, so don't just ta...

    Skysail replied to Skysail's topic in California

    Thanks for that info, I hadn't thought about that! I just assume an AS degree from an accredited CA college would be transferable. But M.K did tell me at the time they didn't know whether these courses would be transferable to another institution, i...

    a bit more... They do offer a LVN-RN bridge. LVNs will need at least 1 year acute care experience, a valid license, LVN transcripts with a cumulative gpa of 3.0, and pass the NLN ACE I-PN to RN exam. Also, the normal pre-reqs need to be completed an...

    Hi everyone, Sorry for the late reply, I will check this board more often! So here's the beans: I went to Everest College in Ontario last week, the campus is nice and small, it looks like a normal office building, and less than 4 years old. It's a C...
