1. Is There Any Chemistry In The Test?

   jagsterr posted a topic in NCLEX

   I currently am in Chem but am thinking of dropping and switching to Physio. All I need for this one college is to complete Physio and I can get in to the Nursing program. But I will continue in Chem if it is needed for the NCLEX. Does anyone know?

2. Is it Easier to Get a Job As an ADN or a BSN?

   jagsterr replied to jagsterr's topic in General Nursing

   It's interesting to get all this input because initially I was under the impression that it does not matter and it's a personal choice to go for a Bachelors and to specialize, however more and more people I run into in the industry or students whose ...

3. Is it Easier to Get a Job As an ADN or a BSN?

   jagsterr posted a topic in General Nursing

   Does anyone know if it makes a difference when you apply. Are BSN's hired over an ADN?

4. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

   jagsterr replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in ADN/BSN

   I'm hearing that one should get the BSN to get paid more, and others tell me that is not true. Clearly you need your BSN if you want to further your career and specialize, but maybe status comes into play for some people. But 50% of the people tell...

   jagsterr replied to dienne's topic in California

   oh one question - do they choose by GPA or just first come first serve?

6. New entrance requirements at El Camino

   jagsterr replied to dienne's topic in California

   Honestly I am so burnt out from the classes because I did not have bio 1st. I had to put in that much more time trying to understand my classes. Can you believe I started with Micro first, then Anatomy and Physio because the counselors said start w...

   jagsterr replied to dienne's topic in California

   I'm ready to apply if they don't need chemistry. So I am in chemistry now. Congratulations on starting the program. So you applied last spring?

8. New entrance requirements at El Camino

   jagsterr replied to dienne's topic in California

   I just spoke to someone at El Camino today and they told me its a two year wait, however the nursing counselors do not share that with you. It's really confusing. I think they get paid per applicant so they just recruit. I hear some lots of people...

9. New RN program in So Cal!?!

   jagsterr replied to Skysail's topic in California

   I just talked to El Camino today, and they said the wait list is 2 years. Last month they told me the wait was one or two semesters. And I know that in December all the people that were accepted were called and told the Dept made a mistake but now ha...

    Dienne How long was it before from the time you applied to the time you got accepted. I am hoping to go there but I hear the wait list is 2 years.

11. LA County vs El Camino ????

    jagsterr replied to MacBaba's topic in California

    I know I'm jumping in on a conversation, however I called County and the gal said they take in, I think if I recall correctly 75is students from about 400 applications. So I think your high grades is what got you in the door. That consultant said ...

12. LA County vs El Camino ????

    jagsterr replied to MacBaba's topic in California

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. I am applying nonetheless and taking the tests each school requires for entrance. That will at least let me know if I am up to their requirements. I do have a BS in Sociology so some of those classes credits ...

13. LA County vs El Camino ????

    jagsterr replied to MacBaba's topic in California

    I just check with County, and they take about 60 to 120 students and they have 400 applicants. You could be on the waiting list for ever because they keep taking the top points. This is what the person on the phone said. I guess that's out for me.

15. LA County vs El Camino ????

    jagsterr replied to MacBaba's topic in California

    Thanks MacBaba, I am so sorry to hear that ECC made that mistake - it's really almost unforgivable because people plan around it. As for me, I don't know what I would do since I am living off my savings till I finish. I still have one more prereque...
