1. I need help from anyone who took NCLEX in California!

   Melindy06 replied to sparknine's topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX-RN in CA on Jan 19th 2012. About 8 other people in my graduating class took the exam the SAME day as well. Long story short, about 3 of them saw their name and license # on the BRN website about 7 days later. I was PANICKED because m...

   Hey guys! I am actually finishing up my first semester of nursing at Grossmont after 3 years of waiting. I feel so bad for those of you that have struggled through this long period of waiting only to hear that they're changing the system. Grossmont i...

   Melindy06 replied to katilynn's topic in California

   I put my name on the waitlist in the beginning of Jan 07. I turned in my application as soon as grades were posted for micro so I'm pretty sure it was the beginning of the month. It's been a looong 3 years of waiting but it is certainly going to pay...

   I hope to say "I" really soon! I've been on a waitlist for 2 years and will find out in the next 2 months if I am blessed with a Fall '09 acceptance! Keep your fingers crossed for me. . .

10. What the Heck Moments!

    Melindy06 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who up until the age of 20 thought that women had one "hole." He thought that they peed, pooped, and got their period all out the same place, and was really disturbed by this. I guess he didn't pay attention in Sex-Ed. . . .

11. Why I love nurses, paramedics and the people that saved my life!

    Melindy06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm new to this website and just wanted to share a story. I wasn't quite sure where to post it, so I figured that this might be a good place! I am a pre-nursing student and have wanted to become a nurse for a very long time. I had a very traumatic ex...

13. Can I really get over the "icky" side of nursing.... (kind of long)

    Melindy06 replied to futureflrn's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I also recommend volunteering. I am slightly in the same boat as you. I really want to be a nurse and always have, but was a little leery about certain fluids (stool and vomit). I have been through all of my pre-req's and am now waiting to get into ...

14. Wait lists

    Melindy06 replied to adavis4's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm here in San Diego and have been on a waitlist for 2 years! Nursing schools here require hard work and a lot of PATIENCE (as with anywhere else). I have worked hard, and I am now remaining patient. I applied to my local community college 2 years a...

    Melindy06 replied to katilynn's topic in California

    So that's what they do! I always see those commercials and they totally glamorize it. Not to be mean, but do you think that it was a waste of time? I mean you obviously learned skills that will eventually be beneficial to you, but for others that mi...
