  1. Newly employed ADN nurses please read!

    Nearly all the job openings I came across said "BSN preferred" and some required it. I only found a few (out here in Southern California) that didn't explicitly state that. Some of my classmates enrolled in online BSN programs right after graduation ...
  2. How hard is it really to get a 4.0 in Nursing school

    Depends on the school. I know people at other schools that have done it or come close. At LA County College of Nursing, it can't be done. I talked with one of our instructors after graduating about this -- she told me, in all seriousness, "but nobody...
  3. Army new graduate board for FY2012

    The Reserve components (of all branches, I was told by a USNR nursing recruiter) will only accept a BSN. So if you're an ADN nurse (like me!) who had hopes of getting back into the reserve forces, you still have work to do. Keep in mind if you are pr...
  4. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

    Very nearly not!
  5. Who wears a nursing cap?

    What a great idea! I will, too :)
  6. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

    Not trying to scare you off but I repeat what others have said: County's program is hard. We're waiting to see if it's harder than it needs to be or whether we'll be grateful for what we've been through. Academically, most of us were A students or cl...
  7. Nurses' Caps

    Our school has a unique design that we have just been able to resurrect and reorder for the current graduating class. I'll email you pictures :)
  8. Who wears a nursing cap?

    I'm with you, Raincitynurse! I don't think they should be required any more but for those who want to reflect the tradition of this proud career, it should be allowed. My mother worked as a coder in a hospital in the greater Los Angeles area until re...
  9. Love those Nursing Caps..

    Out of the 33 women graduating in our class this month, 14 wanted caps. Our school has a unique design that students used to order through school. When it became optional in 1991, very few took the option although it is still in our handbook as par...
  10. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    Oh, I did forget to mention: GI Bill is paying for most of my nursing school expenses -- all the tuition, plus a stipend every month! Whoo hoo Check into that, as well. You're probably qualified to apply.
  11. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    Definitely not too late! We have several people in my class of 48 or so who are over 40, and at least a third of the class is >30 y.o. They are doing just fine, and all of them have various reasons for coming to this later in life than the "kids...
  12. Los Angeles County School of Nursing?

    4 days a week; 2 lecture & 2 clinical. All days start at 7 am, but end at different times. I'm told clinical days get longer each semester: now we get out at 1 pm, but 4th semester is there till 3:30. Nice not to have clinicals on evenings or w...
  13. I live in Los Angeles, not OC, so these may be inconveniently far for you. The 2 I applied to were the LA County College of Nursing and Mount St Mary's College Accelerated BSN. Here are their web sites: http://www.ladhs.org/wps/portal/CollegeOfNursi...
  14. I applied to two rather unusual programs and got into both on the first try this year. One has a point system based on the grades you earned in the core classes ONLY (so your grade in Anatomy counts; your overall GPA or your grade in geometry don't)...
  15. Los Angeles County School of Nursing?

    hey eric, just saw your question, so i'm posting an answer to your 2nd question in case you or anyone else surfing for it would like to know. (if you are still wondering about your first question, please post again and i'll answer; otherwise i'm ass...
