  1. Things that gross you out..

    Lower GI bleeds smell absolutely foul (imagine wet dog food and diarrhea mixed together and heated up in the microwave). I have yet to experience anything beyond a stage II pressure ulcer but I'm pretty sure a stage IV on the sacral region would dest...
  2. ADN or BSN?

    I would say don't limit yourself on the type of degree you will be seeking. Regardless, an RN with a BSN and an RN with an ADN are both RN's and in almost all situations the make the same pay. Apparently some hospitals are only interested in hiring B...
  3. Can't even get classes.

    Minty Girl, you are not alone. I go to LBCC (also in CA) and it took me until my third semester to get into any of science pre reqs and I just BARELY got in. My anatomy professor was kind enough to let in 25 people off the wait list and I was 21st. I...
  4. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    Not sure of the specifics but I was looking at my CC's graduation rates and they were around 10%. It looked at all students and was based on how many transfered to a four year university or earned a degree or certification at the school in less than ...
  5. Still Feeling Crummy Months After an "Incident"

    I just wanted to thank everyone for their responses! I have definitely become much more vocal with the nurses since this all happened which is definitely a good thing, especially for the patients I come in contact with. I know that everyone makes mis...
  6. chem 1 and ap 2

    I took anatomy (our school teaches anatomy and physio separately instead of a&p1 and a&p 2), general chemistry, human development, critical thinking, and psychology. I believe it was 18 units total and I got A's in all of the social science c...
  7. CSU San Marcos Accelerated Bachelor's Program

    I am not familiar with that school in particular but the CSU system is an absolute mess right now so I am going to assume that, yes, it is probably very difficult to get into. If you're a transfer student it is going to be even harder since they alre...
  8. Pre-Nursing School Experience: Need Advice Please!

    Since I am also a pre-nursing student and the OP mentioned volunteering I assumed she was look for the same "experience" I am, which may or may not be the same thing you interpreted it as. I thought she was looking for any kind of patient interaction...
  9. Pre-Nursing School Experience: Need Advice Please!

    The people that see it that way are the ones who quit halfway through the training for the program. I have been in LTC care facilities before but before volunteering the last time I had been in a hospital was when I was born and they scared the crap ...
  10. Finishing Up Pre Reqs...FINALLY!

    Leenak, may I ask what is making you doubt yourself all of a sudden? I am pretty prone to self doubt as well as overwhelming anxiety and bouts of depression, especially when I look to the future. I know all this usually stems from me over-thinking th...
  11. I wanted to start off by saying that I'm a pre-nursing student and not an RN or anything else like that. I volunteer at a hospital near my house and am considered a "clinical volunteer" basically meaning we help the nurses with CNA type duties. I've ...
  12. Pre-Nursing School Experience: Need Advice Please!

    The particular program I am in is considered a "clinical internship" by the company that recruits us but as far as the hospital is concerned we are volunteers. I put "clinical internship" in quotes because in the end we are volunteers and I am pretty...
  13. Want to get job before going to nursing school

    Pretty much everyone I know who wants to go to nursing is going for CNA certification so that is a another option. CNA work honestly isn't very appealing to me so I was looking into EMT-B while I wait for nursing school. In my area you only need to t...
  14. Which degree to go for?

    I may have misinterpreted what you said in your original post and I am willing to admit that I also admit that I was not very clear in my own post. I am familiar with the CCNE position on the DNP but it doesn't sound as concrete to me as it does to y...
  15. Which degree to go for?

    If you just want to work in L&D as an RN you do not need a masters degree, HOWEVER if you want to actually deliver babies in the L&D you need a masters to be certified as a Nurse Midwife. This degree focuses a lot more on babies and their nee...
