Auscultation of lung sounds is a cornerstone of nursing assessment, and I do it for all patients. Of course, I ask patients if they want to, and if they refuse, I don't do it. The problem is that the patient reported my lung sound auscultation as sexual harassment. I recently had an interview with CA BRN Investigator. As I explained the importance of lung auscultation to BRN investigators, I felt discouraged. I have less than 2 years of nursing experience. What fate awaits me in the future? Any advice please?

How to become PICC nurse in CA? I met few travel PICC nurses, they told me they learned PICC from their hospital. I can see that few companies offer PICC classroom courses. But…where can I find preceptorship etc? I can see some companies in east side of US offer everything including classroom + preceptorship etc..but I can’t find any in CA. Where can I start first in CA? Thank you.

Exactly 7 Alts came to orientation day, and I think "most" alts got in. I'm not sure the exact number. But when we started our first semester, there were only 38 students, not 40. How many spots available for second semester? I don't understand your question. Good luck for your TEAS!

Chaffey program is nice. clinic is fun. Exams are difficult. You won't have time on weekend. So busy. Any more specific questions?

Updates for those interested in Chaffey program (Info that never found from Online) 1. Alternate List a. Chaffey sent 10 Alt letters b. 7 out of 10 attended on the mandatory orientation c. Alt ranks were not given on the letter d. Alt ranks will be given based on his/her TEAS score 2. Accepted applicants a. over 30 out of 40 attended on the mandatory orientation b. one student is a veteran (Chaffey offers the highest priority to members of U.S armed forces) c. most students turned in their TEAS results 3. TEAS a. For alternate applicants, alt rank will be given based on their TEAS results b. For alternate applicants, if you fail the TEAS (below 62%), you are out. You need to apply again c. For accepted applicants, if you fail the TEAS offered by Chaffey (Below 62%), you will be given one more chance (Chaffey will hold your seat) Chaffey may ask you to take other courses. If you get over 62%, you are in. If you fail again, you are out. you need to apply again d. For accepted applicants, ok to take TEAS at another schools; however, if you fail there, Chaffey will not hold your seat. you are out. Important. P.S those accepted this term, feel free to contact me. I'm alone

Presort First class mail $0.45 post marked on Oct.05 = it shows that they send out acceptance/alt letters on the same day. notify my acceptacne to nursing Dept. by Oct.23 Monday Mandatory orientation is on Oct.27 Friday TEAS offered on Nov.17 Friday and Nov.18 Saturday I recevied the acceptacne letter on Oct.10 Tuesday.I live in Irvine. Yeah! I am really happy. I finally have something that I can start with! Since I already have my TEAS scores, I'm in! I don't expect from other schools, so I will take this seat.

Im extremely discouraged/disappointed now. This was my second try, I haven't received anything yet. Is USPS closed on Columbus Day? Better than nothing. Congratulates to those who received the letter! I applied to other schools, to be honest, due to my science GPA, I don't expect...hoping to get accepted due to their 10-20% random selection time to look for another career..

I have 2.9 prerequite GPA, 4.0 General Ed. GPA and AA degree. and I completed everything. Acceptance/Alternate letters will be sent out in the first 10 canlender days. Therefore, MOST people will receive their acceptance/alternate letters by today oct.06 friday.. Next week oct.09/10? very little chance. Those who haven't received anything by today, Good luck! I havent received anything either. Most likely 'denial' letters
