1. Is Age ever a problem

   DS22 MS replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was at my first job out of grad school for 16+ years. I hope I can be with a great hospital for 5 years minimum or as long as we work well together. It's all about the right fit.

3. Planning move to California

   DS22 MS replied to jnurse121's topic in California

   I'm in SoCal and it would be harsh on your kids asthma with Santa Ana winds. Cost of living here is slavery. I actually would love to move to Texas for culture. I'm a native and it's not the same place I grew up as a kid. Bottom line, make sure a pos...

4. Saddleback fall 2018

   DS22 MS replied to Eunhaeda's topic in School Programs

   We possibly have the same counselor. IIRC Fall 2016 submission threshold was 67. The points threshold has creeped higher and I suspect will continue if other local schools are impacted. I'm applying to 2 other schools. If all 3 deny me I'm leaving th...

7. Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

   DS22 MS replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   Just showing how difficult it is to find positions in health care from transporter to RN and the few opportunities people to have to fill "apparent" deficits. Tried military- too old. I'll shut up now

   DS22 MS replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks. Because of back taxes liens from a personal business that went south I'm ineligible for assistance scholarship-wise with them. I don't have any drug or criminal records or other legal issues. So, It's a tough spot I'm in financially. Without...

9. Why do some colleges only want you to take the TEAS at their school?

   DS22 MS replied to Jp381209's topic in Massachusetts

   Sounds like money. I took mine the day after Christmas off-site bc it was the only place that had a spot open. TEAS test sites get filled up fast. It's tough enough prepping for them then having to be further challenged with having to test at specifi...

    DS22 MS replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen job postings in local hospitals here in SoCal for RN positions (A BUNCH OF THEM) but wanting 3+ years & vast experience. I wonder why they don't fill. Seems like they want a seasoned nurse for pennies and will hold out until they get ...

    DS22 MS replied to lgarza825's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If possible apply to other schools. I'm applying to minimum of 3 maybe 4. Good luck

14. Funding fiasco for school,

    DS22 MS replied to DS22 MS's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for the insight. I saw some talking about the nurse Corp thing on Youtube. I don't have any issue working in a under-represented area at least I'd have work. Thx again.

15. Funding fiasco for school,

    DS22 MS posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    New guy here. Hi all. Does anyone have any practical tips in funding vehicles for school? I just applied to one school and have 2 others in March. I'm confident about my chances getting in but it's the funding that is stressing me to no end right now...
