The problem is if you live in a Metro Area such as LA, SF, SD, OC you are competing with a million people for that great RN job, you most likely will not get it unless you have serious conections. If you take a job at a SNF (with a goal of acute late...

Does anyone know if putting "DNR" on the outside of the chart in red letters a violation. charts are in the nurses station, but fellow patients could see that, as well as family members and non medical staff. its still private information, and it se...

There is alot to like about SLO. All the things that make it great as a small town, well being a small town there are things to not like. Really did not care for ASH. In my ideal world San Diego would be half the size it is, and they had a place like...

1. Would you recomend working there? 2. How were your coworkers, easy to get along with? 3. Is Napa an all male facility? 4. Is it easy to enjoy San Francisco while living in Napa or any of the surrounding neighborhoods? 5. Overall did you have a...

I don't want to make up someone's mind for them, i just feel people should hear all sides so they don't waste time. people say they love working in the prison. I worked in 3, never found anyone who loved it. People who say they love it, i ask this qu...

New grad RN at San Quintin gets 8500+ a month. state pay for RN is great. As is LPT pay. State pay for LVN is very low.

i grew up in the streets, so i got alot of street smarts, and street cred. if you grow up in the burbs, its going to be really hard to make it. Even with knowing how to handle and carry yourself, knowing how to give respect, knowing how to earn respe...

they are on a state hiring freeze because of the budget. not because of staffing. state has been giving layoff warning notices. some of the other facilities have still been going thru the hiring process instead of halting altogether, but staff is nee...

Somethings i would like to echo. Yes, officers are supposed to be with you at all times. thats what they will tell you when hired. ask the manager hiring you a million times, and thats what they will tell you. They may say eventually "depending on wh...

There are assaults at all the Mental Hospitals. the table incident was a few years ago!!! something happens all the time!!!! a women was nearly beat to death not too long ago at ASH, in a week period on my unit at NAPA, staff had cup of urine thrown ...

At Napa you got a good shot at days. Metro in LA, and Atascadero both are hiring me for nights. I don't care so much as i'm going back to school. If i'm in school bad shifts don't bother me, its a tradeoff. If i was not in school, i would hate that. ...

Not worked at that prison. i have worked 3 other california prisons. Shifts and weekends depends. If you work out in the yard clinics, vs. CTC (prison hospital with ER). Clinics are M-F, Hospital is 24 hour. Some clinics, staff works 4 ten hour shift...

Salinas Valley, SaN Diego, and Folsom hired new grads. Depends on manager and facility like anything else. I worked at plenty of places that said they didn't hire new grads, but one day boom there i was working with a new grad. Don't ever let anythin...

I did my training at ASH, and i worked at NAPA in addition to 3 prisons. Not to sound like a jerk, but NICE depends on what you are looking for. There are safer jobs. There are more rewarding jobs (spiritually vs. monetary) help the women who was rap...

I replied awhile ago when i was a LVN, I even had a argument with someone who didn't even work for the state who would argue with me about pay, she would follow me around. By the way, i was right back then too!! anyway im a RN now. state pay vs. hosp...

1. the school itself is accredited by the same body that does other major institutions such as the University of Washington, University of Oregon, Gonzaga University, University of Utah, University of Idaho, and Brigham Young Universi...

Do you know this school is formed by 19 US state governors, not just joe down the street wanting to make a buck. yes, we can make jokes about politicians and they do things for a buck, but again 19 US Governors formed this school as a non profit. Tha...

This is a general warning page, no where does it say anything about the school in question. When in fact, this school is on the approved page of the state. so again, where exactly are you finding your information? Again, im a RN now, i agree you need...

when your "school" shows up on the state board as an approved school, as Western Governors does, perhaps we can talk about that. But again, did you actually go to this school? Did you actually get fried? Do you actually know anyone who did? Or are yo...

actually i just looked on the state board of approved schools for RN, and Western Governors is on it. So again, what exactly do you mean.? funny though, Maric is not on there, and i know a million nurses who went to Maric, and sat for the board, appr...

Can you show me where i can find out if a school is approved, and what exactly that means. Can anyone show me where Maric college, National U and U of Phoenix is a approved school, and i know many RNs from Maric and these other 2 schools. This would ...

Im actually a RN now. So sitting for the board is not really a issue for me. Im more interested if their BSN will allow entry in military, they say it can. Im more interested in their BSN allows me to work in the VA, they say it can. Im also interest...

What do you mean, not recognized? do you mean you are not able to sit for the NCLEX in California? Seems to me from their website you can. I am waiting on info from them. Maybe its more like Maric in san diego. At Maric you get your RN take the NCLEX...

Hi I'm a RN, became one when there was not much of a wait list to get into a school. My friend however is 327 and 382 on 2 waiting lists. Now granted some of those people are on both lists, some won't be ready, etc, so her number is a bit higher, b...

Thank you, i knew about West Coast and St. Marys, however i'm pretty sure she wants to stick with public schools. I'll check out El Camino and LACC. What are people's thoughts on Fresno City? They graduate about 250 a year. Also, any schools in the b...
