    My chances of getting into a nursing program in California?

    Luchador replied to jaidon84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is key. I'm not in California but I didn't get into the local school. I did get into my back up, which is a long drive. I'm not the only one driving there, of course, and a lot of students from...

    Side jobs...

    CBD oil Medical Marijuana Products and drug tests during nursing school

    Luchador replied to Lilymoonstorm's topic in General Students

    It is very frustrating. I broke my knee into "a million pieces" (the surgeon's words) a few years ago. I now have "moderate to severe" arthritis and a 10 mg THC gummy bear from Maggie's farm here in...

    Luchador replied to Liz48's topic in General Students

    Alexander gave you good advice, let me just add one thing. I'm in my first semester (ADN) and we lost some students last week- the deadline to drop the class with a "W." If you do poorly on the...

    EMT or CNA?

    Luchador replied to Carleydillabo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very hard for a new CNA to get a hospital job. You will get a job in some nursing home and spend your shifts giving showers, changing diapers and wiping asses. I know because it's what I do. Don't...

    No, because I only applied to accredited schools. You are right that at the end of the day, an RN is an RN, but there are a legion of issues that unaccredited schools make you vulnerable to. And you...
