  1. New Grad Feeling Hopeless

    LittleCa replied to SNgirl21's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hey girl, I'm so sorry. It sounds like you are struggling a lot. Nursing is a hard job on your mental health as it is. I want to preface by saying I am not a nurse. I'm six months from graduating...

  2. Are most nursing programs a hot mess or is it just mine?

    LittleCa posted a topic in General Students

    I'm currently a third of the way done with an accelerated BSN and I'm very disappointed with how disorganized the program is. Mind you, this is a respected university rumored to be one of the best in...

  3. Are most nursing programs a hot mess or is it just mine?

    LittleCa replied to LittleCa's topic in General Students

    That is so true. Maybe do your staffing by acuity and not simply numbers. And far as school goes, they are just breeding that

  4. Are most nursing programs a hot mess or is it just mine?

    LittleCa replied to LittleCa's topic in General Students

    It's a private for profit school. I'd be totally fine reusing supplies just to get a change to try. We got that kit with some of those supplies but never got a chance to use it except for the foley...

  5. Are most nursing programs a hot mess or is it just mine?

    LittleCa replied to LittleCa's topic in General Students

    No, that is not a thing. We had a meeting with the program coordination and the dean and they were all like, "oh really, we were unaware. You guys need to speak up." So yes, we are pissed off. And yes...

  6. Please Help: Student Loan Debt

    LittleCa replied to natbrizam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Girl, I feel ya. I just got accepted to a ABSN at a private school that is going to cost me 54k and I'm already having nightmares about the debt. I know this is nothing compared to what you are going...

  7. Tips for new SICU CNA

    LittleCa replied to RN_OneDay's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi, I know this was a couple of weeks ago but I hope it can still be helpful. I've been a monitor tech/CNA/unit clerk at a cardiac ICU for almost two years now. The hardest part for me was...

  8. I can't believe this - wearing a mask during the test?

    LittleCa replied to guest1059427's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In my state, any essential worker is required to wear a mask indoors. My husband works at a power plant in an office and has to wear them for his whole 10h shift ever since this whole thing started,...

  9. SBCC Spring 2020

    LittleCa replied to coo15's topic in School, College Programs

    I didn't get it. I had calculated to have about 80 points. I wanted to try again but I just found out you can only take the TEAS once. I'm pretty much tapped out. I speak Spanish, work in health care,...

  10. LPN, Phlebotomy, EKG tech???

    LittleCa replied to RosieQ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, In case you are still looking for options. Here is my 2 cents. I started as a CNA, in California making $10/h. After a year, I applied for a position with Davita where I was trained and received a...

  13. Got rejected from an RN program. Help?

    LittleCa replied to giannav's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know the feeling. Where I live there is only one nursing school in a 100mi. radius. They have a point base system and even though I scored in the range that made it in the past three years, I didn't...

  16. Cuesta College Nursing Program

    LittleCa replied to mama_bear4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have applied but have not been accepted. My science GPA is 3.4, and my regular GPA is 3.9, my TEAS is 83. I have no repeats and I got points from need to work, speaking a second language and having...

  17. SJVC Visalia ADN app 2019

    LittleCa replied to Ms Salvatore's topic in School, College Programs

    Really? Fantastic. I guess anything in LA or the Bay would be automatically more competitive. My science GPA is 3.4 and my regular GPA is 3.9. My teas was 83. I already didn't make in our local point...

    LittleCa replied to Ms Salvatore's topic in School, College Programs

    No. I'm in the Central Coast. All we have is one RN program and another one about one hour south. If I was to get this I would spend the week over there with kind friends willing to rent me a room....

    LittleCa replied to Ms Salvatore's topic in School, College Programs

    Still nothing here. The wait, the wait! This thread does help. So thank you all for being here. I don't think I got in. My gpa and my TEAS are ok at best. I was hoping a private school would give me...

    LittleCa replied to Ms Salvatore's topic in School, College Programs

    Anyone else haven't gotten anything? The interviewer told me they were deciding that day (Thursday, 28th) and to expect a call or a letter soon. Seems like some people got an e-mail, some got a call....
