  1. grossmont &/or city college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to puresass's topic in California Nursing

    Wow, they sure don't make this easy. It's already bad enough for those of us who've been on the waitlist. Were we supposed to specify which program we wanted? I don't remember that question...

  2. grossmont &/or city college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to puresass's topic in California Nursing

    I don't remember getting the "Are you still interested in being on the waitlist?" e-mail recently. Do they just do that once a year? I hope that you all get it this Fall. I know I still have at...

  3. finger callus prevention

    sdmommie replied to MB37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you tried those little squishy things? I also like to use the cheap Papermate pens. So, these are nice to put on any pen. It's like a foam sleeve (1 1/2 in. long) that slides on your pen or...

  4. Online Science Courses

    sdmommie replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Have any of you come across a 5 unit Semester online Microbiology class from an accredited institution with the proper ratings? My CC will accept the units...if I can find one. BTW, I'm not sure...

  5. Anyone have an "unsupportive mate"?

    sdmommie replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hang in there...you know the truth...you're not fat, college isn't easy, and most people can't "afford" it. Sometimes husbands get cranky/mean when they think that we might not need them. You're...

  6. Location of UCLA and other questions

    sdmommie replied to YoungWiseWoman's topic in California Nursing

    YIKES! :smackingf :smackingf , I did get confused between West Hollywood and North Hollywood. Sorry about that. See, this is why I don't ever give people directions to get anywhere. Either way,...

  7. Location of UCLA and other questions

    sdmommie replied to YoungWiseWoman's topic in California Nursing

    Traffic is crazy during rush hour anywhere in L.A. Rent is cheaper in certain pockets of L.A. that are safe, you just have to know where they are. North Hollywood is obviously very liberal, and it's...

  8. Location of UCLA and other questions

    sdmommie replied to YoungWiseWoman's topic in California Nursing

    UCLA is located in Westwood which is part of the Westside. North Hollywood is about 10 miles away from UCLA. Like Gomer said, traffic in that area is horrible. It doesn't matter if you take city...

  9. Maric & Community college RN? Need more info!

    sdmommie replied to sparn's topic in California Nursing

    I had difficulty in enrolling in A & P. The counselor at Miramar told me that since I have a B.A., I was the last group to get an enrollment date. I've been waiting over a year now to re-take...

  10. grossmont college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to katilynn's topic in California Nursing

    I wonder if they are still waiting to see if they will offer the night/weekend section before letting anyone enroll in 120. I'm sure some prefer that

  11. grossmont college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to katilynn's topic in California Nursing

    I noticed that too. The other classes are getting filled

  12. should i take a ucla job??

    sdmommie replied to blee1's topic in California Nursing

    I did my undergrad at UCLA and think the area is awesome. When I lived in Westwood, it was fun to walk to shops and go out to eat. When I moved to Santa Monica, it was easy to hop on a bus and get...

  13. Garfield Medical Cenetr..

    sdmommie replied to fruity's topic in California Nursing

    Sorry, I don't know anything about the wages. I would imagine that they would be the same as other L.A. hospitals. Just a guess

  14. Garfield Medical Cenetr..

    sdmommie replied to fruity's topic in California Nursing

    The area is HIGHLY Asian. I lived in San Gabriel (next to Alhambra) and liked it. City traffic is really crazy at times. The BEST dim sum in L.A. area by far. Close enough to Pasadena for...

  15. grossmont college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to katilynn's topic in California Nursing

    Here's the link if anyone wants to read it... SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Metro -- Shortage of nursing teachers may hurt How important is it FOR THE STUDENT to go through a nursing program with...

  16. grossmont college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to katilynn's topic in California Nursing

    I would think that they would "cushion" that start time. If she said Spring 2007 and it didn't happen, then you would be upset and raise h**l. If she said Fall 2007, then you would expect it to...

  17. You'll never make it in California

    sdmommie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    Not sure why they ask you how often your paychecks are if it's not going to calculate it that way. What if you put in 72 hours at $29/hr. Does that work? I don't get a paycheck being a SAHM, so I...

  18. You'll never make it in California

    sdmommie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    I did a search for paycheck calculators and I found this one.. PaycheckCity.com - Hourly Paycheck

  19. You'll never make it in California

    sdmommie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    I've never lived in PA before, so I can't do a comparison for you. However, if it was really that horrible, why would so many people live there? Yes, Orange county can be expensive. Yes, you could...

  20. Advice needed on choice of schools...please???

    sdmommie replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say meet with a counselor at CSUF. What would it take for you to get yourself off/out of probation? It would might be easier to start there and get into the program. Plus, you would end up with a...

  21. grossmont college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to katilynn's topic in California Nursing

    It's a definite long shot for me to get in this Spring since I've ONLY been on the waiting list for 1 year, but could you please tell us what they require in order to start. I'm desparately trying to...

  22. grossmont college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to katilynn's topic in California Nursing

    I'm on the waiting list

  23. grossmont &/or city college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to puresass's topic in California Nursing

    Unfortunately, my start date is later. However, I did notice the same thing you did. I called the nursing office and they said that they won't know until mid-November whether or not they will be...

  24. Redondo Beach...?

    sdmommie replied to missjkh's topic in California Nursing

    I can't remember the good/bad parts of Torrance. However, please be aware of the ARCO oil refinery near there. It's probably a good idea not to live to close to it. Oh yeah, it's best to live...

  25. Im soooo lost..what do I do next

    sdmommie replied to Dreamer528's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're not alone. I think every school looks at applicants differently. My CC just wants you to have a 2.5 GPA on A&P and Micro. If you have that, you are able to get on their VERY LONG waiting...
