  1. Which program are you doing and why?

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

    I have a B.A. in Psychology and on a waiting list at a CC for an ASN. It's the only night/weekend program in the area that I can apply to. I am a SAHM, so I'm not going to put my children in daycare...

  2. Interested in Nursing

    sdmommie replied to fifteen4three's topic in California Nursing

    I believe that Grossmont Health Occupations and San Diego City College both have an LVN program. I think that might be a better option for you than Maric College because the transfer of credits. You...

  3. Opinion plz; class load

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

    How old are your kids? If you have school aged kids, then it wouldn't be so bad. You could study when they are at school. I took just Anatomy with a 1 and 4 year old at home and it was tricky at...

  4. Redondo Beach...?

    sdmommie replied to missjkh's topic in California Nursing

    There are nice parts to Torrance also. There's lots to do in Redondo. Fun city, but lots of traffic on small streets. I think the commute from Redondo would be easier than Santa Monica. It could...

  5. Is it easy to find an apartment close to UCLA Medical center

    sdmommie replied to MQ Edna's topic in California Nursing

    It is easy to find apartments near UCLA Medical Center. The problem is cost, traffic and parking. Make sure you choose an apartment that actually comes with a parking space if you have a car....

  6. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    sdmommie replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    I moved to Portland before I had kids. It was beautiful July - September. However, when it rained on my birthday in June, I took it as a sign to move back to California. Portland is wonderful in...

  7. Was I mean?

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

    I wouldn't have given her my notes either. I have experienced that "look" before also. I don't know why people don't just say hi. I wouldn't have even sat down next to her. That said, I wouldn't...

  8. Nursing school

    sdmommie replied to dontknowwhen's topic in California Nursing

    It depends where you plan on applying. Do you have a preference? I've heard of some schools that don't have a waiting list, but that just means that they choose from the best for that semester and...

  9. Getting a Spouse's Support

    sdmommie replied to nynurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that you should follow your dream. I can see not wanting to get into more debt, but this is more of an investment in your future. It's easy to spend 30K on very little these days. You never...

  10. grossmont &/or city college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to puresass's topic in California Nursing

    Mercy! She is STILL on the waiting list? Yikes, for me. I've always wondered why they don't post what number you are on the waiting list. I think Palomar lets you know where you

  11. grossmont &/or city college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to puresass's topic in California Nursing

    I think they admit more than 30 each semester. I look at the course schedule to see how many spots are available in the beginning nursing classes. It's annoying to see ANY spots available 'cause I'm...

  12. grossmont &/or city college waiting list

    sdmommie replied to puresass's topic in California Nursing

    I went on the Grossmont waiting list in Jan 06. I'm obviously not in yet. Last I heard, they were telling people 2-3 years wait. I'm waiting for the evening/weekend program which only starts in...

  13. considering dropping one...

    sdmommie replied to mermaid36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My heart goes out to you. I think it's hard enough to stay on track in Micro let alone catching up. I vote for dropping it while you still can. I would concentrate on getting the best grade (and...

  14. Sleep Deprivation Anyone??

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

    I find that if I take a cat nap during the day, my sleep at night is affected. In the afternoon when I'm exhausted, I have a cup of tea or a half cup of coffee to wake me up. I'm also a constant...

  15. Advice...

    sdmommie replied to jda1977's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I've read on this board, don't count on enrolling a certain semester until you actually get that acceptance letter. I, personally, would do what I could to get in Sac State. 45 min is a...

  16. I have a strange request

    sdmommie replied to pekinsweety86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely ask the professor at the start of the class to see if your edition will do. What if the actual problems are different? Is there a copy on hold at your school library for you to...

  17. Freaking out about Anatomy dissection...

    sdmommie replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dissected a rat in high school. All I remember is that the smell of it bothered me more that the actual dissection. My lab partner (6' 4'' football player) nearly passed out on me, so that left me...

  18. Can I earn RN online?

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

    You might want to consider a night/weekend program. There's a CC by me that offers the program where the classes start at 5pm M-F and your clinicals are done on the weekend. You would go two days...

  19. Forming good study groups

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

    I found study groups to be helpful, just in case... If you get sick, can't make it to class, etc. Although you plan to be there for every class, it's nice to know that you can ask someone else for...

  20. Do I need a recorder....

    sdmommie replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used a tape recorder for my Physiology class. My professor stood at the front of the class the whole time, so it was easy to record her. Personally, I found it to helpful because even though she...

  21. AP during the summer term

    sdmommie replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did a 6 week course (M-TH 5-9pm). It was difficult, but since I only took one class, it was okay. I didn't have time during the day to study and I worked on Saturdays, so it just took a little...

  22. Need Help Figuring Out Commute!!

    sdmommie replied to StephRN25's topic in California Nursing

    Escondido to Downtown is pretty far. Are you going to be working Downtown? You could check http://www.signonsandiego.com for real time traffic information. You'll see the slowdowns in the same spot...

  23. how expensive is california? CAN A NURSE MANAGE WITH HER WAGE??

    sdmommie replied to curlysin's topic in California Nursing

    Okay, to get back to the topic on THIS thread... As far as figuring out what someone could possibly make as an RN, when you say $57.17/hr (Miss_Mab for example), is that just straight hourly wage with...

  24. Something all OB nurses should know.

    sdmommie replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess I am part of the minority on this issue...I had two early miscarriages and was glad that the staff didn't make a fuss. I just wanted to go home, cry, and grieve in my own way. My doctor...

  25. Has anyone heard of this?

    sdmommie replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I went from a private college to a state university, some of my GEs were not going to transfer. The didn't have an equivalent class according to the title. I had to submit the syllabus for each...
