  1. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    BeccaznRN replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    My SO is serving in the military in CA......good enough reason for me to move there!

  2. Looking for Summer Nursing Internship

    BeccaznRN replied to jjg003's topic in General Students

    I don't know of any links to find nursing internships/externships. I would suggest contacting hospitals or visiting websites of hospitals in areas that you are interested in. That's how I found the...

  3. Disrespectful to instructor....

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

    This is so sad. We do live in a changed society, IMHO.....I would have never even dreamt of disrespecting a teacher when I was in grade school and high school. That attitude has carried over with me...

  4. New grad bonuses?

    BeccaznRN replied to california70's topic in General Nursing

    I would contact nurse recruiters from each of the hospitals you are interested in. I'm pretty sure that BJH and St. Luke's offer bonuses, but I can't say for sure if they are for new grads or only...

  5. 4 weeks...(venting)

    BeccaznRN replied to lilshamrock's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree. BP seems to get a lot of students....in fact, toward the end of my first semester a classmate ended up getting completely thrown out of the nursing program because she spent the whole...

  6. Bad area/good areas of LA- need list please

    BeccaznRN replied to 777RNThatsMe's topic in California Nursing

    UCLA requires four weekend shifts per month. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights (as well as Saturday and Sunday days) are all considered weekend shifts. I can only assume that other L.A. hospitals...

  7. Bad area/good areas of LA- need list please

    BeccaznRN replied to 777RNThatsMe's topic in California Nursing

    Here's my story: I was living in Ventura over the summer and commuting to UCLA (I did a summer externship at the hospital - it was fabulous!). There were days that were better/worse than others, but...

  8. Chamberlains.........???

    BeccaznRN replied to Cassco's topic in General Nursing

    I did one semester of the on-campus BSN program a few years back. I didn't have any serious problems with the school (but I was definitely not impressed either), but I was forced to leave the school...

  9. crocs

    BeccaznRN replied to RN2B07's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have one black pair, and I'm dying to get some more! I really want to get the yellow ones

  10. Deaconess changed its name

    BeccaznRN replied to rclimbr's topic in General Nursing

    Well said. Like I said in the other thread about Chamberlain/Deaconess, I attended this school for one semester and I was very disappointed. I currently attend UMSL (graduating in December! ) and...

  11. nurse licensure compact

    BeccaznRN replied to greenbird's topic in General Nursing

    Illinois is on the list for possible or pending legislation, according the the link you posted earlier. Hopefully it will

  12. nurse licensure compact

    BeccaznRN replied to greenbird's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a fantastic idea! It would work really well for places like St. Louis where people work in Missouri but live in Illinois. However, what about states in the compact that require CE for...

  13. chamberlain college of nursing

    BeccaznRN replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    I am attending UMSL - it's a great school and you'll definitely get the education that you'll pay for (approx. $6500 per semester). However, I don't believe they have a LPN-RN bridge, just RN-BSN. I...

  14. Welcome to the Missouri State Forum!

    BeccaznRN replied to suebird3's topic in General Nursing

    No kidding! I check here quite often and it's pretty dead. I know we have a nursing shortage and all, but surely there are some nurses and/or students in our state somewhere! :roll Nice to meet...

  15. Welcome to the Missouri State Forum!

    BeccaznRN replied to suebird3's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Jefferson County. I lived in California for about five years total but otherwise good old Jefferson County has been my home since birth. I am a senior nursing student at UMSL and I'm...

  16. Externships in Southern Cali?

    BeccaznRN replied to zazenchic's topic in California Nursing

    UCLA offers a summer externship, but you have to be a senior BSN student to qualify. I go to school in St. Louis but I have spent my last two summers in California (SO serves in the military out...

  17. Is it really THAT bad?

    BeccaznRN replied to easy4U2say's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can relate. Most of the people that know me very well know my reasons why I'm striving so hard to be a nurse and support me 110%. Of course, there are always the few that say "Ewww, I couldn't...

  18. Body Worlds exhibit....

    BeccaznRN replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed! I saw the exhibit two years ago in Los Angeles and I would LOVE to see it again...if it ever comes to St.

  19. Chemistry, prerequisite

    BeccaznRN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was also one of those students that was dreading chemistry - ended up walking out of it with an A and I feel like I study way, way more for my nursing courses than I ever did with chemistry. The...

  20. What does your school do....

    BeccaznRN replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same at my school - once you're enrolled in clinical courses, you are required to show proof of CPR. And at our school, your CPR certification CANNOT expire during the semester. If it does (like in...

  21. Advice...

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

    I would strongly advise you to take that chem class and go for the nursing program at Sac State as well. It seems like all of the nursing programs in California state are compacted, so any way I...

  22. Picking a college

    BeccaznRN replied to GCR289's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A question I would definitely ask of any nursing school is the ratio of students to instructors, particularly in the clinical setting. Some other good questions might be what hospitals the school has...

  23. Forming good study groups

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

    I was a part of a study group for micro, and it really saved me! I started out failing an exam....got into a study group and immediately started getting better grades. The only thing I did was...

  24. Belleville

    BeccaznRN replied to curlysin's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a helpful link to let you know about Belleville, Illinois: http://www.city-data.com/city/Belleville-Illinois.html I can't give you much information regarding RN pay since I still in nursing...

  25. You know you're a nursing student when...

    BeccaznRN replied to Megsd's topic in General Students

    When you remind your fellow nursing students before a flight to drink lots of water and move around as much as possible - we don't want any
