A group of girls in my nursing program are seriously considering going for a 6 week volunteer trip to Honduras this summer. We would be working in a health clinic/hospital in an underserved area. There is a program called Volunteering Solutions, wh...

Thanks everyone for your advice. Suit it is! :) Can't wait!

So I landed an interview at my dream hospital here in Chico, in Med/Neuro, and am so so excited!! I work at 2:30pm on the day of the interview, which is scheduled for 1pm. The lady on the phone (I think it was the nurse manager but not sure..) said...

I am getting 7 shifts with the treatment nurse (I will be working pm's where I will have to do some of the treatments after she leaves at 430pm), and 3 weeks (12 shifts) with the PM charge nurse, which is what my position is. I am soo thankful for t...

So here is my situation: I applied to two positions, and had interviews for both yesterday. We'll just call them Job A and Job B. Job A has great Medicare reviews (5 starts), while Job B doesn't (1 star), which is why at FIRST I thought I would pr...

No, it is for-profit, and there are multiple locations around California.

I did get offered a position for the other facility, but I chose the 5 star one, and am SO glad I did! From the moment I accepted the offer, everyone has been so welcoming and nice. The DON seemed super excited when I called back accepted the offer....

Thanks for your reply! I think the patient ratio of the place I was offered a job scares me.. 37 patients, versus 23. But hey, low staff turn-over does say a lot about the place. Why would people stay in a crappy facility? Ugh I just didn't know ...

Hi SunRayRN! My husband and I also recently relocated to Chico, from Southern CA. I graduated nursing school in May and got hired here last month at a pediatric daycare facility. We might actually need another RN, so maybe you could try applying to...

This New Grad Care Partner program is open again, and starting in September. I already completed the assessment test and preliminary interview, which went really well! The next step would be a panel interview, with 5-6 directors of nursing. I am v...

Starfish- I actually found another program that I like better, IVHQ, that goes to Guatamala and am 95% sure that is where I want to go now. Im even more sure now after hearing how much you loved it! What program did you go with? Did you get to do...

Thanks for your answers, its good to hear that you both had such great experiences! I am so excited and hope it will open my eyes to another culture and get some real hands-on experience.

Yep, same here! We haven't had any tests yet, but I feel like I really need to get organized and find some sort of routine. I just feel overwhelmed just looking over the syllabus with all the reading and stuff we need to know in so little time. We...

I start August 16th! I've already bought all my books and uniforms and all I need now are all the fun school supplies like pens, notebooks, etc! I can't wait to start!!!

I was also accepted for Fall 2010!!! I'll email you guys that are accepted so we can talk before! And Lee701, what orientation are you talking about? As far as I know, the TEAS test is on June 24th and the orientation is July 14th.. Rayna

Congrats Maymie!! I would love to talk to you! And yes, there is a lot of paperwork and stuff to do before we start!

I just received an email this morning at like 10am that I was accepted for Fall 2010!! I can't believe I got in!!

I just now received an email and... I GOT IN FOR FALL!!!!! I am beyond ecstatic right now, I can't believe I got in! :) Good luck to everyone else who applied, hopefully I will see some of you at orientation!

JUNE?? Laaaaame!! This is the only school I applied to, since I really dont want to have to commute, and SRJC is such a good nursing program, but man, if I dont get in, I dont know what I'll do.. I wish I had at least applied to their LVN program, t...

This is my second year applying and I cant WAIT to find out if I'm in or not! Last year I got an email during my honeymoon, actually, which was on about May 27... I really hope they do tell us earlier this year, I seriously can't wait another minute...

Yes, I found out by email on May 26th that I was not accepted It was the only school I applied to, too.. I'm so stupid! There were over 400 applicants and only 60 spots for fall and 60 for spring. Bummer "Dear Applicant to the ADN Program, ...

So.. I had my phone appointment with OU yesterday and got some good news and some bad news. Good news first.. you can have prereq's in progress when you apply so I can apply now for Fall Entry! Bad news though.. my Chem Class (Chem for the Allied He...

I am going to apply to this program too and if you call them they are very easy to get ahold of and will gladly answer all your questions! I got an appointment to talk to a counselor over the phone next week and they're going to look over my transcri...

I'm planning on applying to this school as well, its my first choice! My boyfriend and I want to end up in San Diego (we're in nor cal now) and this seems like the only school where I could start asap and finish the soonest. I tried to ask about my ...

Okay here is my dilemma.. I am 21 years old and graduated with my BA in Human Development in May 2007. I decided I didnt want any jobs in that field (teaching, social work, etc) so decided nursing sounded like something I would love to do. Right n...
