  1. Spanish immersion program recommendations

    Hey there, who did u end up going with.....city, price, clinical, etc. thx
  2. Med Surg, Help desperately needed!!!!

    Not sure if you exams are NCLEX-based, but NCLEX books saved me thru MED Surg! Did you decide whether you wanted to be a nurse or not? I started freaking out 3 weeks before graduation and I'm sure it was just anxiety, but nursing is not something y...
  3. No JOB- Spare time=LOSE WEIGHT!

    If anyone is familiar with Dr. Ian Smith's Fat Smash, I did it for 10 days and lost 11 pounds. It stayed off for awhile, but alas..... Gonna do it again as a detox. Google it. It's basically all fruit and veggies and some brown rice.
  4. Nursing Recruiters and Portfolios

    I can't recall but I did a google type search or craigslist or something. I'm in the Bay Area. Where do they charge to volunteer? I should be clear...I am NOT doing patient care as such, but I file records which I am free to scan and learn from, ...
  5. Nursing Recruiters and Portfolios

    pay to volunteer? I don't think so. I found my position online on some volunteer website. I think they were so happy to get me. I volunteer 1 day/week so that I can still job search and volunteer elsewhere. On Friday, I "bumped" into a Nurse Manager ...
  6. Gossiping amongst nurses

    It's a strange concept because how is a new nurse supposed to try and fit in or be liked other than follow the status quo? It's tricky because it could end up biting you on the backside. Think back to nursing school. There were the quiet, studious ty...
  7. Doctor's Fiancee yelled at me

    I think some are being a bit hard on the OP. I'm sure her feelings were hurt, she felt embarrassed and slighted by the fact that this person was her own age. Hopefully she has read these posts and has learned that not everyone will welcome your gos...
  8. California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?

    Hate to say it, but it's really a networking game around here in NoCal. The only responses I have received have been "through the grapevine". I feel like all this emailing nonsense is such a waste of time. Funny story. I started volunteering 1 da...
  9. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    worked for me too. first i saw a message about being on "hold". then i got a message 2 days later that i had "recently scheduled" a test. I took the test on tuesday and by friday 9pm, there was still no name. I went to bed mad thinking I would ha...
  10. Anyone else get cut off before 100?

    I feel the same way. I want to vomit. I feel so sad...not because I don't think I can do it, but because I simply do not want to go thru it again. My boyfriend is a Social Worker and their licensing tells them immediately. It's not like it's hard...
  11. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    i took that horrible thing today, tried to re-register and it said something about scores being on HOLD. I haven't seen anyone else say that and I've read the whole thread. I'm in CA for RN. Is this what they meant. Also, will it appear online BO...
  12. Samuel Merritt ABSN worth it or not?

    Don't forget the 10% interest rate to boot--other loans are more like 8%. Now I'm glad I didn't bother applying. My friend said the SF campus had the same problem. No Kaiser jobs for the Kaiser Scholars. What a joke.
  13. Strangest thing you've heard a co-worker or patient say?

    Think I'm gonna be ill....lol
  14. Apply to CA jails before boards?

    whatever happened? Did you get the job? I'm in the same boat. Any hints?
  15. Strangest thing you've heard a co-worker or patient say?

    Please tell me that was a patient and NOT staff (re: rabbit remark)! I, too am speechless regarding the elderly fornicators.
  16. Psyc nurse to Med/Surg....How?!

    May I ask details...school, hospital. I would love to have had someone pay...maybe grad school? I agree with the need to diversify, but don't have any experience to help you with other than what folks told me. There will always be a need for M/S n...
  17. Anyone know of a Stats class that is completely online?

    Are you from the Bay area? I took Stats over 11 days during the wintersession at the College of Alameda.
  18. Is $47,000 too much for an ABSN???

    I'm in the same boat, but do hospitals really offer $10,000/yr? Is it renewable? I'm worried myself. Is SMC really worth it? Or should I wait 6mths to one year?
  19. Need opinions on what I should do!

    Wow, you sound like me with the "what-ifs". I say stepping out of your comfort zone sounds like exactly what you need right now. Who knows, you might actually like the move, but it couldn't possibly be any less fulfilling than your current situatio...
  20. 100% dosage calculations?

    Does anyone know of a good website that lists the conversions...1 pt equals x oz, 8 fluid drams equals x fl oz and that sort of thing? I have a book, but it doesn't list them...strange! I wanna write them on notecards and tape them to my bathroom mi...
  21. CNA courses in No. California (East Bay Area)

    did you ever find a cheap cna course in the east bay?
  22. What do you do in clinicals?

  23. MD to RN program

    Don't mess with Suzanne4. This lady knows her stuff!!!! ; x
  24. ASN vs BSN

    Song in my heart... where did you do the direct entry for 12k and what are the competitive schools (GPA that is) versus lottery in our area? I've already applied to Sutter, but where else? The thought of a lottery this time around is sending me ove...
  25. Federal Prison

    I'd like a stipend such as that one. May I ask where you went to school? Is prison life everything you dreamed it would be?
