  1. Nursing student terrified about move to the Bay area

    jesa replied to nfrasure's topic in California Nursing

    as everyone else said, apply as much as possible, most bay area hospitals have 1 or 2 new grad programs per year, and it is very rare that they hire outside of that, so apply before you graduate with...

    jesa posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  3. California nursing programs

    jesa replied to srleslie's topic in California Nursing

    I would suggest moving out to California and taking some courses to raise your GPA. I don't know of any schools in the area that you will get in with that GPA, unless you look into some community...

  4. ADN or accelerated BSN - specific circumstances, need advice

    jesa replied to rello's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not sure which poster you were asking this to, but if it's me, I'm going to San Jose State University, unfortunately I am the last of 3 groups of students given a grant to do an 18-month...

  5. ADN or accelerated BSN - specific circumstances, need advice

    jesa replied to rello's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    agree with the last poster - how long is the wait list for both? also, are you thinking of ever getting an advanced degree? a couple years ago I decided to totally change my path and started looking...

  6. Best and Safest site for IM injection? why?

    jesa replied to tobelpn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    all the information we have in our books points to the ventrogluteal site as the best site due to the fact that it is furthest from major nerves and blood vessels, problem is it's not always...

  7. San Jose State University

    jesa replied to pyunnyhana's topic in California Nursing

    I am currently going through the nursing program at SJSU and believe it to be a fantastic program. I know they did have a dip in the passing of the NCLEX and now require students to use ATI as we go...

  8. Looking for a great workout!

    jesa replied to mcknis's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Bikram Yoga. hands down. my favorite thing to do, burns fantastic calories, builds muscle, and provides relaxation and stress management. other "hot yoga" classes do the same, but most people know...

  9. what accelerated BSN programs accept online prereqs???

    jesa replied to firstyearRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jesa replied to vicky3269's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    here's my tip for taking organic chem -- there is an 8 weekend intensive study program through Patten University, they do it in a couple different locations so you may be able to do it right by where...

  12. DID NOT GET IN! Completely devastated...

    jesa replied to vicky3269's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    so sorry you didn't get in, but DO try for SJSU where they put people in on GPA, esp since it sounds like you would get in easily with that. I know it's not right near you, but at least you won't be...

  13. I looked on the college website

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

    I hear ya, we start on May 29th (sounds like that's when you start, too?) and I can't wait. we have orientation that day and I think we only have like 2 classes where we have a choice for time, so I...

  14. Acceptance Letter

    jesa replied to ange26s's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    my school is great in that they sent us an email 'cause they knew we were all waiting. that's for the accelerated program, don't think they do that for the regular one though. and I got my email...

  15. Chances of becoming a nurse...

    jesa replied to yoyoming1001's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    you need to find out what schools in your area use for criteria as far as accepting students. and you need to decide if you are willing to re-locate for school. I am in California and just applied to...

    jesa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. sigh...applying

    jesa replied to jesa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    thanks everyone for your replies, I know I'm not alone! just out of curiosity, if CC are harder to get into why do people choose them? I know I am not applying to any because of the lottery system,...

  19. I had to take care of druggies today, and was disgusted!

    jesa replied to RN 4 U's topic in Virginia Nursing

    if that was offensive to you it wasn't meant to be. personally, I am thankful not to be plagued with diseases I don't

  20. I had to take care of druggies today, and was disgusted!

    jesa replied to RN 4 U's topic in Virginia Nursing

    have to chime in here again. personally, I am a recovering alcoholic/addict. I have almost 6 years sober. I think what people don't understand is the nature of this disease. no other disease tells the...

  25. I'm working on a nursing research paper (APA) and I want to inject a personal story

    jesa replied to Mesomorph's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    it would work fine, but like you said, you have to cite it correctly, google for an APA style site, or use the APA manual, I don't have mine right here, but if I remember correctly you simply need to...
