I'm a Med-Surg RN in between jobs and I have a question about liability with providing care to neighbors. I live in a very large retirement community in California. My neighbor asked me to assist her after knee surgery. Her daughter and she wanted...

I will be traveling to the new grad fair from out of state and wanted to get some background information regarding the fair. I read some posts from last year's fair that it was a "loooooong" day. Has anyone heard anything more about the event than w...

I need some advice. I have the choice to choose between two new grad opportunities at the same hospital. One is in oncology and the other is in the renal/diabetic unit. I have always imagined myself as working in renal with the goal of eventually ...

Oooops, and its in June 2013 not July (had something else on my mind....)

Yes, it's invite only. I applied to the new grad program and then those chosen to interview are invited to the "open house fair" to interview with the different unit managers.

Hello, I and a fellow classmate have received invitations to attend this year's (2013) new grad fair. Any suggestions on how to prep for it and/or hints for being successful at it? How do we find out what units are hiring? Any input would be helpf...

From the original email sent out did you take it that the references had to be mailed via postal mail from the original source? The last email I received it was mentioned that they were expecting letters to be mailed/emailed/faxed. I don't remember...

Hey guys, So I am an older male nursing student and I just failed a clinical course in pediatrics. Prior to this course I had great grades and very good clinical evaluations. Because this was a semester course and the Peds portion was during the 1st ...

Did that work?

What is your FB profile name?

I would contact ----- and ask her who to talk to and tell them that you are interisted in switching if a position opens up. I would assume that if a position opens up they are just going to go down the list that they already created. I think that Hay...

Definitely come to orientation. Stuff like that happens all the time. They will work it out in time. You don't want to miss all the info they will give you tomorrow!!! KB

Search for CSUEB Concord Nursing Class of 2013 on FB. Did they tell you that orientation is on Friday at 8AM?

Andrew, I just sent you another private message. Biltz

.... After reading your question Andrew I realized I probably didn't answer your question properly in my last post. Defending yourself in such a situation is very, very difficult. As a matter of fact, "being defensive" is one of the major issues the...

I'm really sorry to hear this is happening to you Andrew. There are a variety of avenues you can take depending on what stage you are at in the process. Have you already failed the clinical or are you still taking it? Are you still in the program? S...

Another thing you might want to do over the summer is to take the WST (Writing Skills Test). Everyone has to take the test or the required equivalent course work to graduate. It's a pain in the butt to take during school and if you can take it over...

To be honest I forget how I came about figuring it out but it was a process of elimination I think. First, I'm a graduate of San Diego State so as a graduate of another CSU so I assumed that whatever catalog I graduated under covered me regarding th...

IF you already have a bachelors that puts you in a different catagory with everyone else (at least it did with me and hopefully they haven't changed the rules). All my GE requirements transferred over and the three additional GE classes that you nee...

You should probably still register for the GE courses that you want to take. Usually people took those in the evenings or after theory ended at 4pm T/Th (although I think there were some seminar sections you could sign up for on 4pm on Tues if you w...

I did not get the book bundle. A friend who dropped out of the program donated all his books to me and I barely even opened any of them. Most of all your study material is in the PowerPoints your instructors give you. Your Patho and Pharm books yo...

You don't necessarily have to buy the book bundle. You can get the books used. There are some advantages and disadvantages to either option. All of this will be explained to you at orientation over the summer (about mid July I think). Don't go making...

You're blowing my cover Jen

Private me your email and I'll send you an invite to the group we've set up for Concord and that will give you an idea of how to set up one for Hayward. Once you do that then you can just send ------ an email with a link to the group and ask her to s...
