  1. New Grads... Is Anyone Addressing The Issue?

    Ap3x6 replied to Lisa From Maui's topic in General Nursing

    I know for sure at least two got hired. One at Queens and the other at Pali Momi. Edit: from what they tell me they're hired as RN positions but can't get paid the RN wage because their license didn't...

  2. New Grads... Is Anyone Addressing The Issue?

    Ap3x6 replied to Lisa From Maui's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated from KCC this December and a lot of my classmates who took the NCLEX and passed it early already have interviews lined up for RN positions. No clue if they implemented working with...

  3. Kapiolani Community College

    Ap3x6 replied to JOLIEDAME's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on pt load, and what class you're in. Clinicals vary, normally from 0645-1500 two days a week. Homework varies too, I know people who spend 5+ hours and some spend 2, its all a matter of how...

  4. Anyone work f/t while attending KCC nursing program?

    Ap3x6 replied to Elizabeth K.'s topic in General Nursing

    First semester isn't bad at all, despite what a lot of people tell you. It's the next two that will kill you if you try and work full time, although I know a couple people who did it. After that, it...

  5. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    They have some online thing at UH Hilo I was looking into, only takes about a year. And yeah, the Medsurg2 classes were by far the hardest. Donna is a hard lecturer, but her clinicals are awesome....

  6. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, you were smart. You got in before the huge influx of new nursing students. Did you ever go back and get your BSN? I'm contemplating on doing it, but I figure the more time I wait, the harder...

  7. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    The CPR/firstaid thing is easy to get done. You got the checklist of certified cpr teachers? Call Ken Bambico or something. He comes to your house and does 1:1 training, it's pretty quick too. The...

  8. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    KCC set a due date for all the paperwork for people who got accecpted AND alternates(if you are indeed an alternate, they should have sent you a letter with a specific date, if not it would be your...

  9. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    I believe KCC alt lists around 10, no more than 15. If you're worried about being alt listed, don't be. Your chances are still good. I think our class accecpted 8/10 of the

  10. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck to you all. Hopefully I'll see you newbies next semester =]. I was fortunate to not know the exact date so when my letter came it was a big surprise. I don't know what I would have done if I...

  11. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry I haven't responded in a while, clinicals and studying for tests have been hectic. I lost the number but I'll go and ask around on Monday, I'm sure someone still has it. As far as the LCC thing...

  12. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure there were 2 meetings. One was in.. November I believe. Only reason I know this was because I just had to go and get retested for TB a couple weeks ago since they were going to expire...

  13. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I honestly wonder how so many alternates got in. I mean, I was taking pre-req's with a couple people who got in and no one I know got accecpted and decided not to go into the program. I was like...

  14. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, there are clinicals every semester. First semester is normally LTC/medsurg, second is medsurg, third is OB/peds/psych and the final semester is medsurg again. The only thing that changes between...

  15. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    Oh the dreaded bed bath. Haha, yeah, we had to do that. You don't get fully naked or anything, you're wearing a swimsuit or something you don't mind getting wet. You get REALLY close with your first...

  16. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I was in the same boat. They told me I shouldn't retake classes too, but I decided to anyways. Come to find out half way through the semester I did get accecpted and it was all for nothing, but...

  17. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    I'm about halfway through, just starting my OB/peds clinicals now. Yeah, the program is pretty study intensive, but that's the way it should be. Everyone has their own opinions about students from...

  18. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it really depends on the quality of people applying. I'd say you have a fighting chance at getting in though. You applied with all your pre-req's and co-req's done? When I applied I had...

  19. first foundations test...

    Ap3x6 replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Students

    The first test is always a feeling out process for me. You don't know how nursing tests are so you don't know what to expect. I was the same way when I first started school, it seemed like everyone...

  20. Why so competitive?

    Ap3x6 replied to LittleTraumaQueen's topic in General Students

    It's funny you mention this.. I have noticed the few people who aren't willing to help others do get "exiled" and have to sit in the grave they dug. Honestly, I don't get why people do this. In the...

  21. ADN People - what was your hardest semester?

    Ap3x6 replied to NursingGeek's topic in General Students

    For me it was the second/third semester classes that are the hardest. From all the people I have talked to they agree that our med surg-2 classes were by far the worst (granted, I'm still only in my...

  22. Why so competitive?

    Ap3x6 replied to LittleTraumaQueen's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you're extremely unlucky. I'm in my third semester in nursing school and I have had the complete opposite experience. With the exception of a few people most people are more than...

  23. KCC Grad/Current Students

    Ap3x6 replied to augiebear's topic in General Nursing

    I think we have one PM group at Kaiser in our class. I think they're there from 1500-2300 or

  24. KCC Grad/Current Students

    Ap3x6 replied to augiebear's topic in General Nursing

    Every program has its advantages and disadvantages. My main reason for going to KCC was because it was cheaper than UH, and a LOT cheaper than HPU. I think we pay around 1100 a semester, and total,...

  25. Any one in the KCC ADN program

    Ap3x6 replied to happyjab's topic in General Nursing

    Have you talked to Wes about your scores? He was really helpful in breaking everything down for me. As far as your NLN score goes, I really think you need to get that up. You can take the test once...
