  1. Chem Fall 2007

    SunnyCaRN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm hoping we can make this a sticky and have a new Chem group for Fall 2007. I'm starting August 23. I'm taking Chem (of course), A&P 1, and Nutrition. Anyone else up for a Chem group? Good Luck...

  2. Should I stay or should i go?

    SunnyCaRN replied to RNmom7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Okay that is a tough one. But I think I would say to stick it out with the job you have. You were blessed to be working with encouraging nurses, at site day-care, a routine that works for you and your...

  3. What I learned this week

    SunnyCaRN replied to itsmejuli's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Stick with it - you will graduate in 2 to 3 years depending on the program and the economy will have changed by then - hopefully for the better! You just got a great reminder why this is worth it!!...

  4. Where do you find ED New Grad Fellowships?

    SunnyCaRN replied to sully75's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would count Cali out but AZ is hiring alot of new grads - a lot of Cali new grads have gone

  5. California laws

    SunnyCaRN replied to Cek4k4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would say your only disadvantage is that you didn't go to school here and don't know anyone to network with. I wish you luck becuase the job market for new grads here is very tough and we are all...

  6. Nurse externship from Palomar pomerado

    SunnyCaRN replied to chilly2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am doing a clinical rotation at PPH right now. As far as I know they are not doing any paid externships again this year. I talked to a new hire and they only hired 9 new grads for both hospital and...

  7. SALARY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!

    SunnyCaRN replied to chaquana's topic in General Nursing

    Alot of hospitals in my area pay by union set wages so check in your area for a nursing union - look on the pay scale and pick the lowest amount because I'm sure that is what we will make. Wage also...

  8. Seeking advice if nursing is the right path!

    SunnyCaRN replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Students

    I think that you should really take some time to decide on what you really want to do. IMHO it sounds like your not really in to nursing. I know some people that work as a waitress to get by through...

  9. I need advice please

    SunnyCaRN replied to worrywart's topic in General Students

    I think you should finish. You do not have to work in a hospital setting once you have your degree and licence. You can go and work at a school and be a school nurse. Not so much stress there and you...

  10. I have relatives that always put me down

    SunnyCaRN replied to LulaNurse's topic in General Students

    I think your right to avoid them. It is no use trying to tell them your position, it is just better that you know how hard you have worked to get where you are. Stay the course and soon you will not...

  11. Bored!!!!

    SunnyCaRN replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I'm bored

  12. New case study

    SunnyCaRN replied to cmonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think this should be posted in nursing students and not

  13. Reading chapters

    SunnyCaRN replied to Aiming4Altruism's topic in General Students

    I think your brother is right. I decided after my first four weeks and exams that is what I'm going to do. I also took the plunge and de-binded my fundamentals book. Now I can take the chapters out...

  14. What is your Favorite Brand and Color for a Stethoscope?

    SunnyCaRN posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm getting a Littmann from Progressivemed.com. If you call for pricing sometimes they give a break. I've ordered several things from

  15. Accelerated BSN student-completely stressed!

    SunnyCaRN replied to avsmch's topic in General Students

    Just remember school is not what nursing as a career will be. You are learning and doing alot of jobs that nurses don't always have time to do and thank goodness for the CNA's and other nursing help...

  16. Did/Does your program use a Point System??

    SunnyCaRN replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    My program used the points system. We did know how points were awarded and we new just our own points. We didn't know how many applied but when we were accepted we were told over 400 for 44 slots....

  17. Am I crazy?? Taking 15 credits??

    SunnyCaRN replied to Buffy31's topic in General Students

    No I think it you can do it. Psyc 101 is pretty easy and it will give you a break up against two sciences. The pre-nursing section always gave me alot of support because they have class specific...

  18. Dropping out of Nursing School - help!

    SunnyCaRN replied to nursetobein2010's topic in General Students

    Since you have a Bachelor's already may-be you can get into an accelerated Bachelor's program. At my school they start in January and because it is self funded there is still open spots. It is more...

  19. Burn Out!!!

    SunnyCaRN replied to ange26s's topic in General Students

    It is okay and normal to have those feelings. Just realize that you are almost done. May-be getting a calendar and marking off the days will help you see that you are almost ready to obtain your goal....

  20. Associate RN vs. Master of Nursing?

    SunnyCaRN replied to DLB6370's topic in General Nursing

    If you are going to want to advance further in the nursing profession then go for the higher education or look into an accelerated BSN program. That's just MHO. You really need to do what you can...

  21. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    SunnyCaRN replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    As far as a backpack I got a rolling one at ebags. It is there brand and they have some decent

  22. Can I be a Nurse with medical problems?

    SunnyCaRN replied to myleena's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the person to ask is your doctor and then yourself. IMHO, I think we can do what ever we put our minds too! Good

  23. what should I do?

    SunnyCaRN replied to hapiyogi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMHO, I think you should finish your BA. The Cal States have an accelerated program which is funded by the people in the program, more expensive but no wait. The community colleges seem to be majority...

  24. does age REALLY matter?

    SunnyCaRN replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    The reality of the situation is you will probably only work about 10 years. If you are planning a family, you are probably going to take time off and move out of the work force for a while. When you...

  25. Best shoes ever?

    SunnyCaRN replied to redraccoon's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I can't wear Dansko's because they are too wide. Crocs are not allowed so I think I'm going to go try on the Nike Shox. This thread has been very
