    PedsRN1975 replied to bgoodman's topic in California Nursing

    PedsRN1975 replied to SwimRN10's topic in California Nursing

  4. What are the chances of me getting this job?

    PedsRN1975 replied to CookieCrisp's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have a great chance, considering the fact that you will be a nurse soon and hopefully work at the same hospital. Hospitals love hiring CNA's that are on the path to RN because they can...

    PedsRN1975 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    PedsRN1975 replied to igorotsp's topic in California Nursing

    PedsRN1975 replied to youknowho's topic in California Nursing

    Just a little tip. The school will make you buy NCLEX review books that you will use throughout the course. They are quite expensive. On top of that the only book I would consider buying is Saunders...

  10. SFSU

    PedsRN1975 replied to youknowho's topic in California Nursing

    You have to go at the pace of the program, you can't take your time and take a class here, a class there. The program is 5 semester long. My hardest class I would have to say was community health. We...

  11. SFSU

    PedsRN1975 replied to youknowho's topic in California Nursing

  15. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    PedsRN1975 replied to wonderwomanchels's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What really gets me is even when they do post a job and you have some hope you might get something, you have to jump through so many hoops and interviews. Sometimes I feel it would be easier to become...

    PedsRN1975 replied to kpg19's topic in California Nursing

    PedsRN1975 replied to PedsRN1975's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hope not. I just want to get that license and move on and be able to apply for jobs. Also, although I've got the good pop-up with the PVT I am not 100% relieved until I see my name at the BRN with a...
