    The only CPR they accept is the AHA (American Heart Association), so make sure that's where you take it or you'll end up retaking it. The Red Cross one will not be

  7. Live Scan question

    hatingthewaiting replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    The bulk of it I believe is for the CA Dept of Justice, so that could explain the cost difference. Looks like I'm probably gonna be stuck paying multiple times

    Do you mind if I ask where you got a job in the bay area and the pay? I will be graduating in June and want to know where is still hiring up here and what kind of pay to expect. Thanks

  10. Am I paranoid; or do all my clinical instructors dislike me?

    hatingthewaiting replied to cincin1's topic in General Nursing

    Try not to think that way, most likely you're being oversensitive. If you convince yourself that he/she dislikes you, you may act/react in a way that might actually elicit such a response, making it a...

    hatingthewaiting replied to EM-RN's topic in California Nursing

    I think when it really comes down to it, you get out what you put into nursing school. If you study hard, make the most of your clinical experiences, ask lots of questions, and review a lot of NCLEX...

  12. Anyone Applying to Samuel Merritt ABSN April, May, June 2009?

    hatingthewaiting replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to get 70% to pass your classes. If you don't pass a class, you cannot continue and must wait until its offered again, which may be at a different location, so I'm not sure how that'd be...

  15. Samuel Merritt ABSN - San Mateo June 09

    hatingthewaiting replied to EM-RN's topic in California Nursing

    I actually ended up taking pharm simultaneously with my first classes because I started early and they wanted to fill the class. Since I took it right before going into the hospital, a lot of it stuck...

  16. A pre nurse student, help? Advice? Anything

    hatingthewaiting replied to Nursingismycalling's topic in General Nursing

    One option is to continue your education while you wait to get into an RN program (if there is a wait) There are schools out here where the wait is so long for a community college, that it would take...

    hatingthewaiting replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    In the class description is states, "No previous Spanish required". Since I know virtually no Spanish, I thought it could be helpful. Do you know if any of your classmates found that class

    hatingthewaiting replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Current San Mateo ABSN student here. Yes, they do take you if your last 90/60 units are good. I had around a 3.6 for my last 60 units of college, but my cum was more like a 2.3. Also, my preq GPA was...
