  5. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

    stripec30 replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are a few threads about this topic floating around. Lets remember that this is nothing new. Hospitals would do this all the time with new nurses--require unpaid 'internships'. At the end of the...

  6. Working at a nursing home a bad idea?

    stripec30 replied to PA_CoffeeFreak's topic in First Year After Licensure

    stripec30 replied to rebean's topic in California Nursing

  11. MEPN or BSN -->MSN?

    stripec30 replied to KTglider's topic in General Students

    Just food for thought -- 1) Some states don't accept a direct-entry MSN for licensure (e.g., Nevada). 2) Check California's website to see if your program of choice satisfies the license pre-req...

    stripec30 replied to lovelylady42's topic in General Students

  15. how much do teachers influence success in nursing school?

    stripec30 replied to lovelylady42's topic in General Students

    stripec30 replied to kadell's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Assuming you're not working in an ER with it's own pediatric department the Cardiology III will probably give you the most versatility. I've found that the cardiology III picks up a higher frequency...

  21. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    stripec30 replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    What helped me was checking out the 'nursing tips' threads. Totally helped me prepare for class and clinicals. Being 'well rounded' often substitutes for a 4.0. Remember 10% of the job is completing...

  23. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    stripec30 replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    Personally, I enjoy competition -- against myself and my classmates. I bump between 1st and 2nd in the class. Currently a 3.8 GPA. It keeps us 'top performers' on track and gets us ready to compete...
