    cobee replied to cobee's topic in Correctional

    At Coalinga? I'm in the exact same situation, same interview day. When did they call your references? Good luck to both of us

  5. Etiquette question for Filipino nurses--use of Tagalog terms of address?

    cobee replied to ro'smom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You could ask them directly what they prefer. Usually Ate and Kuya are used to convey respect to an older colleague and usually only if the two people are

  6. Only hospital jobs?

    cobee replied to db2xs's topic in California Nursing

    It can be done. I graduated in May and I work in outpatient mental health. It took me almost four months after licensure to be hired. Out of my class of 70ish, I only know of a handful of people that...

  7. Psych RN job right after BSN graduation

    cobee replied to priorities2's topic in Psychiatric

    It's definitely possible. I've had my first job now for a few months and it is at an outpatient psych support program. I started out as registry but they really liked me so they bought out my contract...

  8. $23/hr office nursing

    cobee replied to aphillipi's topic in California Nursing

    I applied to an adult day care health center and the pay was $23/hr for new grads. I'm currently working registry and I get paid $25/hr split because I'm a new grad and its a psych clinic. I'm happy...

  9. CA correctional/DMH RN application

    cobee posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hi, has anyone applied to or works at a state facility? I'd like to apply, but the website is really confusing. Do I have to get eligibility somewhere through a test? Or do I just mail in the paper...

  10. CA correctional/DMH RN application

    cobee replied to cobee's topic in California Nursing

    I applied on the website too, for CDCR, and only got a 75 because I'm an ADN. I'm thinking that there are probably thousands of people who are on that eligibility list so I'm not really focusing on...

  11. Sacramento City College New Selection Criteria

    cobee replied to kcsmira's topic in California Nursing

    I know its a little off topic, but I encourage you guys to apply at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, its a great program, not lottery, and take around 70 students each semester so your chance of...

  12. What are your future nursing plans??

    cobee replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    I spent a day in the OR and a few in NICU and I loved them both. ER was interesting and definitely very hands-on but soooo busy! Ultimately I would like to work in corrections at one of the facilities...

  13. How Impacted are the programs in the Sacramento area?

    cobee replied to Ziglar1's topic in California Nursing

    I live in Elk Grove and go to school at Delta College in Stockton. I applied there once and they admit by grades and got in immediately. I also applied to ARC and SCC twice and didn't get in. The...

  14. San Joaquin Delta College ADN 2011 Fall

    cobee replied to yhalseth's topic in California Nursing

    The uniforms are $45 for each top and I think $28 for bottoms. I got two of each. I think shipping is $17. I think that the units are $36 now starting in the

  15. San Joaquin Delta College ADN 2011 Fall

    cobee replied to yhalseth's topic in California Nursing

    You don't need to wear the uniform for the Eng 33 class or to lecture. You spend the first three weeks on campus to learn skills and you do need to wear your uniform for those "clinical on campus"...

  16. San Joaquin Delta College ADN 2011 Fall

    cobee replied to yhalseth's topic in California Nursing

    Actually you'll be using those books the whole two years. There are only two more textbooks you'll need for Maternity (second semesrer) and Psych (third semester), but those don't cost over $100

  17. Typical Cost for RN-BSN programs?

    cobee replied to mcknis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm looking into the online RN to BSN program at Fort Hays State and it seems like the tuition for whole program is around

  18. Dove uniforms? there must be a cheaper way!

    cobee replied to GamerGirL337's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Has your school been using Dove for a while? You can ask if they have donated uniforms from former students. I bought two sets of uniforms (the jacket wasn't required), but I've worn a different brand...

  19. How much did your nursing education cost you? Worth it?

    cobee replied to resilientnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I got Pell Grants while taking pre-reqs by applying through FAFSA and CA has the Board of Governor's fee waiver which takes care of

  20. How much did your nursing education cost you? Worth it?

    cobee replied to resilientnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Halfway through an ADN program, but with tuition waivers I haven't spent a dime on tuition ever. Books and supplies at the beginning of the program were around $800 and included books for all 4...

  21. How many use a car for class/clinicals?

    cobee replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Used Public transportation throughout my pre-reqs because I was terrified of driving but the nursing school I was admitted into is almost an hour away so I had to rush to get a car and learn to drive....

  22. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    cobee replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    I'm glad this thread was started as well. I'm surprised at the range of responses and it really shows how different we all are in regards to learned skills after graduating from school. In my first...

  23. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    cobee replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    By minor procedures I mean putting in foleys and startig IV's. Lol

  24. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    cobee replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure about the legalities, but in my clinical groups and I'm sure many others, the instructor and nurse can't always be with everyone at once. From my experience, once my nurse or instructor...

  25. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    cobee replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is pretty unfair of you to say and doesn't really help the OP's situation or her understanding of her errors. Whether she qualifies for unemployment or not, applying for it does not make...
