  1. I can't take the suspence!

    chickapea posted a topic in California Nursing

    I am having the hardest time this semester waiting to hear back from all of my applications!! For some reason this semester is harder for me than the other 3. I thought that I would get more use to...

  2. I can't take the suspence!

    chickapea replied to chickapea's topic in California Nursing

    Wow, talk about being careful what you wish for... I got my first letter back today, from the Sutter program, a couple of hours after I posted this thread and I did not get in . Oh well, I am waiting...

  3. "oh. . .You're going to a COMMUNITY college?"

    chickapea replied to Toodee's topic in California Nursing

    I am a firm believer, in any occupation, that it's not the school, the grades or the degree that makes a person great, but the dedication and determination. Good luck to

  4. evening program at sac city college???

    chickapea replied to fireshifter's topic in California Nursing

    I don't believe that there is a part time program at Sierra anymore... I've been applying there for 2 years now and have never heard of one. Every other semester Sierra offers part of the program...

    chickapea replied to gregmotz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey! Don't give up hope... I'm sure you'll find something soon. I feel like you because I've been a stay at home mom for 6 years and this seems to be affecting my job search. Honestly, I think it's...

  7. Sutter extended campus

    chickapea replied to chickapea's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks 78RN2B for your input. Yikes! I'm scared... I still hope I get in though. Like you, I feel like I have to take anything that I can get. I'm sorry, you sound like you are having a hard time....

  8. Anyone else apply to Sutter Extended Campus in Sacramento?

    chickapea replied to FAworld's topic in California Nursing

    I turned mine in the Friday before the deadline too. 150 is way better than 500 at Sierra and 700 at AR and Sac City. Maybe we have a good shot! Good luck to

  9. Sutter extended campus

    chickapea replied to chickapea's topic in California Nursing

    I never knew about Delta College. It's quite a drive, however I love the 11 month LVN option! I'll look into it. I'll need to get extra sets of my transcripts rushed to me... hmm I'll see if that...

  10. Sutter extended campus

    chickapea replied to chickapea's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks again RNbound83 for all your insight! I've applied to AR, Sierra RN and LVN before they cancelled it, Sac City full and part time (I think they've cancelled that now too now), and Sutter. I...

  12. Student blatently sexually harrassed me...

    chickapea replied to Thedreamer's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That's lame that your instructor just laughed. I'd go above her. You need to be comfortable at school in order to do well. No one deserves to be harassed like this. The instructors should be advocates...

  13. How much BP practice did you get in the program?

    chickapea replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We practiced blood pressures on each other a lot. We also had our clinicals in LTC and did manual BPs all the time on patients. I love having my own BP kit and use it quite often. In acute care, it...

    chickapea replied to chickapea's topic in California Nursing

  15. What did you NOT learn that you needed

    chickapea replied to imafostermom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow, at least 40 hours of clinical... we need way more than double that here in CA to be a C.N.A.! How many clinical hours do you need now? I'm with you on banning the 3 day class... I've never even...

  16. Sutter extended campus

    chickapea replied to chickapea's topic in California Nursing

    Anyone!? Really, I'm finding it odd that I've never come across anyone that is in this program. Is it top-secret?? :chuckle Is anyone's sister's boyfriend's cousin's friend in the program?...

  17. Is Chem really a necessary prereq for Anatomy?

    chickapea replied to wannabmidwife's topic in General Students

    I would have loved to start my program 3 years ago too... that would have been outstanding for me. However, just like everyone else, I had to do the pre-reqs... and now I have been waiting 4 semesters...

  18. Is Chem really a necessary prereq for Anatomy?

    chickapea replied to wannabmidwife's topic in General Students

    I would not take two science classes with labs at the same time!! I did not take chemistry before anatomy because it was not a pre-req for anatomy where I went to school. I had no problem, and got...

  19. How did you start after CNA class?

    chickapea replied to CherryBlonde's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow, E-Med, you have led quite the life for a 20 year old. I think you will have no problem with the C.N.A. class. The test was much easier for me than the NREMT. I'm sure you'll do great and it will...
