Am I allowed to work as a hospital aid or cna if I already have an (CA) RN license? It is tough getting an interview for an RN job, so I am thinking applying to be a hospital aid? Or is this pointless because they will feel I will leave them in the long run once I get an RN job. What jobs are you working as right now, while you wait for employment??

Hi everyone! Thank you soo much! It's unbelievable. I got accepted at Southwestern Community College in Chula Vista, CA. It is an ADN program...I was hoping to get into the BSN at SDSU. But none the less!! I am just pure thankful that I was given a chance. ^_^ Thank you everyone! I start orientation on April 27th. Finally...I'm going to be a "somebody" on this planet. I was 21 when I decided I'd be a nurse. 23 when I applied for nursing school. Here I am....25 being accepted. And 26 when I'll begin. It's been too long of a dream and I was going crazy and losing hope at one point. But I made it! and So can ALL of YOU! ^_^ Stay focused..just keep chuggin away on all the pre-reqs! Stay super busy and finish GE's and Pick up a minor while you wait for your acceptance! Finally....I'm so relieved. 2 years of stress....but baby here I come!!

I'm a NURSING STUDENT! I got my letter the other day! Everyone just be patient...I've been waiting forever for this moment. ^_^ I can't believe it. Stay Strong everyone whose waiting or anticipating applying.:yeah:You guys got this!

anyone here waiting for southwestern community colleges ADN program? I heard FEB they going to send the letters of acceptance out! I'm #37 as we of now.

what if I need money NOW? I was wondering what everyone is doing now for money? =/ What is your job now? I'm almost desperate enough to join the coast guard for 4 yrs...I'm happy for those getting into the nursing program...after waiting 2 to 3 or 4 years....but I denno..that seems long. What do you think? Will the waiting lists and competitiveness die down after 4 yrs? or just the same as it is today? I'm not getting any younger, no one is. But I can't be living at home for another 5 yrs. Are you guys using student loans as well? what do you think?
