good luck to you ladies in nursing school.

You guys don't wait on a waiting list. I personally am a graduate of Grossmont college, and while its a wonderful nursing school there are other ways to reach your goals. I work alongside 'National' nurses as well as Meric nurses and 'concorde' nurse...

But you can't take Texas out of the Girl. so here's my situation. I'm a native Taxan living for the last 11 years in California. I recently finished nursing school and am dying to go back home. So, does anyone know what starting pay for a new grad i...

you have just as much a chance at passing at 75 or 265. i stopped at 75 my bff at 100, someone else n our class at 150, 125, 200, 265...we all passed, you're going to worry until you find out...so go to the movies, a spa, disneyland...you can't do an...

nothing says you can't do written report. In fact it seems it would be safer than a verbal/taped report. It does say that there must be allowance for oncoming nurse to ask questions.

I couldn't agree with everyone more. I also think if and when he does this again take your stand. Remind him/her that you are a person and that if he continues to make you feel uncomfortable and/or threated you will have to take some form of legal ac...

Lots of hospitals use this system. its really not as bad as it sounds (as long as everyone follows the rules). You will grow to love it b/c you don't have to wait around to get report from 4 different nurses. You will also come to love starting on t...

Kaiser's needs are always changing. Its best to call the recruiter, find out what new grad positions are available and then apply to the one you want. In our area we never had any "new grad" postings online so I called. BTW, now that i've been there...

i work 2 12hr shifts per week and my checks are $1550.

Hi, I work for kaiser in san diego. At first I was a bit embarassed to say I am a kaiser nurse. Just based on their reputation here in the community I didn't want to be there. But after working there for the last six months, the place has really grow...

Okay so I've done the math. Several have said that starting pay in SA for nurses is about $22/hour. Mind you I live in California so that seems really low, but I know that the cost of living is lower is SA than in San Diego. Well at $22/hour thats ab...

just wanted to see how others are feeling right now, probrably the same as me. i didn't want to be this stressed out freak, but alas, i'm coming to terms with the fact that i am this person. 'my plan' to go to disneyland right after the test didn't w...

I agree with those who say no one program is a fit for everyone. I did the Kaplan online. I watched all the content videos and some of the question videos. I don't particularly care for the rationals kaplan gives. Saunders has great rationals and the...

usf, I found out yesterday that I passed as well. the BON started updating at 2:30am and at 5:30am my husband looked up my name and there it was!!!!! rockenmomRN

i got hired on for 2shifts/week at kaiser in san diego

rosin83, SATAs are just a type of question. so don't freak about those. That being said, I took mine on Tuesday and only had 75 questions. I passed. I learned that everyone essentially gets 50% right and 50%wrong. that would mean that yes you probra...

I PASSED, I PASSED, I PASSED, I PASSED, I PASSED, I PASSED, I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you husband and kids who sacrificed living in a tiny apartment while I went to nursing school. Thank you my little boys who let me ignore you for all tho...

Thanks you guys, we had a blast at disneyland today!!!!!! we even were given one of the 'year of a millon dreams' prizes. It was great!!! I feel like I've been walking on a cloud all day. I kept checking the BON website to makes sure my name was stil...

:monkeydance:Let me be the first to congratulate you!!!! I just found out as well that i passed at 75. you're so right, SATAs, just keep moving dont get stuck on those, I had OVER 15!!!!! rockenmomRN

san diego zion: ADN, MED-SURG floor: 30.69 w/out benefits: 36.84 if you opt to not take the benefts that means: no paid vacation, nomedical/dental, no holiday pay and a few other things. these are start rates. we've opted to not take the benefits, mo...

Cupcake, are you in san diego? If you are let me know I just took my boards, if i passed i will give you everything...i do mean everything. i just graduated from grossmont

Silverdragon is right, those are only a type of questions just like the 'new format' questions. I got well over 15 SATAs. I didn't however get any OB or med calculations. But I sure got a ton of medication questions. I know suzanne has said that med ...

If the computer shuts off at 75 and you fail, is that really fair? I know how the exam works, i know about the answer one right and the next gets harder...my question is this: is it fair to fail at 75 when some people have the opportunity to pass at ...

from what i understand (we went through this), there are two types of accreditation. one is from your state board of nursing the other is from the NLN. midway through school a bunch of our instructors walked out in search of much 'greener' pastures. ...
