  1. Is the nursing shortage over in the Bay Area?

    touchhealth replied to PedsRN1975's topic in California Nursing

    I've definately heard the same thing. I'm a pre-nursing student in Marin, and apparently the jobs are real hard to come by. My friend just finished her ADN at College of Marin, and did get a slot at...

  2. I think we need a second degree student section...

    touchhealth replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worry about the same thing. I will have to take out private loans for this second degree, and my credit is pretty aweful. I have heard that getting a private loan is relatively easy if you have a...

    touchhealth replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that accelerated BSN programs are my favorite option for 2nd degree students...one year, and you're out and working. But they're very expensive and only offered by private schools in my area...

    touchhealth replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    touchhealth replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    So I was informed that there are faculty changes going on, but its not clear right now what the future of the program will be. She said she'd have a clearer picture in June. Take

  6. NPs and Integrative Medicine

    touchhealth replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh no! I guess that means I better get into the UCSF program in the the next two years, or consider relocating to New York. ...I was kind of hoping to do a 2nd degree BSN or ADN, and work in the field...

    touchhealth replied to Penny8611's topic in Holistic

    I worked as the staff director at an aternative health clinic, and helped to coordinate clients for a group of ND's, acupuncturists, massage therapists...etc. In California, visiting a Naturopathic...

  8. I think we need a second degree student section...

    touchhealth replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The 2nd degree students all seem to struggle with these similar questions for how to enter the nursing profession. I was the first person in my family to go to college, and my parents had zero advice...

  9. (VERY long!) In a dilemma...need advice! :(

    touchhealth replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a similar story...started at a community college, wasn't ready, no time-management, smart but scared of doing bad so I just procrastinated, tons of W's and an NC and F my first year. BUT I...

    touchhealth replied to Asherah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm reading this book right now! I'm a pre-nursing student and I've found it to be really beneficial to know some of the history/foundations of the nursing profession. I agree that the language is...

  12. NPs and Integrative Medicine

    touchhealth replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi JerseyGirl, I am also interested in Integrative Medicine. UCSF has an ANP program with an emphasis in Integrated Complementary Healing. I'm pretty sure Columbia has a sub-speciality in...

    touchhealth replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi everyone! I'm new to this thread...wow it's looong! ...and very informative. I will be applying to the MEPN program for 2009. I applied to UCSF (my only nursing application) 3 years ago, and...
