  1. Looking for a good bridge program in San Diego

    sooperdooper replied to ngrshm's topic in California Nursing

    Grossmont is a community college in San Diego, somewhat east of the center of San Diego. From what I have heard, all community colleges in San Diego have 2-3+ year wait

  2. My school does not offer externships

    sooperdooper posted a topic in General Students

    I start the my nursing program in Jan '09 and just found out that my school does not offer any type of externship. How do I get one now? Has anyone ever been in this boat

  3. Confused about majors

    sooperdooper replied to mynameisamyw's topic in General Nursing

    You are very wrong! Most med schools require: 1 year of General Biology + Labs 1 year of Inorganic Chemistry + Labs 1 year of Organic Chemistry + Labs 1 year of Physics + Labs 1 year of Calculus Are...

  4. Confused about majors

    sooperdooper replied to mynameisamyw's topic in General Nursing

    Not once did I say you could not be accepted because of a different major. Seriously are you reading what I am saying? If you choose any non-premed major, you will have to take courses outside of the...

  5. Confused about majors

    sooperdooper replied to mynameisamyw's topic in General Nursing

    The term pre-med is used loosely, I believe you are missing sight here of the real point. Yes, these majors are not defined as pre-medical majors, they are however loosely part of a collective of...

  6. My school does not offer externships

    sooperdooper replied to sooperdooper's topic in General Students

    The other reason I want to do an externship is because they get paid roughly $18-20/hr, have very flexible schedules, and can work as many days as they want as long as they work one day per

  7. My school does not offer externships

    sooperdooper replied to sooperdooper's topic in General Students

    This was taken from a job post at a hospital here: "Nursing school must have contractual relationship with Scripps Memorial, La Jolla." Thats what I am talking about......

    sooperdooper replied to curlysin's topic in California Nursing

  9. San Diego: City College, Grossmont, National University

    sooperdooper replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    School: National University Since the time I applied to NU, they have changed around their admission requirements. Before you were allowed to apply once a year and they would not tell you why you were...

  10. Confused about majors

    sooperdooper replied to mynameisamyw's topic in General Nursing

    Really there isn't? I think you need to tell UCSD this. http://be-webapps.ucsd.edu/ug/programs/majors/premedical/ I am not trying to be an @$$, but I think you need to be sure of what you are saying...

  11. My school does not offer externships

    sooperdooper replied to sooperdooper's topic in General Students

    No its not, but some hospitals prefer to hire you if you have externship experience or if you did an externship with them, which is the case with a hospital near me (i want to work

  12. My school does not offer externships

    sooperdooper replied to sooperdooper's topic in General Students

    I am not confusing the too, at least in California it is that way. I know what clinicals are :) According to a couple friends in classes now at my school and my friend who is an ICU manager at the...

  13. Nursing School at Night?

    sooperdooper replied to revolution's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to mention that although many schools offer theory classes at night, clinicals are usually a whole different story. At my school, we take clinicals whenever they are

    sooperdooper replied to mynameisamyw's topic in General Nursing

    Any degree that satisfies BCPM requirements as part of the degree is considered a pre-med degree. Obviously, you do not have to go into

  15. My school does not offer externships

    sooperdooper replied to sooperdooper's topic in General Students

    I know schools dont offer externships themselves, but they must have an agreement with hospitals because the school is responsible. My school does not have an agreement with any

  16. Accepted - but now I have cold feet!

    sooperdooper replied to newlife09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your not crazy. It's natural to feel overwhelmed by new challenges in your life! The good thing is that you have probably experienced quite a few things in your life that may have been nerve-racking,...

  17. Confused about majors

    sooperdooper replied to mynameisamyw's topic in General Nursing

    I often contemplate going that route (MD/DO), so I will be taking the additional classes just in case I ever do want to go that route. Your major really doesnt matter as far as Med school goes....

  18. Nursing School at Night?

    sooperdooper replied to revolution's topic in General Nursing

    National University in San Diego offers night cohorts, however, must people do not generally pick (although you can request). From my understanding, every quarter each cohort alternates between night...

  19. I am tired

    sooperdooper replied to niali's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im not sure how long your class was, but mine was a bit accelerated and was 2 months long including the lab. Our tests generally covered 3-4, sometimes 5 chapters, every 1.5 weeks on average. To...

  20. Maric College or Wait!

    sooperdooper replied to hopefulnurse5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I first looked into the schools for fast entry in San Diego, I turned to Maric. They give you an IQ test to see where they can place you I believe. They had just rolled out a new test, I took it...

  21. National University Starting in San Diego-April

    sooperdooper replied to surromom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People I know have been accepted with 3.4+, but thats not a written rule, so good luck! I submitted my application to NU in San Diego in Jan. '08; I received my acceptance letter in March '08. My...

  22. Pre req's- grossmont vs national university-san diego

    sooperdooper replied to chargersbaby's topic in General Nursing

    Straight answer regarding the nursing program? I know that the regular academic advisors dont know anything other than the pre-reqs, they have no clue what goes on with the nursing dept. Also...

  24. Jobs in Southern California???

    sooperdooper replied to bellydancer59's topic in California Nursing

    The problem is that nursing education has advanced by so much in the last 15 years. Usually nurses go through "re-education" to keep up to date, but if you dont work, you wont stay updated, thus...
