2. I feel like I'm not going anywhere in Nursing!!!

   jennafezz replied to Kaemi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   i recently graduated from csueb and plenty of people in my cohort had 3.5 GPAs. that's crazy talk. please apply. make up for it with a good TEAS score and you will be fine. it's not as insanely competitive as people like to tell you.

3. new graduate RN...question about holidays

   I didn't orient on holidays because they didn't want to pay holiday pay to an orientee, since I was extra staffing.

4. cheaper alternative to greys anatomy tops

   jennafezz replied to rnbecca's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Scrubology. They sell it at some Sears. They make Grey's and Koi replicas. Not exactly the same but close enough to be worth the price drop.

5. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

   jennafezz replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

   Sacramento has pretty good pay vs. cost of living. Patient ratios are a wonderful thing and I've never not gotten breaks.

6. New RN - asked by former faculty to consider tutoring

   jennafezz replied to TU RN's topic in Educators

   You're just tutoring, all that is normally required of a college tutor is very successful completion of the classes you are tutoring for. You aren't telling them how to be experienced nurses, you're just helping them with their current coursework. Ne...

10. 2 Job Offers! Which One to Choose?!

    jennafezz replied to fherna6's topic in Career Support

    If it's a standard offer letter, yes you can "go back on it" but I wouldn't expect to ever be hired there again. Burned bridge. However, some new grad offers are like contracts where you agree to work for two years or whatever, and some of those can ...

11. Resume critique (new grad, no healthcare experience)

    jennafezz replied to Derringer's topic in Job Hunt

    many of those words don't need to be capitalized. too many for me to list right now but examples are "glucose" and "speaking, reading, writing".

    everyone has a personal preference as to the farthest east in the bay area they'd be comfortable living. brentwood is just farther than my preference. i feel that there's not enough going on there. and the "70 minutes to pleasanton" is extremely real...
