wow this is amazing Im not an experienced L and D nurse , been a nurse for 15 years and never heard that NA's can do this .... Can you work at a different facility , thats scary !!!!!!!! I do remember RN's doing it but wow scary !!!!>

hi ! with all those classes out there its hard to decipher , me too.... Online we are always going to pay more but its the convenience of no clinicals and we can work on it anytime ... I am going with South university there is no one perfect university but its great to get everybodys output... Im scared to begin this venture, 2 kids at home still young and a cat and sports and jobs, let me know what you think:D

I live right there, Kings bay is ok , not sure of the medical facilities I know they are hiring a PA right now at the non stressful clinic. its a great place to raise kids and the gym on base is very nice, hope this helps at all

wow this has just totally scared me out of it :) not really but I do realize that having 3 kids (2 that are 6 and 7) who are my life and a grand daughter on the way in July makes me very nervous but I also have to plan for retirement and feel this is a good way to have some extra income. My husband is a retired Marine.... thanks for all the info ! this is great info

wow ! A Fallbrook high grad :) well Im from class of 1985 eeks... good luck !!!

:wink2:Hi ! congrats !! Im new and trying to get into the army nurse corps reserves... I LOVE CAMP PENDLETON!!!! 2 of my kids were born there and my husband retired there from the Marine Corps... I Love the area I was raised 8 minutes from there, certain areas in Oceanside I wouldnt live but overall its a great area near the ocean :) good luck !

so did you ever take the job in Fallbrook , just curious... They are hiring a l and d I saw for a 10000 sign on bonus... good luck in your career...

Fallbrook is a great place to live in :) I grew up there in Bonsall and went to fallbrook high. I used to work in the ER there and its a small little ER. THere are lots of things to do on the coast and San diego is very close. I hope I didnt respond too late I just found this question. Its also near the Marine corps base too. hope this helps ! and Im not too late.. Ranel

Hi! just a quick note. I was an athlete my whole life, but never a good runner, did sprints in high school softball and college but not a true runner. At the age of 37 I had one year left of eligiblity and went back to play one more year of college ball!!! I found myself working out with 19 year olds and very intimidated.. Needless to say I told myself that I wanted to be a runner. I started doing the elliptical trainer 5 -6 days /week. I would run for 30 seconds and then build myself up. I have done the couch potato to 5 k thing and it wasnt for me ... My lungs were killing me at first and I told my husband he needed to call 911 but after awhile I was able to run 30 min at a time with no problem... You have to condition your lungs and it takes 72 hours to get out of shape, cardio wise. TRUST ME when I say this... good luck , hope this helps:heartbeat
