  1. RN residency programs not for new grads.

    mmm333 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    check out UCSF and UCSD in San Francisco & San Diego, and UCLA. I'm certain I saw this on the UCSD or UCSF website the other

  2. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    mmm333 replied to lperkrn's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes there seems to be a big difference two types of "demand" which can be distinguished using accepted economic terminology as "real demand" (real since there is plenty of sickness in the world which...

  3. Is it true that male new grads are not struggling

    mmm333 replied to gtshin30303's topic in General Nursing

    Not true. A while back, few men were applying to nursing school. That picked up significantly. It has gotten to the point where the scale may have tipped to the point where it makes their job search...

  4. Can I join military as an LVN?

    mmm333 replied to Lfransis's topic in Government, Military

    Good god, if you were a commercial diver and chamber tech, you should REALLY consider going Navy Diver or Navy EOD Medic, or (if you are really up to it and can get an age waiver, SEAL). Why waste all...

  5. Can RN's moonlight as LPN"s?

    mmm333 replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    Dianne I certainly appreciate your response in spirit. I am a new grad with no job 6 months post-graduation. I am now seeking work using my CNA. These are desperate times, so in response to your...

  6. Can RN's moonlight as LPN"s?

    mmm333 replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    If what you say here is 100% true, and it is up to a non-healthcare working jury or judge to decide the case, then I would go along with my nursing school prof's advice to NEVER pick up an LPN or CNA...

  7. Can RN's moonlight as LPN"s?

    mmm333 replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    So therefore from the employer perspective you could capitalize on the RN by offering them only LVN work, knowing that you will get RN-level care but pay them the lower rate. Be careful, RNs... this...

  8. Quick Tip for ANYONE considering nursing in the military

    mmm333 replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    Sargeant- does AMEDD currently have any mission for ADN

  9. Kaplan NCLEX-RN review course

    mmm333 replied to Nickie789's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also passed on my first attempt after taking Kaplan, even though I was VERY preoccupied with work and family while taking the course and couldn't really follow all of their instructions with regard...

  10. BA to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't overlook "NCLEX pass rates" for each school either. This is the #1 criteria in my opinion. Don't apply to any program with a low or unpublished pass rate without visiting the school and asking...

  11. BA to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BTW my old buddy is doing the RN>BSN at CSU Fullerton online and loves it, having dropped out of a previous online program through another

  12. BA to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @AnneS ... The skills you can deliver based on your business education / BS will speak for themselves on the floor and in class... but essentially your BS degree is totally inapplicable to the nursing...

  13. BA to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shaas, I can only offer my advice as an ADN grad, which depends on the amount of security and money you have behind you. Nursing education is an investment that may or may not pay off, at least in the...

  14. A long vent, I apologize.

    mmm333 replied to Marleyna's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure about this thought, but people who direct hazing at newbies eventually stop once you have become "one of them". If you can find out what changes they are looking for and emulate them, you...

  15. A long vent, I apologize.

    mmm333 replied to Marleyna's topic in General Nursing

    It should be in every contract that nurses are expected to exhibit leadership and mentorship, and re-iterated verbally by the manager that if they want this job, they are making a commitment to grow...

  16. Navy Nurse Questions

    mmm333 replied to belabelisa's topic in Government, Military

    Did you just copy my screen name? I'm flattered! I'm literally blushing, and I don't usually blush. haha, yeah, sounds like another Tailhook in the making there... I guess the core problems inherent...

  17. Navy Nurse Questions

    mmm333 replied to belabelisa's topic in Government, Military

    LCDR Dan is right about the cultural changes in the Navy. I came in shortly after Tailhook and served 6 years active/2reserve, the culture had already changed alot but especially made a transition...

  18. A long vent, I apologize.

    mmm333 replied to Marleyna's topic in General Nursing

    Well put weasel, I detect a little military background there ;]. I find that when I make a "hot contact" in the workplace, the best body language is to let out an exasperated sigh and let your arms...

  19. A long vent, I apologize.

    mmm333 replied to Marleyna's topic in General Nursing

    There are books on "toxic personalities" and workplace bullying. Reading one of those might give you some evidence base and tested techniques for dealing with people like this. Just knowing that other...

  20. Volunteer nursing jobs in the bay area

    mmm333 replied to alotssakitkat's topic in California Nursing

    I know this is an old post, but the question is perennial in light of the situation for new grads and returners to nursing who left and came back. As I understand, there are several legal barriers at...

  21. Struggles with finding a nursing job....

    mmm333 replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    oh I see, yeah, probably. It's a good point. No education is a waste- but it's also true that not all education pays the bills, either! i should know! Sure none of us wants to hear too much...

  22. Struggles with finding a nursing job....

    mmm333 replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The post was meant to be positive, not scary. I'm pointing out how to take this situation in stride and move forward. You got hired- Congratulations, I don't know what area you are in or your...

  24. Struggles with finding a nursing job....

    mmm333 replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Certainly anyone can recognize that you are probably just venting after making some sacrifices in order to attend NS. And any new grad right now can empathize with your current plight. We all placed...

  25. CSU Dominguez Hills Online RN to BSN

    mmm333 replied to edwardla, RN's topic in California Nursing

    Mostly verbal 1) Look at Stanford University/Lucille Packards Site, for example. 2) The military recruiters told me this in person, though it is not on the websites. Their rationale was that people...
