  1. 2 patients requested not to have me back

    SoCaliGirl replied to december2905's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think the fact of the matter is that you can be a person who does your job perfectly, and there will still be some people in the world who don't like you. It may be a shock to some people, but...

  2. women working with women, why its so hard

    SoCaliGirl replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's different once you're in the nursing environment, but in my industry, women are WAY easier to work with. I'd say out of the 18 guys I work with, 15 of them want to stand around and do...

  3. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    SoCaliGirl replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    SoCaliGirl replied to ryqu's topic in California Nursing

  9. Fall 2009 A & P 1... who's with me?

    SoCaliGirl replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Saddleback Fall '09

    SoCaliGirl replied to AOX4RN's topic in California Nursing

    I'm about to start my prereq's this fall at Cypress. I'm just tearing my hair out over whether or not I really need to take Chemisty, or if I can get A's in Anat, Phys, and Micro without

  11. Saddleback Fall '09

    SoCaliGirl replied to AOX4RN's topic in California Nursing

    That's too bad. At least you have Cerritos! What was your gpa? Does Cerritos just do a lottery now? I'm trying to figure out how all the different O.C. schools do their acceptance and it's so...

  14. I don't get it...

    SoCaliGirl posted a topic in California Nursing

    How can there be NO new grads getting jobs? It seems like that's all the threads are about in here. There are literally NO jobs out there? I don't see how that's possible. ETA: Even 1 out of 10...

  15. Feeling Discouraged...

    SoCaliGirl replied to drawnfromlife7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And I'm proof! I'm 27. When I was 24 I was about to finish school to be an accountant. I had an internship at a big accounting firm and took a job offer there. Then I realized that accounting was...

    SoCaliGirl replied to drawnfromlife7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This may sound bad, but I almost laughed when I read this part because 25 is SO young!! Take it from me, who won't finish nursing school til I'm at LEAST 32, and all the other older students...just...

  17. Is this true?????

    SoCaliGirl replied to monkeykiss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's ridiculous. I already have a degree, so I only have to take the sciences. I just registered and only got ONE class because the other ones were full. Why would I take other classes that I...

  18. I don't get it...

    SoCaliGirl replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in California Nursing

    Also...do you think after the recession that it will be easier to find jobs? Is that what the big thing is? It's just so funny that students no so long ago were being offered jobs before graduation...

  20. How much did you earn your first year?

    SoCaliGirl replied to whitecats's topic in First Year After Licensure

  22. need advice...50k for an ADN?

    SoCaliGirl replied to lolwut's topic in California Nursing

    If you have the means to pay for the ADN program, why not go for it? I'm sure it would take some financial aid help, but I bet most of us will be using financial aid as it is no matter what program...

    SoCaliGirl replied to LolaBunnie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
