  1. States Hiring New Grads

    SoCaliGirl replied to restless09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, this message board seems to be running rampant with people who think that everyone shares their opinion. For the record, I'm a California native but think Texas is

  2. States Hiring New Grads

    SoCaliGirl replied to restless09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    one's in a new grad program right now and the other graduated last year (spring 08). i don't know. when i talk about the job search here they say that new grads not finding a job is weird to them....

  3. States Hiring New Grads

    SoCaliGirl replied to restless09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where in AZ are you? I know a couple nurses there who recently told me that AZ grads can always find jobs. It's actually one of the things that is keeping me interested in the ADN program. Maybe...

  4. Date my Doctor/Employer?

    SoCaliGirl replied to newlilrn's topic in General Nursing

    McDreamy didn't wear a ring either. And on a serious note, I would wait for him to make an official move. But that's just me. I was just thinking about how if I were in the situation, and he wasn't...

  5. How critical is chemistry to passing micro?

    SoCaliGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken chemistry since high school...over 10 years ago. It's not a pre-req for the nursing program, but everyone "recommends" it as a precursor to microbiology. So when they say "recommend"...

  6. How critical is chemistry to passing micro?

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

    I'm revisiting this thread just now and finally made a decision. I was going to double up and take Anatomy and Chemistry in the fall, and then Micro and Physiology in the Spring. However, I think it...

  7. How do you work during nursing school?

    SoCaliGirl posted a topic in General Students

    I've seen a lot of threads about working as little as possible, people working part-time, and people working full-time during nursing school...and I'm just really wondering about the actual specifics...

  8. Is anyone else addicted to nursing student vlogs on youtube??

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

    Can you make a video with the video feature on a regular digital camera? Or do you need an actual "video camera"? I'd love to start doing this even with the pre-req's and everything leading up to...

  9. I cannot STAND working in lab student discrimination!

    SoCaliGirl replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can not agree with this enough. There was a hispanic man at my job who went to file a claim with the company that he was being treated rudely and ignored because the other employees were "racist"....

  10. Already Have A BA, Getting ADN

    SoCaliGirl replied to techraider77's topic in General Nursing

    Most of my decision comes from three areas. 1) The ABSN and EL-MSN programs here are VERY difficult to get into, 2) The cost of the ADN is so much cheaper, and 3) I'm impatient and want to start NOW...

  11. Should I quit work during nursing school if I can?

    SoCaliGirl posted a topic in General Students

    I am planning on taking my prerequisites this coming fall and next spring (2010) and then I'll be applying to get into a Spring 2011 ADN program. This gives me over a year and a half to save money....

  12. Cypress College Point System for ADN acceptance

    SoCaliGirl replied to Jennifer10341's topic in California Nursing

    What do you think about taking anatomy during the summer? At Cypress I think it's a six or seven week long class. Would I be killing myself with

  13. My husband said something that got me to thinking.

    SoCaliGirl replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Oh definitely. This one guy at my work was complained about by everyone. After he got talked to by management, he still thought that everyone was making up lies out of nowhere. Um...if everyone...

  14. Fed Up With People Saying There Is a Shortage

    SoCaliGirl replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    If someone is interested in a wide variety of careers, job availability can be a deciding factor to break a tie. I think that's actually an important thing to think

  15. Complete Frustration

    SoCaliGirl replied to ccstudent's topic in General Students

    I'm still a pre-nursing student, so I'm just wondering what it is about med/surg that they would only have openings there? Do most nurses want to work in other areas? I ask because I feel like...

  16. My husband said something that got me to thinking.

    SoCaliGirl replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    As a waitress, I will say that your husband's observation is 100% accurate...in my industry at least. The people who do NOTHING just fly under the radar and cause more work for everyone else. The...

  17. Already Have A BA, Getting ADN

    SoCaliGirl replied to techraider77's topic in General Nursing

    Ooo, I started a thread sort of about this but it hasn't gotten any replies yet, so I guess I'll jump in here. My question is are all RN-BSN and RN-MSN programs designed for people who ONLY have an...

  18. Is anyone else addicted to nursing student vlogs on youtube??

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

    How are you searching for them? I liked the ones by the girl you posted so I'd like to see some

  19. How critical is chemistry to passing micro?

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

    It is funny all the pre-req's being different everywhere. The school where I'm taking classes requires that you take Anatomy before Physiology, so we don't even have the option of flipping them...

  20. How critical is chemistry to passing micro?

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

    Interesting...I was just looking at the two community colleges that I take classes at. One of them requires a biological science with a lab AND chemistry. The other school doesn't require anything...
