    50caliber replied to ChanelCinq's topic in California Nursing

    I thought Fresno State was pretty easy to get into. I had a degree from a UC when I applied to Fresno State back in 2007. I turned it down and went to a local JC

    50caliber replied to piscesmama's topic in California Nursing

    50caliber replied to ksauce20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

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

    50caliber replied to lolwut's topic in California Nursing

    If time is something you really value at this moment, do it. Once you finish and get hired, 50k is not a lot if you are a RN in the bay area. To put in perspective, I paid way less than that for my...

  7. How hard is the NCLEX???

    50caliber replied to ksauce20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed first time and didn't think it was too hard but what made it stressful was that your life is literally on hold with this exam. A lot of it is a mental game that you play with yourself. I...

  11. California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?

    50caliber replied to piscesmama's topic in California Nursing

    From my experiences, its almost impossible to get a job in these Bay Area hospitals. They are hiring for only 1 department here at Washington and I'm sure there are many many many nursing students who...

  18. New Grad Dilema

    50caliber replied to ChickenJoyRN,BSN's topic in California Nursing

    That is correct. I drove down twice to SoCal in 1 week for different new grad open houses. Times are tough especially for new grads in CA and you got to do whatever it takes to get something unless...

    50caliber replied to ChickenJoyRN,BSN's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in the same position as you. Graduated in Dec 08 as well and live in the Bay Area. I know you probably don't want to hear this but I think its way too difficult to land a job unless you get very...

  20. Hoag new grad pay?

    50caliber replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in California Nursing

    50caliber replied to RNLola035's topic in California Nursing

    Its extremely slim pickings. From talking to certain department directors, they want the process to go through them. Then you deal with HR. Good
