  1. How to Survive the Job Search

    I know this thread is old but I just wanted to bump this up. Sometimes it's difficult to imagine that things will get better because of how difficult it is to get a job nowadays (especially as a new...
  2. What did you take Anatomy with

    I liked taking two science classes together. I took anatomy and biochemistry together (both were pre-reqs for physiology). The following semester, I took physiology and microbiology
  3. Parkland Summer 2015 Internship

    SFAgrad2015-- they just posted L&D position! Check their career page. I applied to the NNICU but I'm out-of-state so I don't know if they'll consider me. I hear Dallas is pretty saturated with new...
  4. JuliaguliaRN, BSN - Thank you for sharing! What state did you move to (I'm beginning to look at out-of-state options)? And what specialty are in now? Congrats on making it! It gives the rest of us...
  5. NICU with no experience

    NNP2018-- Did you have your nursing school preceptorship in the NICU or in pediatrics/maternity? I applied to the UVA program and selected newborn ICU as my 1st choice. Like the OP, I have no...
  6. Degree type: MSN (direct entry); 3.98 GPA Time out of school: 3 months # of positions applied to date: ~20 Dream RN position: NICU. Neonatology interests me more than any other nursing specialty but...
  7. Passed at 85 questions

    Congratulations! Doing A LOT of questions is the key to passing the NCLEX. There is no way that you can learn every disease or medication that the NCLEX can throw at you... but, you can master the...
  8. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    She should be grateful she was hired into the ICU as a new grad with an ADN. It costs a hospital a lot of money to train a new graduate nurses. It's completely fair for the hospital then to require...
  9. What does your username mean?

    My username is my favorite type of tea (tulsi with cinnamon rose). It's a hippie thing.
  10. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    "Nursing needs to implement slightly higher barriers to entry. Moreover, entry requirements should be standardized and consistent across the country." Yes! I think our standards for entry should be...
  11. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    The PPACA is not socialist medicine. It operates under an insurance model (consumers can choose from multiple insurance providers). "Socialist medicine" would be a single-payer/universal healthcare...
  12. NewGrad RN trying to move to Ca

    I live in Northern California and the job environment is much like SoCal. To even get considered for an interview you will need: BSN or MSN, certs (ACLS, PALS, ), and some kind of health care...
  13. Would you quit over white uniforms?

    It wouldn't bother me. I'm a new grad in California. I'll take the job even if they made me wear neon yellow scrubs with zebra
  14. Congrats! And thank you for coming back and updating.
  15. Community College? You must be stupid.

    I totally understand! I've been attending the local CC since I was 14 (summer after my freshman year of high school). I attended UC Berkeley straight out of high school and finished a BA in 3 years,...
  16. Hi all, I graduated with a BA degree last year and am currently taking my pre-requisites for either an ABSN or a DEMSN program. I am also volunteering in my spare time. The local hospital that I am...
  17. I'm an undergrad at Berkeley pursing a BA in political science. After I graduate, I plan on either getting an RN (AA degree) at a community college, getting an accelerated BSN, or just applying...
  18. HeartsOpenWide, thanks for the reply. "in my area the JCs pre-reqs are actually better and turn out better students than the UC" I feel this way too. From what I've observed.. science classes at...
  19. Thanks for the response. I looked into transferring to a BSN program and found that: 1) Berkeley doesn't offer a Bachelor's in Nursing degree. 2) I'm already a 2nd year student and transferring to...
  20. How do I make a transition from pre-law into pre-nursing?

    Law just isn't for me. The idea of sitting at a desk all day and doing paperwork for a case drives me crazy. I'm really active and if I sit down for too long, I'd get bored. And like rbezemek said,...
  21. Hi all. I'm currently doing my 2nd year of undergraduate studies at Berkeley with a major in political science. I was originally pre-law but after much reflection (and by much, I mean a years worth),...
