    Puerto Rico school feedback - thread #2

    ChanelCinq replied to WorldTravelingYogi's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    CCSF Lost it's Accreditation!

    ChanelCinq replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Easiest CA state school to get into for ABSN or direct entry MSN

    ChanelCinq posted a topic in California Nursing

    At this point I am leaning way more towards the ABSN or second degree BSN over the direct entry MSN but if anyone knows the stats or where I can find them I'll take stats for both ABSN and MSN. So I...

    ChanelCinq posted a topic in General Students

    OK I have posted a some what similar thread in the past but I will try again. I have spent hours upon hours researching schools and keep hitting dead ends. The dead ends are anything from exorbitant...

    My gripe with the scrubs is the guys get any old white scrubs and we have these striped hospital green ones. I did a CNA course last summer to help get me into nursing school because some CA state...

    OK I am going to just keep my mouth shut on this one because I think I am confusing everyone and what I have in my head may not be what really will happen. So if a former grad could chime in and...

    Oh no not everything. 60 USD was for the stethoscope, the blood pressure cuff, the penlight, the weird scissors we need, and some other stuff. It was the whole kit. The uniform was 40 for the set....

    MMR (Measels, Mumps, and Rubela) is an easy one. I thought I had it but I was going to volunteer at Stanford. Stanford has a huge laundry list of things you have to do before you can volunteer (like...

    I don't know but "Y" said only some clinicals require it. She said we do not have to get it in advance. I was under the impression if the hospital requires it for clinicals that they will do the...

    Yes this is true. Both the accelerated and non-accelerated group can take the NCLEX for the AND/LVN/LPN (what ever you call it in your state) after pediatrics. As I posted
