   Hey guys - I'm in the New Grad program, too! Very excited! Glad to meet you ... my soon to be fellow RN employees. :) I talked with -------------- and she said the Onc email was indeed just a generic application for all of us to fill out, so that the...

   sandiegoaaron replied to sallyp911's topic in California

   Hey guys - sorry if I missed this from previous posts, but does anyone know what to expect from the panel interview? What type of questions? Was their focus mainly on your resume and clinical rotations? Etc. Thanks for any help! I just got the c...

3. Civilian RN positions at San Diego Naval Medical Center

   sandiegoaaron replied to GuelnRn's topic in Government

   Hi folks, I'm a new grad, too. Appreciate the comments, Navyman (and others), but I think your 100k salary thought is off the mark. I'm thinking of applying to the Balboa Naval Hospital, too, and I met with the Nurse Recruiter (though she said that w...

   Wow, dfullen, I see this post is a couple years old, but have you found what you wanted? I'm in an accelerated BSN program now, but also thinking of firefighting. I've also very much wanted to look into being a flight nurse. So please, let me know...

   Hey, I forgot to say, the pricing I was comparing was half.com books versus the USED books of SM. I'm not sure if you can get brand spankin' new books online or not. Aaron

   sandiegoaaron replied to scns1733's topic in California

   Hey guys - What does everyone think about the course schedule? It's good for me, since I'll still be able to work. Hey, I went to Half.com to try and find out about book prices. I was pretty excited to see all these cheap prices, but then got wise...

   Hey All - Geez, looks like I've been missing out! Sorry for slacking a bit. Been up in Seattle with family for turkey day and whatnot. Hope all had great times and full bellies. :) I've read the past few pages of postings and I'm up ... or down ...

   sandiegoaaron replied to scns1733's topic in California

   Amy, I feel your pain and that is a pickle. I've been in your boat, for sure. For me it's been a matter of being distracted (like you are now) or just so tired of studying that I have trouble taking it anymore. But, you sound like a smarty-pants, ...

9. National University San Diego

   sandiegoaaron replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in California

   Thanks very much, prettyinpink - I like the name. :) OK, so I think I get you, there is a lot of outside the class teaching yourself and reading. That's OK, you're right, 5 hours per week in lecture doesn't sound like much, so that's understandable...

10. National University San Diego

    sandiegoaaron replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in California

    Hey folks - I'll be in Cohort 21 at National, but I'm worried about a question I'm not seeing here on all these postings. Has anyone heard first hand about the faculty? Are the instructors helpful? I've heard National teachers are like drill serge...

    Amy, this link - http://www.temecula.org/relocation.html - is from the "Congratulations, you've been accepted!" email we all received from SM. The Relocation Links is under the Community setting. I was thinking maybe you could call one or two ... o...

    Ha, I like it. Positive thinking indeed. Thanks for the support, ladies. I'm feeling better and better about this. Sarah, I can tell you some things about the field ... other than the field ... for sure. I have a degree in Poli Sci, but sort of...

    sandiegoaaron replied to scns1733's topic in California

    Ha! I like the name EggsMom! You'll see why in a sec. :) I just switched to San Marcos and they've accepted me to their Temecula campus. Here's the thing, I was going to go to National U, who accepted me also. Orientation for National is on Frid...

14. Looking for Accelerated BSN program, but ...

    sandiegoaaron posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I have a degree in Political Science and am looking to go into nursing through an accelerated program. My grades weren't so hot early on and this has dragged my over-all GPA down ... my later grades (when I became more serious) were much better....
