  2. When do you think things will turn around for nurses?

    mfrancisco replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    P_RN, I have heard that from a lot of experienced nurses that have worked for 20 years plus. Have you ever seen it this bad? I start nursing school next month (ADN program), and everyone is telling...

    mfrancisco replied to bridezillatobe's topic in General Nursing

    I will be 33 next month, and am starting Nursing School this Fall as a second career. I will be 34 (almost 35) when I graduate. By the way, 30 is not that

  4. Just have to share- pt's spouse's thoughts on nursing.

    mfrancisco replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I was thinking. She was not "in shock" if she was worried about her son's distant future while this was all going on. Apparently, she was just ignorant, and was really showing how she...

  6. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs??

    mfrancisco replied to EMEddie's topic in General Nursing

    Well said. The job market in general is not great at all right now. I am starting nursing school in August, and it does worry me about the job market, especially because I live in the San Francisco...

    mfrancisco replied to westmidwest's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks, everyone. I am starting College of Marin in the Fall. I was concerned at first that it's an ADN program, but I just can't pass it up. I applied to USF's Masters Entry program for this past...

  8. 2010 - UCSF / Stanford RN Residency Interview?

    mfrancisco replied to westmidwest's topic in California Nursing

    SoldierofLove, do you have a BSN or and MSN? I am starting nursing school this Fall (ADN program), so I am just wondering if that will play a role when looking for a job in a couple of years. Thanks...

  9. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    mfrancisco replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    I just want to say that I just finished reading every single post on this entire thread. I know have a list of 183 suggestions in my pre-nursing school notebook! I start nursing school on August...

  10. Still waiting to hear from SRJC !!!

    mfrancisco replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California Nursing

  12. Discouraged by Nurses who hate their job

    mfrancisco replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow! There are some toxic posters on this forum. Yes, in case people haven't noticed, there is a wealth of great information here for us pre-nursing/nursing students. Thank you, allnurses.com, for all...

  13. Unwise to get married?

    mfrancisco replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The decision shouldn't be based on whether or not it will interfere with nursing school. It should be based on how you feel about the relationship. I think it's great to be married while being in...

  14. Who has taken chemistry and anatomy together?

    mfrancisco replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Chem and Anatomy in Spring of 2009. I got a 4.0 that semester. I basically studied all the time! Don't miss class, and don't fall behind. I had to say No to a lot of social engagements. I...

  15. First nightshift down

    mfrancisco replied to gtoko's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to jump in here. Not a nurse yet, but I was a 911 dispatcher for three and a half years. I worked nights almost the whole time I was there. I was on five 8 hour shifts from 11pm-7am for a...

    Congratulations!

  17. Is it hard to find jobs for someone who went through Entry Level Masters Program?

    mfrancisco replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California Nursing

    I agree. It is just way too confusing. It almost makes me wish I did not have a BA right now, and can just do the traditional route and get a BSN. Basically, I am going to get an ADN, and then take...

  18. Science Teas Test

    mfrancisco replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, No, it's not free. You have to pay for the practice assessment, but ATI is the site where you take the TEAS test itself. When I went to take the TEAS, they required us to have had already...

  19. Science Teas Test

    mfrancisco replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was really nervous about the TEAS as well, but I took it this past Saturday, and did well. The science was not that bad. I got 82% on the science which was my lowest subject score on the whole...

  20. Nervous about starting school.

    mfrancisco replied to justchill's topic in General Students

    Hi, I got so confused and discouraged from reading a lot of the negative posts. I made a decision that I am just going to go in with a good attitude. I am number 38 in the lottery for an ADN program,...

  21. What would be a better route: ADN or Entry Level MSN

    mfrancisco replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California Nursing

    Hi, I live in the Bay Area Also. I have a bachelor's degree also. I have just been applying to both entry-level MSN programs and ADN programs. I did not get into USF's entry-level program. I am...

  22. Is it hard to find jobs for someone who went through Entry Level Masters Program?

    mfrancisco replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California Nursing

    Basically, Sonoma State and USF have entry-level MSN programs that result in a CNL. A CNL is not considered an Advanced Practice Nurse. San Francisco State has a CNS or FNP entry level masters, and...

  23. Is it hard to find jobs for someone who went through Entry Level Masters Program?

    mfrancisco replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California Nursing

    Hi, I have my BA, too, and am considering doing an ADN program first, because I heard the same thing about the entry-level Masters. With the way the job market is, I would rather not have any debt...
