  2. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    mfrancisco replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    It is not an ABSN program. Samuel Merritt has an ABSN program which lasts 12 months. The second-degree BSN for USF is about 2-3 years, which is strange because you can complete their Master's Entry...

  3. why do doctors order more vitamin d tests than anything?

    mfrancisco replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it's because a lot of people are more educated now on vitamins, health, etc., so they are probably getting more requests to get tested. I made my husband ask his doctor b/c he works...

  4. Getting really concerned about going into nursing...

    mfrancisco posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I just need some honest feedback. I finished all of my pre-requisites this past Fall semester, and have applied to several nursing schools that start in the Fall of 2010. I have always...

    mfrancisco replied to mfrancisco's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for all of your replies. I appreciate the words of encouragement. I really am committed to helping cancer patients, and I do know that nursing is a career that has a lot of...

  6. Getting really concerned about going into nursing...

    mfrancisco replied to mfrancisco's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, both of you. I really appreciate the feedback. I am just getting nervous, I think. I know every place has its politics, etc. I just wanted some honest opinions. This makes me feel a bit...

  7. Highest paid nursing field?

    mfrancisco replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    I kept reading to see if someone was going to say something, because I was going to add my two cents if not. Well said. That was such a rude and distasteful comment. I am 32, married, with no kids...

  8. Microbiology

    mfrancisco replied to ITALY123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro was my absolute favorite class besides Chemistry. It was very difficult, but very interesting at the same time. I got an A and our teacher was very hard. We lost points for spelling something...

  10. University of San Francisco CNL Entry Masters

    mfrancisco replied to Sandman2855's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No, it's not. A CNL is not considered an advanced practice nurse. I verified this with the admissions person (sorry, can't post her name here, but you know who it is). She explained that the CNL...

  12. University of San Francisco CNL Entry Masters

    mfrancisco replied to Sandman2855's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, a CNL is a generic masters degree, and is not considered an Advanced Practice Nursing degree like the CNS or the FNP. However, the program has a great reputation, you do end up with a Masters...

    mfrancisco replied to mfrancisco's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Hana09, I think (but don't quote me on this) that you are just able to pay and resubmit everything. I know you can submit more letters of rec (2, I think) and you can make any changes to anything...

  18. Direct Entry Master's Programs! I have no CLUE WHAT TO DO!!

    mfrancisco replied to magnoliablossoms's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not a Golden Bear, but I am an Aggie (UC Davis as you already know), so I will crash this conversation. I just wanted to give my support, because I went through the same thing. I graduated from...

    mfrancisco replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    mfrancisco replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    Hey bluechick, where did you do your CNA course at? I didn't get for the Spring Master's Entry and was going to do a CNA course.

  21. Do you think there will be more nursing jobs by the time I graduate in 2013-14?

    mfrancisco replied to TrinaCNA's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you very much Jesse. I really don't pay attention. It's funny because when I have talked to nurses during volunteering, they have told me that the job is worth it, rewarding, and that it's...

  22. Do you think there will be more nursing jobs by the time I graduate in 2013-14?

    mfrancisco replied to TrinaCNA's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I've read that a lot, but every time I tell someone that I am going to school for nursing I get a negative reaction. Someone actually said to me "I don't know how you would want to change...

  23. Do you think there will be more nursing jobs by the time I graduate in 2013-14?

    mfrancisco replied to TrinaCNA's topic in General Nursing

    The recession is not close to being over at all. I am really concerned about how the job market will be in 2012 when I graduate. However, if there are no nursing jobs, there won't be any other jobs...
