    mfrancisco replied to rlhtsvm's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the school. Don't give up, and go talk to the admissions counselor for the schools that you are interested in. They will tell you if they ever accept people with a GPA of under 3.0....

  8. 100% pro-life, considering nursing school

    mfrancisco replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

  9. 100% pro-life, considering nursing school

    mfrancisco replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    I can see not working in an abortion clinic, but refusing patient care to someone post abortion? That doesn't make sense. What about the gang member who has been shot and took a shot at someone else...

    mfrancisco replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, I agree with all of the posts. I have 2 friends that have their ADNs and got hired right away a couple of years ago, so it has a lot to do with the job market. Don't get discouraged. Keep...

    Hi, I am in your same situation. Start taking your pre-requisites ASAP. Most of the schools will want Anatomy, Physio, and Micro at minimum. Depending on how much time you have, you can get these...

    mfrancisco replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the advice. Yes, we recently moved from our $2000/month one-bedroom in SF, and got a deal in Marin due to a family owning the home we live in now. I do agree that Petaluma and Novato are...
