San Diego, Ca. RN position, starting rate is $30/hr FT w/benefits. Also $1.20 extra an hr if you have a BSN. So, I get $31.20/hr my first job. No weekendsw differential, but second shift (1900-0700) gets $4.00/hr MORE. *Remember to consider the c...

San Diego, Ca. It took me 5 months from passing the NCLEX to finding, securing, and starting my first gig as an RN. It was in Southern S.D.

New Graduate RN BSN. I work 3 12's a week including every other weekend. Since I am in my first year of nursing it IS pretty time consuming. I imagine that when I don't have to spend so much of my down time studying and my extra time looking up my pa...

I got a job offer from Chula Vista Too!!!!!! I thought I did so bad in the interview, but as usual like the NCLEX and my current job at Sharp..I was just far too hard on myself.

i had my interview december 2nd for sharp chula vista's pcu. i broke and finally called back on december 14th to see if they filled the 5 positions that they have. when i interviewed they said that they got 1,700 applications for 5 positions and they...

i had my interview yesterday with sharp chula vista med-surg/tele. they told me that they had selected 200 applicants and were still in the beginning phases of contacting and going through the portfolios selected. they said that i was barely the seco...

Hello all, I just passed my NCLEX on the 6th on this month and am now looking for a job. I am going to get my BSN when I graduate from National University in February. I also work at Sharp. I know of about 5-6 people off the top of my head who are al...

I am set to test on September 27th for my first (and hopefully only) attempt.

That is what I had as well (3.17), I think they really pay attention to the Essay, b/c I know people with better GPA's then me who did not get accepted. Its an overall package deal. The TEAS test, the Essay, the GPA. You get the idea. Hey question ha...

I looked into it to do it that way..and you have to write to the program of nursing director, and have maintained an overall GPA or 3.5 or above and have at least 18 quarter units completed. I do not qualify yet b/c we haven't done 18 quarter units y...

I don't know about that quote!!!! I am in the program and they quoted be a little higher than that too...but did they also take into account the $1,300 orientation fee, or the $650 A MONTH nursing fees, or the $100-250 a month spent on books????? Be...

For sure! I think I speak for all of us cohort 18 ladies when I say that we are so busy, we forget to do even the most menial tasks these days if it is not in relation to school! But yes, we are well, my lab just went over and practiced Tracheotomy c...

Well I am part of the April Cohort as well, and we are in the 2nd week of our 3rd class, Fundamentals of Nursing NSG-304. We have completed the Health Assessment, Pharmacology, and are in Fundamentals, this is our first 2 month long class, with our s...

According to N-Clex standards. You have to know the content, be able to use critical thinking skills to think the answer through (often times there are MORE than one right answer), and then choose the most appropriate answer that they want. And like ...

To answer your question, Finals are always gonna be on Saturdays,and our clinical for this class was as well, b/c we just don't have time to take out of our already compacted class or lab time. And I have leture or 'theory' on Mon & Wed and Lab o...

Well like Ashley said the books are the same, also to answer your other question yes the AVERAGE grade in the class as of now seems to be in the mid-C range! And believe me, we are NO slackers. 4 People have already left this program/cohort, to eithe...

Bubbles, I agree with a lot of what everyone is saying, but I really don't think something like starting a family is somethiing you should leave up to your 'heart' having a kid is a big decision that cahnges everything, especially your experience in ...

Yes they made us go pick them up to ensure that we had them for the first night of labs. They are serious about those uniforms, *warning* those uniforms DO make you run the risk of being confused with a giant blueberry or smurf!:gtch:

It depends on the class in orientation they told us that "flexibility is a must in this program" This Saturday was our first clinical in a real hospital setting the rest *for this class* are in simulated labs twice a week. The days depend on what you...

Haha leave it to us girls to have nightmares not that we don't know the content, or that we contract some disease, but that we have 'wardrobe mishaps'!!!!

Yes they said it would be tomorrow, personally I hope not...the less time we have to wear those god awful things the better!! I want to wear NORMAL clothes, again I had a dream that I got told something for my attire choices....I was wearing a Tutu a...

Well I just finished that TERRIBLE ATI test, I answered everything honestly, even if I knew it probably made me look like an ASS...well I don't know how the scoring system works, like what good or bad...but, I didn't score higher than an '8' on a sin...

It was so nice taling to you ladies today, I think we are going to be great in this program, we all come from different walks of life, and are at different points in it, but we all have one common goal, and that is to become amazing nurses! BTW send ...

Except for my 'demon baby' its just me, look for a frazzled young mom and her feral child..that should narrow it down, besides, I don't think that particular Starbucks will exactly be booming at 2pm. :smilecoffeeIlovecof

Haha, I got called 'spunky'! Well I can't say that's a first! :roll:roll
