  1. ITT Tech Nursing- Rancho Cordova

    Error.
  2. ITT Tech Nursing- Rancho Cordova

    Maybe give it some time to develop and get a track record before going there.
  3. Online RN to BSN or go for MSN at Chamberlain??

    I recommend you go to an established state university, particularly one affiliated with a teaching hospital. You will get a better education and you will have better opportunities for clinical practice. If I were hiring an MSN and someone from Chambe...
  4. ITT-Tech in Rancho Cordova is beginning a generic ADN program. The program beings March 2012.
  5. My analysis of the situation begins with the impression that it has become too easy to become a nurse. Nursing programs have lowered their admission and retention standards allowing less-that qualified persons to become nurses. Further, nursing progr...
  6. Carrington College or UNR?

    I recommend you check into the clinical placements for both programs. Your clinical experience in a nursing program is very important and some hospitals/medical centers exclude private, for profit programs from using their settings. The Carrington LV...
  7. Warning do not go to Carrington College....

    I'm gonna tell you what the real problem here is. Though I don't know the particular colllege in question here, I do know that even the best nursing programs suffer under the endless complaints of students when the nursing program tries to impose pro...
  8. Capella University vs. Walden

    Capella and Walden are for-profit, online programs that do not offer the quality of nursing education that one would receive at a university associated with a medical center. The best advanced degrees in nursing come from programs such as the Univers...
  9. Anyone attended Western Career College?

    WCC is run by people who do not understand nursing. They are primarily interested in collecting enormous fees from unwitting students who, for the most part, cannot get into traditional, college-based programs. They get rid of the teachers who have s...
  10. Delta College, Stockton, CA

    Everyone seems to be looking for easy courses but what the community and profession need are people who are well prepared to take care of them, not people who got through a class because it was easy. Take the easy teachers and learn little; take the ...
  11. Trust me, the people that go to WCC could never get into Stanford.
  12. Xavier in Stockton

    Xavier, WCC, and Kaplan will take anyone with a pulse and then they are thrust on poor unsuspecting patients in the community when they do their clinical. A friend of mine is a nurse at The County and she says the nurses don't trust the students when...
  13. Unitek College LVN program... good or Bad??

    The proprietary programs such as Unitek are primarily interested in the income from students. They admit under-qualified students who cannot get into the competative programs at the Community Colleges and their practice is to do most anything to keep...
  14. bumps on back - HIV?

    I think your friend is correct about the assumption. I know two persons with HIV who are on HIV medications and they have developed, I'll call them lumps on their backs. They are not discolorations--just pronounced skin elevations.
  15. Move to FL for schooling ?

    Thanks for posting your resume and all of your excuses for making a C in anatomy. One thing nursing does not need is someone who can produce multiple excuses for their downfallings. Nursing needs mature, smart people who own up to their shortfallings...
  16. Move to FL for schooling ?

    How do you know your sister never endangered a patient? Are you aware of every activity and every step your sister has taken? Maybe there was a time your sister should have checked a BP but didn't or overlooked an abnormal lab or all sorts of things....
  17. Move to FL for schooling ?

    Typical and expected response. As soon as someone suggests that nurses be smart, someone calls it "elite." Go ahead, hun, fill up the ranks with the mediocre who think "C = RN." Please don't give me the hackneyed response, "I know plenty of book smar...
  18. western career college?

    I sort of know someone going there. She says it's expensive and disorganized. They change the schedule a lot. There's a lot of drama among the students and most of her classmates are barely capable of functioning at the LVN level, much less the RN le...
  19. Xavier in Stockton

    It's an expensive program that's more interested in producing a profit than producing well-prepared nurses. I would stay away from any program that does not have competative admissions and allows most anyone who is breathing get in. The crowd that us...
  20. Move to FL for schooling ?

    The school situation in CA is actually great for the patients, profession and the community because for the most part only the best students get into nursing school now. Many programs are making their decisions based on merit not the luck of the lott...
