  1. CSUDH, RN to BSN

    Jessica710 posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hi Everyone! I'm going to be starting this program in the fall, and was just curious if anyone has any input, tips or pointers to give me? A little bit nervous about doing everything online... but...

  2. CSUDH, RN to BSN

    Jessica710 replied to Jessica710's topic in California Nursing

    CSUDH is going well. Personally, between working full time at night and taking 13 units this semester it's been a bit much, but I just want to be done! You do get your public health certificate...

    Jessica710 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi guys! I'm planning on moving to the Austin area in about 1.5 years. (Decided to complete my BSN in CA before moving as your requirements are very different in TX!) I'm an RN(ADN) currently...

  4. anyone having any better hopes for the nursing jobs in SoCal?

    Jessica710 replied to Amerae's topic in California Nursing

    My best advice to you is get that CNA job, be a unit secretary, ANYTHING that gets you in the door. I just graduated from an ADN program in Dec 2010, and was one of the very few lucky ones to get a...

    Just wanted to say best of luck to all of you!!!! :) I'm actually going to be at work tomorrow, but there will be some people there from CNSA to answer questions more on the student level! :) Like I...

    Jessica710 replied to CaGuy's topic in California Nursing

    They will let you know what to do at orientation. If they don't bring it up - then make sure you

  7. Anyone else rushing to become an APN before 2015?

    Jessica710 replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    It's just what I heard - there were several different ANP's there who've been sitting on comittees shaping these new policies in CA. And it wasn't that they would be rescinding a license, it would be...

  8. Anyone else rushing to become an APN before 2015?

    Jessica710 replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    At the recent California Nursing Students Association conference there was lots of talk about about this. And like a lot of you have stated, it's merely a suggestion at this point, and in all reality...

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California Nursing

    If you check out the transfer center page it has the different check sheets which list the courses you need to certify your GE. Those along with your nursing classes are probably all you need in...

  10. I got my acceptance letter for Cypress College Fall 2010

    Jessica710 replied to CaGuy's topic in California Nursing

    You don't actually get anything back from the company if you pass. You get a pass/no pass certificate like thing emailed to you. I would guess if you had issues you would get to see... Darlene Fishman...

  11. I got my acceptance letter for Cypress College Fall 2010

    Jessica710 replied to CaGuy's topic in California Nursing

    I believe the background checks take around a week to get back to you. (That's IF you have nothing on your record!) Unfortunately the background checks are only valid for the term in which you are...

  12. I got my acceptance letter for Cypress College Fall 2010

    Jessica710 replied to CaGuy's topic in California Nursing

    Just contact Darlene Fishman (nursing director) and she will let you know exactly how it works! She's great & very supportive, so don't worry about giving her a

  13. Cypress College

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California Nursing

    Well I'll tell you now, the trick to this is that you *must* make time for it. The floor I work on normally has lunch relief, so they take over your patients & phone for 30 minutes. But other...

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California Nursing

    NCamp - if you really want to work at St Jude I highly highly suggest you try & get in as a CNA/PCT or a Unit Secretary. It's sooo hard to get in if you aren't an internal candidate, PLUS it will...

    Yep! I started in January of this year, I'm just 1 semester behind

  16. Cypress College

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California Nursing

    I've actually heard some pretty negative things about the entry level programs as far as them preparing you clinically for being a nurse. So you will actually get a much better education at Cypress!...

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California Nursing

    Yep, I know McRomeo!! Awesome guy! I have a job awaiting my graduation/IP/NCLEX results at St Jude in Fullerton! Was in the last group of people who were hired into their work study program... it's so...

  18. I got my acceptance letter for Cypress College Fall 2010

    Jessica710 replied to CaGuy's topic in California Nursing

    Physicals at Cypress Health Center are sooo easy & quick, I really recommend it!! Plus if you ever get sick... I went in there with strep, you get an awesome NP to see you & FREE antibiotics...

  19. Cypress College

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California Nursing

    You'll for sure need Nursing 191 (Pharmacology 1), 192 (Fundamentals) & 193 (Intro to Med/Surg). (193 starts the 2nd 9 weeks though, so you may want to hold off registering for that.) Plus there...

  20. Cypress College

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California Nursing

    Once you're in program you don't have to worry about registering at all! I'm wrapping up my 4th semester as we speak, (YAY!) and even if somehow mysteriously your class "closes" you can get an add...

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California Nursing

    I work one 12 hour shift per week - and sometimes even that feels like too much! Luckily I have very flexible hours, can change what day I work, I even skip a week if need be... but my best advice is...

  22. Cypress College

    Jessica710 replied to guavaturtle's topic in California Nursing

    Keep in mind that every semester is going to be different! There are different amounts of lecture & clinical hours that you need to meet course objectives, so there really is no set schedule. I'm...

    Jessica710 replied to SiennaGreen's topic in General Students

    I am feeling the same way!! We just finished up week 3 - and I couldn't be more excited I

  24. is anyone waiting or in the Cypress or Saddleback Nursing Program?

    Jessica710 replied to madi'smomi's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in the Cypress Nursing Program. As far as the wait goes, if you have EVERYTHING done before you apply and have the maximum number of points (25 total - all A's in your sciences & all...

  25. Pre-Reqs + Waiting List questions?

    Jessica710 replied to dalsor's topic in California Nursing

    I don't think I can really answer all of your questions - but just a bit of advice that I've heard from many people in my nursing program (Cypress College)... have EVERYTHING done before you apply....
