  1. Orange County RNs - help!

    I sent you a PM. I hope it helps. Good luck to you!
  2. That's so nice of you to share your way of doing your resume, MissMolly! Could I see it, too? I'd like to improve mine and am always grateful for ideas! My email is
  3. I've been wondering about this: I'm currently attending an ADN program in California. My goal is to eventually get my BSN. I read on this forum that new grads unable to find employment within one...
  4. Need a motivational help in studying

    I'm really sorry you're going through this right now. Sending you a big virtual hug! Some of my classmates have trouble with the fast pace of our program, and I myself have my own difficulties of a...
  5. Hi everyone, I have applied to several nursing programs in Orange County, among them Saddleback College's, and I'm wondering how students who are currently enrolled there like the program. I have a...
  6. You've been studying with the right material. I found the ATI study guide very helpful. It covered everything on the test (I had read threads suggesting otherwise, which made me very nervous for no...
  7. Hospitals pay for nursing school?

    You are so lucky! Congratulations on landing this offer. :) Where I'm from in Southern Cali, we are happy if we're hired at all at this time. Openings for new grads have become so scarce at hospitals...
  8. Online intersession pharmacology

    Long Beach City College in California has an online Pharm class. I don't know if the class is offered during the winter intersession, but it's called "ADN 225 - Nursing Applications of Pharmacology"....
  9. So sorry to hear you might give up on nursing because of those difficulties. I'm also tempted to tell you to take a student loan, but I assume you must have thought of that yourself, and you probably...
  10. Just took my teas

    I read you have 10 years of experience, so you didn't have to take the TEAS back then. Students who were admitted to nursing schools in spring '08 and after have to take it to be admitted. It stands...
  11. I would like to be a nurse

    I think Paco is right about men tending to choose ER and Trauma over other units, probably because it's more interesting to them, and everything else being equal, men are real assets in ERs because...
  12. No problem. Glad I could help.
  13. 2lroberts: I called the nursing counselor you talked to, and she verified that my course meets both lifecycle 1 & 2, and my college is not one of the neighboring schools. I also know of someone...
  14. Thanks a lot. I'll look into it and let you
  15. 2lroberts: i don't have the name of the counselor who answered my e-mail. i used saddleback's e-advice service (online counseling) and was told that my course would meet the requirement of lifecycle 1...
  16. @ 2lroberts Where did you hear that? You might have been misinformed. I know that they are not likely to acknowledge a pharmacology course that was taken somewhere else, but I do know of people who...
  17. @ Soon2BNurse: Yay, all my questions were answered! Thanks so much! It's good to know that part time work is possible. I can do without a full time job for two years, but I will have to work part...
  18. Thank you! :) I applied to Saddleback and Long Beach City, and I am going to apply to Cerritos, Cypress, and Golden West. Saddleback is my first choice because of the proximity to my home and because...
  19. @ AAnderson: Wow, thank you so much for all that information. All of it is really helpful! Please keep us updated on anything you want to share. It's really interesting to me to get a glimpse into...
  20. Hey, thanks for writing! I had already assumed nobody would ever reply to this post. Yes, you do have to apply in person. I don't know what the point is either. They didn't really talk to me about my...
