  1. Spring Admissions in California Nursing Schools

    Califlower replied to SimplyMeL3's topic in California Nursing

    http://www.allnursingschools.com/ That's a good place to start... I know there are a couple of community colleges in the area. CSU Northridge only has an RN - BSN program... why not start with an...

  2. UCLA or USC-LAC Emergency?

    Califlower replied to NewtoNursing's topic in California Nursing

    I don't work at either facility. USC LAC is a county facility, and is part of the county health system here. I have heard good things about the UCLA new grad program, but nothing about county's. I...

  6. OR nurses in California -- do you scrub in?

    Califlower replied to Califlower's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you all for the info! I will definitely check into the VA hospitals. It was just hard, because we don't have an OR rotation while in nursing school, so we have very limited exposure. I think...

    Califlower posted a topic in Operating Room

    I originally posted this question in the California section, but perhaps this was the better place to post it, seeing as I didn't have any responses. I had a question regarding OR nursing in the Los...

    Califlower replied to Califlower's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you so much for your help... maybe someday NorCal would be an option, but as of now, I want to stay closer to family, in SoCal. Thanks again

    Califlower replied to CaliNurs06's topic in General Students

  11. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    Califlower replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    What I found in nursing school is that your fellow students are your number one support group. Butt heads with them and study together! Check out other resources such as tutoring, or perhaps the...

  13. Preparation for Psych Clinical

    Califlower replied to Califlower's topic in Psychiatric

    That's a really good advice! I think that goes also for other nursing fields as well as psych. ARNPsomeday, I don't have any psychological disorders that I know of (I hope!). While I am glad I am...

  14. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    Califlower replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Just an addendum on the stethoscopes -- I think cheap steths are great, but if you can, check to see if you can get the cushy ear rubber cover thingamajics. I think the Littmanns come with it --...

    Califlower replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    Califlower replied to Califlower's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for the responses! I was also wondering if there were anything specific related to the job of being a L&D nurse; is the work particularly strenuous? Is the stress level higher or lower...

    Califlower replied to Shell26's topic in Nursing Career
