  1. Loma Linda or Chaffey College?

    Sheri257 replied to PTgirl1's topic in California Nursing

    Other than pre-algebra, that's pretty much the same courses you have to take to get into any nursing school. Chaffey is going to cost you a lot less than Loma Linda, which is private. Also, I believe...

  2. RN going to California, questions on pay and location.

    Sheri257 replied to RNcool's topic in California Nursing

    This is a link to BLS stats on what RN's make, on average, in various areas of California. It should give you some idea on the salary differences. Follow the links to healthcare practitioners where RN...

  3. NOW I'm in shock.

    Sheri257 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    a lot of states have these type of requirements in one form or another. the problem here, imho, is that the boards don't always give clear guidance as to the extent to which they will enforce and/or...

  4. NOW I'm in shock.

    Sheri257 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Since that link doesn't specifically mention EC ... http://www.mbon.org/main.php?v=norm&p=0&c=licensure/endorsement.html I would contact the Maryland BON and make sure this would apply to EC...

  5. Excelsior actually has been a blessing.

    Sheri257 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    We can argue about this until we're blue in the face but, the bottom line is: At least traditional grads don't have any trouble getting licensed. I mean ... seriously ... you can say some of the state...

  6. NOW I'm in shock.

    Sheri257 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That warning is still posted as a sticky in the Maryland section of this board: https://allnurses.com/forums/f152/maryland-nursing-links-133403.html That was posted as recently as December, which...

  7. freaking out! now what???

    Sheri257 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just about everyone will tell you that the first two years of nursing are the hardest. But, I also think a lot of it depends on where you work. There are employers who will cut short orientation and...

  8. Locals of North San Diego County

    Sheri257 replied to HarryPotter's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know about North San Diego County specifically but ... I am incredibly frustrated with Southern California hospitals that are phasing out pension plans. I mean ... how do you expect to retain...

  9. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

    Sheri257 replied to golfmontpoker's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    DO NOT let the mob mentality influence your decisions. It's a message board for crying out loud. Take it with a grain of salt. In the end ... just do what you want to do ... not what they want you to...

  10. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

    Sheri257 replied to golfmontpoker's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah ... I'm not sure why people went ballistic over the ... I don't want to be a regular nurse comment. How many threads have there been where people said they only became an RN to eventually become...

  11. why freud

    Sheri257 replied to hsieh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I totally agree. I've read a lot of Freud's writings and people tend to misinterpret what he said ... a lot. What I read in my textbooks often doesn't match what he actually wrote. Even when people...

  12. Corrections Vs. Psych Institution for the Criminally Insane

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Correctional

    So if you use kicks and punches in self defense, you can still get in trouble with the BON? What if you're working in a prison versus a criminal psych facility. Does that make any difference in how...

  13. Is Getting Into Nursing School Earlier Worth A Four Year Contract?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure yet ... but the hospitals are going to have to pay $33,000 per student to do this. So, I assume, that any buyout price tag could be pretty hefty if you wanted to get out of the four year...

  14. Tuition compensation in exchange for employment

    Sheri257 replied to Realmenwearscrubs's topic in General Students

    My school is doing this to get people off the waiting lists. Two hospitals are paying for everything but, in return, you've got to sign a four year contract. One hospital is a hellhole so, in that...

  15. southern cali roll call

    Sheri257 replied to sdskimmer's topic in California Nursing

    I'm a nursing student getting ready to graduate (finally) this year. I too am in San Bernardino County and live in the High Desert, but I work as a student extern "down the hill" in the San Bernardino...

  16. Is The Housing Bubble Going To Pop???

    Sheri257 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah, but you can still lose money. We bought our house for $150,000 and (at least for now) it's worth $300K. If I put that equity into a $400 or $500K house that's closer to coastal areas, my...

  17. Is The Housing Bubble Going To Pop???

    Sheri257 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in California Nursing

    Speaking of bubbles ... The April numbers are in. Looks like the market is slowing down even more: http://www.dqnews.com/RRSCA0506.shtm

  19. Recommend which college?

    Sheri257 replied to teek's topic in California Nursing

    Actually, if you're willing to drive ... I'd apply to every school within driving distance, then go with the one that accepts you first. Then, after first semester, you can transfer to the school...

  20. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    Sheri257 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    And you expect me to answer all of these questions with all of these personal insults? I don't think so. We may disagree, but I have NEVER personally insulted any of you. I'll wait until the...

  21. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    Sheri257 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was referring to the basic and intermediate EMT's that were accepted into the EC program.

  22. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    Sheri257 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you're referring to work experience as "clinical time," that's not entirely true. EC only requires the LICENSE. You don't have to work a day if you don't want to. That was part of the problem in...

  23. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    Sheri257 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That clinicals concurrent with theory are beneficial. Since EC doesn't have that, it's one the reasons California disallowed the program.

  24. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    Sheri257 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ok, so how many jobs would I have to take to get exposure to the following areas that I've already been exposed to in clinicals. Let's see: L&D, Peds, NICU, Med-Surg, Telemetry, Cath Lab, DOU,...

  25. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    Sheri257 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have to disagree with a lot of this ... I don't know how your program was run, but that's not the case in my program. For one thing, we've got to get re-checked off on all skills in fourth semester...
