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

    Sheri257 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in California Nursing

    PMI is no big deal. And, IMHO, it's not worth putting 20 percent down or doing a piggy back loan either. On a $400,000 mortgage PMI runs about $30, maybe $40 a month....

  3. The Economic Realities of Trying to Get Into CRNA School: Is It Worth It?

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

    Ok ... I can see where this is going. I posted this thread for people like me who are starting from ground zero and trying to make prudent decisions about this issue. Instead, I've been judged,...

  7. Registry Nursing

    Sheri257 replied to ramsees4's topic in California Nursing

    Some registeries are cutting back on the experience requirements to six months since they're so short on nurses. But, you still need to get that experience first.

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

    Sheri257 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in California Nursing

    Well ... I made the mistake of following this same advice right before the crash of '92. It took years for the value of my first home to return to the price I paid for it. A negative equity situation...

  9. Registry Nursing

    Sheri257 replied to ramsees4's topic in California Nursing

    Registry in my area pays about $50 an hour, but there's no benefits.

  10. SO.CAL Kaiser Nurses: What is Kaiser Like?

    Sheri257 replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in California Nursing

    I just talked to a Kaiser recruiter for SoCal at our school's recent job fair ... new grad pay is $28 an hour for the Fontana and Riverside facilities. I don't know about other facilities but, it's...

  11. Getting hired as an RN EC grad

    Sheri257 replied to nurse1717's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It varies by facility and, they're not always forthcoming about their hiring policies. You're best bet is going to RN job fairs and asking the recruiters. Check with your local colleges because they...

  12. Best CA hospitals and places to live

    Sheri257 replied to RNS for Unity's topic in California Nursing

    The other problem with VA hospitals is that they don't have to comply with California staffing ratio requirements. So you can end up with more patients, unless you're working in ICU.

  13. speaking spanish & nursing in san diego

    Sheri257 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in California Nursing

    The only employer I know of that pays extra for speaking Spanish is state government. You have to take a test and demonstrate actual fluency in the language. They pay $100 extra a month if you pass...

  14. Up & Coming cali towns???

    Sheri257 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in California Nursing

    This is what we did: buy cheap in a fast growing inland town. Our house ended up doubling in value in just two years. But we researched various towns for 2-3 years before we bought. There are cheap...

  15. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

    Sheri257 replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas Nursing

    None taken. I lived in Texas for five years, btw. I guess that's why I've been interested in this subject. Anyway ... I will leave this debate to you guys now. Good luck in whatever endeavors you...

  16. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

    Sheri257 replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just FYI, here's Gov. Rick Perry's list of endorsements. http://www.rickperry.org/endorsements/ TNA's PAC is on the list.

  17. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

    Sheri257 replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas Nursing

    This thread is about only 2 percent of Texas nurses joining TNA. At 20 percent, or ten times the amount of membership, CNA isn't doing too bad in comparison. Maybe they could get more members if they...

  18. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

    Sheri257 replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not always ... It's important to remember that CNA only represents 20 percent of nurses in California. Yet, when they got the ratio law passed, this was for the benefit of all nurses in California....

  19. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

    Sheri257 replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas Nursing

    The point isn't to disunify anyone. The point is one of political pragmatism: which party is more likely to help nurses? TNA has supported Republicans and contributed to their campaigns. Again, I ask,...

  20. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

    Sheri257 replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas Nursing

    Which is why CNA is launching their own national organization. With the right leadership, partisan politics can work very well ... as proven by the California ratio law. Just about everybody knows how...

  21. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

    Sheri257 replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ok ... if working both sides is more productive ... and supporting Republicans is so great for nurses ... I notice that TNA supported Republican Rick Perry for Governor. He's been in office for over...

  22. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

    Sheri257 replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas Nursing

    Exactly. There are situations where lobbyists give money to both sides ... particularly corporate lobbyists who can afford to do so. But this often works best with obscure issues that don't get a lot...

  23. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

    Sheri257 replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way. You really think staying neutral would get anything done? Have you actually gotten a ratio law passed? Obviously not. This is totally naive and impractical. No...

  24. 30 unit Option

    Sheri257 replied to jdeez42's topic in California Nursing

    Here's a list of all of the accredited schools in California: http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/rnprgms.htm As far as I know, all of them have to offer the 30 unit option as well as LVN-to-RN transition...

  25. 30 unit Option

    Sheri257 replied to jdeez42's topic in California Nursing

    True but, until other states pass ratio laws (which seems unlikely)... why would you want to work in another state anyway? When you talk to travelling RN's they'll tell you about how high the patient...
