Has anyone taken Biology 20 as opposed to two semesters of Anatomy & Physiology within the Los Angeles Community College District? I say the district at large, because I have attended Valley, Pierce, Trade-Tech and Mission - and I am willing to ...

Hey y'all. I have my boards on election day (November 6th) and since all states are different, I would like to hear about Cali CNA's and their experiences. So, tell me all about it... I'm excited and nervous...

Hello. I applied for LASC RN program for Fall 2013, back in March (I believe). I took the TEAS V on the 9th. Any other applicants out here? Anyone been accepted already?

My BSN program begins 8/22, so a decision even on 8/31 does not allow me to remain in the program. California is unlike any other state. Of course I will pursue my degree. I am dual enrolled ADN and BSN. I just wanted the government that I give so ...

Well, I guess I'll drop my BSN program ~ school starts 8/22, about 6 weeks before they will decide. That's kind of crazy that the decisions would be made in September when many California CSU programs begin in August. Also I wish I had seen this th...

Are NALS and NRP the same thing? Or are they similar? I know what they stand for, however I cannot really find NALS courses in my area, just NRP. Please advise.

Yes, if at all possible go the route suggested. I am actually doing the same thing: finishing 4th semester of ADN, and bridging online RN-BSN (concurrently), both public schools. Tuition "free" at the ADN program. I pay per nursing course ($275/cr...

I heard $27, but the market in LA is hard. Take what you can get, unless you are a shoo-in somewhere else.

JC/CC is $46/credit. $158/credit? Yikes I pay that for CSUDH.

Meither... No gremins, ET, Fast times, American Pie, Saw (series) and *gasp* Titanic...

Awwww, I hope they change it to Labor day, at least coming sooner! lol

The hospital I work at takes new grads wherever they can. For that I am thankful. New grads need jobs too...

Anyone accepted? I am starting the BSN program this summer. Anyone else? Can anyone who is presently attending provide some insight?

Haha, in my hospital the charts are paper and could be anywhere...

I'd do my own resume. I've never gotten an interview or a job from a resume that someone else created on my behalf. In fact it was a waste of my money when I didn't have a large amount of disposable income.

Is SMC one of the schools that was awarded the opportunity to confer Bachelor's degrees??? And even if they can award bachelors degrees, doesn't mean they confer BSNs... Also, i believe SMC has a partnership with either UCLA or CSUDH ~ you can bridg...

No doctors offices, clinics, etc in your area? I am greatful to live in Southern California, where everyone has a chronic health condition or is always pregnant ~ a million little mom/pop clinics within a 50 mile radius...

*waving* Me too! Except my ADN is only $512 a semester and CSUDH (Rn-BSN) is going to be about 3k/semester. So my total nursing education should only cost good old Governor Brown about $11-16K

Huh? But then again, I remember you typing something about California nursing programs requiring CNA - which is false, well at least in LA County...

Not locked yet??? hmmmm

I concur. I was fluent in German, upon my return to the US and found that being on the West Coast, my linguistic ability did me little good. However, knowing German made Spanish easier with all those fun feminine/masculine/neutral rules and such ~ ...

It might increase your marketability... It may not. I have an AA in Spanish (not a minor, earned with 3 other degrees) and I live in California (SoCal) and it hasn't done me a bit of good. No one cares, because I do not look Latina (because I aint,...

You're lucky - California doesn't participate in quick results... Never understood why people in states that have quickresults still freak out when they will have some semblance of their status in 48-72, whereas in CA we wait till the "wonderful peop...

As of late, I have blocked a couple of members - they are too sarcastic and narrow minded for my tastes. I come here to be moderately entertained and informed. I learned the hard way to never ever (even when posing my own original thoughts) ask fo...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the time taken to respond.
