Just wondering if anyone had any experiences with Vanguard University in Costa Mesa? I am thinking about going there for my RN-BSN and would like to hear any stories, tips or advice from present and past students.

Hi to All in California, I'm scheduled to take my test on Feb 23, 2010 and I would like to know how long did it take for you to receive your official pass/fail results? I read on ncsbn.org that one can obtain quick results in 48 hours, but from what ...

I have been a RN for going on 4 years and I have been in the medical field in some way or another for the last 10 years. I have worked at the same hospital for the last 4 years on a medical floor on the night shift. My aspirations are to transfer dow...

Save your back! The patient is a 2 year old amputee, she should know how to help herself out out bed by now. We are there to help them to be discharged and go home with functional independence. I had a 60 year old patient who wanted the staff to wip...

I think the lab tech probably felt threatened when he/she found out that the nurse had drawn the blood. Last time I read, it was within our scope of practice to draw blood! "Us nurses" are glad to have lab techs come around and get a sample, but if I...

Good luck BettyBoop01! Just think positive thoughts and take some deep breaths :)

Where I work, we have a MD charting room and a nurses charting room. There are also plenty of computers around the nurses station for MD's. So, I would say no, I would not give up my seat for a doctor if I was in the middle of charting on my patients...

I'm sitting at work reading this post. All I can do it laugh and hope this is a JOKE!

Hi everyone, I would like to know what is the expected hourly rate for a new grad, specifically in Orange County where I expect to work. I have looked at many hospitals in the area website, but they do not post an expected salary. I'm just curious ab...

Oh, wow! I was fortunate enough to get my results 3 days after testing and I received my license in the mail this week. Have you tried the "trick" yet? I would also try calling the CA BRN to see if your file is complete. Good luck

WOW.. Your wait was short and sweet!! Does your state participate in quick results? Best of luck

Hi AORN, When I tried to do the "trick" I answered No for "having taken the NCLEX before even though I had taken it.I stillgot the pop up. I think it works either way. Good luck!:)

I just woke up and looked at CA BRN and my name and number showed up!! Its official, I am LatanyaMay2006, RN:yeah::yeah::D:D:):) The trick does work!!!! Happy Friday and Congrtats to all!!!!

hisssweetcheeks..We are in the same boat. I tested on 2/23/10 and my test shut off at 75 also. I had about 10 SATA's, 4 meds, lots of infection control and prioritization. I tried the trick and got the "good" pop up. Although it did decrease some of ...

Thanks Caliotter3! Now here comes the hardest part, waiting...

Congrats kemshara!!!! :balloons::ancong!:

I called in once last year because my mothers sister passed away and I did not feel emotionally ready to go back to work after the funeral, also wanted to keep an eye on my mom because she had recently lost her mother also. I called in, giving the st...

$28 an hour sounds about right if you are a new grad with no experience! I would think its a little low if you have a couple of years of experience under your belt

Hey Theton....... let us know when you find out! I take boards on 2/23 and I feel like I want to poop and vomit,lol. Good luck and congratulations.

Move to get your experience then you can come back to Cali! Good luck with everything Kcampos. :)

Congrats jefang5!! I'm nervous too, even though my big test is a month away. We did come a long way and we can finally say we are done :)

I graduate on 12/18 and I must say I am so HAPPY that my journey in nursing school has finally come to an end! Now its time for me to cut my strings as a nursing student and step into the role of a professional nurse. I will be starting my job on a m...

All schools are required to disclose any criminal events to students. You can go to lasc.edu and look at the report from last year. Personally, I do not think you will have a problem. Your class is on saturday, early in the morning. Its just my guess...

I think LASC has a bad rep because of the area that it is in. I did not graduate from the nursing program there, but I took most of my science prereqs. I learned so much in these classes. One of my former class mates transfered from there program bec...
