    Prereqs Done....Now What?

    lrobinson5 replied to DoingGodsWork's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pregnancy and Critical Care Nursing

    lrobinson5 replied to rach2103's topic in Critical Care

    Getting into the nursing program

    lrobinson5 replied to HardWorknGurl's topic in General Nursing

    You can retake a class a max of 3 times. While a university might count a retake against you, a nursing program most likely won't. On your transcript I'm not even sure if it still shows the 'F' or...

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    I think it might have to do with where you live because Riverside is more popular. Probably by zip code, but I am not positive. I think everyone will move to Riverside once the new building opens up....

    I think the alternate list is randomly generated. Maybe they give out X # of acceptances and past that they do random selection? I know that 5% of the spots are based off of random selection but I...

    lrobinson5 replied to Quark09's topic in General Nursing

    My husband pays I believe $80 a month for our family of 4 through his job at Verizon wireless. The insurance is crap though, we will probably change it to Kaiser (the one we have now is anthem). You...

    Why is CA Nurse's Association supporting Nikki Diaz?

    lrobinson5 replied to GoodNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, I don't think the nurses association is non-partisan, so they obviously will do whatever they feel will be in their best interest. I know they strongly backed Jerry Brown and ran ads against Meg...
