    @malzi, no guarantee on getting SM in the spring because of their random assignment. Keep that in mind. Temecula isn't bad, the equipement is fine but I don't know about a comparison with the SM...

    gc1010 replied to sarah-V's topic in California Nursing

    gc1010 replied to sarah-V's topic in California Nursing

    You can work pretty heavily the first semester as there are only 9 units and the classes are easy. I haven't started clinicals but everyone seems to say that the hours on that are all over the place...

    gc1010 replied to sarah-V's topic in California Nursing

  16. Job Offer Advice

    gc1010 replied to another_me's topic in General Nursing

    gc1010 replied to sarah-V's topic in California Nursing

    Also, keep in mind that the estimate provided by the school is only for 9 months so your expenses will at least be 33% more than what they are suggesting. But the cost for living look pretty accurate...

    gc1010 replied to sarah-V's topic in California Nursing

    I totalled everything that they have on the fee schedule and for the 6 semesters, units, books and fees it should cost 35,000 (about). That assumes the 750 for books every semester which you might be...
