  1. Cal State San Marcos, CSUSM, Accelerated, ABSN 2011

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

    Funny story. for some reason I am not on the email list and did not receive an email but got the acceptance letter today. It was a fun few days seeing everyone else get accepted with lower scores than...

  2. Okay, who *loves* their job, and why?

    gc1010 replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in General Nursing

    That PTO is your legal right. I don't know what state you live in but many state labor laws require that if you terminate an employee you have to have their final check available in 24 hours. That...

  3. Kind of fed up with things...possibly nursing in general

    gc1010 replied to JStyles1's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be a firefighter and worked 72 hours straight. That would leave me 4 days off but I never saw my family at all for the 3 days and it was hit or miss on whether we would get to sleep/wind...

  4. Kind of fed up with things...possibly nursing in general

    gc1010 replied to JStyles1's topic in General Nursing

    Are you nuts? How long is your shift? I can only guess that it is 12 hours, if you factor in 8hours of sleep there are still 4 hours left. You may have a huge commute which eats time. If that is the...

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

    mimizan: I have no idea how many rounds they have accepted because I don't think they can talk about it (?) but I would guess that they had a round in january and after that I don't know. They do have...

  6. 100% on my exam and it wasn't exciting... :(

    gc1010 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    What's on the test? Was a question, "Write down the unified field theory that has eluded Stephen Hawking." If not then the test was about the nursing field which is well documented and covered for...

  7. I just failed nursing school

    gc1010 replied to jrsygirl's topic in General Students

    You seem to have two issues going on; you have lost your faith and you are not passing a class. On the first point you didn't lose your religion, it lost you. For whatever reason you realized that it...

  8. Ages of male nursing students?

    gc1010 replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

  9. Cal State San Marcos, CSUSM, Accelerated, ABSN 2011

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

    I went to an info session which was really informative. I learned that you only need the prenursing core to be considered, so you don't need to worry about having the additional requirements finished....

  10. Cal State San Marcos, CSUSM, Accelerated, ABSN 2011

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

    If life really hands you a bad hand get a job at the Goodwill. They hire a lot of full time, regular scheduled employees and you are eligible for killer medical coverage after 90days that is super low...

  11. Cal State San Marcos, CSUSM, Accelerated, ABSN 2011

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

    A number of reasons. At the time a had a financial venture which required my attention, I have a baby to coordinate and I was admitted to temecula and not san marcos. So I figured that I could wait...

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

    I applied in early february and haven't heard anything but my application was a resubmission because I didn't accept for the spring 11 cohort. The first time I applied, which was actually years ago,...

  13. I really screwed up on an interview

    gc1010 replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Interviewing is an art. If you live in CA then you can go to the offices that do unemployment and they have free interview classes. Most states should have something similar. You know all interviews...

  14. Anyone apply to the CSU San Marcos ABSN Program?

    gc1010 replied to Riy2bNurse13's topic in California Nursing

    I am disappointed that they only have a temecula cohort for fall. I think the major concern for the applicants, which keeps the average down, is the cost. Similar programs that are state subsidized...

    gc1010 replied to Riy2bNurse13's topic in California Nursing

    colleagues.

  16. Anyone apply to the CSU San Marcos ABSN Program?

    gc1010 replied to Riy2bNurse13's topic in California Nursing

    I have a 37 also. Does your high score translate to an easier time in class than your 27 point

  17. Cal State San Marcos, CSUSM, Accelerated, ABSN 2011

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

    Does that mean she had to drop out? Of your cohort how many did not make it? Is there a contingency for not staying with the cohort? A lot of questions, sorry. My wife has a 9-5 kind of job that she...

  18. Anyone apply to the CSU San Marcos ABSN Program?

    gc1010 replied to Riy2bNurse13's topic in California Nursing

    years later here but the homepage now has the statistics for admitted cohorts and they seem to all be between 26 and 28 point

  19. Advice for TEAS V

    gc1010 replied to Forminsko's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Does it give you a break down of you percentages by section? (real TEAS does) review the areas you performed poorly on and ignore those you did really well on (90% right and higher). Also the science...

  20. Pre-TEAS assessment vs. actual TEAS test

    gc1010 replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if it is just your typing but you have a lot of gramatical errors in your post. The easiest way to improve your score is having a commanding level of understanding of English. Not only is...

  21. Cal State San Marcos, CSUSM, Accelerated, ABSN 2011

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

    Just wondering what the schedule is like once you are in the clinicals portion. If I get into the fall cohort my child will be 2 when the clinical round start. I am wondering how to arrange for child...
