1. Newly employed ADN nurses please read!

   Jasmijn replied to AlexFutureMD's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   Nearly all the job openings I came across said "BSN preferred" and some required it. I only found a few (out here in Southern California) that didn't explicitly state that. Some of my classmates...

2. How hard is it really to get a 4.0 in Nursing school

   Jasmijn replied to BenTram's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   Depends on the school. I know people at other schools that have done it or come close. At LA County College of Nursing, it can't be done. I talked with one of our instructors after graduating about...

3. Army new graduate board for FY2012

   Jasmijn replied to Journeyman's topic in Government, Military

   The Reserve components (of all branches, I was told by a USNR nursing recruiter) will only accept a BSN. So if you're an ADN nurse (like me!) who had hopes of getting back into the reserve forces, you...

6. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

   Jasmijn replied to Drea1713's topic in California Nursing

   Not trying to scare you off but I repeat what others have said: County's program is hard. We're waiting to see if it's harder than it needs to be or whether we'll be grateful for what we've been...

   Jasmijn replied to MyraMarie's topic in Retired Nurses

   Our school has a unique design that we have just been able to resurrect and reorder for the current graduating class. I'll email you pictures

8. Who wears a nursing cap?

   Jasmijn replied to raincitynurse's topic in General Nursing

   I'm with you, Raincitynurse! I don't think they should be required any more but for those who want to reflect the tradition of this proud career, it should be allowed. My mother worked as a coder in a...

9. Love those Nursing Caps..

   Jasmijn replied to NIghtshift LPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Out of the 33 women graduating in our class this month, 14 wanted caps. Our school has a unique design that students used to order through school. When it became optional in 1991, very few took the...

10. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    Jasmijn replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, I did forget to mention: GI Bill is paying for most of my nursing school expenses -- all the tuition, plus a stipend every month! Whoo hoo Check into that, as well. You're probably qualified...

11. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    Jasmijn replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely not too late! We have several people in my class of 48 or so who are over 40, and at least a third of the class is >30 y.o. They are doing just fine, and all of them have various...

12. Los Angeles County School of Nursing?

    Jasmijn replied to erict's topic in California Nursing

    4 days a week; 2 lecture & 2 clinical. All days start at 7 am, but end at different times. I'm told clinical days get longer each semester: now we get out at 1 pm, but 4th semester is there till...

13. How many of you got into nursing school with the first try?

    Jasmijn replied to heartbeats's topic in California Nursing

    I live in Los Angeles, not OC, so these may be inconveniently far for you. The 2 I applied to were the LA County College of Nursing and Mount St Mary's College Accelerated BSN. Here are their web...

14. How many of you got into nursing school with the first try?

    Jasmijn replied to heartbeats's topic in California Nursing

    I applied to two rather unusual programs and got into both on the first try this year. One has a point system based on the grades you earned in the core classes ONLY (so your grade in Anatomy counts;...
