  1. District RN vs. Special Ed RN

    Elle71 replied to Elle71's topic in School

    Thanks for the feedback. This validates my concerns with the regular Ed. I would definitely get more support from the Special Ed teachers and the Paras. I wouldn't get phone calls for silly stuff...

  2. District RN vs. Special Ed RN

    Elle71 posted a topic in School

    Help! I just received two job offers, and I need to make a decision soon. For the district RN position, I would be the only RN for 7,000 students. They outsource health screenings and have LVNs or...

  3. Riverside Community College (RCC)

    Elle71 replied to natalie51196's topic in California Nursing

    Whiteskyline, I do know RCC will prepare you well as they have high NCLEX pass rates. One thing you may want to consider is what hospitals are you interested in working at when you graduate? Serving...

  4. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    Elle71 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    Congratulations lvsk8betty on the pregnancy! I have a 17 mos and 8 year and I would love another one, but I start the nursing program next month, and can't risk it. I'll be 40 when I graduate, so I...

  5. No one thinks I can do it!

    Elle71 replied to MKO90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BTW, a good babysitting option you may consider is finding a stay at home mother you know in your neighborhood. You can offer her a lot less than daycare, for doing something she already does all...

  6. No one thinks I can do it!

    Elle71 replied to MKO90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't feel going to school is putting your baby on the backburner. True, you will spend countless hours studying. But as a full-time student, I spend much more time with my one year old than I...

  7. Don't give up on the SDSU Accelerated Baccalaureate

    Elle71 replied to suzywoo's topic in California Nursing

    I was one of the student's SDSU originally accepted. They offered us a spot at the traditional BSN on campus, which I am going to take. From all indications, San Diego is not going to have another...

  8. Question about waitlists...

    Elle71 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By junior college, I am referring to public school ADN programs. Private schools have their own set of rules...you should just call and ask. It is harder to get a hold of someone at the junior...

  9. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    Elle71 replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    Try getting a rolling backpack from Costco. They have satisfaction guarantee, which means you can exchange it if it doesn't live up to your

  10. Incoming GPA for ADN programs?

    Elle71 replied to Mideast100's topic in General Students

    Every schol is different. One school I looked at with a point system straight up told us that B students will not get into the program. But some schools have a waitlist only, that means f you meet...

  11. Torn about nursing school

    Elle71 replied to ChrissyM82's topic in General Students

    There is no way the could require you to have a specific laptop. Demand for a list of specs required, and I bet you that any late model laptop is covered. I got my laptop for $399. Just comb...

  12. Question about waitlists...

    Elle71 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school is different. Usually if a junior college says they have a wait list, the list is not dissolved. A wait list is different from an alternate list, which is dissolved once class starts....

  13. Online Programs A Scam?

    Elle71 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure they have on-site clinicals. There are a few schools that are blended online and onsite. Just check out their accreditations and see if they are listed on the BRN

  14. No one thinks I can do it!

    Elle71 replied to MKO90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started my nursing prereqs last August when my son was only 6 mos old. Take it from me, you can do it. I quit my full-time career to make this career change...that was most scary because I was...

  15. Taking Chemisty fall 2010

    Elle71 replied to SkyMeadow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a combine organic and biochem class. I found the biochem part much harder. The best thing you can do is go to the chemistry tutor lab every week. Something that could take hours to...

  16. West Coast University vs. Saddleback Jr. College

    Elle71 replied to calstudent1967's topic in California Nursing

    The tuition at WCU scares me. I would be afraid to be left with that much debt, when not all new grads are getting jobs that quickly. There must be other community colleges you could consider. If...

  17. Don't give up on the SDSU Accelerated Baccalaureate

    Elle71 replied to suzywoo's topic in California Nursing

    80sami, Have you found any info about any vanpool, commuter service? I talked this all over with my husband, and he doesn't think I can handle the commute...I'd be driving one hour from Rancho...

  18. Riverside Community College (RCC)

    Elle71 replied to natalie51196's topic in California Nursing

    Eliymo...I will be applying at all the local schools, but RCC is my best shot because it is not strictly GPA. It factors in TEAS, which is a bonus for me. My situation is that I was accepted into a...

  19. Questions and concerns going to school at 36

    Elle71 replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't have to take 12 units, 3 classes is fine to get you back into school. Just always keep the science classes going, so you are track. You have plenty of time to finish your general ed...

  20. How to Pay for 2nd Degree?!?!

    Elle71 replied to jmh02s's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked into entry-level Masters at a public college? Here in California, the tuition for a masters at Cal State is reasonable, although very competitive for that exact reason. If the ABSN...

  22. Riverside Community College (RCC)

    Elle71 replied to natalie51196's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks Eliymo. I took the TEAS in April and scored over the 90 percent upper cutoff, so I am feeling pretty confident. But I got a B in A&P and I know there are those that have all A's for...

  24. Riverside Community College (RCC)

    Elle71 replied to natalie51196's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks Eliymo, Everytime I think I can do the commute, I change my mind when I find myself sleeping in with my kids. 90 pts, I might be able to pull that off. I'm wondering if they breakdown the...

  25. Number of classes?

    Elle71 replied to KimGau's topic in General Students

    Saysfaa, I agree with you. But sounds like KimGau has made up her mind, and I don't want her to feel we are judging her, we only want her to do the best she can. Since I can't change her mind, I...
