Hey everyone, I've applied to several ADN community college programs around Northern California for Fall 2011, including Hartnell College in Salinas. What are some of your experiences with this school's nursing program? Does this school have a good r...

@kbear09 I think you have a chance, but it will be close. Our class size was about 24 and a few days before the classes started, they called number 17 on the wait list to let her know she was in. How many students are they letting in this year? Good ...

Hello all, I just received an offer of acceptance into SFSU's RN to MSN FNP program in the Fall. Anyone in the same boat? I'm so excited. Any current or past students of this program out there? What has your experience been like? Anything to watch ...

I'm about forty minutes away by car. I live in the East Bay. I might take BART to school, if it's feasible :)

Hi BrujitaRN :) Yay, it's so great to meet a potential classmate. Congratulations!! Are you waiting on other schools too? SF State is my first choice. It's closest and cheapest

Hi all. I am a California new grad RN and am currently in the process of endorsement to Texas. I have almost two months of SNF experience under my belt now, but am looking to go into acute care, with a particular interest in critical care. Does anyon...

Thank you both for your responses. I am staying in California until I have a definite job offer. The job market here is also pretty tight, but I'm giving it a few more months.

Just wanted to update everyone. My license was posted on the BRN website on July 4th and I received my license card in the mail on the 10th. Now time to find a job!

Same here. This is really frustrating. I scheduled my test two weeks after graduation so that I could go job searching right away. My classmates are all getting their licenses already, even though I took mine way earlier. I'm happy for them, but I...

Hi, nursejng. I didn't know what nursys was, but I looked it up and searched my name. It's not there yet either. Congrats on passing :)

Hello! I am in a similar situation. I took the NCLEX-RN on the 13th in California. My school's website read that transcripts had been sent, the PVT gives me the good pop-up, but my license hasn't shown up on the BRN's website yet. Several of my class...

I signed it and shared it. The petition help increase awareness of the issue, at the very least. Thanks for posting it!

LOL. The Director of our nursing program has his ears gauged. My classmate does too and he just wore plain, semi-discreet ones throughout our clinical rotations and no one had any issues with it. And regarding taste, to each his/her own, I guess. Wh...

Thanks! I am Yeah, from what I remember I got the letter in the mail relatively close to the deadline. Good luck! I hope you get in!! If not, keep on trying :)

Hello! Why yes, I got accepted there and also at my first choice school, Contra Costa College, which is about 10 minutes away from me. So, I had to decline going to Hartnell (which is more than 2 hours from home), but it sounds like a great program. ...

When we eat lunch, please try to face away from my plate when you talk. The flecks of your saliva flying onto my food kinda takes away my appetite. K, thanks.

Talking crap about the teachers on the first day makes you look bad. Don't think that I will not be as successful or that I'm immature just because I'm younger that you. You are an awesome buddy and I'm glad we'll have clinicals together! You are so ...

I was walking in the Nursing Dept. hall of my school with a fellow member of the La Raza Student Union after our weekly meeting. I see that the lottery results were posted on the bulletin board and tell him that I need to stop and check this list rea...

Thanks! Yeah, the budget cuts are hitting us really hard in California.

Hey. Stop teasing her! LOL.

Thanks misstekaboo! Orientation is on May 12. Maybe by then I'll get accepted to a closer school, but if not, I have to rent a room close to the school. Either way, I am so glad that I got into any school at all! Looking forward to hearing more grea...

Thanks NBB2013 :)

It's an ADN program. It may be easier for me to attend San Joaquin since it's much closer, so I'm going to wait and see what my options are. I'm hoping to get into Contra Costa which is only ten minutes away from my house. Thanks so much!

Thanks VannVann2008!!
