Hello I interviewed with Centinela Hospital in Inglewood and was wondering if anyone knew what their hiring process was. The Manager / Charge RN that interviewed me told me at the end of the interview that HR takes about 2-3 weeks to proces my paperw...

Hello all This is the end of my fourth week of Nursing school and even though I am stressed and my eyes are burning from reading so much, I am LOVING it!!! Can anyone recommend any "pocket" medical terminilogy and or Lab Values books or "quick refere...

Hi nep1980 I have 2 careplan books that I don't like that much. Can you tell me the complete name or isbn number for the Davis careplan you are using. I tried looking it up just under "Davis" and was getting a bunch of stuff. Thanks a bunch

Hi We just finished our nursing skills class and now the next section we start next week is Nursing Fundamentals. I know each Nursing program varies but can someone tell me the major differences between the Skills class and Fundamentals class. I'm aw...

It was 3 semesters ( year & a half) when I applied but for me it ended up being 2 semesters ( 1 year). I guess it depends what date you apply. The waitlist goes based on your application date-unless they have changed things. Also it depends how m...

Hang in there. If you get interrupted then go and study in the Library, park or anywhere that is not close to the people that distract you. If YOU really want this then Buckle down on your study time and put your social life on hold-or atleast manage...

Hi Call the Health Sciences Office at SMC and see if you can speak to a counselor. Maybe they can give you more information. Basically I found out about it 3 weeks ago, right after I started the program. I wish I had known during the waiting period (...

I'll look into to RN notes thing too. Maybe our school bookstore has some Thanks

notmanydaysoff would you be offended if i asked it you could pm me a copy of yours, so i can build of off that? thank you!

Thanks for you replies. Appreciate it!!!

Our school told us to get 5.5". Maybe just get a bigger size and return the one that you don't end up using or just keep both since they are cheap. Mine cost only $5

Please correct me if I'm wrong or missunderstanding your question. This is how I do it: 1 ft = 12 inches, 12 divided by 8= 1.5 inches. 3/8th of a foot would be 3 times 1.5 inches= 4.5 inches. 3 ft= 36 inches 3/8 = 4.5 inches 40.5 inches

I used to get all new books and then I wised up. This time I got all my books on Amazon for Fall. Most used some new (usually when it's a better deal then us or comes with a CD). I just make sure that it's the right edition and has minimal marks/wea...

Not sure if you will be ready by sunday. Maybe if you take a pain medicine that morning it might make it tolerable. On the other hand you may be fine by then too. It varies for everyone but on average, I was told 4 days. I however, not only had the ...

I start next month and had the orientation in June. The 1st 8 weeks is skills lab, then after that we go to hospitals inplace of skills lab. If you know of any current students in the program or are taking classes in the same building, maybe you can...

If you are currently enrolled in summer session and have paid a student health fee, go to the health office and see if they will do the titre for you. That's how I did it because my doctor too was no help.

All the staples I called around here don't sell them. Figures. L.A. sucks:down:

I took a 4 week Phlebotomy course last year. Took and passed the state exam. Got Licensed. Did a couple health fairs to get more practice after the externship. However when it came time to getting a job, most companies wanted 1 year minimum experien...

Nursing school is demanding. Students often report they are struggling with sleep due to the heavy course load, clinical placements, and studying requirements. My friend says she only gets about 4-5 hours of sleep a night while in NS. I can't fu...

I have heard that a specific teacher at my school plays favorites, so when I am in her class this fall, I plan/hope to keep a low profile and do my best JUST in case..... I too agree with some of the other posts that you need to keep your head down a...

Oh and I forgot to ask, how did you change your test taking skills? I'm starting in August. Enjoy your break!!!

Congratulations!!!!:up:

Hi Does anyone know of an atual store in Los Angeles/West LA/Santa Monica area that I can buy a stethoscope at? Preferably not more that $50. I like to try things before I buy them and hate returning. Plus I have a big head :) Thanks!

I feel much better now. I have to give kudos to all the moms and those that work over 15 hours/week. I'm very disiplined when it comes to studying, so based on most of your comments, as long as I stay on top of things and practice good time managemen...

Hi First of all, bless your heart for being so strong and brave to do such a difficult thing. I hope you have family or friends for support. How you want it handled is completely up to you. Once you have made a decision, then you let the various part...
