PMHNP2023 RN

According to the advisors, I don't think that's an option.

One thing the board seems to be missing is that a Driver's License is a RIGHT (not a privilege as some people would have you believe...same goes for voting) , an RN license is a professional license.

Yes, most of it consists of deriving information from paragraphs.

The hospital knew about it because the company that did the background check messed up and reported it. I filed a dispute with the background company, they corrected the background report, and the Hospital, my employer, updated their file, I've be...

The hospital knew about it because the company that did the background check mistakenly reported the convictions that had been expunged. I filed a dispute with the background company, they notified the hospital of the dispute, and in fact the hospit...

I have this paper from a law firm titled:Is It Illegal for Employers to Discriminate? It's got some pretty interesting stuff, especially when it comes to people with drug and alcohol convictions. If it's not substantially related to the job, there i...

One thing that helps is getting the convictions expunged. It's just a simple piece of paper saying the charge has been dismissed, but for some reason hospitals treat that paper like gold. I was held up for a job in a hospital due to my background c...

Reading comprehension is really something you either have to know or you don't. It's not really something you can "learn" in a few weeks from a test prep guide. If the hurdle is because English is your second language, then I'd suggest taking a criti...

I'd think that if one fails the test three times, one should really think whether nursing is the right career choice. Wanting to be a nurse and actually having the mental fortitude and ability to be a nurse are two separate things entirely.

Another thing, the questions are weighted. From the explanation page that came with my score: Adjusted Individual Total Score: The adjusted individual total score is a function of the number of questions answered correctly divided by the number of qu...

For me, the math was the easiest part of the test. I got a 100% on it. A lot of the math questions are written in such a way that you can rule out 2 or 3 of the answers without actually doing any calculations. For example: What is 30.012 x 10.2321? A...

If you're taking the online class, you need to be a good self-learner. If you can't learn by looking at examples in a book and on websites and figuring out how to get from one problem to the solution (mathematically), then it may be a difficult clas...

I took v.4 too last June at Cal State San Marcos. I'm glad I finally got in, I did not want to go back and take v.5 after I got such a good score on v.4

That's interesting because my TEAS was 93.5% and in the 99th percentile as well. Maybe everything above a 90% was in the 99th percentile? It's all about points, and I figured that the best thing to concentrate on was the prenursing core, as you can...

If you think that most of my info is 99% BS, then fine, you can disregard it. But for those who chose to make educated decisions based upon reliable information, then they're free to do that as well. I will give you facts that are indisputable. I ...

Actually, most of the message was incomprehensible. I really can't get past the poor grammar and all the misspelled words. I really hope that any nurse who treats me can not only speak English, but read it and write it. p.s. and it's all good. I'm ...

Hopefully those millions of other people wont be fighting for the same new grad spot as you:eek:

That is some good advice. Kudos!

It's about helping others. But you have to GET A JOB and help yourself before you can help others. That's a basic fact of life, and one you should know as a wanna-be-nurse. Once you get your head out of the clouds, you'll see that I'm just trying ...

I will chime in with what I know from personal experience (I work in an ER, am about to enter nursing school, and know tons of nurses). New grad jobs are EXTREMELY hard to come by now. To give you an example, Scripps just had a new grad program, ov...

It would be really helpful if people who post mention what state they are from!

I think this thread is great. With all the negative threads on this forum regarding these matters, it's nice to see a thread where people show a little bit of hope. I had to do a Prop 36 class. After about 4 months, I ask the judge to modify my pro...

I have expunged 2 of my past misdemeanors. Total cost $120. I did it myself without an attorney. I work at a hospital and have had 4 background checks done, all showed up with "no record". I've spoken to people who do background checks, and if the...

I'd like to know what finally happens.

are the first semester of classes in Temecula? I thought they were in San Marcos, considering they are just upper division GEs. We'll find out August 8th. The email to register/apply to the school through CSU Mentor was sent out as well....here com...
