  1. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  2. Horrific Write Ups? Has it ever happened to you?

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to NonieJuice's topic in General Nursing

    I would get on that and document everything! I'm going through bogus write ups of my own. I was harassed and the guy turned around and made me look like the bad guy. That was the first write up, the...

  3. CSU Los Angeles School of Nursing (CSULA Fall 2011)

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to Mr. Suave's topic in California Nursing

  6. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    Born and raised in southern California. The only benefit I see in California is that I am an hour away from the city, the beach, the mountains, the lakes, the valley, and the desert. Other than that...

  7. Community College? You must be stupid.

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I like the optimism that everyone thinks a job will land right on there lap after graduation from their programs. Must be nice cause my area sucks and is over saturated. I think that again, depends on...

  8. RN or BSN? Help!

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to amymatey's topic in General Students

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to Mr. Suave's topic in California Nursing

    Your pre req is fine. Your over all GPA made up for it. As far as volunteering, don't waste your time. If you already have healthcare experience and have verification for it then you will only get 3...
