   sillywilly replied to sillywilly's topic in LPN to RN

   Thanks for the reply, you just made my day! I was not able to make it to the information session and was assuming that if anything, the points needed for the bridge program would be higher than the 2...

   sillywilly replied to ryanalice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I don't know how many community colleges are around your area, but check to see if they all require pre-req's for the pre-req's. If you can find any that don't require them, then check with the...

   sillywilly replied to RNHURT's topic in California Nursing

   Hi RNHURT, Sorry for the delay. 50 an hour will EASILY cover a 1 or 2 bed apartment in Culver City. I see them advertised around 800 a month. If your friend wants to work in Santa Barbara she could...

5. Culver city, Visalia or Santa Barbara

   sillywilly replied to RNHURT's topic in California Nursing

   I would say traffic is much worse in Culver City. Its pretty much in the middle of Los Angeles, and only a few miles away from the airport so the freeways are always jammed. I went to school in Culver...

   sillywilly replied to xoxo0414's topic in Nursing Career

   sillywilly replied to RNHURT's topic in California Nursing

   I don't know where Visalia is (central CA I think??), and have no idea about the hospitals, but between Santa Barbara and Culver City I would much rather live in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara is a cute...

   sillywilly replied to pyocola's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I worked as a Vet Tech for years before getting my LVN license. If you don't want to deal with people, that is probably not a good career choice for you. As a Vet tech you are going to be dealing with...

9. Is chemistry hard?

   sillywilly replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Chemistry was the WORST for me. The teacher was terrible! He had such a thick accent that no one could understand a word he said. I am bad at math, and that made it really hard for me. All of the non...

    sillywilly replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work at a pharmacy, and not only did they hire me on the spot (with no reference check or employment hx verification) they asked me to start working that second. I was a little thrown off...

    sillywilly replied to katiebry1031's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Congrats! Passing is all you can hope for with nursing school sometimes. It is so hard to balance your time in school. Yes, you always need to study because there is just so much material, but you...

    sillywilly replied to katiebry1031's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know you already took your test. How did it go? I usually give myself the day before a test off. I like to relax, eat a good meal, and catch up on sleep so I am ready to go the next day. If it is a...

    Just the other day I had a sweet little old man come up to me with tears in his eyes. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I am worried that if I accidentally tighten my Cpap straps too tight they...

    sillywilly replied to roemerr's topic in General Students

    I am in the same boat as you. I wish I had some advice to give, but I don't know how to get motivated either! I am taking my TEAS test on March 3rd and am so not motivated to study. I found excuses...
