  3. Questions on nursing schools and programs to take

    boojum replied to jdcandyman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    boojum replied to thebread's topic in California Nursing

    Hello, I am applying to the ABSN for January 2012 and am trying to decide between Sacramento and San Mateo. I currently live in the east bay, so would probably move closer to campus either way. Can...

    boojum replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

  8. Prerequisites at Peralta Community Colleges

    boojum replied to eastbay's topic in California Nursing

  9. Facebook almost cost me my job

    boojum replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, I guess I'm wondering why people think it's safe to post negative things on here if it's not safe on Facebook. I understand Facebook has a lot more identifying information, but I wouldn't think...

    boojum replied to eastbay's topic in California Nursing

  14. Am I setting myself up for failure?

    boojum replied to pinkpega's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I during the summer and it was fine. If your general ed. is pretty solid, you will not need too much time to study for the TEAS. If you feel shaky on math or english, then you will...

  15. Summer school anyone?

    boojum replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    boojum replied to shiver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you can do that. But if you go this route, just make sure the BSN program you are applying to will accept people for a second bachelor's degree. Most of the ones I've looked into do. The other...

    boojum replied to shiver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
