I hate to say it but I am your future, as I went in as a new grad in med surg, moved on to tele and now wanting to go into OB before I start grad school. I work for the top paying hospital network in California and I am having a hard time getting in...

Am I the only one?? Hello all! I recently started a new grad program in a 515 bed medical center in Southern California. I'm 3 weeks in (Medical-Surgical Unit) my orientation and I am beginning to feel that new grad anxiety, realizing how much I am ...

Graduated June 11, pinned on June 12th. Got married, went on honeynoon and now time for the NCLEX Aug 6th! Had a job offfer before graduation and I'm in California so best advice, keep your eyes open before the sun rises (get it?) :)) best wishes!

So you take the NCLEX and around the same time, your status changed so we can assume it had something to do with your results. Do not worry! If you failed the test, it would cancel your interim permit. When you pass the NCLEX, it does not "cancel" yo...

I started in 2012 and just graduated June 12th. It's a very good program and they are a little aggressive when it comes to preparing your for the ultimate exam, the NCLEX. A few things that I wish I knew before I started. 1.Each semester, you will h...

Yea it blatantly say's "I have applied to LACC, LAVC and Glendale Community College AS Nursing Programs. I was accepted to all of them for the upcoming semester. "

Hello everyone... for those of you that have applied, have you received any information yet? I did an online webcam/question session but haven't heard anything since then. I wonder what happens next.

JennyandPups, I am currently a second semester RN student, so I honestly don't know too much about Glendale Adventist's New Grad program. The internship starts mid-summer. Glendale Adventist has a great reputation, as it is a Seventh Day Adventist ho...

Aww, well good for Patrick. I almost forgot about this post! I really wanted Critical Care but I got the Med-Surg internship, which might really be best for me since it covers so much. Know of anyone else?

Anyone?

Most of the people I have talked to have at least a 3.4 GPA in all their courses. But that's not a lot of people given the fact most don't talk about their GPA's. I had exactly 3.4. Also, TEAS is very important. I got a 82% which is pretty good, cont...

I'm a RN student and can't help you but man oh man does that sound great!

I got accepted may 17th and orientation started June 11th... class started 7 days later. I just wrapped up the summer intersession on Thursday and can't believe how fast this all happened. Its not supposed to be easy but I didn't find it incredibly h...

Anyone still waiting, or have you moved on or accepted another program?

Glendale Community College : Application there you go!

I just started my nursing program 2 weeks ago and yes, it isnt easy but it isnt unbearably hard either. Even though I havent eaten the meat and potatoes of nursing school yet, I have experience in heavy workload classes. My youngest is 9 months and m...

Orientation was nice, very informative. At first everyone seemed so tense but after the prof warmed us up, it was more relaxed. Nice diverse group of people. And honestly, yes it will be a lot of work, but I welcome it!

I've never heard of all these new grad programs before I started nursing school. Is this a new trend in an attempt to hire/train new nurses for the shortage or has this been going on for some time?

Hey, some peoples paychecks might be as low as $2000, but you don't know their financial situation. Some may not have rent to pay or loans to pay off. We can all dream as big as we want. Just don't say you're going to buy a mansion. Lol I pretty much...

Everytime I see a New RN grad program, they require BSNs. It's a little dissappointing.

So you focus on the flaw I'm my post and offer no help, no insight at all. Okay there is no shortage........ did that help answer my question?

Thanks. I have lost weight before, many of times. But after having two babies in less than 2 years, my body is just, jacked up. I always had a hard time keeping weight off, but now, it's so hard! So, no more excuses, I simply cannot eat like everyone...

Vikont, while I understand your arguement, it sort of ticks me off when people like you, who are going to a community funded college, where a lot of people on financial aid, welfare recipents, probation work study programs, go to college. Imagine how...

How did you do it, GrnTea? That is amazing. I need to lose exactly 85 lbs. The good thing about being a fat nurse, or proir fat nurse, is knowing both sides of the spectrum. It is hard, no one wants to be fat. Not all fat people stuff their mouthes w...
