  1. Post High School

    I say yes to a university for pre-reqs. Nothing against community colleges. The education is pretty equal imo. I think the environment at a university is better. This is my experience anyway. People...
  2. CSUSB Fall 2015

    That is my school. Here is what I can tell you. The program is absurdly impacted and competitive. The lowest GPA of the most recent cohort was a 3.89. Winter is an easier time to get in than Fall (i...
  3. GPA

    I completely agree with pp. It really depends on your school. My school is impacted and therefore extremely competitive and a 3.6 would not get you into the program. Good
  4. ABSN Worth the Debt?

    Look into brick and mortar schools. My school does a hybrid rn to bsn and they only meet 3 times a quarter. The rest is online and it's way cheaper than 60k. Where I live a BSN is must but it depends...
  5. I screwed up... don't know what to do. I need advice.

    Congratulations! Good luck getting in! Do take this as a good learning lesson though for the future for the nursing program, the nclex and life. You need to know when too much is too much and how to...
  6. There have been changes to the nclex so definitely invest in a refresher course and studying. As PPSs said check with your BONUS it's different state to state. Good
  7. How to approach Managers?

    Before you say don't, hear my story. I will abbreviate to keep it short. My hospital is making a float team to keep from using registrty/agency nurses. They hired a bunch of new grad RNs as CNAs to...
  8. Another acute care vote. But what did you
  9. Is it normal to feel down before finals?

    Congratulations! Glad you feel like this was an encouraging experience. That attitude will get you through school, the nclex and
  10. I failed with 79 questions

    If you feel management was a problem i would get the LaCharity's priority book. Sorry that is definitely unpleasant stress while pregnant. Good
  11. nclex

    CA sucks. I took mine on a Tuesday my friend the next day. Her results posted Friday. Mine the NEXT Wednesday. Ugh definitely slowed by a holiday. So don't count yourself out until you get a letter...
  12. Retake nclex rn CA BON

    Did you do your clinicals the same semester as the
  13. michael linares simplenursing.com anybody?

    I like his stuff but it can't be your only resource. I advise watching a lot of his videos on YouTube first. If you feel like they work for you then try a
  14. I'M SO *******' HAPPY!!!

    Congratulations!
  15. Retake nclex rn CA BON

    Pearson will send you a ATT much faster than the board which is notoriously and horrifically
  16. ACCEPTED

    Congratulations!
  17. Azusa Pacific Online: Pre-Nursing Certificate

    That is very interesting. I went to Cal State San Bernardino and they took my online labs from South University. They accepted all of my credits from there. I completed an Allied Health
  18. Do you think this is too risky?

    You can do it! Once you start you will find your way. Ask lots of questions. Look for resources on campus (seminars, tutoring, writing centers, counselors) and use them! Once you dive in you will...
  19. LPN?

    I can only tell you my experience. For me my LVN did not help me get my first job. I did an LVN to BSN program so I would say it helped a bit to get into an RN program. It was not helpful with...
  20. get kicked off because of med error

    Great update
  21. Well, it's official!

    Congratulations
  22. CNA WHILE IN SCHOOL

    I can't lie being a CNA is labor intensive work and it means you are truly on your feet for 12 hours. BUT the experience is amazing. You will learn so much. I really believe every nurse should be a...
  23. Sharing faith at work

    I am blessed to have a new job at a religious based hospital that encourages spirituality and sharing faith and prayer with patients (within in reason, no be pushy or disrepectful). On the one hand I...
  24. Temple college LVN

    I'm sorry it was a horrible experience, I hope that things go smoother for you in the future! Hang in there, nursing school is a rough ride. Hopefully you'll make a few connections in your new class...
  25. The college network is shady, DO NOT GO THERE. I think ISU is fine, but I have friends who were going there when our BRN suddenly decided students here couldn't attend ISU anymore and they were left...
