  1. I started an EMT course 2 years ago and my original goal was to become a firefighter, but the longer I worked as an EMT the more I realized that RN would be a better fit for me. I'm currently 21 and hopefully if my loans get approved ill be starting ...
  2. Movie set and concert nursing

    I have been a Set Medic for 4 years, I have done movies, shows, concerts, sports, and a bunch of crazy random things (hot dog eating contests etc.) I have seen RNs utilized at events, but it is not a full time gig, one company out by me is Simmons Am...
  3. What I am curious of is finding a good NCLEX book that is split in very distinct sections, that I can use as practice questions for the appropriate course/section of that course. I am doing well but thought this might be of extra help and wanted to k...
  4. People confusing and mixing titles

    Male RNs have it the worst, Patient: "Oh hi doctor" Male RN; "No mam I am your RN today" Patient: "why didnt you stay in school to become a doctor?" Male RN; "Being an RN allows me to have a life"
  5. That 47% number makes me happy because, like most of us here we are the 53% that get hired anyways
  6. I am in the nursing core portion at the Ontario campus, yes there are plenty of grads from here getting jobs. My honest opinion it is less about the school and more about who you are. As far as clinical sites there is at least 4-5 sites per term per ...
  7. End of CCT Nurses in California?

    Being an EMT on a CCT unit for many years in so cal, and knowing these IFT medics that will be filling these positions will be scary. I am assuming they are mostly pushing this because of the cost of a medic vs. an RN. It is weird that orange county ...
  8. Hospitals hiring BSN & Obamacare

    I wouldn't recommend a new grad ADN to come to California, along with the baby boomers there are tons(esp. So Cali) of Universities pumping out new grad BSNs
  9. How many men in your cohort?

    15-20 out of 50 or so
  10. Anyone that use ATI help me out?

    Hi guys, sorry if this is the wrong place for this. Just started first term nursing and was givin the ATI and paid for it and all and was wondering where I could find the ebook downloads for the books that go along with the modules, apparently they c...
  11. Anyone that use ATI help me out?

    Thank you!
  12. How to read and study nursing textbooks?

    I find it helpful to start with the chapter summaries and questions. Write the questions for the chapter down and search for the answers, makes it a little better and keeps your brain stimulated.
  13. Dropping out of Nursing School.

    Are you getting treatment yet? Dont give up yet, your condition may improve!
  14. Anyone go to West Coast University in LA?

    I currently am in the nursing program at the Ontario campus and it is a mirror of the LA, I believe. The way it goes is 1. HESI 2. Transfer in credits 3. Finish remaining general ed credits at university (keep in mind there isn't a wait list you are ...
  15. Oldest in cohort...feeling out of place

    I have a lady in my cohort that is in her 50s she is my favorite, she always brings everyone cookies.
  16. EMT-Basic (maybe?) during nursing school?

    I work as an EMT part time, and am in an accelerated BSN program. Problem I see is that I had been an EMT 2 years prior to starting so finding part-time work was easy, it is hard to come by a part time position that will hire a fresh EMT.
  17. The "Flirt"

    Of course there are exceptions, two nurses with non conflicting personalities would work just fine, I just think in certain circumstances it could be annoying being in the same profession. I prefer to keep work and personal life apart.
  18. The "Flirt"

    Simply put, opposites work better. Why would you want two people of the same profession together, its better to see things from someones non medical standpoint anyways.
  19. West Coast University Advice

    I am currently enrolled at the ontario campus and thus far, aside from the tuition it has been a great experience. It does not take it easy on you like some will assume on here, it is a lot of hard work in small terms, but it flys by. I enter nursing...
  20. Do men and women go into nursing for different reasons?

    I'm a male in nursing school. I'm becoming a nurse because my experience as an emt has seen the worst and the best of nurse some are just uninformed and negative and some are positive and know everything they need to know sadly there are more negati...
  21. I'm currently starting a RN BSN program and have been working 1.5 years and will be there 4 years when I'm done. I'm hoping to come out and get a new grad position in ED or ICU and was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and how it has h...
  22. Hi I'm doing pre reqs for my nursing program and came across great deals on international textbooks compared to the american versions from what the descriptions say the only difference is that they are soft cover and have a different image on the out...
  23. West Coast University - BS Nursing

    Oh you should also go back and read some of the funny things you said that are rumors that you made seem like facts. Also since you said multiple times people who go here can't handle lives may I ask if you have ever had an important role in any heal...
  24. West Coast University - BS Nursing

    I only make what i can of what your saying because all of your responses are based upon rumor and assumption. All of your ranting about this school that school, this price that price, this quality that quality, isn't that all opinion and assumption? ...
  25. West Coast University - BS Nursing

    you have been accepted to a couple? nice! now how many programs have you attempted? Sounds like this hatred story is starting to unfold lol. Guess thinking others have it easy by paying a lot for school makes it easier falling out of multiple regular...
