    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in California Nursing

    Oh man, a TON. I was NEVER, EVER a textbook reader and before the program I decided to try to get into it, or at least force myself. I'm so glad I read the first weeks reading (5 chapters) prior to...

    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in California Nursing

    Wow, this thread I made is old! I actually ended up getting in, well I'm currently in the program I should say. I actually score REALLY low on their new "multi-criteria screening." If I remember...

    why does MT. San Antonio College RN Nursing wait list?

    barcode120x replied to steven626's topic in California Nursing

    What Squishy said about Mt. SAC pretty much hits the spot right on. As far as I know, the point of the waitlist was so that one wouldn't have to reapply every year/semester (correct me if I'm wrong)....

    What's the Best Way of Rating Nursing Schools in CA?

    barcode120x replied to barryantler's topic in California Nursing

    What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    barcode120x replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    You can't really blame them tbh. You can't expect people that are just starting the nursing program or any healthcare program to already have some type of hospital experience, or constantly seeing...

    barcode120x replied to bonestAx's topic in Men in Nursing

    Very interesting thread. First thing that comes up in my mind is Gaylord Focker from Meet the Parents ​haha. A lot of the nurses I work with especially in the ICU are 1) all straight and 2) have a...

    Only hospital jobs?

    barcode120x replied to db2xs's topic in California Nursing

    I believe it is. I was talking to my brother (who is a nurse) about highest paying nursing jobs and SF has the highest pay in California mainly because it's a big city. Or rather, a lot of the...

    Riverside Community College Spring 2013

    barcode120x replied to ChairmanX's topic in California Nursing

    I believe it's sort of a "wait list" to the actual acceptees meaning that those that are on the alternate list will fill in the spots of the "no shows" or people who decline the acceptance. Basically,...
