  1. !HELP plz,male seeking advice on the whole career

    Bobmo88 replied to socalmark's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Welcome Mark, I'm also from So Cal! First of all, I think the first thing is to figure out what kind of programs you are thinking of applying to. I think you mean Pasadena City College when you say...

  2. Weird dream after getting acceptance letter :)

    Bobmo88 replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    I work as a technician and if I'm at work too much then I'll start having dreams about Doctors telling me to get a hold of the cardiologist on-call etc. hahaha. Congrats on getting into nursing...

  3. anybody here waiting to hear from Ventura or Moorpark College

    Bobmo88 replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in California Nursing

    They award the max points for scores of 80 and above for english and reading and 70 or higher for math and don't count the science so I think you did pretty good on the test. It is just tough because...

  4. Does it matter what college you go to for nursing?

    Bobmo88 replied to futurenurse97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know SDSU has a rep for being a party school but one of the traveler nurses I work with right now said he went there and he was so busy with nursing school he didn't have time to party over there. I...

  5. Lower GPA any chance at getting I'm?

    Bobmo88 replied to srosado77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on how competitive the programs are, what the criteria is for each program, and how well you did in the pre-requisites (which I think is the most important). I didn't have the best Pre-req...

  6. anybody here waiting to hear from Ventura or Moorpark College

    Bobmo88 replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in California Nursing

    Thank you! It was a complete surprise because they actually denied me at first but apparently some people declined admission because they got into other nursing programs so that opened a spot for me....

  7. I'm never gonna make it!

    Bobmo88 replied to dsy89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't mean to sound harsh but if you have that "I'm never gonna make it" attitude then you won't. I didn't have the best grades in my pre-reqs, got rejected to a few programs, got my application...

  8. anybody here waiting to hear from Ventura or Moorpark College

    Bobmo88 replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in California Nursing

    Good luck! I re-applied to Moorpark this semester (I had originally applied in the Spring of 2009 and would have started this semester but I didn't take the TEAS V by the specified date so they...

  9. Why did you become a nurse?

    Bobmo88 replied to guest042302019's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wanted to be a doctor initially but then when I started volunteering in a local hospital, I was able to see what nurses truly do. I ended up getting a job in the hospital that I used volunteer at. I...

  10. LACCD Pierce College won't take my cal state university Anatomy class!

    Bobmo88 replied to scionra's topic in California Nursing

    I did all of my nursing pre-requisites at community college but as a fellow Matador, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. The truth is that you really have to be careful to make sure the classes...

  11. What was your GPA when you got accepted into nursing?

    Bobmo88 replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3 year BSN Program 2.81 Pre-req GPA (all Bs except a C in Micro) and 3.4 Cumulative. It was a points based system so I basically had to have experience, have completed a previous Bachelor's, be a...

  12. Does being fluent=reading, writing, AND speaking?

    Bobmo88 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It varies from place to place. For the program I got accepted to, it was for Spanish specifically. You either had to have taken AP Spanish in high school (within 3 years), at least 3 years of High...

  13. Which route do I take? ADN vs BSN

    Bobmo88 replied to Zelda21's topic in General Students

    I don't know if your local ADN program has a wait list or a points based system but I would keep my options open. My application for my local ADN got withdrawn after I failed to take the TEAS V within...

  14. How did you get your hospital job???

    Bobmo88 replied to stigrl's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I got my first (and current) healthcare job at a hospital that I had volunteered at for a few years. Not only did I work in different departments but I also helped run the volunteer program as well....

  15. Accepted in Nursing school....any advice

    Bobmo88 replied to NSICU Clin Tech's topic in General Students

    I've worked as an ER Tech for over 2 years now and will be starting a BSN program in the fall. One of the travel nurses that I work with did a BSN program and worked as a CNA before he went to school...

  16. In need of advice, I watched a movie that is making me think?

    Bobmo88 replied to Ibukishim25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd be more worried about receiving an accidental needle stick from someone who was Hep C positive since the probability of contracting it is much higher than HIV if i'm not mistaken. Either way, it...

  17. Rejection hurts

    Bobmo88 replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Rejection does hurt but it makes the inevitable acceptance that much sweeter. Just keep working hard and try to improve yourself as much as you

  18. Do you like your job?

    Bobmo88 replied to ginaw623's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I love my job working as an ER Tech because it provides me with so much experience. I see a lot of different cases, work side by side with RNs, MDs and RTs and develop many skills. It's the closest I...

  19. Experienced Student Nurses...advice?

    Bobmo88 replied to cchesney's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same situation as cchesney and I had the same question. It's been a while since I have taken Anatomy and Physiology, that Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology for Nursing Students book...

  20. How much do you make as a tech?

    Bobmo88 replied to RCBR's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Started off at $20.39 as a per diem ER Tech at a union hospital here in Ventura County,CA. It's about $2.50 differential for night

  21. Phlebotomy, pct

    Bobmo88 replied to Kdrenee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you want to be a nurse then phlebotomy would be beneficial in that it would teach you how to find veins and even though the technique is different for starting an IV, it'll make doing them at lot...

  22. I feel incompetent

    Bobmo88 replied to ginaw623's topic in General Students

    As a phlebotomist, I have to say that we all start some where. You just need to practice good technique and be confident in yourself. The only way you will get better is just to keep practicing. BTW,...

  23. Honest opinions

    Bobmo88 replied to Mrs2016's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Honestly, I did better the day of the actual test. I took the practice tests at my house and found myself getting distracted but when it came to actually take the test, it was game time and I...

  24. I got a "C" in A&P 2. HELP!

    Bobmo88 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just make sure you do well with the rest of the pre-reqs, I got a C in Micro (and a B in pretty much every other pre-req) and am starting a BSN program in the fall. I must note that I was initially...

  25. Fall 2012 new nursing students roll call!!!

    Bobmo88 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    Thank you! I was in disbelief, I had already moved on and was getting ready to apply to ABSN programs or wait for an ADN program. I think some people who had gotten into my program had also gotten...
