  1. seven weeks to go

    smile123 replied to gods's topic in California Nursing

    I think you need to be a little more specific in your request. People are really busy taking classes and working various shifts. Do you want to know about tourist spots in Carlsbad? If so, Google...

  6. Accelerated BSN degree from a foreign nursing school?

    smile123 replied to looking4ABSNprogram's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never heard of such a thing. The accel'd BSN is relatively new here in the US, so I doubt there is any sort of equivalent program out of state. For any non-US nursing graduate, the CA BON has...

  8. Another acceptance, I don't know what to do?

    smile123 replied to Blessone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Licensure by Endorsement for California

    smile123 replied to Soon-to-be-NurseJess's topic in California Nursing

  18. If You Got Your Letter Post Here!!!

    smile123 replied to Faeriewand's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a nice idea. How about if you say where you got your acceptance letter and for which program (LVN, ADN, BSN)? Then we could get an indication which schools are sending out their acceptances...

  20. Working in CA

    smile123 replied to Soon-to-be-NurseJess's topic in California Nursing

    I think it depends on the hospital. I know at one hospital that there are 1:5 ratios for the general med surg floors and CNAs (usually 2 who carry 6 - 7 patients each) to help out the RNs. You need...
