    Ok one thread to include them all I'm listening so what's your story. Are you on the wait list to get in? Did you just get accepted? If you are a student/previous student, can you tell what your...

    Feeling useless...

    Faeriewand replied to Lucia1's topic in General Nursing

    I know of two well-over-50 year old nurses who got hired at hospitals. One took over a year to get hired. She couldn't find a job in CA so took a job in the South East in her chosen specialty. And...

    Want to get out of nursing, what can I do with my degree????

    Faeriewand replied to pale_pilsen's topic in Nursing Career

    All thru school I said I would never work in med/surg. I've been doing that for two years now and am so happy with it. After about 6 months on the floor I felt more competent, the same with the one...

    BlueEyes, I don't know. I just figure to take one class at a time and by the time I'm finished they should be accredited. I suppose we could always call them and ask. My class is just on Saturday...

    Faeriewand replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    Several from my graduating class last year just got new grad jobs so there is hope if you have been waiting for a job for a year! :) I'm so happy for them. They are ADN nurses too, not

    Chance of ADN to get a Hospital Job?

    Faeriewand replied to nalaa83's topic in General Students

    nalaa I do think you have a good chance of being hired in a hospital upon graduation because of that previous degree you have. In San Diego we have a glut of new grads and many BSN programs. Those...

    San Diego City College- Any info on the new requirements and no waitlist?

    Faeriewand replied to rosebud123's topic in California Nursing

    If there had been a points system when I was doing my pre-reqs, I would have tried to get all A's. I didn't bother because I knew I didn't need it. vegas2009 is right. This points system is long...

    States with Real Nursing Shortages?

    Faeriewand replied to KaringOne's topic in General Nursing

    If there are several schools in town, then there will be no nursing shortage in that area. Would like to hear where there really are shortages though because I'm curious.

    Faeriewand replied to pielrn's topic in General Nursing

    Will severe spinal stenosis prevent me from nursing?

    Faeriewand replied to Butterfly0328's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Faeriewand replied to RescueNinja's topic in General Nursing

    I learned to administer slowly as the injection will hurt if administered too fast. It's pretty thick and I've heard a resident yell when a student administered it the way you do insulin
