    San Diego: City College, Grossmont, National University

    Faeriewand replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    Yup. People are no longer waiting; if they have good grades they can get in right away. Right now they still take some ppl from the wait list because they have been waiting for three years now. But...

    San Diego: City College, Grossmont, National University

    Faeriewand replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    BeanTrees, the community college system has banished the waitlist so if you are rocking your pre-reqs and have a previous degree you will have a great chance of getting into a program once you apply....

    How can anyone really decide

    Faeriewand replied to moneyline702's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking along the lines of if you get your BSN there will be no work because nurses are out of work/overabundance of new grads. The military would pay your way thru med school. Need some...

    getting back into patient care

    Faeriewand replied to brtnremtp's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I would apply to the new position. They can only say no. Do you have any nurse friends in the department that can pull for you? That's what you need. Hook up with them and get them to lobby...

    Need Advice on BSN or ASN!

    Faeriewand replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all the other posters and say to stick with the BSN nursing program at Purdue. I just graduated from an ADN program and am so disappointed that every hospital in San Diego county prefers...

    What to do when there's no one to turn to?

    Faeriewand replied to ivorybunny's topic in General Nursing

    You could always switch to part-time or per diem and get a second job or go back to school. When you are not full-time staff it makes a difference in your perspective and you don't have to care so...

    Am I really an RN

    Faeriewand replied to mamaluna's topic in General Nursing

    You've only had 7 months on the floor so give yourself a little more time. Keep that one year mark in mind because you will have much more confidence by then and you can start to look for another...

    4th day off of ED orientation...what have I gotten myself into?

    Faeriewand replied to oddaud's topic in Emergency

    I don't think you realize it but you really have gotten a good start. By being a tech in the ER for 6 months and then doing your practicum in that same ER you are more familiar than the new grad who...

    How is the job market in California?

    Faeriewand replied to lovelivelearn's topic in California Nursing

    Wow good thinking! :) Where can one get wound care cert and EKG? I already have ACLS and PALS. Just looking for more things that will make me look good. I think I will join a few organizations...

    Faeriewand replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in California Nursing

    Great advice yincy! :) I agree with the other posters, don't give up, continue your education, look in all the places they recommended. The state prison system is constantly sending me jobs for LVN...

    Can you give a flu shot wrong?

    Faeriewand replied to Toad38350's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters. All the nurses at my hospital just attended a nursing fair at our hospital and each nurse who got the flu shot said it hurt like heck this year and for a week...

    Can they fire you for not picking up overtime?

    Faeriewand replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you could screen your calls on your day off. Only pick up OT when you are in between semesters. Don't hesitate to answer in the negative when you are asked in person if you can do OT. The...

    Kaplan College, Student Loans??

    Faeriewand replied to Pouneh's topic in General Nursing

    Kaplan is a tough school. They let you do the pre-reqs along with the nursing courses, but if you get your pre-reqs out of the way first at an inexpensive community college you have a better chance...

    Faeriewand replied to Easyas123247's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to a different recruiter; they don't always know what they are talking about. Also, is there a way to get some legal help with your record? We had many people in my ADN program that had...

    A question to new grads...how satisfied are you with your new salary ?

    Faeriewand replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    San Diego-non union hospital. My pay is $28.28 as a new grad and $2 for weekend differential. I did work there as an LVN while in school so I think that's why I'm getting the extra 28 cents
