1. Do things get better?

   SweetCorn replied to champagneferret's topic in Emergency

   I just hit 10 months in the ER as a new grad and had a 12 week preceptorship. I'm far from a seasoned nurse, but I'm not the same RN I was last November. Those first few weeks/months should feel...

2. Tncc as a nursing student

   SweetCorn replied to ajmclean's topic in Emergency

   I was advised that if I took TNCC after I had my license I could use those hours for continuing education. This is probably what I'll

3. The aggravation of it all

   SweetCorn replied to kariace's topic in General Students

   I rented all my textbooks besides my med/surg books, which I purchased. You can get Amazon Student service which is essentially Amazon prime which gives you free shipping both ways. Any school...

4. Jobs San Diego vs Sacramento

   SweetCorn replied to trn2015's topic in California Nursing

   Fyi... it's 106 degrees in Sacramento today, same tomorrow. But at least there isn't any humidity. The places in CA with the great weather, like San Diego, come with a cost (for the most part)....

6. NEW GRAD Having a hard time getting finding a job.

   SweetCorn replied to newbiegrad1's topic in California Nursing

   I'd snap that one up. Great place to live even if it is rather remote. Cal Poly is located there, fantastic climate, surfing, coast mountains, good food and wine, no traffic like LA or Bay Area....

7. Samuel Merritt/ Private ABSN/ second degree BSN programs

   SweetCorn replied to panda2bnurse3's topic in California Nursing

   Regarding the FAIR part above.... SMU and other private schools don't determine who gets a loan or not, that is up to the banks. Many private schools offer some scholarships to ease the cost burden...

8. Shoe recs for clinicals

   SweetCorn replied to poopylala's topic in General Students

   Cheap ones, if your school is like ours, and you have to wear white shoes. Mine will be burnt the moment clinicals are done. Not because they are gross but because they are white. Who the hell buys...

9. Samuel Merritt/ Private ABSN/ second degree BSN programs

   SweetCorn replied to panda2bnurse3's topic in California Nursing

   I'm attending SMU right now and I'm under the impression that most people are taking out private loans. You do get some federal money (around $12,250 if this is your second bachelor's degree) which...

10. WORKING WHILE IN RN SCHOOL (ONLY) Samuel Merritt/ and National University ABSN

    SweetCorn replied to ShondaJ's topic in California Nursing

    I'm an SMU ABSN student right now, in my 4th month. The answer is not full time. There are a few people who have continued to work some during school, like one shift on Friday night, or stay on...

    I second the travel assignment suggestion. Don't call it Cali, it's

12. Are nursing schools saturated, less applying?

    SweetCorn replied to I'm_no_Genius_but's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In Northern Nevada, several of the schools I am familiar with have been adding requirements to their application process. Things like having a CNA license, more math classes, having to take the TEAS...

    SweetCorn replied to isabellaboho's topic in California Nursing

    I'm thinking ABSN that is offered at the Stockton campus. Apologies for mixing them up and congrats to those who are

14. CSU Stanislaus BSN Fall 2014

    SweetCorn replied to isabellaboho's topic in California Nursing

    Are you sure this wasn't acceptance to Cal State Stanislaus itself and not the nursing program? The application period for the nursing program is open for over another month (app deadline is May 15th)...

15. Are nursing schools saturated, less applying?

    SweetCorn replied to I'm_no_Genius_but's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think applying a one size fits all statement, like "there is a nursing shortage" to the entire country in just about any line of work is not going to work that well. Different regions have...
