  4. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    Wow Sorry to hear that it broke bad for you. I've been hearing that they've really been pushing the whole "take this course first" deal. As I've said before, I think that's a bad deal all around....

  5. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    If you've already got the experience then I have no idea why you didnt make it. That's a question for the admissions rep that's helping you. They should tell you what the problem was. As far as...

  6. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    Kinda both. Let me explain. Being an RN is important for the "clinical nursing" component of the curriculum. As has been said a ton of times in a zillion different threads on this site, "an RN is an...

  7. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    Maric is accredited by the Ca BRN, but not by Western Schools. Not all colleges will take Marics gen ed credits. I'm betting that UCLA will not. There are a bunch of schools that do however. ASN...

  8. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    I'm telling you this as a Maric student. DO NOT BUY A CNA PROGRAM FROM MARIC. Yes I was yelling on purpose. Maric's RN program does require medical experience. That however does not mean strictly...

  9. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    Yep I'm going to Maric now. I've said it a bunch in this thread, the school is better than it appears. You really need to get past the "car salesmen" that work in the admissions office. The quality...

  10. Is there power in the color white?

    casualjim replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses, both active duty Navy and civilian (yep there are both) at Navy clinics and hospitals wear pretty much what all nurses wear, scrubs. Navy nurses are officers. In the Navy officers and Chief...

  12. Is there power in the color white?

    casualjim replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    As a student I dont feel qualified to talk to "what gives power" or "professionalism" in nursing. When I was in the military though, every once in a while someone would pull out the "professionalism...

  14. Retirement "Gift"

    casualjim replied to rck213's topic in General Nursing

    After 21 years in the military here's what I scored: -a medal that I can never wear anymore -a photocopy of a letter with a facsimile signature of a president that I didnt vote for - A piece of cake...

  16. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    I have no idea where the NLN tests for those courses are given. Does it work the same as clep-ing out of a course? Maybe the counselor at City college's nursing program might know. They were pretty...

  17. Badly Paid Nurse a Good Nurse

    casualjim replied to foxyhill21's topic in General Nursing

    You make a good point, why shouldnt it be a calling up and down the food chain? Hospitals and health care "systems" just giving services away because we're all just "called" to do it. If only I...

  18. Badly Paid Nurse a Good Nurse

    casualjim replied to foxyhill21's topic in General Nursing

    I'm saying this with the caveat that I'm "only a student" but I have finished a pretty succesful 21 career elsewhere. This isnt my first trip to the rodeo. In all my life I've never heard so much...

  19. Adn's Who Don't Care

    casualjim replied to nursing4me23's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student working on my ASN. I have no real desire to get a BSN. This is a second career for me. I've been the boss, checked that box. I'm over it. Right now I'm looking forward to a few...

  20. windward side

    casualjim replied to maryruth's topic in General Nursing

    The Farrells ice cream in San Diego closed about the same day the one at Windward Mall opened. When things are feeling really crazy and annoying I try to go to Farrells or maybe a chucky cheese and...

    If you have a PDA pm me and I'll find a way to get you a medical spanish program that I've been using. aloha

  22. windward side

    casualjim replied to maryruth's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student in San Diego but I plan on moving back to O'ahu when I get done with school. Windward side is nice for me because it's not too far from town, but far enough that I dont get too...

  23. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    What you're saying makes a lot of sense. When I was at National, it was mostly Navy people, second career people, and people going for a masters. Maric get's 'em pretty young. I've been at Maric...

  24. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    I was taking classes at National before I went to Maric. At the time they were running the first iteration of the ADN program there. They had not received accredition at that point and I'm guessing...

  25. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    The tuition is between 42-45K. but that goes down based on what credits that you bring to the table from other colleges. I was down below 40 (by a couple cents:lol2: ) when they finally priced me...
