  3. Help

    casualjim replied to JanicePJ's topic in General Nursing

    Maric has a website with all the information. They offer everything from CNA to RN (ASN). The catch is that to get into their RN program you have to have "previous medical experiance." Another...

    Hi and welcome I'm in SD as well. City College has a great program, as does Grossmont. SDSU has a killer BSN program. All of these have a waiting list though so get hot on your prereqs now. I...

  5. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    Good deal, I'd be really interested to hear what they have to say also. What the lady at maric that I spoke to told me about the rn program was a year of gen ed (depending on how much you bring to...

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    You might be right. It's not the classes that eat up your time, it's the wait. How long is the LVN course? aloha

  7. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    Sorry I didnt answer your other comment. It's a total program of 24 months. Yes they are accepting my gen ed stuff that I've done at City College, Southwestern College and National ( Maric obviously...

  10. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    They were ok with my "prior medical experience" from being a naval special warfare medic and an EMT. So I'm good to hook there. Please dont take any of this personally. I'm really glad that you and...

  11. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    I'm taking classes at National right now and the reality is nothing like they advertise. I was told that there was no waiting list and you know what, they were right there is no waiting list. BUT if...

    casualjim replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

    I give. You are right I dont know you and I wasnt sure until now but I really dont want to. I'm sure you're a good person and a great nurse but a question about cars should not generate this much...

    casualjim replied to Worthy's topic in General Nursing

  17. I quit smoking and need advice

    casualjim replied to Medic2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really happy for you. When I quit, a smart guy told me that most smokers will talk about how they're "stress smokers" when they really are having a physiological craving. What he told me to do...

    casualjim replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

  23. Question about "loan forgivness"

    casualjim posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new student and I'm reading and hearing about "loan forgivness programs" or sometimes "tuition re-imbursment". I'm in So.Cal and it seems that this is fairly common. Does anyone have any...

  25. Why "male nurses" instead of "men in nursing"?

    casualjim replied to JDCPhD's topic in Men in Nursing

    How about just plain old "Nurse"? should be pretty gender neutral, it's a job title not how your plumbing is
