  1. El Camino Hospital New Grad RN 2017

    They just had one for the med/surg units and there may be another in the spring. Keep checking their website -- they post it on their Job Finder as Clinical Nurse I - New Grad Training
  2. Feeling discouraged in nursing school with little sleep

    I'm so sorry you're going through this; sleep deprivation is just awful, and can cloud everything you do during the day. I think you need to make sleep training your top priority. It's no wonder you...
  3. Which Mac Air? 11" or 13"

    The new 12" MacBooks are out and they are great! I'd definitely choose it over the Air. Super light (2 lbs.) and thin, beautiful Retina display, available in 3 colors, and full-sized keyboard: Apple -...
  4. SFSU/Sequoia program 2015

    I hear you, Kym! Anyone else confused by the orientation email? It mentioned a "mandatory" orientation at SF State in July, but then said the SF State orientation is optional. Are there two, with one...
  5. SFSU/Sequoia program 2015

    The weekend of June 13/14 looks good for me, if that works for others. I should also have time closer to the start of classes. Anyone heard anything new? Very curious about our class schedule for...
  6. SFSU/Sequoia program 2015

    I am in a similar situation as 3doodle with kids' events, work, and general life stuff right now. I also work as a CNA on Sat./Sun. every other weekend, but if you hit me on the right weekend, I'd...
  7. SFSU/Sequoia program 2015

    Glad you accepted! There is also a scholarship program for the Sequoia BSN, although I'm not totally sure how it works (maybe you need to be in your 2nd year to apply?). Here's a little info:...
  8. SFSU/Sequoia program 2015

    Hi 3doodle, just an FYI for when you accept: When I accepted my admission, it took me to a page with a confirmation message, but I didn't get an email or anything. I emailed the grad office to make...
  9. SFSU/Sequoia program 2015

    I finally got my email today notifying me of acceptance to SFSU through the grad school (2nd bac degree student here). It's nice to know I'm fully "in" as I was having paranoid thoughts about having...
  10. SFSU/Sequoia program 2015

    Hey all! Saw you on the other thread but thought I'd post over here since this one is specifically for our program. I mailed my letter on Thursday so I'll wait until tomorrow to call them. Definitely...
  11. SFSU Fall 2015

    Congrats to you! I'm sending you a PM to exchange
  12. SFSU Fall 2015

    Congrats! Sent you a
  13. SFSU Fall 2015

    Congrats! I sent you a PM with my email if you want to connect before classes
  14. SFSU Fall 2015

    Right, not for the main campus program. For the SFSU/Sequoia BSN program (which takes place at Canada College but is identical to the main SFSU BSN), there were interviews in March. I got an...
  15. SFSU Fall 2015

    Actually, we did have interviews in March for the Sequoia program. They said they were piloting it with our group, so maybe they will roll it out to all applicants next year. It was nice to know I'd...
  16. SFSU Fall 2015

    They did specifically mention points at the info session I attended, but that was for the Sequoia program (and it was also for applicants to the cohort that started this past fall). Like you, I think...
  17. SFSU Fall 2015

    The way I understand from the info session I attended it is that you will get points toward your application for having volunteer service/paid healthcare experience, but if you are strong in the other...
  18. SFSU Fall 2015

    I wouldn't worry too much yet! The SFSU/Sequoia applicants were told we'd be notified at the end of April. Good
  19. SFSU Fall 2015

    I'd be interested in hearing about the same. I know they changed their curriculum so that patho and pharm are integrated into the different subject areas instead of being taught as single subjects. In...
  20. Any benefits with joining Phi Theta Kappa?

    Also keep in mind that you can still put it on your resume as "Selected for Phi Theta Kappa" if you choose not to join. That's what I'm planning to
  21. Shadowing or Internships in California?

    I got CNA training through Careway Health Institute in San Mateo over the summer, and there was a 16-year-old in my class. He had to call around a lot to find one that would take a younger student. I...
  22. The T.E.A.S V study guide

    I've also been out of college for a while (other than prereqs) and recently scored 90.7% on the TEAS V. My approach was to get the study bundle offered by ATI -- their study manual as well as the 2...
  23. Taking anatomy and physiology during same semester?

    I took anatomy and phys (both with labs) as separate classes simultaneously in one semester, and it worked out very well. However, my classes were with the same teacher (who was great), and although...
  24. Cadaver Work

    The CC I attend also has cadavers, and it was wonderful to be able to learn Anatomy through them. Our lectures were held in the lab, so we had ready access to the cadavers and viscera during class. We...
  25. Taking anatomy and physiology together?

    At my school they are separate classes, and ordinarily you are required to take Anatomy prior to Physiology. When I took them last semester they were offered concurrently because the instructor...
