  2. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Hey I am so anxious too. Feels like forever until Spring, but I'm trying my best to make use of my free time. I'm brushing up on my Chinese at CCSF. I have a CPMC volunteering orientation coming up....

  3. Nursing School Apartment Living

    lauraline replied to camelbakhi's topic in General Students

    Don't call the cops just yet. I work in property management and I have seen this situation. Their contract probably states that they must keep the noise to a reasonable level, but that definition is...

  4. What the heck?

    lauraline replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine were also self-taugh. My professors just talked and talked with no set topics or particular method or plan. They just told us when the exams were, and that's it. They were a good source of...

  5. Question about Chabot College

    lauraline replied to beckyboo80's topic in California Nursing

    You might want to post this in the CA nursing section. Chances are that not many Chabot students will come across your post. I am at CCSF, and am aware of Chabot, but did not apply to Chabot. But I...

  6. Live-in RN advice

    lauraline posted a topic in Home Health

    I am not a live-in nurse (although I am still a student). But I am in dire need of advice from your perspective. I have hired live-in nurses to care for my 88 year old grandmother who has some early...

  7. Live-in RN advice

    lauraline replied to lauraline's topic in Home Health

    Just to mention a few things that the nurses have said happened, they say grandma wanted to kick them out because she didn't want them sleeping in her house, she thought they were burglars, she...

  8. Live-in RN advice

    lauraline replied to lauraline's topic in Home Health

    Thanks all for the comments. To answer some of your questions, my grandmother has a. fib. and a really bad mobility issue. I am working on having her tested again for Alzheimer's and dementia, but I...

  9. Online Programs and State Licensing

    lauraline replied to ElisMom728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As others have said, you must be at least an LVN/LPN first for any of those online nursing programs. If I were in your situation, I would consider completing that CNA certification and then take what...

  10. Question about CCSF Admission

    lauraline replied to RxTechy's topic in California Nursing

    I would think you are still eligible to apply. But I'm not completely sure. I would check with the CCSF Nursing Department. You can call or email them, they are very helpful and friendly. However, I...

  11. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks for sharing Volleygrl! I suppose that does sound somewhat hopeful. I also emailed the nursing department, and they basically just said they don't know anything yet. It's so frustrating because...

  12. UCSF Help!

    lauraline replied to lauranurselaura's topic in California Nursing

    I live about 10 minutes from UCSF. If you won't have a car then you could live nearby and take the bus. I would recommend the Richmond districts and Sunset too. These neighborhoods are safe...

  13. CCSF Lost it's Accreditation!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    You are saying that students who start August 2013 will not have transferable units, but CCSF and the ACCJC has stated the accreditation is not lost until July 2014. I'm not trying to argue, just...

  14. CCSF Lost it's Accreditation!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks starcat. I have my fingers crossed that this also applies to Spring students. But, I am going to try to contact the rn department as well. I will share whatever I hear from

  15. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Nope. I really hope the Nursing Department holds a meeting or sends a letter to address the more specific issues it's facing. (Today is a holiday so maybe they are closed.) I haven't been taking those...

  17. CCSF Lost it's Accreditation!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    How does one find out if it will still be approved? At the moment, the CA Board of Nursing website still lists it as approved. But has this changed, or will it? CCSF lost accreditation due to...

  18. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I had no other plans either. I just got an email saying CCSF will retain accreditation thru Spring '14, but then what after that? Did you all get the email too? I guess I need to keep applying to...

  19. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    CCSF will lose accreditation by 2014. What does this mean for us? Anyone know? I can't find any information or wrap my head around this. Should we be

  20. Babies during Nursing school?

    lauraline replied to nhunter8's topic in General Students

    Omg this is the best thread! I have never known of anyone to be pregnant during nursing school, although I have heard of it. It sounds scary to me, but all your stories are very encouraging! My...

  21. Anyone trying to get fit before NS?

    lauraline replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    Haha, this is so true. My professor this semester threw us a pizza party of all things! It was our reward for doing well on our Nutrition projects.

  22. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in the same boat. Idk where to even begin with finding a healthcare job. I want to volunteer, but I don't want to work with high school kid volunteers and the old people selling candy at the gift...

  23. Anyone trying to get fit before NS?

    lauraline replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    Counting my calories and paying more attention to food labels is the best thing that I have ever done for my health. Before, I had no idea how much junk I was putting into my body. Even if you're...

  24. Anyone trying to get fit before NS?

    lauraline replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    What is your daily calorie requirement? What calorie deficit are you going for? Mine is around 1700, and I try to eat at least a 300 calorie deficit. If you want to lose 1 lb per week thru diet, you...
