  1. Samuel Merritt Diversity CRNA Informational session

    zzbxdo posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Will be putting in applications into some programs later this year and SMU is within my top 3. Has any students/previous students attended these informational sessions that is being offered? It's a 2...

  2. California BRN Processing Times Poll

    zzbxdo replied to secondlifenurse's topic in California Nursing

    There is only a handful of them as you stated yourself. Not their fault, but the state needs to hire a much larger staff force. Sent from my Nexus 6P using

  3. Career Changer Need Advice

    zzbxdo replied to dreamwithinadream's topic in General Students

    I'd just skip BSN/MSN based on your

  4. Best programs in Southern CA

    zzbxdo replied to LemonDrop1234's topic in California Nursing

    CSUs will provide you the best bang for the buck, as well as historically established clinical rotations/networking. My little birdie(s) from UCLA tells me that the performance from UCLA graduates are...

  5. Leaving current job after only 5 months

    zzbxdo replied to mlang's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even know why you are even considering. Look at that buff commute, time is money. Put in your notice when you get your written offer. You've been thinking about it long enough if you know all...

  6. ER RN pay in San Fran?

    zzbxdo replied to SocalRN12's topic in California Nursing

    Look up ucsf's pay scale, it's online for public viewing. Expect -15 to +10 from what ucsf offers, depending on institution. Only a couple places match or pay more than

  7. stethoscope frusteration!! help!

    zzbxdo replied to Moenine9's topic in General Students

    First world problems. Just get whatever is cheaper and will last you through school. Chances are it'll last you several of your first years of work. You won't even know the difference with noobie...

  8. Homeopathy taught in a Pharmacology class?!?!

    zzbxdo replied to dura.mater's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why are you "terrified?" Terrifying to me is giant dinosaur with rockets mounted on his back trying to eat me. Let's not make it sound like your life is done. Homeopathic medicine is completely valid...

  9. ADN, BA versus BSN

    zzbxdo replied to tanac's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Most will go out of town, county state. It's one of the most saturated markets in the US, and it is easy to fill gaps with travelers. I will go into slightly more depth about fnps in our area from...

  10. ADN, BA versus BSN

    zzbxdo replied to tanac's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Also with finances up there.. Unless becoming an fnp is your ultimate desire, it's not worth it especially in our market. You won't make significant more (you make less per hour as a salaried staff),...

  11. ADN, BA versus BSN

    zzbxdo replied to tanac's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You are right about most acute facilities in San Diego. Most will only hire new grads with their BSNs, or enrolled in a bsn+ program. Just consider if it's worth potentially not being able to work...

  12. What States Pay the Highest and Lowest Nursing Salaries

    zzbxdo replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I always see people jumping the ship for California, but understand California is a huge state and the offerings vary greatly by region. Raised in the south bay, went to school in the central valley,...

  13. Nurse stealing narcs advice

    zzbxdo replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a burn unit. Our a&o patients often recieved oxy q4hrs or even more frequently, with prn breakthrough iv, and additional prn iv + po for wound care, and scheduled oxycontin. These...

  14. Fnp vs AG ACNP ... whats the difference? Is one "better" than the other?

    zzbxdo replied to Aik0's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My region only has 1 acnp program. I work in a burn ICU and my nps are fnps, along with many fnp friends I know working in a variety of acute/cc

  15. Fnp vs AG ACNP ... whats the difference? Is one "better" than the other?

    zzbxdo replied to Aik0's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's highly regional and subjective per organization. Fnp doesn't mean you can't practice in critical care, I know several friends doing primary care going strait to acute care. They also have most...

  16. Discouraged

    zzbxdo replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're going to have to take it regardless to get to RN school. If you get so easily discouraged you need to manage who your real support systems are. Work hard, manage your time well, eat well, ask...

  17. Rady Children's & Sharp (San Diego)

    zzbxdo replied to ctabs14's topic in California Nursing

    Radys and ucsd has a very strong relationship. The attendings and anesthesiologists, specifically in the burn center, cross cover at Radys as well. We have been assisted by their teams (ID, renal etc)...

  18. Where should I start? CNA in San Diego, CA.

    zzbxdo replied to AnaAlbert's topic in California Nursing

    Study hard and go directly into a BSN program.. Or asn to start. Work as a CNA after you get into a RN program. Majority of the hospitals in sd are magnet and highly prefer bsns. Save time by doing...

  19. Modesto area

    zzbxdo replied to ButtaflyRN's topic in California Nursing

    I'd stay clear from memorial. Shoot for DMC or even Kaiser. Make sure DMC knows you are in a BSN program, it is highly preferred. Went to CSU Stanislaus and did clinicals at both. Memorial is a pretty...

  20. Norcal UC vs Kaiser pension considerations

    zzbxdo posted a topic in California Nursing

    I have a question for those who have worked at a UC, specifically UCSF and knowledgeable about the retirement/benefit plans compared to Kaiser. Ridding myself of the excess information.... Background...

  21. CSU Stanislaus fall '16

    zzbxdo replied to hardwrkingmama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try posting in the ca thread perhaps. I'm a previous Stan

  22. switch from medical school to nursing?

    zzbxdo replied to gj101's topic in General Students

    In the end I'd probably just go back to practicing as a chiropractor instead of getting your rn as well. Dump the wife, restart your practice else where, move on with

  23. switch from medical school to nursing?

    zzbxdo replied to gj101's topic in General Students

    My gf and her family is filipino, and what you say your wife claims is hocus pocus. A lot of first generation Filipinas(RNs) are the primary source of income in the US. Your priorities are your...

  24. West Coast University or American Career College ???

    zzbxdo replied to Heyitsmel's topic in California Nursing

    Use that money you'd be wasting and help those really in need. That kind of tuition for a nursing salary is nowhere near reasonable even if you can afford la rent and loan repayments. And if you can...

  25. Georgetown CRNA fall 2016

    zzbxdo replied to DCdea's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was offered an interview for today but declined. Admissions are definitely on
