  2. School competition/ what to do?

    zzbxdo replied to applekors27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. What gives with the unsupportive spouses?

    zzbxdo replied to dragonfly414's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's kind of like Yelp. You are likely gonna say something if you are unsatisfied and less likely to review if you are satisfied. I agree unsupportive spouses are unfortunate but I highly doubt it's a...

    zzbxdo replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    I joined PTK back then to put on my resume and stuff. When I transfered to the University I attended I got a scholarship without realizing it, financial aid dept hooked it up. Was worth it imo even of...

    zzbxdo replied to ElizabethTonoyan's topic in California Nursing

    Your location was not truly the point I was trying to get at. I stating that with your statistics at the time, you should have been able to get in any merit based program in one shot, sac state...

  11. Best West Coast BSN Programs?

    zzbxdo replied to Smwright19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CSUs are merit based with each application, there is no wait list. Unless you consider failing to get accepted for 2 years then I suppose you can call it whatever you

  12. extra curriculars wanted to transfer?

  17. extra curriculars wanted to transfer?

    zzbxdo replied to nadia96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Clubs, honor programs etc. I'd concentrate on getting the grades first and brushing up on a second language, particularly Spanish while in school. And ease off the

  18. How Does an RN make more in Sacramento than San Diego????

    zzbxdo replied to Scarpydooooo's topic in California Nursing

    I agree. Posters above who claim they can't afford living in San Diego are being a tad bit over dramatic. Yeah our pay to housing sucks compared to Davis but far from uncomfortable. Just don't expect...

  19. ucsd medical center

    zzbxdo replied to RN_518's topic in California Nursing

    That may be true that the benefits are stronger vs scripts and sharp, and maybe slightly more than the va but the notion or rumor that you have to be per diem to start is absolutely false. It's not a...

    zzbxdo replied to RN_518's topic in California Nursing

    I mean, if you already are per diem you could potentially get hired as full time staff. That does not exclude outsiders. Lateral transfers are pretty easy, probably the same as any other

  23. ucsd medical center

    zzbxdo replied to RN_518's topic in California Nursing
