  1. Best hospitals and expected RN pay in Orange County area

    zzbxdo replied to smvtx23's topic in California Nursing

    Very terrible, it's more tolerable before 7am, in the middle of the day, and about after 8pm. I drive back and forth from sd frequently. The pay between OC and LA is not too different. Dollar or 2,...

  2. No Chances of getting in? 2014

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

    Retake a/p at your community college. Reapply when you're

  3. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    zzbxdo replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

    Disposable cheapo ones at work are more than enough. I don't see the need for students to pick out more costly options while in school, don't know what is being listened to most of the time

  4. Looking ahead to CRNA Med School

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

    You can Google questions 1 to 5. You probably would have found your answers faster than logging on here and that would help you more by far compared to people spoon feeding you. Don't worry about any...

  5. kaplan - worth it?

    zzbxdo replied to SN2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Borrow the test taking book and learn the test taking logistics in the first 3 or so chapters. That's the only useful aspect in the study guide, everything else is application of the material given to...

  6. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    zzbxdo replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    I personally think that additional BSN theory classes just add to time intensity and management, not difficulty. If anyone perceives that it is more difficult as a whole, these individuals must be...

    zzbxdo replied to Jspurgeonzoo's topic in Oregon Nursing

  8. Attention Portland Nurses

    zzbxdo replied to Jspurgeonzoo's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Currently visiting from California. So what's the typical salary ranges in the city? Is the 60k/yr average from indeed typical and statistically accurate? You are all anonymous beings, go ahead and...

    zzbxdo replied to SN2014's topic in General Students

    zzbxdo replied to isabellaboho's topic in California Nursing

  11. Why can't you get Financial Aid with a Bachelors Degree?

    zzbxdo replied to thewoods4's topic in General Students

    Sorry, but I rather have some kid receive free education monies over an individual with a previous opportunity to succeed. Price of education is already inflated with dwindling funds. This doesn't...

  12. Confused about how to become a nurse

    zzbxdo replied to amer1996's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Aim for platinum: work hard on a merit background to get in the first round, but apply to schools assuming you are to be wait listed. Asking where people went to school will get you nowhere. Times...

  13. Confused about how to become a nurse

    zzbxdo replied to amer1996's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a lengthy post but my app crashed. I also went to de anza/foothill and offer you these advice. If you're searching for objective information, build yourself a spread sheet with a list of schools...

  14. Does leaving CA for a BSN make it harder to get a job?

    zzbxdo replied to KNHendry's topic in California Nursing

    As Meriwhen stated, your only disadvantage is at the local level if you were to attend school in California, locals have clinical networking and reputation. But really, even if you were in California...

  15. San Diego California

    zzbxdo replied to mica wykes's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah you won't afford the worst dump if you can't make them monies. You're against lots of competition, no network to start with, little recognition of

  16. San Diego California

    zzbxdo replied to mica wykes's topic in California Nursing

    Also depends how close you want to be to everything and spending

  17. magnet status

    zzbxdo replied to seriouslyserious's topic in California Nursing

    Your run on sentences are somewhat difficult to follow. In the end, no, your friend does not know what she/he is talking about. Again, magnet status is facility designated, and are more likely to hire...

  18. California Jobs for New Grads 2014

    zzbxdo replied to Nalexander's topic in California Nursing

    Honestly, it's more crushing to be hopeful and coming up short months later vs expecting little and getting an offer. Hardships and struggle as a new grad here are

  19. magnet status

    zzbxdo replied to seriouslyserious's topic in California Nursing

    I can't say that it's falling out of fashion, but magnet status definitely increases politics, financial micromanagement from all tiers, more surveyors etc. My facility is magnet, those who've been...

  20. magnet status

    zzbxdo replied to seriouslyserious's topic in California Nursing

  21. Shattered hopes.

    zzbxdo replied to panic36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never really took a counselors words to heart. They jump the gun most of the time. Maintain that solid GPA and research each program you'd be willing to apply for and try to hit all the criterion...

  22. Avoiding patients hitting on you

    zzbxdo replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    You may have patients with neuro injuries thus lack filters, homeless who don't give a, or confused patients etc. Or just some really bad people. I didn't read any other comments other than op but...

  23. Medical terminology vs medical dictionary?

    zzbxdo replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    Don't really need it. You'll get it over time and if anything, google is your friend. Waste of space and excessive weight. Pocket clinical reference books were the only thing I carried as a

  24. Nurse Extern Hiring

    zzbxdo replied to mk989's topic in General Students

    I had a whole response but lost it by accidentally pressing back on my phone. 1 Don't expect a shoe in in anything, that is arrogance on your part 2 you can find jobs without one, you may not be the...

  25. Memorial Medical Center of Modesto

    zzbxdo replied to futuremurse45's topic in California Nursing

    Politics. The trend isn't new, I went to CSU Stan too. They prefer mjc students, as a majority of staff are also mjc grads. Snotty management, Sutter made them worse. A lot of nurses there aren't...
