  6. First Nursing Job

    zzbxdo replied to mikkie1317's topic in California Nursing

    zzbxdo replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

    Because her life doesn't revolve around work, she is an adult and has/will make her own decisions regarding covering up her sleeves. Being too warm is subjective, and she may work

  10. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    zzbxdo replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    Lol@op. You sound like you get agitated easily. But you know what? Be a leader, or not. Suck it up, or go do something about it. You're gonna get opinionated support or get attacked but really...

  11. What street clothes do YOU wear in nursing school?

    zzbxdo replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

  15. Would it be a bad idea to come to Cali as a new grad from out of state?

    zzbxdo replied to WendyDarling's topic in California Nursing

    Sounds like you already know the answer to your questions. If you for sure have a l&d position laid out for you after you graduate, then I don't see why you would even consider abandoning it to...

  16. Modesto or Oakland?

    zzbxdo replied to zacarias's topic in California Nursing

    A lot of turbulence at Memorial. This is due to the Sutter take over recently in the past and on going Union and labor disputes. I would avoid Memorial if at all possible. There are nice neighborhoods...

    zzbxdo replied to dalsor's topic in California Nursing

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but children's pays a little bit less but is competitive with the area after the last 4 hours is considered annual salary wise. New grads get shafted quite a bit though and...

    zzbxdo replied to philzcoffeel0ver's topic in California Nursing

    I have Co workers and peers who are both pleased and displeased with their education at smu. More on the middle and meh side. My vote goes for csus for education/cost

    zzbxdo replied to Dianenicolexox's topic in California Nursing

  22. New Grad - CA - dejected and no jobs?

    zzbxdo replied to sandangel2001's topic in California Nursing

    Look at farther, 1k mile radius. Out of state. Otherwise you're staying in Florida, to be blunt. It's hard getting into a nursing program, but it's even harder getting a job

  23. SDSU vs. SFSU Pre-Nursing

    zzbxdo replied to aluong819's topic in California Nursing

    Go to a community college first. Both schools are hard to get classes in, are super impacted, and if you hear sfsu is a commuter school then I don't know how you can say SDSU isn't. Realistically, you...

    zzbxdo replied to 1waitingpatiently's topic in California Nursing

    I've a lot of buddies from sjsu. Counselors are of no help, nursing staff are unorganized and useless. Really large cohorts split into several groups by clinical instructors that were very...
