  1. Any National University of San Diego RN Alumni out there?

    zzbxdo replied to nurturebynature's topic in California Nursing

    If NU has to cut that many students to "improve" their pass rates, then looking at pass rates to evaluate the program itself isn't all that useful. The lack a preceptorship is going to hurt you a...

  2. Advice pay the high tuition or bust? Dominican University

    zzbxdo replied to mswtruth's topic in California Nursing

    Nope. Very likely you'll have to move for your first job. Plus a debt of 2 home down payments? I'd invest the money and time elsewhere especially if your current career is holding. Unless you have...

  3. Moving out of state

    zzbxdo replied to tori3jensen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless you go to a private school (i think) there will be out of state fees. Unless you have tons of your parents monies to blow, the move isn't worth it and very risky if education and nursing is...

  4. SJSU vs CSULB

    zzbxdo replied to babygirl2014's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah.. Regardless of how strong your application is, wait til you get acceptance letters. Chances are your options are gonna get chopped off, they are all competitive csus. Let that type a...

  5. What do students think of the USD MEPN program?

    zzbxdo replied to monzziesCA's topic in General Students

    I'm from the bay area so I'm more then familiar with how rough it is to get a job there. Went to a CSU, cant beat free

  6. Filing a petition. Need advice.

    zzbxdo replied to Mini-Wheats202's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go to their nursing office and actually talk to them? That'll help you more then people here,

  7. Oh, California

    zzbxdo replied to brs_2010's topic in California Nursing

    I work in San Diego, frequently visit the sugar mama whom works in LA, born and raised in the bay area. It is pretty expensive, but varies greatly on area and your own spending habits. I also went to...

  8. What do students think of the USD MEPN program?

    zzbxdo replied to monzziesCA's topic in General Students

    Great resume booster? Not really. Your title is the same, and both are good schools. I've had coworkers from both schools and are both awesome nurses. Choose on whatever is more convenient for you...

  9. Is it really easier for male new grad nurses to land a job?

    zzbxdo replied to RN_na_pogi_pa's topic in Men in Nursing

    Maybe try scrolling down the forum a do a bit of pre-searching first, as this has been asked a couple times recently and debunked. What gets you jobs include a hard working background, ability to...

  10. University of San Francisco nursing program versus Samuel Merritt nursing program

    zzbxdo replied to philzcoffeel0ver's topic in California Nursing

    In no way is that reasonably true. There are no guarantees in life and in this economy. It should be common knowledge that the bay area is among the toughest in the nation to break through as a new...

  11. Moving to Northern CA, Job prospects?

    zzbxdo replied to YvonneABSN11's topic in California Nursing

    Apply, If you get a job, move. If not, stay. The worse than can happen is you get rejected but you have your current job. Browse down and search this California forum, responses will benefit you...

  12. Failing high school Pre-Calc... can I still be a nurse?

    zzbxdo replied to Jack C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do well in nursing school, do well in the ICU setting (several years to be competitive) get your ccrn etc than you're in business. The best you can do in hs is knock out as many ap classes as you can,...

  13. CSULB Fall 2014

    zzbxdo replied to lgripe's topic in California Nursing

    An objective cut off must be made somewhere. You can argue it's not even fair because they shouldn't even consider looking at pre recs, give everyone an equal chance regardless of their background. Or...

  14. Can't get into nursing school!

    zzbxdo replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the end, there are still too many nursing programs, far too many new grads, too few jobs. I honestly think it should be

  15. CSU Stanislaus BSN Fall 2014

    zzbxdo replied to isabellaboho's topic in California Nursing

    No, you just got in the university. Getting into the nursing program is a separate application, same as all

  16. any first semester Modesto JC nursing students here?

    zzbxdo replied to Wrestler133's topic in California Nursing

    You relocated for school without securing loans/financial aid or having any

  17. Relocating to California

    zzbxdo replied to africanbelle's topic in California Nursing

    Most bedside acute care jobs are 12hrs though not all. California is too big to bother offering suggestions, you're gonna have to research and narrow it down. Landing a job is based on your years of...

  18. Transferring from one university to another while majoring in nursing?

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

    I would too just take my pre reqs at a cc. Saves money, but you might be able to get into core classes more quickly at a CSU.. Maybe. I went to a cc and attended Stan state as well. Horribly boring...

  19. Your first Nursing interview - how well does your school prepare you for this?

    zzbxdo replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    My university leadership and management course required us to build resumes and colors, and we self critiqued for points. Your question is how you actually sell yourself in the interview, that's not...

  20. Your first Nursing interview - how well does your school prepare you for this?

    zzbxdo replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    If you pass the nclex, you should be competent. Not a new trend, it's manager or hr preference. With the increased competition, it's just another way of weeding out the weak. You dictate how you...

  21. WHat's your plan after RN BSN?

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

    Your response makes no sense and carries literally nothing against her kids. She is saying do whatever makes you happy, many enjoy being by the bedside and if that's you, kudos. Her niche is to go...

  22. Grossmont Nursing Application Fall 2014

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

    You'll find tons more information in the California forum. I'm assuming you mean the school is San Diego. It is very competitive by the way, also why not just mail your documents and

  23. Anyone know of any San Antonio Nursing Programs? What is required to apply and get in

    zzbxdo replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    She has Internet just like any of us, let her do her own research. It's not hard.. At

  24. Suggestions on career routes?

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

    You should do more research. The requirements for a crna is icu/critical care experience. If the surgical setting for you, an OR nurse is completely different and your knowledge base does not over lap...

  25. Pre-Nurse interested in MSN

    zzbxdo replied to nursepve21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may as well do your pre requisites to go PA school if you have no interest in nursing. If you commit with nursing, you'll still have to commit a year or 2 of working to be competitive (Preferably...
