    zzbxdo replied to CaliRN13's topic in California Nursing

    You have an increased chance, but I wouldn't be overly optimistic like johnny and state you have a great chance. Definitely better than nothing. I wouldn't consider a commute if you're in sd. Maybe...

  2. not what i expected

    zzbxdo replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Students

    nursing school was definitely clique-y. My cohort wasn't so bad but there was a handful who had their own study groups, but as a class we were pretty cohesive. it may change down the road when...

    zzbxdo replied to Pancake86's topic in General Students

  7. No Peds clinical site- does my school suck?

    zzbxdo replied to Ihearthearts's topic in General Students

    Our area had very little opportunities with such a minimal pediatric population. We had a strong l&d with as much pediatrics as possible but nothing much could be done about it. I recalled some of...

  8. UCSD New Grad Program - August 2013 Postings

    zzbxdo replied to CaliRN13's topic in California Nursing

  9. Possible to take extra class per semester at another school during nursing program?

    zzbxdo replied to RnStudent2021's topic in General Students

    zzbxdo replied to S-Rank's topic in Male Nursing Students

    zzbxdo replied to S-Rank's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hohoho trust me once you start work it'll be harder, unless you're staying in the same town without a new outside routine. Harder to cook and plan meals, sometimes you'll feel wasted from consecutive...

    zzbxdo replied to Zgb9793's topic in Men in Nursing

    Rule of thumb is metros, very desirable areas prefer BSNs. Everywhere not hiring new grads? False, but very true for California. A lot of my buddies end up going to Texas for their first job, there...
