  1. Foreign BSN, no work experience. Employable in CA?

    zzbxdo replied to mpgj83's topic in California Nursing

    Check the world nursing forum, sounds like getting a bsn from the phils is not equivalent according the CA brn and specific nursing courses are required. I'd check there, sounds like it won't be an...

  2. nurse organizer fanny pack

    zzbxdo replied to onyok's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Our unit wears our own unit t-shirts to work. It works well cause I think scrub tops look horrible and I also hate stuff in my pockets. I rock a fanny pack proudly and look awesome double

  3. Any one here from California?

    zzbxdo replied to stratus93's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't really understand what you're trying to ask dude. Go see the counselors to map out your courses needed. Units required include general education + actual prerequisites. There's a general...

  4. 41 yr old male wanting to start a 2nd career in nursing?

    zzbxdo replied to simonJ's topic in Men in Nursing

    Dude, you totally missed her/his point. The advice was pretty solid. It may be the institution, go to another. But it seems like you're very bitter and feel very strongly about it that you ignore...

  5. Guys, what do you like best about being a nurse?

    zzbxdo replied to FSUNurse2b's topic in Men in Nursing

    I occasionally browse the burn forums here now and then to see if anything interesting pops around and I recall some of your posts. I'd have to say you probably get the best selection of eye candy...

    Mid 30s to low 40s depending on the

  7. Cal state stanislaus?

    zzbxdo replied to Courtcatt's topic in California Nursing

    Also regarding the 1 year difference. At CSU Stan you're preloaded with 1 semester of theory before entering clinicals. This is where you practice skills, assessments, go through pathophys and all...

  8. Cal state stanislaus?

    zzbxdo replied to Courtcatt's topic in California Nursing

    I am a graduate from CSU Stanislaus, and I encourage you to choose the route that offers higher education. Most non accelerated BSN public institution programs are 5 or 6 semesters, with the exception...

  9. Possibly moving back to California.Are there experienced RN jobs for less than 1 yr?

    zzbxdo replied to TalleRN's topic in California Nursing

    From what I see, you won't be competitive until you have at least 2 years under your belt and it varies depending on the acuity of the unit as well. It will also help you get a stronger letter of...

  10. UCLA New Grad RN 2013

    zzbxdo replied to matthewandrew's topic in California Nursing

    At this point, you guys are only making yourselves more anxious and stressed over waiting for calls backs and word from each other. Apply/interview and move on. It'll be much more satisfying when you...

  11. Male Nurse Hair Styles

    zzbxdo replied to Benners's topic in Men in Nursing

    That said, I rock a faux hawk as well, and other days comb it over, and others it's a mess as I run out the door shuffling my hair with wax. My patients and coworkers enjoy my hair, I oddly get a lot...

  12. Male Nurse Hair Styles

    zzbxdo replied to Benners's topic in Men in Nursing

    Meh. As a student, I'm pretty sure the professors expect modesty and are more on the conservative side. That said, their students represents the education staff, even at work if they still work by...

    1yr @ucsd. 38 or 39 (I don't look at my stubs lol) with differentials of 4(nights) and

  14. Pay Rate

    zzbxdo replied to christinachamnong's topic in California Nursing

    Yeahhhh I agree. Post above is pretty exaggerated. My folks' properties in desirable areas of San jose/Milpitas are 500k +/- 50k for 4br. Anyways I don't think op is looking to buy a home either....

    zzbxdo replied to Sophia, RN's topic in California Nursing

    They'll contact you but the process usually takes several months. I'm sure there are more threads regarding county positions

  16. LA county Relief nurse 2013

    zzbxdo replied to Sophia, RN's topic in California Nursing

    All California county positions put you on an eligible list and are ranked based off experience etc. The lower the number the better I think... I forget it's been a

    zzbxdo replied to matthewandrew's topic in California Nursing

    Sorry, I interviewed for ucla last summer cohort, I only know peeps in the COU and SDS at Santa

  18. Pay Rate

    zzbxdo replied to christinachamnong's topic in California Nursing

    Anyways back to your primary questions, medsurg Pt ratios vary by institution. A community hospital may be 5 to 6:1 or whatever the limits are for cali law. Places like ucla, medsurg pts are higher...

  19. Pay Rate

    zzbxdo replied to christinachamnong's topic in California Nursing

    Which part of the central valley? I went to school near Modesto and most of my classmates were hired by DMC. As a new grad I believe they were making a bit more, if not just as much as me here in SD....

  20. Pay Rate

    zzbxdo replied to christinachamnong's topic in California Nursing

    I disagree. I've grown up in the bay area, I work in San Diego, and regularly visit my girlfriend living in LA. Unless you are living in Sf, yes it is expensive but the bay area itself is much more...

  21. To wait or not to wait? Any input is welcome!!!!

    zzbxdo replied to hdoe's topic in California Nursing

    There's really no point in getting your feet wet with a lvn. Work and study hard and just go strait to your bachelor's. A lot of lvn to bsn programs cost more than a generic bsn program and a public...

  22. New Grad Programs: No Paid RN Experience Requirement?

    zzbxdo replied to RN2b599's topic in California Nursing

    Your work background can be assessed with a social security check. As an employer, it's pretty easy. How strict employers are on this policy varies. If you have work experience, institutions like...

  23. New Grad Relocating to California

    zzbxdo replied to createsomething's topic in California Nursing

    Unless you're able to produce a side income enough for decent rent or saved gobs of cash, moving to LA without a job lined is a black hole for your bank account. Realistically, many if not most new...

  24. New Grad moving from FL to CA

    zzbxdo replied to lkws5's topic in California Nursing

    Yes the market is near impossible in California, that said LA/orange county has the most new grad programs. No you have no bargaining privileges, many would kill for low/non paying position just for...
