    zzbxdo replied to Ally Smith's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Take the damn

  2. Please help! UPenn vs UCI vs UW

    zzbxdo replied to kgiesch's topic in School, College Programs

    At this point maybe you need to research each program individually to know a ton. And maybe the market in California for nurses. Are these direct entry BSN programs? I wouldn't spend a ton of money...

  3. New Grad job offer

    zzbxdo replied to jesRN9392's topic in California Nursing

    Some experience is better than nothing, but I would consider if it may be a barrier to more acute jobs down the road. There is also however, the possibility of networking from your future...

  4. Advice needed for nursing program

    zzbxdo replied to Shanz101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not go strait for bsn? APNs require a BSN, let alone ICU work experience. Time is money, and if crna is the route you want to pursue you're just wasting a terrible amount of

  5. Failed Twice, please help

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

    You should do 100 questions at a time, if not more. Train up for endurance vs fatigue. Worse case scenario on test day is you're gonna take all 2xx questions, be prepared for it. If you're gonna train...

    zzbxdo replied to Sapphirestarr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  8. Kaiser San Diego

    zzbxdo replied to mrsbrightside's topic in California Nursing

    I think Socal and norcal Kaiser are extremely different. Not really sure

  9. Mission Hospital Vs. UCI

    zzbxdo replied to fauxpaus's topic in California Nursing

    I work at another UC and can vouch the UC has great benefits and pension. UCLA treats their employees extremely well, I work at UCSD, but each operates independently thus vary. Union is a great thing...

  10. Kaiser San Diego

    zzbxdo replied to mrsbrightside's topic in California Nursing

    Salary is based on years of experience. The base pay is higher than UC's for sure, but the money maker is the differentials based on speciality (ER/ICUs). You'll be making low 50s baseline I believe...

    zzbxdo replied to RN6789's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi everyone, I am in the process of applying and have a quick question before I try to call the office directly. I've already put my application in for nursingCAS which has all my references etc. For...

    zzbxdo replied to kygibsonRN's topic in California Nursing

    With the opening of Jacobs soon resources are probably put into hiring experienced nurses first. That way they laterally place staff once the doors

  14. Considering moving to Bay Area

    zzbxdo replied to j450n's topic in California Nursing

    You are forced to work part time if you wish to attend a UC with tuition discounts. This is probably more of an issue for those interested in getting vested efficient at it. Likely doesn't apply to...

  15. CSULA Fall 2016 ?? nursingcas.org?

    zzbxdo replied to funsizedprenurse's topic in California Nursing

    Yes. You have to put down every. Single. Class. I did say it took me the whole day, it shouldn't take you as long. The good thing is that once it's in, and more programs switch to CAS it stays in the...

  16. Considering moving to Bay Area

    zzbxdo replied to j450n's topic in California Nursing

  17. Considering moving to Bay Area

    zzbxdo replied to j450n's topic in California Nursing

    Rent is horrible. So will your commute. Those 2 locations are not exactly close so I wouldn't compare them. I've considered moving back home to San Jose and that's 40m commute without traffic to...

  18. CSULA Fall 2016 ?? nursingcas.org?

    zzbxdo replied to funsizedprenurse's topic in California Nursing

    And.. Don't worry about your minor. Where did you put that? Most of your stuff you should be able to

  19. CSULA Fall 2016 ?? nursingcas.org?

    zzbxdo replied to funsizedprenurse's topic in California Nursing

    Nursing cas wants their own set of transcripts. The school of nursing will retrieve it from nursing cas. You may still need transcripts for CSU la itself. It's annoying but once you have nursing cas...

  20. Trying to get into nursing school

    zzbxdo replied to West1738's topic in California Nursing

    Gender means nothing. You are nothing but a number in an application pool on hundreds. Merritt and points are where it matters in a CSU/UC app. Keep up the As and make a spreadsheet of what classes...

  21. Which CSU Nursing Program Should I Apply?

    zzbxdo replied to Premillenium's topic in California Nursing

    Just apply to all csus. I mean, your GPA is definitely strong enough to meet all the programs, doesn't guarantee you anything though. You know what's more expensive than all those apps? Not getting...

  22. UCSD new grad Oct 2015

    zzbxdo replied to kygibsonRN's topic in California Nursing

  23. Chose med surg like I'm supposed to, but really unhappy.

    zzbxdo replied to enytsyrhk572's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You can still with medsurg, but you dislike it AND your opportunity of going into psych is open. I'd apply and see where it takes you. Worse case is you don't get in, and you wait til you can apply as...

  24. New Grad Nurse, Job Advice Please?

    zzbxdo replied to Caitlin023's topic in General Nursing

    You'll be fine. The real learning starts on day 1 as a RN. Don't worry about other experiences outside acute care right now, you'll just be worn out unnecessarily. Just get that first job first and...

  25. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

    zzbxdo replied to Satori77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Burn critical care. 2hr+ dressing changes on 150+kg butter balls are tons of fun. You burn calories for sure. It's unfortunate that we have staff that goes out due to spastic backs etc pretty...
