    Accelerated Courses in the SoCal Area

    OrganizedChaos replied to SoCalJulia's topic in California Nursing

    Well if you can find a class that fits your schedule. I know at a community college not far from me the science classes are hybrid, all you'd have to go in for are labs & testing. Psych maybe...

    Accelerated Courses in the SoCal Area

    OrganizedChaos replied to SoCalJulia's topic in California Nursing

    I'd say the only way for it to be "accelerated" is to take the classes over the summer or during a shorter term. But if you've been out of school for awhile, I wouldn't. I know when I have to retake...

    OrganizedChaos replied to usadsam's topic in Nursing Career

    Lol. She's not gonna know who Dougie Howser is. But you're better off going for your RN-BSN since you're so young. If you know that's what you want to do, go to a community college & knock out...

    Pregnant and Working First RN Job

    OrganizedChaos replied to bkchick's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with the PP, you need to focus on yourself & your baby. I was working at a new job as well when I found out I was pregnant. Thankfully I had a really great boss who was supportive of my...

    Are they doing away with the ASN programs?

    OrganizedChaos replied to ac9390's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to check the job market where you're at. I know the hospital where I live will hire ADNs. But if I were to apply to a bigger city, like San Antonio or Houston, I would need my BSN. I don't...

    Nurse sleeping with coworker

    Exactly. Unless there is proof, no boss wants to hear rumors. If you just go on hearsay the person the rumors are based upon will just deny everything unless there is

    Nurse sleeping with coworker

    OrganizedChaos replied to mommasgirls's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You really need to sit down & talk to her about this situation because someone will end up finding out & reporting her. Like the PP said, if she brushes you off then she really isn't your...
