  1. Hi, I'm Ian and I've just applied to RCC's RN program for Spring of 2014. I thought I would start a thread about getting in, the TEAS at RCC, and last but not least encouragement for those trying to get in. I'm at 50 pts. but I haven't taken the TEA...
  2. Direct Entry Psychiatric NP

    tough stuff. I am on a forum for Schizoaffective and I have the same disorder. I've been on so many of the meds. I know people on them. It's certainly doable. I would feel okay with it, but I've had P-docs for quite some time now. Treat symptom...
  3. New grad advice!

    I've been a patient. I've had people laughing at other patients as nurses, I've been told my diagnosis and stormed out of the room, and I've been rudely moved to another section early in the morning while trying to sleep. Modern P docs don't like t...
  4. Nursing with a minor in business administration

    I was ready to transfer in Business and took some time off. Then I went back to school for nursing. I have about 3 classes left so I think I am going to go for a minor. Might as well right? My best assumption is that it's for your own personal pr...
  5. Care Plan help needed!

    Wrong way to solve the problem, get a Careplan book and you will permanently know from here on out. Next if you can get an old Manual of Nursing Practice that would help. If you need to work at clinical, get a small pathophysiology book. about 100...
  6. Riverside Community College RCC Spring Cohort 2014

    True, there is however a bill on the state congress agenda that would initiate a pilot program of allowing community colleges to grant Bachelor degrees. The CSUF program is great and happens on Thurs. for a couple of years. Some classes will need t...
  7. Riverside Community College RCC Spring Cohort 2014

    Care plans are a thing of the past. Lecture on everything is a thing of the past. "No one would fear the dread pirate Wesley, it would be nothing but work, work, work all the time." Sounds like nursing school. Expect about 8-10 chapters of reading...
  8. Wow, what a tough question as well. "Is this typical of nursing schools?" I think that we can only add our two cents on what happened to us. Part of the problem with the debate is that we couldn't possible know something like that. I only know th...
  9. I would like to simply say that I am sorry for what happened to you. There is an association for male nurses; American Assembly for Men in Nursing - AAMN. I would recommend contacting someone like them, for what to do next. I would speak to a scho...
  10. Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

    I had a business transfer before I went to nursing school so I thought about getting into management. CRNA appealed to me so I started doing some prereqs for that. I love psychiatric stuff. I was supper stoked to get a new psychiatric book from th...
  11. Nursing for dummies

    You can look at it from the patient perspective. What are my drug options? Can I drink with that medication? This medication isn't working what else can I take. It's working, but I've gotten really tired. Then there is the psychology, think abou...
  12. You know, I am an intj, look at doctor specialties. That should help a lot. Honestly, I don't see the difference. We are going to analyze the hell out of it, might as well be thinking about the next step up the chain.
  13. Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro

    It's all about SSD at that level of performance. I know you aren't working for Disney or you wouldn't be asking on here so we can rule out the desktop pro. The mac book pro is a step down from that for the photography world. Personally I don't lik...

  21. My First Job as an RN!

    Give them a thank you note after an interview, it should bump you up on their list... just people in general. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Makes me more hopeful.
  22. Hospitals hiring BSN & Obamacare

    97% of my ADN program graduates find a job within one year. I think most of these comments are biased to people with BSN's that feel vastly superior despite taking the same exam. Cool go for a BSN. I respect that. We'll do more clinicals at my pr...
  23. I must have missed where you were strong arming people. I've often wondered the same thing. Something more straight forward that carries some of the same prereqs is Dental Hygiene. They even make good money. Usually, you don't have to ask permiss...
