    2014 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    Kuriin replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good job on the interview! I just wanted to correct you that UCSF is not #1. UPenn is. UCSF happens to be #2.

    painless injections

    Kuriin replied to learning247's topic in General Students

    Biggest point to make, original poster, is that you should not hesitate. Remember that once you stick, there's no hesitation. Not to mention, being confident in yourself will make the patient feel...

    Test Ethics Question

    What "kind" of hospital to work for?-Kaiser vs. County vs. John Muir

    Kuriin replied to RNforGod's topic in General Students

    You will make a lot of money working at Kaiser and most places are going the way of the Kaiser or Sutter system. You WILL most likely be working for one of these two systems. So, with that, I would...

    The University of San Francisco ELMSN Summer 2014 applications/acceptance

    Kuriin replied to Lbfb's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good luck, guys. I go to USF but their CNL program is kind of blah. Many of the students don't know what the heck a CNL is, even. Wish we would have a MEPN program for nurse practitioners. Sadly, it's...

    how do you avoid getting bubbles in the syringe?

    Kuriin replied to ravenpuff's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A lot of times, they won't actually tell you this. It's just one of those things where you just come to realize later on that it's easier injecting a little more air and drawing a tad more medication...

    Immunization Records?

    Kuriin replied to Miss.LeoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All they need to do is check your titers in all of the vaccinations. If they're positive, you're good and your doctor will write out an OK on the evaluation sheet. If you're not positive on the...

    Bay area nursing schools that accredits online pre-reqs?

    Kuriin replied to jj431's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Berkeley Extension has classes online (Statistics, Anatomy, Physiology, etc.) however, most schools, if not all schools, require a lab. So, that is an additional class. However, Berkeley Extension is...

    Sorry, you misunderstand me. A CNL is a MSN. Once you graduate to a CNL, you have your MSN. I did not mean a MSN is a

    direct entry level MSN programms

    Kuriin replied to apexapatel's topic in Post Graduate Students

    UVA Grad Nursing, since you actually post here: Do you guys offer online BSN -> NP programs? I have a preceptor who said they would take me if I get into a program. Problem is, I'm in California....

    direct entry level MSN programms

    Kuriin replied to apexapatel's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think you know what CNL nor MSN means. In order to be a CNL, you must hold a MSN (Master of Science in Nursing). The original poster made no mention of desire of being a nurse practitioner...

    I want to look into surgical nursing, but I'm very new to the medical field. Help?

    Kuriin replied to theperfectday0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry. I thought you checked the school's website that you linked. They do not offer ADN or BSN. They offer LVNs. edit: Soldier is right, at least for Kaiser in California. In all my times of being in...

    Kuriin replied to theperfectday0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think LVNs can act as surgical nurses. I think you have to be a full fledged RN before going into PACU and then as a surgical

    Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    Kuriin replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    How you guys can be nurses and so prudish is beyond me. If you honestly think they give a crap about your breasts, you should think again. They're trying to further your education. How would you like...

    3.17 is low, but it's not as low as you might think. I think with other good qualifications, you should have no problem. :) Good

    Kuriin replied to Mia83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I as well took it last summer during 6 weeks. I had to miss an entire week though because I rode my bike from San Francisco to LA. Like I said, statistics is only a hard class if you have a bad...
