Yes, these roles are different. I used to work as a research nurse and most positions involve gathering data for a research protocol written by a principal investigator (usually a physician) or a...
Hi Sib101, I see that a lot of people have viewed this thread, but no one has had any suggestions so far, which leads me to believe that we are all in the same boat :-) I have continued to use some...
Hi Everyone, I have been working part-time for the last few years as a clinical research coordinator and will be starting a new full time Research Nurse Coordinator position in a few weeks. My new...
IMHO I don't think it has to be an either or decision. I am currently in an ADN RN program, and if there are no jobs when I finish, I will just do a 1 year bridge program to a BSN. That way, I'll...
I just wanted to add my thanks to Solneeshka as well! I am also in my first semester and just started clinicals. I think it's incredibly helpful to have a little script to start with (for me at...
@lilykiss6 - yes, if I moved to Oakland I would take BART to class. I would probably drive to clinicals, but it would depend on where they were. For now, we are trying to find something cheaper in...
Thanks for all of the ideas so far! I'm actually married, and my husband works in Oakland which is one reason why I'm considering the move. Of course the cheaper rent, as well as more space while...

Namedkwon, my rank was in the 50s. I'm not exactly sure what was the total number that they accepted for re-applying students. They have the results for re-applying students posted outside of the...
Hi Everyone! After 5 long years of finishing pre-reqs and three years of applying (one of which I totally botched and failed to get into the lottery), I FINALLY got accepted to the CCSF RN program...
Thanks np20020! This is great info. I am interested to know if you feel that starting out as a NP would have been better for you than working as an RN first. I am currently working on my prereqs to...
Hi All, Perhaps (and most likely) I am living in la-la land, but does anyone know of any programs that pay for nursing school if you commit to working in an underserved area? I know that there is a...
No, this is actually great! I am still in the same place I was 5 months ago . I can see that many other people have read this posting, so even if it wasn't applicable to me, someone else may have...
