  1. Updates on graduate experience at UCSF or Uwash?

    RunBabyRN replied to mindfulRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I also plan to go to UCSF for my grad program. They're very well respected in the area, and the university hospitals in the area do a lot of great research. I think you'd be quite happy there, even...

  2. San Francisco Per Diem

    RunBabyRN replied to Hex's topic in California Nursing

    Be aware of the difference in cost of living. Gas is at least $4/gallon in the city, parking is upwards of $30/day, and housing is astronomical (check out Craigslist). Where in the Bay Area are you...

  3. Career Exploration Project

    RunBabyRN replied to taydub123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We see these posts all the time here, and honestly, this isn't the place for them. You have no way of verifying the validity of anyone's statements here of their nursing experience. You're better...

  4. New grads in L&D?

    RunBabyRN replied to bribreeze87's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here in CA, it doesn't really happen, at least no where I've heard of. Postpartum sometimes hires people out of residency programs; I have an offer in postpartum after precepting there. As I plan to...

  6. RN Comprehensive Predictor 2013

    RunBabyRN replied to carolina_mom's topic in General Students

  7. I thought it was what I wanted...

    RunBabyRN replied to SoBeyondLost's topic in General Students

    Why do you want to be a nurse? How does school vary from what you'd imagined? What did you think it was going to be? How are you contributing to your situation? How can you change that? If you look...

  8. ATI Misinfo

    RunBabyRN replied to ReOxyS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That doesn't mean a thing. It only refers to the program at the school at which you took the TEAS. It has no bearing on which programs to which it applies. No need to call or worry. It will still...

  9. Trying to find a career with chronically ill kids.

    RunBabyRN replied to desereelynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another possibility is working as a home health nurse for a company that does pediatrics. I totally agree with SoldierNurse22's point about the job market right now. Most new grads are kind of taking...

  10. CA: Location vs cost? SMU vs CSUN ABSN

    RunBabyRN replied to Enursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Samuel Merritt Fall 2014 BSN

    RunBabyRN replied to beckybee94's topic in California Nursing

    Even if you decide not to go to a CSU, there are people on waiting lists, so you'd lose your deposit, but otherwise would be no worse for the wear if you said yes then changed your

  12. Help! California Nursing Impacted!

    RunBabyRN replied to jconnors's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you considered ADN programs, then bridging to a BSN? Most CA ADN programs run on a lottery system, so as long as you qualify, you're in the pot. Then, if you've already done your prereqs for...

  13. How will a "General Discharge" from the military affect my chances of employment?

    RunBabyRN replied to NationalGuardNurse's topic in Government, Military

    Hopefully it won't come to that- good luck with your weigh in! Should it come to that, I would print out a copy of AR 135-178 and arm yourself with that when you're in the process of doing your...

  14. How will a "General Discharge" from the military affect my chances of employment?

    RunBabyRN replied to NationalGuardNurse's topic in Government, Military

    I'm in a hurry, so I didn't have time to read through your whole post, but as someone who faced an "other than honorable under honorable conditions" discharge, FIGHT FOR YOUR HONORABLE DISCHARGE....

  15. From Military to CNA

    RunBabyRN replied to a_lopez1975's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you're a corpsman (as I was), if you have 2 years of inpatient experience, you may be able to challenge the LVN boards (though you mentioned artillery, so I'm guessing you're not). Look into your...

  16. should I buy an iPad?

    RunBabyRN replied to NurseSN45696's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I use my MacBook Pro for class and my iPhone for apps, and that works well for me. I have no need for an iPad. I love having a laptop, because I study better away from home, and everything is in one...

  17. Is this risking my license?

    RunBabyRN replied to chende's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Run, don't walk! How can this even be legal??

  18. Can you guys etell me if I am going in the right direction with a nsg dx.

    RunBabyRN replied to nette1022's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How do you know if they have knowledge deficit? Look at the whole picture- if they have less than body requirements, WHY? What are the signs that point in that direction? Is this for an actual...

  19. Working while going to school?

    RunBabyRN replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    I tried it in the beginning, but my manager (wasn't a hospital job) wasn't very understanding, and scheduled me a ton. He kinda forced me to quit. If I didn't have a family, I might have managed it,...

  20. What would you have done differently

    RunBabyRN replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    I would have purchased a planner sooner. I love having it for writing in every assignment, clinical, and life event I have going on so I have some semblance of organization. I would also start my...

  21. Military Time

    RunBabyRN replied to krm7's topic in General Students

    I've only seen military time. Sadly, people do things like put 12PM for midnight, or 2PM for 2 in the morning, or 11PM for 11 in the morning. Hence, 0000, 0200, 1100, so they're not confused with...

  22. ABSN/ Second Degree Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to keegs13's topic in General Students

    Going the ADN route would get your your RN and save you money in the long run, as aBSN programs are very expensive, generally. What would your backup plan be with the bachelor's in

  23. Marijuana and nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to swimmer333's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in CA, and it's absolutely not allowed. Some hospitals even test for nicotine use. Perfectly legal, but it increases their insurance premiums when people use. Most places drug test on hire, and...

  24. First Job-OB

    RunBabyRN replied to christina891's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Research breastfeeding techniques and resources in your area. You'll spend a lot of time assisting moms with breastfeeding. Research the risks of preterm labor and birth, as well as post term birth....

  25. Nursing school and a newborn?
