  1. Complications of gestational diabetes??

    RunBabyRN replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a patient miscarry because of GDM. Probably the worst outcome that can

  2. Personal fertility issues a detriment in OB Nursing?

    RunBabyRN replied to Baubo516's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This particular forum is slower than many of the others, so don't take the crickets personally. :) I think it's hard to say how you'll really feel if you were working on the unit. Would you grow to...

  3. 2014 grads: anyone getting a class ring?

    RunBabyRN replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    Nope. I know I'll never wear it. I'm getting my pin (silver, no gold or 2 point diamond or whatever), and that's enough for me. I'll get a nice frame for my diploma with the university seal on it....

  4. i have a bachelor in biology now i want to become a nurse

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

    What about a traditional BSN? That's a third option. I would apply to all 3 types of programs, and see what happens. No accredited prelicensure program will be entirely online. There may be online...

  5. Other SSU pre-licensure BSN applicants?

    RunBabyRN replied to ThirdGen's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Nice! I imagine as long as your essays were good, you're golden! I'm so excited to graduate! We just took our ATI comprehensive predictor exam tonight, and I had a 96% probability of passing the...

  6. Going with my second choice

    RunBabyRN replied to angela82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on getting into the ADN program! Sometimes we have to take indirect routes to our goals, but we can still get there! Focus on the positive, and enjoy your nursing

  7. Summer 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, 4 weeks? That doesn't seem reasonable. I took Micro in 6 weeks over the summer, and that was rushed. I was dreaming about microscopes and streaking plates every night, and there was an exam...

  8. Which route to take?

    RunBabyRN replied to NewNurs2020's topic in General Students

    I would do everything you can that will transfer to the US. Don't waste your time and money on a separate bachelor's. It'll limit the financial aid you can get when you get back stateside, and it...

  9. Nursing school is killing my relationship!

    RunBabyRN replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

    THIS. Relationships and marriage are constantly tested, and if this is the test that breaks you, at least you're finding out now. Nursing school IS hard, and I think many of us have seen our...

  10. Marajuana Misdemeanor

    RunBabyRN replied to uds16's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Marijuana isn't necessarily legal, it was decriminalized. Shops that sell it are at risk every day for being closed (and it happens), at least here in CA. Jobs here DO drug test. Also, just because...

  11. Will a Nurse Clinical Residency help me land a job?

    RunBabyRN replied to super nerd's topic in General Students

    We have one like this as well, but it's separate from the 10 week one I mentioned. We have to complete 180 hours of a senior preceptorship during our final semester, but we can also apply for this 10...

  12. Process of an AA-BSN route

    RunBabyRN replied to andry754's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can take your prereqs at a community college- no need to waste money on higher tuition. Wherever you do your prereqs, you should be able to transfer them to whichever school you plan to attend....

  13. Microbiology

    RunBabyRN replied to Mchs4735's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most nursing programs won't accept an online version of micro, as there is a required lab element. Just a heads

  14. Other SSU pre-licensure BSN applicants?

    RunBabyRN replied to ThirdGen's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thank you! I am SOOO excited to finally be graduating. I have enjoyed the program overall. It has its shortcomings, as I imagine most programs do. We are only the second class that's in the 2-year...

  15. Summer Student Nurse Intership

    RunBabyRN replied to gametimepresent's topic in California Nursing

    No idea, but again, do a little research, and you can get

  16. Transferring to UCI? PLEASE HELP! I'm completely lost!

    RunBabyRN replied to mmm's topic in California Nursing

    Okay, first off, what is your goal? Nursing? If so, don't waste time with courses that don't fulfill what you need for nursing. I say save your money, go to a community college, knock out your...

  17. SJSU vs CSULB

    RunBabyRN replied to babygirl2014's topic in California Nursing

    One thing with LB is that they have a 2 year BSN, which is nice. I applied to both, and got into LB, but ended up attending Sonoma. I've lived all over CA, including Humboldt County, Sonoma County,...

  18. Summer Student Nurse Intership

    RunBabyRN replied to gametimepresent's topic in California Nursing

    There's a rural summer internship program through Chico State that I know a bunch of my classmates did last year. I don't know much about it, but I'm sure you can find info with a little

  19. Travelers

    RunBabyRN replied to Cutehuntingirl's topic in Travel

    I would post this in the Travel Nursing forum, rather than in the NCLEX discussion

  20. Why do nurses "eat their young"?

    RunBabyRN replied to hope4ccns's topic in General Students

    Good for you for standing up to this nurse. It sounds like you remained respectful in your approach, which is important, and you made her think. I haven't seen a lot of this, but it does exist, and...

  21. Help with LVN to BSN route in California

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

    Why not just apply to a lot of BSN programs and see what happens? LVN and ADN programs are impacted, too, and LVN jobs are getting fewer and further between. Casting a wide net when applying to...

  22. Marajuana Misdemeanor

    RunBabyRN replied to uds16's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Check this forum. I wouldn't be as worried about getting into nursing school as I would about legally being able to work. No point in going to nursing school if you can't

  23. Advice pay the high tuition or bust? Dominican University

    RunBabyRN replied to mswtruth's topic in California Nursing

    Holy crap, no way. Even if you have to wait another cycle or two, what you'd save in tuition is more than you'd make working for that time. Unless you can *easily* pay that kind of money, which I...

  24. suggestion for TEAS

    RunBabyRN replied to scotthyco28's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    For me, it was the ATI book, which the OP didn't like. From this forum, it looks like the McGraw Hill book is good as

  25. Apples to apples: tell me about your program

    RunBabyRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    Type of program: Prelicensure BSN State: CA How many months or years are you in nursing classes? (so no pre-reqs or gen eds - nursing classes ONLY): 4 semesters/2 years How is the program structured?...
