  1. New Guy,Military,Career Change

    RunBabyRN replied to Kamara4Life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be aware that the two GIBs aren't back to back. You can use one or the other. When you get out, talk to the VA rep at your school. You need to figure out which plan is more beneficial, because your...

  2. Seeking Advice - Effective Communications Prerequisite

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

    My speech outlines are similar to essay outlines. Are you taking the course yet? Is your instructor providing any input or guidance in this area? You can always meet with him/her as well to address...

  3. Beginning the journey

    RunBabyRN replied to JasonPB22's topic in General Students

    Welcome! Just be aware that one thing with AN is that anonymity is highly regarded. I would change your photo and maybe remove your city. There are many people on here who are any or all of the...

  4. Terrified about student loan debt. ADVICE

    RunBabyRN replied to becca94's topic in General Students

    I know I should be, but I want it GONE. I'm hoping to make $1,000 payments to knock it out asap. Not a fan of having debt!

  5. New Grad

    RunBabyRN replied to monkey421's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Everyone talks about the Dakotas, but I can't speak to that personally. Most places in the country have an abundance of nurses, and new grads are struggling to find work. Apply anywhere you'd...

  6. Terrified about student loan debt. ADVICE

    RunBabyRN replied to becca94's topic in General Students

    That's still a lot. I'm concerned with my $30K that I have now that I've graduated. The job I have lined up is per diem (as are many new grad positions), and you never know what you can count on for...

  7. Path

    RunBabyRN replied to shygurlRN2BE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The aBSN is probably your fastest route to RN. You could do your ADN, and then bridge to BSN if you chose to later. Depending on your area in SoCal, your ADN may be all you need in the job market....

  8. In Need of Nursing Advice

    RunBabyRN replied to nursinglife10's topic in General Nursing

    I have to ask, are there any repercussions on the nurse that had the patient prior to you? Or on the previous sitter? Were they following any kind of restraint protocols? They obviously failed to...

  9. Moving to San Diego

    RunBabyRN replied to Fabulous34's topic in California Nursing

    The major cities are EXTREMELY competitive in CA. The high pay and lower patient ratios make CA very desirable, and the job market reflects as much. You might want to call HR departments (Scripps...

  10. A&P 1

    RunBabyRN replied to jm4356's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would retake it, and slow down your courses, or your GPA will suffer even more. You may not be able to apply as soon as you'd originally planned. One thing to think about- nursing school moves...

  11. CC--->CSUF possible?

    RunBabyRN replied to trebleclefmama's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not overly familiar with Fresno, per se, but most CSUs accept transfers from CCs. I know at Sonoma, you get extra points for being local, and it's the same whether you're native to SSU, or you're...

  12. New Grad RN program $15/hr

    RunBabyRN replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The residency programs here you PAY to do, and you still have to interview the same way you would for a job. The hiring rate is basically 100%, but it's a 10 week, $800 COURSE through the local...

  13. Ccri credits

    RunBabyRN replied to Shanzing23's topic in General Nursing

    Your credits are good forever, but some of the prereqs may need to be repeated to be more recent. You'll have to check with the colleges to which you're applying. I have some credits (ironically, a...

  14. Question about TEAS V

    RunBabyRN replied to Phattrng's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Your question isn't very clear. As I recall, we couldn't skip questions, but it's been a couple of years since I took

  15. Just received my TEAS books and..

    RunBabyRN replied to chernandez3841's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The technique that worked well for me (96%) was reading through the book cover to cover, marking the pages I needed to review with Post It tabs as I went. Then I went back and reviewed just those...

  16. Nervous

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

    Nursing programs are definitely impacted, so maintaining a top notch GPA is VITAL. Next, research programs in your area with a military/vet preference. That got me into my program! I know here in...

  17. Small Talk - Interview

    RunBabyRN replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Nursing

    Keep doing the mock interviews, especially with people who are experienced with interviews! It'll help "break you in." Good

  18. Any tips for dealing with Mental Health clinicals, next semester

    RunBabyRN replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/psych-rotation-what-925546.html This can give you some answers for parts of your question. Therapeutic communication is the biggest thing to keep in mind...

  19. Going to school: question for nurses

    RunBabyRN replied to Jesshallmark's topic in Nursing Career

    There are a variety of jobs out there, and you never know what might be available when you graduate. I have a friend who graduated last year, and she works in public health, and her position is only...

  20. Shoes

    RunBabyRN replied to aimbig's topic in General Students

    They are expensive, but guys do wear them. My husband has black ones that he's worn for years. He loves them! I saw guys in them all the time at the

  21. Shoes

    RunBabyRN replied to aimbig's topic in General Students

    I tried THREE different pairs before I finally broke down and invested in Danskos. I love them. Because I don't plan to wear all white shoes in the future (hospitals here don't have that...

  22. College Algebra and Statistics

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

    The professor can make all the difference. I had a great professor, and I'd say it was about a 5/10, but I felt the same way about

  23. Question about A&P and nursing school future

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

    You have 127 chapters to read in 3 days. Exaggeration, yes, but it feels that way. Realistically about 12-15 chapters in a week or so. Plus, you have papers (in APA format, no less) to do, often in...

  24. Mom & Nursing Student

    RunBabyRN replied to KnottyNurse17's topic in General Students

    SOOO true. Thank God for a work-at-home husband and retired in-laws that live very close

  25. CNA work - no certificate

    RunBabyRN replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    There's a difference between CNA and RN. RNs must be RNs. If you have experience that is comparable to a CNA, you can potentially get a CNA job. For example, I'm a former hospital corpsman, and did...
