  1. Sonoma State University Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to mswtruth's topic in California Nursing

    We had several people commuting to SSU from Novato, one from San Anselmo, and another from Fairfield. You could potentially find someone to carpool, I'm sure. Don't stress about choosing a specialty...

  2. Preceptorship?

    RunBabyRN replied to hkneurorn's topic in General Students

    I would think it could only help you, especially if your school doesn't offer a preceptorship as part of the

  3. How far do you commute for classes?

    RunBabyRN replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a couple of classmates that commute well over an hour each way, and they have kids as well. Sometimes we have to make hard sacrifices to achieve these dreams that will pay off in the long run....

  4. What kind of Stethoscope?

    RunBabyRN replied to rls927's topic in General Students

    Littmans are worth the expense. They're more comfortable to wear, and you can hear better through

  8. Planners and date books

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

    I prefer a paper planner. I've tried SO many times to use the one on my phone or Google, but I still prefer the

  9. 4 summer classes

    RunBabyRN replied to Heart2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be careful about taking too many courses at once. Nursing programs require stellar GPAs, and overwhelming yourself won't help that. I took 3 courses last summer, two of which were at the same time,...

  10. Getting in to a Nursing Program with a 3.0, D in Micro

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

    Are you sure you took the right anatomy, physiology and micro? Most programs require the 5 unit versions. The good news is that if I'm right, taking those courses won't count as repeats. If at all...

  13. Was nursing your first choice entering college?

    RunBabyRN replied to pinkrain94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I'm not much of a songwriter, but I wrote a lot of poetry and short stories. I wanted to get into

  14. New Grad - CA - dejected and no jobs?

    RunBabyRN replied to sandangel2001's topic in California Nursing

    NorCal is the same way. Many of my classmates are having to move out-of-state to find work. At least SoCal has more new grad programs. There aren't any in NorCal. @Jenbean87, many of us have put...

  15. Statistics

    RunBabyRN replied to boragirl02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stay on top of your homework and talk to your professor if you're struggling. Study groups CAN be helpful, if you find a good group that doesn't just chit chat the whole time. If you go for your BSN,...

  16. Busy BRN phone number?

    RunBabyRN replied to delsol7's topic in California Nursing

    Yay! At least you're one step closer, and have a way to track it at this point. Mine just cleared Friday. I'm hoping that the main backup has been cleared for the most part, but it looks like the...

  17. SDSU vs. SFSU Pre-Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to aluong819's topic in California Nursing

    There's a lot of truth here. Most new grad programs seem to be in SoCal, based on what I'm seeing with my classmates. Many are also applying to jobs out of state, as the SF Bay Area is one of the...

  18. How should I become an RN?

    RunBabyRN replied to amandax's topic in General Students

    CNA experience would at least serve you well in knowing what nursing is really like, and having some of those basic skills down, allowing you to focus more on the harder stuff. It can also help you...

  19. Was nursing your first choice entering college?

    RunBabyRN replied to pinkrain94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I changed majors several times before settling on nursing. I wanted to pursue music, but my dream-killing father put the kibash on that quickly. I wanted to be a writer, and majored in English for a...

  20. Anatomy & Physiology Hybrid Courses

    RunBabyRN replied to InquisitiveMind263's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You ought to call the schools and talk to the nursing departments. I know that here, that would not be acceptable, but schools vary. From what I've seen on here, most schools won't accept online...

  21. Study habits!

    RunBabyRN replied to 2016New's topic in General Students

    I would start your own thread, rather than post your question within someone

  22. Which degree path is best for home health?

    RunBabyRN replied to proudRN's topic in General Students

    I agree, go for your ADN. You'll make more than an LVN, and over the coming years, ADNs will be less common in hospital/acute settings. It'll also open you up to more

  23. It's Not Fair!

    RunBabyRN replied to sparky605's topic in General Students

    Things are often different in nursing school. I took an exam HORRIBLY sick, and sadly, my grade reflected it. My instructor was cool about it, because I'd e-mailed her ahead of time to let her know...

  24. Tips for New Nursing Students

    RunBabyRN replied to LoveLife28640's topic in General Students

    Agreed, do a search using various key words (see the box on the top right). #1- find something to help you keep your sanity. For me, it's running. Scrubs may be preselected by your program. If not,...

  25. Busy BRN phone number?

    RunBabyRN replied to delsol7's topic in California Nursing

    There's a big delay, FYI. California BRN Provides Updates on RN Licensing Delays - California Hospital Association Not sure if you heard about this. I haven't tried calling them, but my check just...
