  1. Sonoma State University Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to mswtruth's topic in California Nursing

    I responded to your other thread to answer this.

  2. SDSU vs. SFSU Pre-Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to aluong819's topic in California Nursing

    Why not do your prereqs at a community college and save your money? There's little preference anymore for where you do them (find out SDSU & SFSU's policy on this). No one will really care where...

  3. Sonoma State BSN

    RunBabyRN replied to scwolf's topic in California Nursing

    The lab at SSU is nice, but we rarely used it (I just graduated). Really only about 1 day at the beginning of each clinical rotation. Most skills are learned on the floor. One of our biggest...

  4. funding school

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

    Cut your expenses down as much as humanly possible. If you can move to a cheaper place, do it. Work part time if possible (ideally as a CNA!). I'm a veteran, so I was able to get my tuition and...

  5. Anyone else terrified you won't get accepted?

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

    I was very nervous about applying, especially because I was young and dumb about my GPA at one time, which dragged me way down. Thankfully I was able to make it work, and I just

  6. Loans for pre reqs

    RunBabyRN replied to tivo87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would you be able to find part time work? I'd be cautious about taking out that much in loans, because those payments would be HUGE! I'm not sure what you mean by, "I would have to take out loans...

  7. Do i need to finish all prereqs before applying for nursing?

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

    Most schools will allow you to apply with one outstanding prereq, assuming you complete the course prior to starting the program. That said, I would contact the school just to be

  8. Introducing myself

    RunBabyRN replied to Mami.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome to AN! Good luck with your

  9. Advice for a new nurse, please

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

    Congratulations! I just graduated this past weekend myself! I've been in health care for awhile, so I'll throw in my own answer here. I think the most valuable thing I've learned that nursing...

  10. Decision

    RunBabyRN replied to TW2nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!!

  11. tb Test

    RunBabyRN replied to torreyun's topic in General Students

    You're going to have to do it again. It must be read 48-72 hours after you have it done. At this point, the test is void. When you have it done again, you don't have to do anything special with it....

  12. University of San Francisco nursing program versus Samuel Merritt nursing program

    RunBabyRN replied to philzcoffeel0ver's topic in California Nursing

    Not a lot of specifics, but a general distaste, and I haven't seen anyone working on these units from SMU. It's the opinion of those I've been around for 2 years in clinicals, not my own. I haven't...

  13. What will happen with all of the ASN programs now BSN is the norm?

    RunBabyRN replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Like LVN programs, they won't go away. Plenty of places still take ADN-prepared nurses. There's talk of there being a shift to ADNs primarily working in non-acute

  14. Just got my Pharmacology textbook...

    RunBabyRN replied to Kevdewd68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll learn how to group things and how to think things through. Once you start grouping things, that really helps. But yes, pharm is tough! Good

  15. I finally start the journey!!

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

    Congratulations on taking the big leaps!! Great job! Wishing you well on your

  16. Hopeful SSU nursing student for Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to meib92's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks! There's a delay with the BRN and a lot of us are caught in that. It's basically that the processing of our paperwork has been significantly delayed, so it's out of our control. The day my...

  17. New to board!

    RunBabyRN replied to Jental1982's topic in General Students

    Welcome!

  18. What's in Your Backpack?

    RunBabyRN replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Students

    Yikes, sorry, I didn't know they'd come up that big! But if you click on the pic, it does a full screen shot, so you can see the whole

  19. What's in Your Backpack?

    RunBabyRN replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Students

    I found it at the campus bookstore. Here are images of

  20. skills new graduates must know?

    RunBabyRN replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    What? More than one right way? You mean we don't work in NCLEX-land? OP, I'm a new grad, but I'm one with a job offer (the only one in my class), and here's what I *think* I've done right. I jump...

  21. How many and which BSN schools or ADN school did you apply to ? Which will you choose

    RunBabyRN replied to Marii's topic in California Nursing

    I applied to 10 CSUs my first cycle (accepted to 2), and only one the second time due to special circumstances. I just graduated from that one.

  22. Favorite Nursing Class

    RunBabyRN replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    I loved maternal child and my preceptorship (but then, I'm studying to be a CNM, and precepted in mother baby!). I really enjoyed psych, to my surprise, as well, but I think this is a case that just...

  23. Losing my mind!

    RunBabyRN replied to jesilyn1220's topic in General Students

    You can do it! My marriage almost crumbled back in September. We've had A LOT of stuff hit while I was in the program (family in the ICU, family moving in on the property, etc). I know one of my...

  24. Graduating nursing school.....now I'm not so sure I want to be a nurse!

    RunBabyRN replied to bearpaw2222's topic in General Students

    I think what you're feeling is very common. If you spend some time on this forum, you'll see this theme repeated A LOT from new grads. It's scary going out there and knowing that there's so much...

  25. What's in Your Backpack?

    RunBabyRN replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Students

    I have a folder/portfolio thing that I've used for clinicals, and I LOOOOVE it. I have a lot of nurses that ask where I purchased it! It's hard, I can cover patient info easily, I can just pull out...
