  1. Career change from commercial diving

    RunBabyRN replied to Loungefly's topic in General Nursing

    I think you could do it. See if you can shadow a nurse for a day or two to get a feel. Plenty of people go back and do it in their 40s and even 50s. I am graduating, and at least 5 of my classmates...

  4. Hopeful SSU nursing student for Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to meib92's topic in California Nursing

    You'll be assigned to one of those clinical groups, and won't rotate through all of the hospitals. It works better, for the sake of continuity. A couple of people did switch the second year, but I...

  7. Specialist

    RunBabyRN replied to Besh's topic in General Students

    I agree about waiting. Unless your heart is set on something, don't pick something yet. Plus, the way the job market is right now, take what you can get. Depending on where you are in school, you...

  8. Help, any advice? Might fail a class twice.

    RunBabyRN replied to tara1245's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you planning to apply to an ADN program or a BSN? Most intermediate algebra classes aren't transferable, so they won't be factored into your cumulative GPA if you go to a university. They only...

  9. Your Interview Outfits

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

    I agree, that does sound very casual. I have a black suit, and I wear a shirt with some color to it and some heels. My hair is also short, so I blow it out and wear minimal make up. I'll wear a...

  10. LPN/LVN Program California

    RunBabyRN replied to bpotts92's topic in California Nursing

    If you're up for heading west more, I know Santa Rosa Junior College has a good LVN

  11. schools in CA chemistry and anatomy pre reqs

    RunBabyRN replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never seen a program that accepts high school courses in lieu of college courses. Look at the prereqs for the programs. They usually require 5 unit versions of these classes (chem, anatomy,...

  12. Are study groups necessary to help me succeed in nursing program?

    RunBabyRN replied to mharzi's topic in General Students

    It's a matter of what works best for you. There will be group projects anyway, so you'll be forced to work with a group in that situation. I find that most study groups tend to end up being gossip...

  13. Note taking advise?

    RunBabyRN replied to TheNew1's topic in General Students

    I used a Word document, and when we had PowerPoints, I'd save them and write my notes in the notes section below the slides, that way I knew which slide my notes pertained to, and I wasn't re-writing...

  14. Finals week

    RunBabyRN replied to NurseGirl525's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yikes! We have one final group paper due (about halfway done), and our class is doing Kaplan this week before we graduate next weekend. So this weekend is full of doing Kaplan prep. Fun fun! Oh,...

  15. Nasty virus and upcoming NICU rotation!

    RunBabyRN replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Yup, mask, cough suppressant, hand washing. You'll be fine. :) I think we all had it happen once in school at some

  16. A bit concerned about my age beginning nursing school...

    RunBabyRN replied to mical's topic in General Students

    I'm 34 and graduating. You'd be right in the middle in our class. That said, there is a local private university where there is only ONE mom in the entire class (of I think about 50 students), and...

  17. Navy Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to jayedzee's topic in Government, Military

    I was a corpsman, so my responses are based on the RNs I worked alongside, and much of my info is from 10 years ago. 1. No, from what I understand, it's more classroom-based than boot camp (though...

  18. New Grad Navy Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to L&DinOregon's topic in Government, Military

    I was enlisted, and my experience was 10+ years ago, so bear with me, but you don't get a lot of choice over where you go. You can go through some of these posts and see that people are "stuck" in...

  19. Navy Nurse questions

    RunBabyRN replied to mmabeza509's topic in Government, Military

    If you want to pursue physical therapy, become a physical therapist and then commission (different than enlisting). If you want to become an RN, pursue your BSN, pass the NCLEX, and then commission....

  20. Were you ever a medic in the military? Share your experiences.

    RunBabyRN replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    I was an HM (0000) stationed in a clinic back east. Once I earned that respect and trust, the providers let me do pretty much anything I wanted. I learned SOOOO much from them, and I was able to do...

  21. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    RunBabyRN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    Our lectures have always been several hours all at once, so food is almost a part of our culture, and many of us are too busy to eat before class or wait until after. In fact, we have had several...

  22. Top nursing schools

    RunBabyRN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    http://www.collegeatlas.org/top-nursing-schools-2014.html I thought this was interesting, especially since my school is in there! Good info for those of you checking out schools.

  23. VA medical center job

    RunBabyRN replied to LVNbayarea's topic in General Nursing

    From my understanding with the VA, your CA license should be fine. You could always make a call to the HR department and ask just to be 100%

  24. need some insight on if I should become a nurse or not...

    RunBabyRN replied to direwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, there are a lot of other fields that might be a better fit. Sometimes, it takes awhile to figure that out. I didn't figure out my path until I was about 25, and I'm now 34 and finally...

  25. PCT position while in nursing school

    RunBabyRN replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    Be aware that a PCT job dos not make you any guarantees. The people with CNA/PCT positions in my class don't have job offers waiting for them. I think you're smart to stick with what you're doing and...
