  1. I'm about to graduate from nursing school!

    RunBabyRN replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! Our pinning is May 9! Have you been searching for a job yet? Don't forget any connections you made in nursing school, clinicals, etc. I connected with a nurse manager in clinicals,...

  2. Start from scratch or bring in old credits?

    RunBabyRN replied to uds16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I discussed this with my nursing program director, and she said that you are required to submit all transcripts or risk expulsion for academic dishonesty. That risk is always there if you decide to...

  3. How many pre-req classes

    RunBabyRN replied to SeattleNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will need to take things like chemistry and biology for anatomy, physiology and microbiology. Our chem grades were considered for the nursing program. You'll also need some of these things for...

  4. Other Side of the "Clinicals" Coin

    RunBabyRN replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    There has actually been discussion about this with management, and what I wrote is based on those conversations. Fortunately, in our clinicals, the nurse that is assigned to the patient IS a...

  5. New grad market in California 2014?

    RunBabyRN replied to CNA1991's topic in California Nursing

    I'm graduating in a week, and as far as I know, I'm the only person in my class (of 23) with an offer. I am also in the Bay Area. My offer comes from the unit where I precepted, and is in the area I...

  6. Other Side of the "Clinicals" Coin

    RunBabyRN replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    It's really a shame when students aren't present for hand off. They miss out on so much this way, not only about the patient, but how to pass a patient on to the next nurse, and how to receive change...

  7. Will no preceptor ship hurt my chances for employment?

    RunBabyRN replied to winterlms's topic in General Students

    Is this at a private university? For profit school?

  8. Working after graduation and B4 taking NCLEX-RN

    RunBabyRN replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in General Students

    I think there are a lot of variables to consider. In my case, we can't afford for me to NOT work, and I am hoping to take a temporary job at an old place of work for a few weeks in the interim. I...

  9. What was your most difficult ATI or HESI exam?

    RunBabyRN replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    Pharmacology ATI was the hardest for me. That or psych, because of all of the funky stuff with psych meds. I felt the maternal child (my area of specialty) and leadership were the

  10. How do I become and RN?

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

    Plenty of schools offer preliecensure or traditional BSN programs, just search around. You'll need to complete all of your general ed and your prerequisite courses for the nursing program you plan to...

  11. Which CSU nursing program should I go to?

    RunBabyRN replied to aluong819's topic in California Nursing

    I thought you might find this interesting: Top Nursing Schools in the US for 2014 -

  12. Which CSU nursing program should I go to?

    RunBabyRN replied to aluong819's topic in California Nursing

    My vote is for SFSU. Here are my reasons: You speak Chinese. How well? Get certified as a medical interpreter if at all possible. It will really help your job prospects, especially in SF. It...

  13. fail my teas!! :(

    RunBabyRN replied to nat_22's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It might be good to take more ESL courses. When you get into nursing school, there will be a lot of papers to write, and you'll really want to have your skills down. It's also important when you're...

  14. Which specialty would you like to end up in?

    RunBabyRN replied to baseball mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I knew when I went into nursing school that I want to be a midwife and that I wanted to find a position in L&D or postpartum. Same goal as I approach graduation, and I have a job lined up in PP!...

  15. almost done with nursing school but still feel unsure

    RunBabyRN replied to ericninetwo's topic in General Students

    What she said. :) You're still in school! It's okay! No new grad, even, feels like, "I've got this." Nursing is a big responsibility, and there's a lot to know, and that's okay. Have you talked...

  16. Nursing pre-req textbooks?

    RunBabyRN replied to keho1986's topic in General Students

    Probably anatomy. I haven't referenced any old textbooks (and I'm about to graduate), but there have been times I'd probably have looked at that if I wanted to look in an old book. I usually just...

  17. College grad/ military medic/corpsman going into nursing

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

    Gather copies of everything from your doctors since your discharge along with your military medical record and your service record and DD214 and head to the VA when you get back, or go through one of...

  18. College grad/ military medic/corpsman going into nursing

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

    Have you applied for any kind of disability with the VA? Do you have any post-9/11 GIB left? If you were able to move and establish residency, that might help, of course, too. I know that out of...

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

    Semper

  20. College grad/ military medic/corpsman going into nursing

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

    In CA, Sonoma State, CSU Long Beach, and I hear CSU East Bay are among the schools offering this. I am sure there are more if you contact schools. None of them had them on their websites, but I...

  21. College grad/ military medic/corpsman going into nursing

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

    I just thought of this- research schools that have guaranteed admission for veterans. That helped me get into my program, as my GPA was below the accepted average. My HM experience at least helped...

  22. Recommendations on Courses Before Nursing School?

    RunBabyRN replied to Maylee5515's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Languages, particularly anything commonly spoken in your area. English- brushing up on these skills will be VITAL in nursing school and beyond. Medical terminology, if you don't have a firm grasp on...

  23. Pcc vs San Diego Mesa college

    RunBabyRN replied to mmm's topic in General Students

    I attended 10+ years ago, so I can't really offer any current info on classes, and I as I never took prereqs there, I also can't speak to how impacted they are. I know at the school where I did take...

  24. Pcc vs San Diego Mesa college

    RunBabyRN replied to mmm's topic in General Students

    Does PCC have a deal with UCI as a feeder school, where you have preference? If not, it really doesn't matter where you do your prereqs. Guaranteed classes is really nice, especially with how...

  25. I want to attend University of San Francisco but I need more information.

    RunBabyRN replied to Crista Galli's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, you will need to take all of your general ed in order to obtain your BSN. I have no idea about the articulation agreement. While the minimum GPA for application is 3.0, your actual GPA needs to...
