  1. Please help I'm freaking out !

    RunBabyRN replied to arielle326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Review your notes and if you still have your textbooks, those as well. Really, stuff will shockingly come back to you as you go into the organs, drug metabolism,

  2. Private University's

    RunBabyRN replied to Tink Nurse to Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have any specific questions about them? If you do a quick Google search, you will likely yield thousands (well, maybe hundreds) of results. Without more specific questions, it's hard to help...

  3. Not your average Pre-Nursing Student post...

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

    I honestly can't speak to PA programs (I could, but I'd be making it all up! :) ), but I can imagine the market is similar to nursing. It's the only other thing I can think of that would meet the...

  4. California endorsement to another state

    RunBabyRN replied to Eatrealfood's topic in California Nursing

    Yay! Glad it went through! I'm dealing with it as a new grad, and having a job lined up, I'm itching to get my test date!! 7.5 weeks isn't nearly as bad as it was, so that's very reassuring! Good...

  5. NCLEX pass rates down from 2012 to 2013

    RunBabyRN replied to Hailbop16's topic in General Students

    I'm grateful to be graduating from one of these programs. It seems they are few and far

  6. NCLEX pass rates down from 2012 to 2013

    RunBabyRN replied to Hailbop16's topic in General Students

    Yes, the 2013 NCLEX standards (and I'm guessing some questions) changed, so pass rates in most schools did go down. The ATI books have been updated accordingly, but last year's grads were hit hard...

  7. Just got accepted, what now?

    RunBabyRN replied to cbazze9709's topic in General Students

    I sometimes do compression socks (I like ProCompression and CEP), but mostly it's after I've done a long run and will need the extra

  8. Not your average Pre-Nursing Student post...

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

    You could always return to the nursing plan later, if you chose to do so. What about doing something like health sciences and becoming a PA? It's a similar role to a

  9. Would you deliver your baby at your place of employment?

    RunBabyRN replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would. I am also in postpartum (precepted there, will be working there once I pass the NCLEX), and on my last day, I got to care for one of the PP RNs. It was really cool getting to see...

  10. Day Clinicals Vs. Night Clinicals??

    RunBabyRN replied to ChristinaMariee's topic in General Nursing

    One nice thing with days is that you learn not only about patient care, but hospital politics, talking to doctors and interdisciplinary personnel, families, managers, etc. You may also have more...

  11. Best undergrad programs- CA

    RunBabyRN replied to Smwright19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    FYI, Sonoma State, Long Beach, and a few other CSU BSN programs have moved to 2 years, so it won't take any longer than an associates, aside from a couple of added prereqs and general ed courses. Do...

  12. Going to med/surg!!!

    RunBabyRN replied to Ebony2013's topic in General Students

    Eyes and ears open! Write down lots! You'll learn different things from every nurse, and observing what they do and how they do it will pay off (whether it works for you or not). Ask questions!...

  13. California endorsement to another state

    RunBabyRN replied to Eatrealfood's topic in California Nursing

    Have you not heard about the BRN delay in CA? State BRN Working to Correct Delays Caused by Software Upgrades - California Hospital Association Unfortunately, everyone having to renew, recert, or...

  14. Want a CA job-Go to a CA school?

    RunBabyRN replied to aposseadesse's topic in California Nursing

    Haha, yeah, I put plenty of identifying info here- luckily I have yet to put my foot in my mouth (as far as I know...). I'm guessing I know who you are. Looking forward to seeing more of you on the...

  15. Want a CA job-Go to a CA school?

    RunBabyRN replied to aposseadesse's topic in California Nursing

    I'm graduating from Sonoma State's prelicensure BSN program. Just FYI, Kaiser is notorious for NOT hiring new grads, as in, they won't even consider you. I know someone VERY high up with Kaiser, and...

  16. Hopeful SSU nursing student for Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to meib92's topic in California Nursing

    NICUmomNICUnurse is right about the CPR- as long as it's provider CPR, you're fine. You'll have an ATI nutrition book. I never once referenced other nutrition materials (other than through research,...

  17. Sonoma State University Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to mswtruth's topic in California Nursing

    I did. The instructors were great, and the skills lab was quite nice (I've seen a few others). They have an AMAZING sim lab (assuming Edward is still there to run

  18. University of San Francisco vs. San Diego State

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

    Nursing isn't like law or business where they really look at your alma mater (unless you go to some REALLY crappy school). The connections you make during clinicals and utilizing people you know are...

  19. Stethoscope.. Help choosing one.

    RunBabyRN replied to MyOwnBlueSky's topic in General Students

    There are about 15 posts circulating about this exact topic right now (use those key words!). Long story short, we love

  20. Parents I need some advice!

    RunBabyRN replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    School IS your job. You're not a SAHM, and even if you were, he still needs to do his share. Nursing school will be even MORE demanding, and if you guys can't get this sorted out now, you will...

  21. Decision

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

    If that's the case, the ADN might be a good way to go, and you can decide later whether or not to bridge to the BSN while working as an RN; unless your heart is set on that one hospital, there's no...

  22. Best undergrad programs- CA

    RunBabyRN replied to Smwright19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No CSU I know of looks down on people whose prereqs were completed at a CC. As long as your courses transfer (and the college will have good info on that), you're fine. The CSUs I know of also do...

  23. Best undergrad programs- CA

    RunBabyRN replied to Smwright19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The CSUs offer BSNs as well, and will be a little less expensive than UC. There will also be fewer requirements for graduation. The CSUs, in general, have very good reputations with their nursing...

  24. Studying tips / Nursing school student

    RunBabyRN replied to nursetobewalker2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's tough learning how to manage nursing curriculum! I've also heard good things about Saunders during the program, though I did not use it myself. I did a lot of skimming and note cards, and that...

  25. Nursing schools that don't require pre-reqs?

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

    Someone posted earlier today about some for-profit trade school offering ADNs without prereqs, but basically it's that they roll it all into their program, so you get to pay for everything at their...
