hi, I am in Canada now working, but got my RN in California and a BA from berkeley. I want a BSN on my way to getting a masters, but I don't want to pay all that mulla..... I know, but I have a good reason to be cheap. Also the terms of my work vis...

Well actually I want to get the BSN so that I can get the masters in thailand. It's complicated..............

hi, I feel you in this. I got a BA from berkeley too. I then finished my AA in Fresno City College ( transfered from merritt). As I completed my ADN, I was told that I had to complete the local government thingy. I had to fight this or not gradu...

hi, Thank you. I have looked into it and it's 134.00 per unit for at least 34 units. Which is still thousands of dollars. This is still mightily expensive for me and my situation. I could still use cheaper. Anyone have a good idea about that? R...

I graduated from Fresno City College. Something to be aware of is that they are really good about taking in a transfer...which is what I did. You can go to one school and then go to this one later..... -ran

hi, I had a really bad experience working in San Quentin. They pay 10k a month, and still can't keep nurses? Something is wrong. It is not a supportive environment. Some of the guards don't like the nurses giving care. The older nurses who have ...

so your saying that there was not going to be a replacement for this LVN. She was going to be required to work a double?

hi, I just graduated from nursing school in northern california. The simple answer to your question is that, yes, all nursing schools here are impacted. The more complex question...how do I get in? I have found that schools ( ADN programs ) have two...

hi, I understand that I should go into med/surge for the first year, but ultimately I want to move into ER and then....... I am now in Fresno, but I really have no desire to live here so anywhere else in the state, country, western world would be fin...

hi, I am just finishing up nursing school...YAY......but I need to find a job, should be relatively easy right? Well I'm sorry busy at the end here it's incredible, I'm sure you understand. I am looking for something specific. I want a great new gr...

hello, I was wondering if you might get back to me, or leave me an email. I am just completing nursing school and have spent a couple of years teaching english in japan. I would be interested in any job which could help me stay in the region.... Si...

hi, I am almost graduated, WAHHHOOOO. I am interested in working Canada. So I will be going from California to Canada. The opposite direction most people go.....I was wondering what is involved. I guess I am just starting to do my research....wh...

I hated my old school. And I had good reason, they had a 70% attrition rate, low NCLEX scores, and they're license to teach was suspended by the BRN ( I am not sure what that entailed ). The Director actually had to step down. My new school is fine,...

hi, I am really dissatisfied about my school. I've done the research and thought about this a lot. What I think it all comes down to is that if I transfer. 1) It will be difficult to find a school to take me. 2) It will be difficult to get the scho...

such as?

hi, Don't get me wrong. I have not been kicked out, it's just that I'm worried, and I think with good reason. I'm at a school with a horrible atrition rate, somewhere under 1/3 of the people graduate from this school. One clinical instructor bragg...

soooooo..... Let me get this straight. If I get kicked out of my nursing program, after the second year, I could start at Excelsior and transfer my first year of classes ( or take the tests.... )

Sounds like you already have made your decision........... but, didn't you research this program before you began? ---not really, I mean how many of us know what nursing school is going to be like until we are in it. I went to Berkeley, and figured ...

seriously, we lose a lot of students in clinical....and after the first semester, there is not one that I believe was appropriate. I know, I know....I was listenting to what they said, but really you got to trust me on this. I don't think clinical i...

Yeah I think the not being able to get into another program is the real problem. On the other hand if you transfer after the first semester...... You have the good grades from that school always. If you fail at the new school, then you never have ...

hi, thanks for the response. I think that the real problem is that if I get kicked out, I would never be allowed back into a nursing program.......... but if I transfer, I can always use that year of nursing school...... All my pre-requisites are a...

man I hear you. I think nurse instructors think that they are weeding people out so there can be good nurses...high standards and the like..... I wonder though how much of this is....I went through it, so you should go through it in the same way I d...

yeah, I have had some trouble getting through the program. I think my situation is different then most, but I got to say that if your not really into it, you really should talk to nursing students. We are a stressed out bunch. I spend a lot of tim...

You're all missing it. I am top of my class in scores, bottom of my class in ability to get along with clinical instructors. ( and dont just advise me to get better at getting along with them....that's a duh) To make matters worse, all my pre-requ...

Kaiser loans a forgivable loan of about 5,000 a semester. When I say forgiveable, I mean they will pay of your debt if you work for them for X time. That's what most of the students are doing in my program that have this problem
