    NewNurs2020 replied to NewNurs2020's topic in Ob/Gyn

    NewNurs2020 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Our ADN program in CA moved up our preceptorship in hopes we can get our 96 hours before things get worse. We are in our last semester so it would really suck not to finish clinicals. All our lectures...

  8. To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate, That Is The Question

    NewNurs2020 replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A lot of pediatricians, especially in California, are refusing patients not utd. I understand their reasoning but at the same time believe it does more harm then good. The ultimate goal is keeping...

  9. To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate, That Is The Question

    NewNurs2020 replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A lot of it is a distrust for pharmaceutical companies and politics. It’s not just the science people struggle with. Some people would be more apt to vaccinate if they could get single vaccines vs....

  12. ARC/SCC ADN FALL 2019

    NewNurs2020 replied to LoveQuartz515's topic in School, College Programs

    I think chamberlain puts more emphasis on the hesi vs gpa. I was accepted last year with a 3.7. Many other ppl I talked to had similar GPAs but only ppl with higher Hesi scores were offered a seat....

    NewNurs2020 replied to LoveQuartz515's topic in School, College Programs

  14. ARC/SCC ADN FALL 2019

    NewNurs2020 replied to LoveQuartz515's topic in School, College Programs

    I think overall every local school has a good reputation and will get you a job as long as you pass NCLEX. That’s just the opinion of some of the staff at a downtown sac

  15. ARC/SCC ADN FALL 2019

    NewNurs2020 replied to LoveQuartz515's topic in School, College Programs

    Looking at NCLEX pass rates, schedule and distance are good ways to decide. I go to SCC and haven’t heard much about ARCs program in comparison. Staff at one of the hospital sites told me they...

    NewNurs2020 posted a topic in General Students

    My professor said it is helpful to knockout some certificate classes like ACLS and EKG classes over the summer. We will be graduating from the RN program May 2020. I want to get into L&D so I will...

  23. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    NewNurs2020 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students
