  1. Know anything about Gurnick Academy LVN program in San Mateo?

    BladderCancerSxMgt posted a topic in California Nursing

    Anyone have any experience/knowledge of the LVN program at Gurnick Academy in San Mateo, CA? I understand they're a new program ("approved" vs. "accredited" on the BVNPT site) but was hoping someone...

  2. Veterans Affairs and NLN

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to WildviewLPN84's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, but the VA is big on accreditation. I have a clinical psych PhD from a program accredited by the American Psychological Association but my internship was accredited by another entity. Now the VA...

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to Accountant to Murse's topic in Texas Nursing

    Does anyone know how many applicants and number of available slots the TWU weekend program has? Is it a little easier to get into because it's for people with a BS or higher in something else? Thanks,...

  4. Moving to SF...HELP!

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to jzprple's topic in California Nursing

    When I suggested the UCSF temporary employment pool, I just meant it as a way to find a job, any job to keep food on the table till the new grad programs open up. And if you got a job in a clinical...

  7. Moving to SF...HELP!

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to jzprple's topic in California Nursing

    Sorry, I don't know anything about new grad programs but if you want something to help out a little bit financially, you should look into the temporary employment pool at UCSF. You can get at least...

    YW - good luck with your studies.

  11. Direct-entry MSN programs

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The text below is from the clinic website - Note I am longer affiliated with the clinic. I volunteered there for 2 years and thought it was a great place to get experience. Your mileage may vary. Dave...

  12. Direct-entry MSN programs

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    They provide training to do whatever you're gonna do for them. For the men's STD clinic, I had training one night a week, plus working the Sunday afternoon /evening shift doing what I could do. I...

  13. Direct-entry MSN programs

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Let me also put in a plug for the Berkeley Free Clinic. It's a couple of blocks from UC. I got GREAT experience there as a Volunteer Medic in the men's STD clinic. You do physical exams, interview...

  14. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    Depends on who you ask . . . Homes won't serve as ATMs forever http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/08/14/INGN3E5T5F1.DTL&type=printable While they may watch "Flip That...

  15. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    Still pretty pricey. I'd suggest Vallejo/Napa/Fairfield area in the North Bay. At least somewhat more affordable (boy is THAT a relative term) and there are ferries into SF if you work there. I used...

  16. Online Science Courses

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    opalm is right. safest thing to do is check with the school you intend to enroll in to make sure they'll accept online classes. that said, MANY people have posted to the effect that the transcripts...

  17. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand your concern. As a Buddhist, I don't want to be slicing and dicing on another person/animal/being. That's one of the reasons I decided NOT to take A&P at my local CC and to take it...

  18. Input on borderline BD

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to TitaniaSidhe's topic in Psychiatric

    I agree with psychrn03 and lucianne. Marsha Linehan's Dialectical Behavior Therapy is the only empirically validated psychotherapy shown to work with borderlines. Linehan has written a great book on...

  19. EC grads...need your input to finalize my decision to enroll

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to copnlpn2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Some cc's in CA operate on the ladder model. One of them (Gavilan College) has students become a CNA, then an LVN, then get the ADN. I don't think there are challenge exams for the ADN students. They...

  20. ONLINE Accelerated BS to BSN - Anyone See This Post???

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to fry.girl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This program does sound great, especially for those of us in CA where it's a race to see what you get first, your nursing school acceptance letter or your first retirement check. But the bad news is...

  21. DrNP: What does it mean to you?

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to ali_gator's topic in General Students

    Oh, I think they're trying . . . There are a lot of fields where the entry-level degree used to be a master's that have begun to push the doctorate as the entry-level practice degree. Physical therapy...

    THe January issue of the journal "Nurse Practitioner" usually has the list of who can do what where. They have 2 color-coded maps: 1 for legal authority for scope of practice and 1 for prescriptive...

  23. What was the cost of your LPN school

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to mrscableman's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Perhaps. But in the SF Bay Area, LVN programs at CC's have waiting lists, just like the RN programs. Also, for a single person with a day job trying to do a career switch, there is only one LVN...

    Thanks.

  25. Excelsior college - moving to California

    BladderCancerSxMgt replied to sunflowerrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks. I understand that the 30 unit option = no ADN but if a diploma nurse (= no ADN) who is an RN can go through a BSN completion program, I don't understand why someone who did the 30 unit option...
