1. Tips for Job Hunting in So-Cal

   SamuelMorris posted a topic in California

   Hey everyone, I just got my license after finishing my ADN program in December. I'm starting the job hunting process and am a bit overwhelmed with the number of hospitals. But my main worry is that many of them avoid new grads like the plague. I wil...

   I found out this morning I passed the NCLEX. The Pearson Vue trick appears to work yet again. They got my my results in about 36 hours which was pretty quick. Good luck everyone else

   SamuelMorris replied to RNkarlaaaa's topic in NCLEX

   So I took the NCLEX this morning, I'm in CA and am now waiting for results. 75 question shutdown and I used uworld exclusively for prepping. Did the whole qbank in 75 question tests with a few shorter ones when I was pacing myself. Scored about 50% a...

4. Golden West College Fall 2016, Spring 2017

   SamuelMorris replied to Mgutierrez's topic in School Programs

   Well, it could be a good sign if you see people with 62's getting in as it should mean you are close to the top of the list, you most likely have the points you submitted as long as you included the documentation to back them up.

   pathophysio is not required, I have a full aa and had basically all the required ge classes done. You won't need anything outside the required classes, pathophysio and pharm are the only 2 courses i'd recommend, anything else is just way overboard.

   SamuelMorris replied to Mgutierrez's topic in School Programs

   I mentioned the few changes I was aware of, but other than that no, I'm not entirely sure what the new circulum entails, but the schedule is mostly the same. There were a grand total of 16 clinical days, they vary in length slightly by facility, but ...

   SamuelMorris replied to Mgutierrez's topic in School Programs

   Hey everyone, I'm a spring 2016 student who just finished his first semester and can answer some questions if you'd like, however they are changing the entire curriculum this fall (they were supposed to do it for us but they delayed it), I'm not sure...

8. Advice needed, trying to stay per diem

   SamuelMorris replied to Alisonisayoshi's topic in Career Support

   I understand your trepidation and the idea you are loyal to your job, but you have to remember that at the end of the day, If it suited them to fire you, they would do so without a 2nd thought. Job loyalty isn't a hugely admirable thing when your wor...

9. Which CSU Nursing Program Should I Apply?

   SamuelMorris replied to Premillenium's topic in California

   CSU's are so impacted, I'd cast the net far and wide. They all have about the same quality in programs but are all impacted to death. I'd highly recommend applying to every single one you can, I know it can be expensive but sitting around waiting to ...

10. RN evening/weekeng program

    SamuelMorris replied to jessical99's topic in California

    Due to the fact you already have a bachelors, I would recommend a accelerated bachelors to bsn program (aka A-BSN program). Certain private and csu programs offer it. It is no joke to do such a program, It will be a full time commitment of around 1-2...

    SamuelMorris replied to pigloo's topic in California

    Yeah, that sucks. I would give them a call. I did a few weeks ago to confirm my email was correct and also to verify that I had the number of points I thought I did. As long as your friendly it shouldn't be a problem, linda is very nice. BTW, ATTENTI...

    SamuelMorris replied to pigloo's topic in California

    Well I have some good news for you all, I just got a email offering me a spot in the spring 2016 class (I'm guessing I got dals spot). I had 56 points to offer you all a frame of reference for how far down the list they are. Good luck everyone

    SamuelMorris replied to pigloo's topic in California

    I am on the alternate list waiting hopefully for a slot to open up.

14. Golden West College Fall 2015/Spring 2016

    SamuelMorris replied to pigloo's topic in California

    I'd imagine if i got accepted into the fall at one program, and the spring at another. I'd probably choose the one that's 6 months sooner as well.

    SamuelMorris replied to pigloo's topic in California

    I only had 56 points (finish my AA this semester so I didn't get the extra 5 points). I'm hoping to maybe get in through the alternate list if I'm lucky. Someone else got in with 44 points from the list so here's hoping. It looks to me 69-70 is the s...
