    GrenIedGal replied to SerbGrad,BSN,RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats NurseKitty21!!! Very exciting. I hope to hear how you like the new grad program at Scripps Encinitas. I live around the block from there and finish my BSN in Feb. It's one of my top places to...

  2. Thinking of giving up FNP program

    GrenIedGal replied to Guest838984's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I vote take a break. School isn't going anywhere, you love your current job, and you can return when you're recharged and refreshed with a clear goal of WHY you want to get your MSN/NP. It sounds like...

  4. Help with Schools in California applied at WGU

    GrenIedGal replied to surgtechg's topic in School, College Programs

  6. WGU Prelicensure Program SoCal-Sept 2016 Cohort

    GrenIedGal replied to GrenIedGal's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know how they define 'breaks' but you get mini breaks (like a week or so) after one term finishes (if you're on top of your work)--and once you're accepted into the nursing portion, you will...

    GrenIedGal posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hi everyone. We will be relocating back to North County SD in the next year. I am looking at nursing school options and don't see many. I would be a second degree applicant and most interested in ABSN...

  13. WGU Pre-licensing BSN for 2015
