  1. pay rates in California (pre-and post tax)

    elisabeth replied to Leilah75_RN's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not even in school yet, but I found this at the California Nurses Association website. It's the contract summary for Kaiser Permanente nurses from 2006 for Sacramento and Bay Area nurses....

  2. What do you think of Sacramento?

    elisabeth replied to m_chatelaine's topic in California Nursing

    I'm still waiting to get into nursing school, but I've lived in Sacramento for a long time. We live in East Sacramento. It's a great, safe neighborhood and we're close to UC Davis Med Center,...

  3. DQ'ed again (Sacramento area apps.)

    elisabeth replied to jda1977's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got the same letters the day before Thanksgiving. I'm applying again to both schools. This will be the third time for ARC and the second for SCC. I'm also applying to the accelerated SCC...

  4. Working while in the program

    elisabeth replied to suzan1814's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We made a decision that once I'm in a nursing program I will not work. I've been working running my own business (home daycare) while taking my prereqs, but once I'm in nursing school, all that ends....

  5. Is anyone in Pharmocology

    elisabeth replied to gdsgrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was taking pharmacology last semester and dropped it because the instructor's style didn't jibe with my style of learning. He had a midterm and a final and that was all of the possible points in...

  6. Things that make you go... ehhh errmm ack!

    elisabeth replied to xt1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still waiting to be admitted to a progam, so all of my experience with nastiness comes from people I know personally. I do daycare and am very used to poop and kid vomit. No big deal. My mom has...

  7. Rejection/Waitlist

    elisabeth replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm on the waiting list at two schools and my number wasn't chosen at the others. I'll reapply, but while I wait I'm taking pharmacology and a medical terminology course this fall. If I'm one of the...

  8. ADNs in California without a waitlist

    elisabeth replied to KasiLynn's topic in General Students

    The accelerated program at Sac City is also not taking applications right now. http://www.scc.losrios.edu/nursing/extendedcampus.html They'll be taking applications in Spring 2007 (not a typo, it's...

  9. Hospitals pay for nursing tuition in return for 3 year contract?

    elisabeth replied to danig0885's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in Sacramento and have seen loan forgiveness programs and hiring bonuses in the ads in the Sacramento Bee. There are also Health Expos held every so often, generally in the downtown area, and...

  10. Does it really take two years to get into Nursing school?

    elisabeth replied to joleigha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Sacramento and have been applying at the local community colleges as well as those in Redding and Eureka. I didn't get in anywhere for the fall semester, but I should get in Shasta College in...

  11. microbiology for pregnant women

    elisabeth replied to maggijo's topic in General Students

    We were required to supply and wear our own gloves in my Micro class. The instructor specifically asked if anyone was pregnant because then they would just observe and take notes rather than risk...

  12. You're going to Community College?

    elisabeth replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think part of the issue may be that not a lot of people know that one can be an RN without a BSN. I didn't know that until a few years ago when my neighbor across the street told me he went to a...

  13. Laparoscopic splenectomy?

    elisabeth replied to Mommy TeleRN's topic in Operating Room

    I had chronic ITP and my spleen was removed in January 1993 when I was 15. My incision is 8.5 inches. :) My platelet count rallied immediately though! :)

  14. Is anyone else SCARED, after reading some posts from 1st years?

    elisabeth replied to Paula7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm excited about nursing school. I'm finishing my last semester of Anatomy & Physiology now and am applying (in progress) for spring 06 admission to the nursing program at Sierra College. It's...

  15. nursing program at American River College in Sac

    elisabeth replied to futureforensicRN's topic in California Nursing

    Yuba College in Yuba City does not choose nursing students by lottery. They go strictly by their waiting list. I spoke with the director of their program and as of last spring their wait list was 2...
