1. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

   ladyjo replied to mirandaaa's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm there with everyone else who has to work. I have two children, 2 and 7, and we live in California where it is highly difficult to make it on one income unless you are super blessed. I'll be starting an ADN program at SRJC in the spring of 2016, a...

   ladyjo replied to sweetpea444's topic in School Programs

   I received notification of a slot for Spring 2016 last week and am scrambling to get the paperwork done in the next 3 days. Already trying to figure out the bridge path from ADN to BSN to MSN to NP!

3. Grieving over not getting into nursing school

   ladyjo posted a topic in General Students

   Greetings, I just wanted to start a thread for those of us who feel lost after not getting into nursing school. I live in a rural area where there are two options to go to school--get a secondary BSN through a competitive state school program (which ...

4. Half of the class fails

   ladyjo replied to kblas's topic in General Students

   I know--the CNA class! Working days and taking the class at nights for almost 2K...School would start mid-summer....If I could go back and talk to my 21-year-old childless unmarried self, I would certainly shake her for choosing fine art photography ...

9. Sonoma State Fall 2015 Applicants

   ladyjo replied to Jl0202's topic in General Students

   They did not tell me when decisions will be made. I am guessing with the late deadline and the huge number of applicants that it will be later this month or next month. I so, so don't want to have to do SRJC and then bridge to BSN for 3 years (consid...

    ladyjo replied to Jl0202's topic in General Students

    I found NursingCAS to be a total nightmare to navigate. I carefully filled in my entire application for SSU and it somehow was never "submitted" due to a glitch in the payment option. The problem was fixed with the help of the SSU nursing office, and...
