    I am a primary care RN, but I pick up shifts as a float. In our hospital, we are not allowed to do the admission assessment for the primary care nurse because "passing along prudent information" is...
  2. Exit interview survey, tell the truth, lie or ignore

    Mine was an email... "Did you have any concerns about your period of employment... blah blah blah". Not anonymous, not a survey. I was honest but tactful. I also used the oreo technique. "I had such...
  3. Transfering RN Jobs

    I went from MS to step down but did not receive a pay increase. I'm about to transfer to Critical Care, again with no increase. My hospital pays based on years of experience, certifications, etc, not...
  4. Yuba College ADN

    Hi! I wanted to see if anyone is currently going to, or has recently applied to the Yuba College nursing program. I just submitted my application and am waiting to hear back
  5. I have an issue with this post. Our ATI package was probably $1000 broken up into 4 semester payments, plus about $500-1000 TOTAL worth of other books (Med Surg, Maternal Child, Psych, drug guides,...
  6. New grad advice

    Good luck finding something in California! There are a ton of schools here pumping out new grads, and everyone in the country wants to move here for the pay and patient ratios. Not to say that it...

    I just graduated from Yuba college in December. It's a great
  8. UWorld to study for the NCLEX?

    I used Uworld, an ATI live review that was provided by our school, and bought a 3-week subscription for NCSBN. Imo, Uworld was the best. I did about half of the questions and passed NCLEX in 75...

    I'm sorry it took me so long to reply- I thought I did, but in replying to someone else, I saw that it didn't post So as far as clinicals go- for first semester, the two locations are Woodland...
  10. Yuba College ADN

    Congratulations Mama! I hope it works out for you! I know that a few of the alternates in my class ended up getting in because the person that got the spot went to a different school- so my fingers...

    Hey Edmed323, congrats on getting in and great job on the TEAS! I know a lot of students that worked part or full-time during all 4 semesters and were ok, and some that failed out. It really has to...

    I had all A's on my prereqs (with the exception of a C in anatomy ), but I got a 96 on my Teas. I also have both work and volunteer experience that gave me points, and I speak a second language. I...
  15. Yuba College ADN

    Hi! Yes, I am currently in my 3rd semester at Yuba College. I got in immediately after I applied. Since it's merit-based, if you have good grades and did well on your TEAS, you will most likely get...
  16. My comments would be that it depends. It depends on how well you manage your time, what grades are "acceptable" to you, and if you plan on having a social life (or work) outside of school. I Took...
  17. How did you study for the Teas V?

    Hi, I got the ATI study manual and the McGraw Hill "Nursing Entrance Exam" study guides. I worked through each section and did about two hours a day for a month. Math was my weak part because it has...
  18. Teas v

    Hi! Which parts were difficult for you? I found that the ATI book was very helpful. As a PP states, there are great math and science study channels on YouTube as well. Good
