    CSUSM ABSN Fall 2019

    BiscuitStripes replied to futurernmelne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I looked at the Entry Level Masters programs years ago, the big issue was hospitals want you to have a BSN to meet their requirements for Magnet status; however, with an ELM program, you only get...

    CPR Instructor

    BiscuitStripes replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Sure thing. Search your area for CPR Instructor Certification courses, as this is where you'd need to go to get the instructor training and then you usually align with them as your training center....

    CSUSM ABSN Fall 2019

    BiscuitStripes replied to futurernmelne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a worry of mine too, but I'm open to going anywhere within a 2 hour drive or certain out of state locations (moving to Washington is actually one of my top choices right now), so it opens up...

    CSUSM ABSN Fall 2019

    BiscuitStripes replied to futurernmelne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The sooner you apply, the faster you'll get your evaluation. Since those of you who have already applied are well before the priority deadline, you should get them back quicker. As time goes on and...

    CPR Instructor

    BiscuitStripes replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    It's an interesting process how it works. I'm assuming you're talking about AHA BLS Instructor. First, you'll have to find somewhere to take the Instructor certification course. It's usually one 8...

    TEAS exam failure

    BiscuitStripes replied to NYCNative21's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    What have your scores been in each of the four areas (science, math, English, and reading)? Did you score similarly in these sections both times you took it? This might help us narrow down a...

    Is there something wrong with me? Too much studying?

    BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Students

    Thank you! I do outings with my dog, go for walks, and play ice hockey from time to time...maybe not as much as before I was in school, but I do try to do some physical activity. Thank you for your...

    Is there something wrong with me? Too much studying?

    Is there something wrong with me? Too much studying?

    BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Students

    I'm in clinical two days a week and lecture one day a week, so I don't study much, if at all, on those days. The one day I work I study maybe 6 hours. That leaves me with 3 days that I study about...

    Clinical in Nursing Home--experiences?

    BiscuitStripes replied to galactose's topic in General Students

    I did my fundamentals rotation in a SNF as well, this is fairly common with nursing programs. I've been an EMT for years and I currently am an ER and Trauma Tech in a busy Level 2 Trauma Center, so...

    Do employers look at new grad grades?

    BiscuitStripes posted a topic in General Students

    I tried searching for this topic and the most recent one I found was 10 years ago, so I'm looking for some updated information. Just how important are you grades in nursing school? Our instructors...

    Help applying to WGU Prelicensure BSN California

    BiscuitStripes replied to flaminghotcheetos's topic in Western Governors University

    I was accepted a year or so ago, but my cohort was cancelled, so I went elsewhere. They recently lost a lot of their clinical partners. My understanding is they only have clinical placements at...

    question about subpoena

    BiscuitStripes replied to carmelojames123's topic in General Nursing

    As others have said, it could be a process server, and that's why he said he's just the messenger. Process servers do not work for the law firm or the court, but can legally serve you with a...

    Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    BiscuitStripes replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    No, there's no nursing shortage, especially for newly graduated, inexperienced nurses. In Southern California, some newly graduated nurses spend over a year trying to get their first job, with many...

    Cal State San Marcos ABSN Spring 2019

    BiscuitStripes replied to inkabruce's topic in School, College Programs

    Honestly, you'll probably get your schedule a week or two prior to class starting. That's been pretty normal for most cohorts. Expect to probably be on campus two days per week for your first...
