Hello @LunaBuna did you end up finding an acute care job after moving to Palo Alto, CA? I'm also considering going into HH and wondering how tough it would be later down the line to transition to acute care. The bay area is a competitive market.

Hello @Goldentea, can you give us an update? I noticed your post from 2014 and wondering if you are now an inpatient RN. Are you in CA by chance? By asking this question, I'm wondering if it's easier in other states to transition from HH RN ...

Hello fellow RNs, I'm a fairly novice nurse with a total of 9 months of inpatient bedside RN experience. I used to be a wide-eyed and bushy tailed new nurse who was eager to become the best bedside RN I could be. Now I've become disillusioned ...

Thank you, I've contacted the union. I was told I won't know more until a meeting is called what the allegations are. Has anyone been on administrative leave? Can you please share more your experience? Is this standard protocol?

I'm a new grad RN in the Kaiser NorCal New Nurse Residency and have been put on administrative leave. I was told there are med issues but was not told the specifics. The med issues occurred while I was in preceptorship. I am not sure what is going...

I've heard of many nurses transitioning from inpatient acute care to outpatient surgeries. Are there any nurses who've done the reverse? And in the bay area? I'm a new grad who recently recently received an offer for an Outpatient PreOp/PACU r...

@SmilingBluEyes I think I'm too new to answer that. We new grads tend to have ideas of what nursing will be only to realize the reality is very different. Also that school was useless. We either change course, or stay in our jobs to support famili...

Hello! For everyone who posted on this thread, how has it been turning out? Nursing school is one thing. Working as a nurse is a whole different reality and I think a lot tougher than nursing school. What has everyone ended up doing for work and h...

Thank you for posting @WildflowerFairy. I recently went through a similar experience. I was expected to function as an experienced nurse and take on high-acuity patients as a New Grad Float RN. I eventually quit as I was concerned about pati...

Hello! For those who started in the 2020 residency program at St. Joseph (Orange, CA), how is the program? Also from reading this forum, it seems the process is 1) On-Demand Interview, 2) 30 min video behavioral interview, and 3) a 2nd interview? I...

Hi @The Lorax, laid back sounds nice. Round 1 was indeed intense. Is Round 2 alone or was it with another panel of candidates as well?

Hi @The Lorax, congratulations! That's really exciting news!! Do you mind sharing your background? Do you have ICU experience?

Has any one else that's interviewed for ICU heard back as well over the weekend? I don't remember when they said they would do call-backs by.

It's hitting close to evening 1/15. Has anyone heard back yet for Round 2?

I was told by Financial Aid that we won't know how much we will be disbursed in loans until we've registered for classes. I see I've accepted the admissions offer on the "Student Center" page on mysfsu.com. However, don't see that I'm registered for ...

@ERtech-Nurse: unfortunately the max amount you can borrow is $12,500 per year. Also, there is a $57,500 max amount you can borrow for your bachelor degrees in your lifetime. As in if you already took a loan out for Bachelors Degree #1, you'll need t...

More out of curiosity, did any one happen to get their hands on the stats? How many applicants did they have total? We know more than 100 was interviewed.

@MAC3 I feel you on wanting to get started on planning life (e.g. moving and in my case, quitting my job and planning vacation time before the intensity begins). There's only about 1-month until start date! I was told we will know by EOW the orienta...

@thatnewnew: due dates? How do we find out the due date? I was on the waitlist and haven't received any information from SFSU yet.

@sophie123456: Yep, sent mine out yesterday. I was told by the nursing department to send official transcripts to SF Grad Studies. See link below: https://grad.sfsu.edu/content/official-transcript-requirement

@thatnewnew & @sophie123456 any word on orientation? I logged into MySFSU online and don't see any communication there either. @reb24 I'm sorry to hear - I've been rejected for UWs ABSN. ABSNs are highly competitive. Keep trying - don't give up! ...

@goldenstate93: Congrats!! Ditto. I was wait-listed as #4 and am now in. To the others on WL, don't lose hope yet. Now to find out orientation date that doesn't hopefully coincide with an upcoming planned trip, calculate schools expenses, and apply f...

Thanks @indy_kayy for the update. I too was quoted that price. @pzsnow and @nursejourn3y: Yes, let's keep one another posted. I'm heartbroken too. I wonder what % of those accepted will decline is - we'll have to see. @basenji95: congrats! Good sta...

Does any one have any idea yet how much the BSN-A program costs?

@abx2378: crossing fingers!!
