  1. Is Gurnick Academy A Good School?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I live in the Bay Area and have never even heard of it, so that's probably not a good sign. What kind of degree would you end up

  2. California Nursing Advice

    MyAimIsTrue replied to NorCalPal's topic in General Students

    Wow, you've done lots of research and that's great. I wouldn't recommend taking 20 units next semester; that seems like a surefire way to lower your GPA. You are kind of on the edge of an acceptable...

  3. OB/GYN Outpatient RN in CA

    MyAimIsTrue replied to mrm805's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who is an OB phone triage RN in the East Bay. She works for Sutter. So those jobs do exist! I believe she had minimal experience as an RN when she started, maybe just some kind of...

  4. Accelerated BSN programs in California?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to siesepuede's topic in California Nursing

    I don't think SF State has one

  5. Does a nursing student ask for a clinical where you're in the ICU, surgery, ER or whatever

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Caranetta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, as others have said, you will likely touch on critical care as part of your basic nursing clinical education. At our school, you can request that your preceptorship be in critical care, but they...

  6. need advice for nursing schools

    MyAimIsTrue replied to heyitsraj's topic in General Students

    I think almost everyone accepted to Sac has a 4.0 and high TEAS scores. I don't know about Chico. I do know that when I was considering a different Cal State, I went to an informational meeting and...

  7. Sent home from clinical :(

    MyAimIsTrue replied to marin8campy's topic in General Students

    What kind of nursing program are you in?! At mine, we would never get sent home because of an imperfect care plan. Sheesh. We might have to redo a portion of it, but being sent home is ridiculous,...

  8. Junior scrubs with 26in inseam?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to milbacks96's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I share your proportions (maybe 5-10 lbs heavier) and I buy extra smalls. My Cherokees are a tiny bit too long, but they still work okay. My other scrubs are Koi and Gray's Anatomy and they fit well....

  9. Tips for dealing with 4 kids, a husband and a household during nursing school?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Mkakids's topic in General Students

    Oh boy, good luck. Be prepared for your standards to drop considerably. I have 3 kids and a part-time job and am enrolled in a full-time nursing program. My husband has always done lots of chores,...

  10. do my BSN out east, then work in Bay Area - unrealistic?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Priority53's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with what others have advised: get your BSN where you are, get experience, then apply for jobs here. I am in the Bay Area, in nursing school, and even though the job market appears to be...

  11. As A CNA

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Godshelp the CNA's's topic in General Nursing

    It's appalling that your employer is sending anti-union propaganda to their employees. They are hoping that everyone is an uninformed as you are about unions. Unions benefit employees. Voting no is a...

  12. Mom Wants to go to Nursing School

    MyAimIsTrue replied to NOLAMOM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a mom who just finished the first year of nursing school and time-wise, it's been much harder than I expected. We have to be on campus 3-4 days/week, then clinicals another 2 days. We have very...

  13. Any online pharma course in CA?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to osis's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Santa Barbara City College offers online Pharm, but I have no idea if it meets those specific

  14. Merritt College or Chabot for Fall 2017?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to NurseSellsHomes's topic in California Nursing

    Don't get me wrong, I took most of my prereqs at Merritt and love the school! But I hear other things about the nursing program itself. I met someone a couple of months ago who graduated a few years...

  15. Can I get into a traditional BSN program if I already have a BA?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Robyn122's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, that's what I'm doing now. All of my credits transferred so all I'm taking are nursing courses. Of course I had to take the pre-reqs too (though some were covered in my first

  16. Merritt College or Chabot for Fall 2017?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to NurseSellsHomes's topic in California Nursing

    From what I know of Merritt, I would very concerned about their super high attrition rate. I haven't heard the best things about Chabot either though. Are those the only schools you applied

  17. Attn Please Cali Nurses - I need your advice!

    MyAimIsTrue replied to EmRN4kids's topic in General Nursing

    California is a gigantic state, so if your family is in Redding, but you get a job in San Diego, then there's not really a point to moving to CA to be close to your family. So where are they located?...

  18. New Nursing Student Must Haves and Advice From Current Nursing Students

    MyAimIsTrue replied to CreativeUsername's topic in General Students

    These folding clipboards are pretty handy in clinicals. They come in different colors and lots of students have them. WhiteCoat Clipboard Nursing

    MyAimIsTrue replied to AspiringMurse's topic in School, College Programs

    I mostly avoid FB, so PMing here is probably

  20. University of San Francisco Nursing (USFCA) FALL 2017

    MyAimIsTrue replied to AspiringMurse's topic in School, College Programs

    I was offered a choice between Hayward and Concord and chose Hayward because of where they did their clinicals (although there is some overlap). I did not want to be driving out to Antioch for...

  21. University of San Francisco Nursing (USFCA) FALL 2017

    MyAimIsTrue replied to AspiringMurse's topic in School, College Programs

    Truebluefoo, I can't compare CSUEB and USF directly since I only have experience with CSUEB, but I can try to help. I don't think you would be disappointed with CSUEB at all. My clinical rotations...

  22. Future Pediatric Nurse: UC Berkeley vs Sac State

    MyAimIsTrue replied to habi14's topic in School, College Programs

    Go to Berkeley. I take it you are 18 years old, right? So you might change your mind a lot before deciding on a major and it might not be nursing! If you are still feeling passionate after you get...

  23. Merritt College Oakland Reputation

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Iamgoingtobeanurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure if I'm allowed to comment without firsthand experience, but I met someone recently who had finished the program 2-3 years ago and is currently working as an RN. She said it was horrible....

  24. I did a Google search, and my RN information and a bunch of other things are there?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just did a google search on a professor and found out not only her home address but where her kids go to school. I was definitely not looking for that kind of information! This is in California....

  25. PLEASE HELP, I am lost

    MyAimIsTrue replied to ViMK's topic in School, College Programs

    I think it's harder to get hired as an LPN, not a BSN. I personally would try to attend a Cal State nursing program. They all have solid reputations and the cost is reasonable. I don't know what you...
