1. Where to move in SoCal?

   CPMSD replied to NickiTeleRN's topic in California Nursing

   Not sure of the logistics of a regular move vs moving for travel nursing, but I do know most of the hospital systems here utilize travel nurses and it is a good way to get your foot in the door and...

2. Where to move in SoCal?

   CPMSD replied to NickiTeleRN's topic in California Nursing

   Plenty of options for work in the San Diego area. Regarding cost of living, San Diego is going to be comparable to most Southern California coast cities. But the nurse pay is good, and should allow...

3. San Diego job market

   CPMSD replied to Poo2334's topic in California Nursing

   Curious what you saw online that leads you to believe there is "no chance" of getting a job without a BSN in San Diego? Did you go to school in San

4. Career Changing

   CPMSD replied to TwinDaddy's topic in Men in Nursing

   Do you have all your pre-reqs knocked out and ready to apply? If not, getting those done will get you back in the school groove. How about renewing your CNA license and picking up a per-diem or part...

5. Career Changing

   CPMSD replied to TwinDaddy's topic in Men in Nursing

   Will it really be that significant of a salary drop for an RN position in your area? You say you are making $50k annually working 60+hrs per week. I would hope a nurse's salary in TX would be able to...

6. Future RN needs help!

   CPMSD replied to karliwalker92's topic in General Students

   Your GPA is great, but as you know that is only one part of your application. Have an honest look at your app and see what you're missing. Have you reached out to your top choice programs to ask how...

7. Does it matter where you get your BSN from?

   CPMSD replied to CPMSD's topic in Government, Military

   Care to expand?

8. Does it matter where you get your BSN from?

   CPMSD replied to CPMSD's topic in Government, Military

   Thanks all for the replies. I suppose I should have left the WGU/3.0 out of the discussion. It makes sense that a 3.0 GPA would either disqualify or put one at a severe disadvantage. Basically I'm...

9. Does it matter where you get your BSN from?

   CPMSD posted a topic in Government, Military

   Hello all. I was wondering if the school you get your BSN from matters in regards to selection for service in any branch's nurse corps? I know it has to be ACEN or CCNE accredited. But are things...

10. Enlisted reserves to direct commission, or wait until I graduate

    CPMSD replied to Futuremilitarynurse88's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ask your recruiter if he can guarantee in your contract that you will get OCS and a critical care RN spot. He won't because it's BS and he has no clue if you'll be able to do that. Like jj said, the...

12. Low priority registration for pre-reqs in San Diego Community College District

    CPMSD replied to pollyiz's topic in California Nursing

    Shibaowner gave great advice. I went thru the same thing so I know it can be disheartening to check online and see the classes you need are full and you still have 2 weeks until you can even register!...

13. Article 15 and BSN future?

    CPMSD replied to Michael murray's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't think you will have to worry about this. As Chare said, it is highly unlikely that an NJP will pop on your record, especially if it not associated with any civilian legal offense (DUI,...

14. How do I balance military service, school, and working full time

    CPMSD replied to Pnutlife's topic in General Students

    You say the only reason you want to stay in is the SLRP. Are you currently receiving it, or are you just thinking you'll try and get it when you re-up? I ask because, as you may or may not be aware,...

15. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    Hmm, that is odd. When I search it pops up with the others, but I had to hit "see all" on my phone to show it. The privacy setting should allow you to find it. PM me your info if you can't find it and...
