  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. 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...

  7. 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...

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

    CPMSD replied to CPMSD's topic in Government, Military

    Care to expand?

  9. 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...

  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...

  11. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    The success course was 8 weeks, 1 day a week. City doesn't have night or weekend classes. Normal schedule varies but typically lecture is Mon/Thurs and and clinicals/lab on

  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...

  16. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    Hello All. We have setup a Facebook Group: SDCC Nursing Class of 2019. You should be able to find it by searching for the name. Please join and feel free to invite any of our classmates you know....

  17. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    When I applied the deadline was December 1st. The November thing might a typo but you may want to double check by shooting them a quick

  18. General Chemistry or "Fundamentals/Essentials" of Gen Chem?

    CPMSD replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    Find the nursing programs you plan on applying to and check their websites for prerequisite course requirements. Most will clearly state what classes they accept, and will have an equivalency list...

  19. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah probably best to find out what is actually required before running out and dropping $$. Thanks. I'm curious about the success course in general, as I think City is the only ADN program that has...

  20. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    Congrats to everyone who just got accepted. I'm in the 2nd session but haven't been able to find the required textbook list. Anyone mind

  21. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    I just got my add code for the 2nd session this

  22. ABSN Programs With High Acceptance Rates

    CPMSD replied to murseymee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's odd that you say you are willing to move anywhere in the country for school, yet balk at an ABSN program with a $40k tuition. Relocating to a new city is a significant expense that you should...

  23. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    I assume they are still trying to sort through acceptances and send out another round of offers, as Crostar said. My offer email had an acceptance deadline date of 01/23/17, however the actual letter...

  24. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    Ok thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one haha. Their dates didn't match up from the email to the letter

  25. San Diego City College ADN Fall 2017

    CPMSD replied to Crostar's topic in California Nursing

    Anyone get the add code for the Nursing Success course
