San Diego National University - BSN

[sdwannabe1]

just wanted to update nu students or soon to be / wanting to be students on the latest going-ons with nu in san diego. recently a school affiliated with nu for student nurse extern programs ceased it's offer to allow nu students to take a class that would allow for these paid positions, most with offers to become hired upon graduation. as of now, nu does not have an externship program which severely limits student's opportunities to gain work experience and network. the job market in san diego for new nurses (new grads) is dismal right now and i personally am regretting my decision to forge into this new career with mounting debt and no prospects in sight. be aware and do your own research concerning this school. we pay a lot of money to become "accelerated" rn's only to be left out in the cold without any support from our school. this amongst other issues has just added to the pile of complaints many students have about nu and the way they operate. on the whole, nu students are generally accepted as good students within the hospital systems, but our visibility in the area is now greatly reduced and some of us are now opting for cna positions just to pay the bills. think twice about nu or ask tons of questions about the school's support system for students nearing graduation. i guarantee they won't have an answer for you.

OH wow! good thing I read this. My gosh, it's hard to get into a RN program already and now this.

Where can I go now?? I'm a newly grad LVN and now going to look for a job.

I'm opting to go to Indiana State University then.
