   I don't know if this will bring relief or not, but since people seem yearning for info about the waitlists and how they operate, I can put in my two cents. I only put down that I wanted Oakland, and didn't put a 2nd or 3d choice. When I got my letter...

   I'm sorry- I didn't mean to scare you! Everyone's circumstances are different. She had just gone thru a divorce, had to get a new place and had two kids to raise on her own. But bottom line, she's still really glad she did it. Nurses in this area mak...

   I know two women who have gone thru the program. Both were very happy they did. One of them did say tho that she was working with nurses who went to Cal State, they were doing the same job and getting the same pay, but my friend was drowning in debt,...

    Good- I'm glad that I brought some relief. I am taking it at Merritt College- a community college in Oakland named after the same Merritt as Samuel Merritt University and Lake Merritt. Must have been quite a guy. I like our class- hard, but fun.

    Thank you whoever went down to the office and got the scoop! I have just a tiny bit more info to add: in my current patho class, 8 of us applied for the Oakland May cohort. Of the 8 of us, only 1 got a letter today. She told us that in her letter, th...
