   ALXiong replied to KT_C's topic in School Programs

   Congrat! It is such a difficult decision to make! I totally understand your concern about the financial part of the education. SMU is costly and I know because I graduated from there. However, I want to put in my 2 cents. My question is that what you...

   I didn't go with Western because I attended another school with a shorter time commitment for master entry with NP specialty. And it is closer to where I live.

   ALXiong replied to snailszy's topic in California

   I interviewed for this program 3 years ago. The class started in 2012 was the last class that could choose MSN-E with FNP option. Even with that option, the entire program was 4 years in length. It practically took as long as medical school. I am not...

   ALXiong replied to Aurora18's topic in California

   No, it doesn't have to be all white. I recalled a faculty said that 70% white would be fine. It is hard to find shoes that are all white. I had running shoes for clinical and never had those "nursing shoes." Just buy something that is comfortable, at...

   I don't recommend you to get tickets in advance. You may or may not have clinical on weekend. Some of the students will have clinical during weekend for the first semester. You should wait until you figure out when you will be your clinical day befor...

    Sorry. I dont check here often and my past week had been rough with my sickness and final. I could not tell you how fast pace this because we still have classmates that work (not recommended!). It really depends on how you manage your time. You can a...

    It really depends on your financial need, but the financial aid (all loans) will cover tuition, books, and cost of living. Not like a luxury style of living but enough to live comfortably.

    ELMSN-FNP at Sac and Oakland is the exact same program but starts different time and place. Same faculties review applications and conduct interviews. If you have questions, I can try to answer them.
