   prior to receiving kathy's email, i was under the impression that a faculty member in the school of nursing will teach the class. but i guess not. i've been calling other facilities for the CNA cert class (torrance is a long commute for me) but the...

   hi guys, i have some info on the epi class at UCLA... http://www.ph.ucla.edu/EPI/10006s/10006s.html the online option (2) requires only a 3hr in-class final (100% of grade) on aug 3rd. i think the easiest thing to do is email [email protected]....

9. UCLA Masters Entry Clinical Nurse (MECN) Program

   kim00mik replied to flyingfish2u's topic in California

   Yes. It's as weirdowack says -- it's just another MSN. The only difference from the existing MSNs is that this is NOT an advance degree, whereas the traditional MSN degrees have specialties of CNS or NP. Supposedly, this type of program is great ...

    kim00mik replied to button2cute's topic in CNS

    pattchez, thx for your reply. you make a lot of sense! i agree that CNS or NP programs is probably the best return on investment, but for someone who is doing a career change, it seems that CNL track can help that transition. I already have a BA a...

    well, i've put down my deposit since this is the only school i applied, even though i am still deciding. i wonder how many ppl just do their 1st year pre-licensure and get their RN but do not continue w/ their master's portion. I am a little worrie...

    pattchez or anyone one else, i've been looking a lot into the CNS vs NP issue. but also came across a more recent CNS vs CNL (clinical nurse leader) issue. seems like CNL is so new that there is no certification for it yet. does anyone have any i...

    kim00mik replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate

    Thanks, Louise... I am leaning toward going there but then again I am going back and forth a lot lately. Plus I am not sure what my chances are for UCSF so waiting another year just to be rejected in order to say that I tried does not sound appealin...
