 Re: Preparing for Nursing at Azusa Pacific, CA
Congratulations 2bnurse_it!!! Wow, you are off to a great career. Are you glad to be working at Kaiser Zion? how do you like it so far? Sounds like you passed the boards on your first try. Do you know if your whole class passed on their first try? Do you think the program properly prepares you for the NCLEX? OR did you study on your own as well?
Wow, I am hoping that one day I can be in your shoes. I have yet to even finish my prereqs. Shooting for Spring 2010 and hoping for a Kaiser loan forgiveness loan as well.
By the way, is your salary still comparable to a regular starting RN even through the loan forgiveness?
Are you glad you were placed at a San Diego Kaiser hospital? I was told that Kaiser may place you at any location.
Sorry for all the questions. But again, congrats!!!!!   | | Advertisement Sponsored Links | | | | No. 11 |

Hi Kalo,
how cute, you are Blessed to have your two little ones close in age. My first is only 10 months old and will be 1 3/3. I can't believe it either! I don't think I can have another baby until after nursing school. You are smart to have yours already.
I actually applied to the San Diego EENAP. Goodluck, I hope you get in. I will let you know if I do or not. I am just hoping to find out soon. All I have is a letter stating my application is complete.

Re: Preparing for Nursing at Azusa Pacific, CA
Hi everyone,
I just found out I've been admitted into the San Diego EENAP for next year, January 2010. I'm so relieved. It's such a comfort to know where I'll be next year. I still have to take the biochem/ochem requirement. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I heard in Cuyamaca there is chem 102, which does not require a chem prereq. If I go to Grossmont I will have to take 2 classes, chem 115 and chem 116.
How is everyone else doing?

I got into the San Diego EENAP program, and will be starting this May unless I get into UCLA's MECN program, which I find out about in March....
To those who are/were in this program, what classes do you take the first semester?

Well, i can say that starting off on a med surge floor is really hard. I definitely didn't learn everything in school. I've learned that its a growing process because each hospital is different.
As far as salary, i'm not sure how it compares.I'm getting the standard new grad rate i think.
and with my loan, I was actually committed to the san diego facility. It wasn't until after my 2nd semester, they started offering the next batch of students a choice of which facility they wanted to work in. But with me, I am committed for 1 yr in san diego and then I can transfer. and trust me, i plan to move back near home which is in LA....
good luck to ya and feel free to ask questions.

Thanks again for the info. Sometimes I feel like I just want to get into nursing school already, trying to picture myself actually in nursing school seems so far away.
I'm taking micro and AP II this semester, than in the fall I need to get the ochem/biochem out of the way. Where did you take your ochem/biochem class?
So if you graduated July 2008 when did you start? They say the program is 15 months accelerated. IF I am set to start Spring 2010, is it January 2010 - March 2011 then? Do you think it's possible to have a baby the last two semesters? I have 1 baby now and was just trying to figure out when we can have a sibling for her. Do you have any kids? IF so, how was that juggling nursing school with little ones?
I guess I have so many questions, I'm sorry. You must be glad to be done with school but I bet it's a different experience now being out on the floor.
By the way, did your kaiser loan pay for your entire tuition? Do you have any tips on how to get approved for the kaiser loan? It's a loan forgiveness right?
Thanks so much and sorry for the million questions.

Re: Preparing for Nursing at Azusa Pacific, CA
Hello, I was wondering about the EENAP course. I just found out about it today and am upset that it's Sunday and can't call the scbhool to find out info. But just wondering, can you do the pre-reqs @ Azusa? Or do you have to go to the cc for that?
I guess I am trying to speed things up because I am gonna be 30 this year, already have a 9 yr old, my hubby I have been married to for 2 1/2 yrs wants to have a baby and I wanna wait till I am done w/school. Any suggestions and/or answers to my other questions?'
Thanks, I am new on here and find it so helpful!!  | | No. 19 |

Hi again,
I know how you feel. I will be 30 this year as well! Can't believe it either. My daughter will be 1 next week. Anyhow, the EENAP program is perfect for you then because it is an accelerated 15 month BSN program. It's a great option for us because with our bachelors we aren't limited to just the cc programs. I believe they are still admitting for spring 2010, so give them a call if you are interested.
Theresa
