Concurrency (MS/OB) Success

Published

Hi, I hope everyone is fine and well. I am Filipino nurse (batch 2014) and like many others here were required to take certain subjects. It was a let down. I took LVN route while looking for schools. That part was the hardest. Almost every schools out there wanted me to repeat the whole program. Then, I decided to move in another state. I chose Oregon, took NCLEX and got a job offer.

The day I was about to moved, I received an offer email from Cal State University- San Bernardino. I took a risk and out of 200 plus applicants, I was given a spot in the program of 48 people.

I met people in the program who I have learned a lot from. That was the best summer for me. I met people from different countries. We shared the same struggles and helped one another.

Now, I am very happy to share that I finally have my RN license in California. My story is about determination and moving forward to achieve your goals. If I did it, you will surely will.

I am glad that 2015 graduates and onwards are not having this problem anymore. I am not a religious person as well but this journey made me closer to God. Never give up, get that RN!

I was randomly checking for any update about the concurrency issues and i read your post. I have the same situation as you. I need to retake med surg and ob and is currently looking for a school. I lived near san bernardino. I called them this week and they put me on the waiting list, just wondering if you've been on the waiting list before they accomodate you and how long did you wait. You can email me at [email protected]

I applied for Cal State San Bernardino, still on the wait list.. that was late last year.. I hope they will accommodate us. I have the same issue as you guys have. Med Surg and OB.. but i was already able to pass the NCLEX for Florida. But still i would like to have a license here.
