Hi everyone! Congrats to everyone who got in! I also found out I got in last week! ? I couldn’t be happier and more excited to start this journey with everyone! For those of you waiting, good luck to you too and to anyone who didn’t get in, feel free to reach out anytime and I would be happy to help however I can, especially if you do choose to reapply at a later time!

Has anyone started a facebook group or is there something similar for those who have been admitted? I’d be happy to start one as I would love to connect with you all! Let me know your thoughts!

The link is probably deep in the thread but here is the fb group for this years cohort: https://www.facebook.com/groups/879810226174312/?ref=share

The TDap doesn't need a titer so I was able to just upload proof of immunization.

I'm getting my fire card from https://www.lafirecard.com/register. The basic option is $60.

Hi! Where did you upload proof of immunization? I haven't gotten any emails besides the initial acceptance so I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Hi I emailed with ----------------------- today and she said she has requested for a cohort 18 CastleBranch account to be created, but that will take a couple weeks to complete. So she said we will upload all our immunization records/forms once that is created. Right now I'm just working on getting everything in line and completed that way when the account is created I can upload it all at once. I hope this helps!

Great, thank you for letting me know!

It seems I wanted to get ahead on this that I may have bought last year's castlebranch...

That’s just a disclaimer, mostly referring to hospitals having the right to not accept students for clinicals due to unique circumstances such as a pandemic. Our cohort (#16) was the first to experience this - even with 5 months left of the program at the time. Most of our promised preceptorship connections at different sites fell through, therefore we were told that there was the possibility of a delayed graduation date. Thankfully, the faculty in your program work hard at not letting that happen (and yes our class graduated on time, even in the midst of the surge). So my advice for you now is to not worry about those details and trust that the school has your back. You’re not the only class they’re taking care of as there are the traditional BSN, bridge, and NP students. Focus on the fact that y’all are about to be new nursing students yay! Congratulations to the incoming cohort 18 ?

Hello! Thank you for your advice. I have another question for you, where we’re all of your clinicals located? I have to move to LA And I’m not sure where I should move because I don’t know where my clinical will be. Did you have multiple clinical sites?

At what point in the semester did you start clinicals?

Thank you for your help!

Im curious, for those of you who were accepted, has she given you a deadline to commit to the college? I am on the waitlist and I am trying to figure out when she plans on finalizing the cohort. Thanks!

bksa3 · Mar 30, 2021

I was offered a spot on 3/20 and was given until March 25th to answer (last Thursday). I'm sure people are accepting and declining now so I assume she's going through the waitlist spots after she gets those final answers.

Best of luck!!
