  1. 2010-11 San Francisco VA new grad program

    I dropped off my application in person on Dec. 10th....and no word back yet, yes or no. I have kind of given up all hope of a "new grad" spot at this point, it is just absurd how many awesome new nurses are out there, and every one of us wanting to b...
  2. New Grad SNF work... I am just exhausted and shocked

    Thanks so much to all of you who replied to this thread. I might (MIGHT!) be getting a SNF job here in the Bay Area...if a phone conversation goes well tomorrow. I feel both scared and encouraged by all your advice. Best wishes to everyone here, and ...
  3. Nclex 75 questions: Passed or failed?

    I just took the NCLEX today, and it shut off at 75....so nice to be able to come on here and read all your kind words. They may have been directed at someone else, but our circumstances are the same and it made me feel better :) Thanks to all of you ...
  4. STOPPED @ 75 questions

    It stopped at 75...I'm in CA, who knows how long it will take before I get the results. You can be sure I will be obsessively checking the website Congrats to all you nurses who passed with 75 on your first try! Hopefully I will join your ranks.......
  5. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    Good morning CameronRex, Yeah, College of Marin is also a lottery system. I applied last year, and believe me it stings when you are at the top of the class and your (academically) mediocre classmates are admitted. What a wierd system. Bah! Soun...
  6. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    wow, CameronRex...first of all, thanks so much for your detailed comments. I am totally shocked that with your volunteer experience and re-working of the goal statement (with insider help) you didn't get an interview. It makes me think that those 9...
  7. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    :icon_rolleyes: THE DREADED THIN ENVELOPE....it is mine. Wah....after crying my eyes out (I'm not done yet), I will take my own advice and focus on what's next...and what options are open to me now that I know what I'm NOT doing. Sigh...it's not easy...
  8. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    You know, there are a few people posting on this forum who got into UCSF on the second try. If you're up for it, you might think about putting some thought into (or asking them directly) what you might do to be more competitive next time. That's my...
  9. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    That is a trip, I totally misinterpreted that bit...I thought everything had to be done before they offer you admission...it was a bit of a time crunch to do all my pre-req's by the end of this semester, but now I'm glad they are OVER! Only two hours...
  10. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    That first letter they sent out, didn't it say something about notifying us if they needed supplemental materials? I wonder if, after a successful interview, they ask you to submit your transcripts for any unverified pre-req's?
  11. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    That is so strange to me...I guess they could potentially base their judgement of readiness for graduate-level work on a person's GRE scores and grades from undergrad in non-science courses. You would assume, though, that they might be concerned if ...
  12. Thoughts on UCSF's MEPN program?

    hi chickpea, check out the thread called something like "Any UCSF MEPN Applicants?" (search on UCSF MEPN)---apparently the letters went out yesterday!! Some people from the Bay Area have heard, although I haven't yet (I'm in Marin County, just over ...
  13. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    Holy crap...8-4pm...no pressure there...hehe. I bet anything you'd feel comfortable wearing to a job interview would be fine. OK, time for me to make some pizza--'night all, and congratulations again!!!
  14. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    I forgot to ask before--does it say anything about the difference between the two interviews, or just that you have to do it? Does the letter say anything else interesting that you'd like to share? (Living vicariously...)
  15. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    :balloons:CONGRATULATIONS!!!!:balloons: That's so great, you guys. This definitely calls for a margarita. Or have you not taken your anatomy final yet, Nat3433? (Still no word for me here in Marin...grrrr....)
