1. Mount St. Mary's College LA - Accelerated BSN 2010

   cinsocal replied to BNice74's topic in California

   I'm going to say this is only partly true as it depends on the individual. I just graduated with the May class and outside of the 1st semester and 2nd session of the third semester, I had time to spend with friends and family. It's about time managem...

   cinsocal replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just started with the May cohort. I took the Taylor online bioethics class and completed it in less than a month so it's definitely doable even if you're slacking a bit. There are 5 papers, 4 are 6-8 pages and the last one is 25-30 pages. It may se...

   Can't really say much about the loan forgiveness scholarships. Admin/financial aid won't talk about them with us yet. They become available to apply for during your 1st semester (for us, during the summer). The scholarships cover the last two semeste...

   It feels like such a long time ago now. I had my interview with Mary the director. She's very friendly and puts you at ease. Other admin people will be interviewing as well though. The interview is sort of informal like a conversational getting to kn...

   I was accepted into the Summer 09 class. Just to give you an idea of the timeline I had: App in Oct 31 (due 11/1) interview email received 12/5 acceptance letter 1/16 huge packet of forms sent in early Feb. So there was about a month between deadline...

   Chris, again thanks for the info. I want to work in the ICU as well so this is very good news (If I get the scholarship from Torrance that is). Would you let us know how your experience there goes?

   cinsocal replied to chris7's topic in California

   Chris, thanks for all the info you've provided. Your posts were very helpful in the app process. I too will be a new Mount student this May. I had my eye on the Torrance scholarship since I already live in the area and the hospital seems to have a g...

   Sounds good, I'll join your groups and get rid of the site

   Here's a google site I threw together for the class. It has some nice functionality although there doesn't appear to be a way to add a discussion board for forum style posting, just blog style with comments. That seems to be the one thing google grou...

    Labelledame, do you have any people available to you to read over your work? Having someone that will go over and help edit your papers might reduce your stress over writing. Maybe someone from the board could help. I kinda agree about using google ...

    You shouldn't feel bad about your writing skills. Many native speakers, including me, also hate writing papers. Like you, I love science classes but really dislike writing assignments. I can get by, but it feels like such a chore to get through them....

    I've been considering taking the class at Taylor as well. That 25 page paper scares me a little though. It is at your own pace so that is a plus in addition to not having to take it during school. Someone mentioned in another thread that the teacher ...

    Hi :wink2: I actually surprised my parents by wearing my t-shirt under a button down shirt and opened it up at dinner. It was amusing to see the looks on their faces go from what the hell are you doing to smiling. I'm a little worried about the cost ...

    Oh, and just out of curiosity. In regards to the line, "...instructions for completing the FAFSA online that are enclosed with this package." Does this mean anything beyond simply filling out the FAFSA form online as there were no other forms beyond ...
