1. CSUDH FNP program

   Ms. Informed replied to t.victoria18's topic in NP Students

   Indeed, the beginning part of the program is probably the most stressful part. Lots of competition with no guarantee of admission. I'm not sure how your friend wasted 2 years considering that the core classes only takes 1 year. On the plus side, EVER...

2. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2013

   Ms. Informed replied to jla11's topic in NP Students

   Getting an A was definitely possible! I ended up getting a 95%. You have to put in a lot of time and effort, but that's how it is with every class. I probably put in 10-15 hours a week. I did read all the chapters, and I went over the slides on evolv...

3. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2013

   Ms. Informed replied to jla11's topic in NP Students

   I actually did end up getting accepted. I'm finishing up my first semester in December. In total, 16 were accepted, but 2 dropped early on. Are you/have you applied to this program as well?

4. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2013

   Ms. Informed replied to jla11's topic in NP Students

   Yeah, I know. That's why everyone at the orientation left either upset or shocked. I don't know how they can get away with it since it is pretty unfair. The only benefit is that IF you do get accepted, the cost is cheaper (for California residents, t...

5. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2013

   Ms. Informed replied to jla11's topic in NP Students

   Hi. Sorry to reply so late, I kinda forgot about this thread. Anyways, conditionally accepted means you're accepted in the school, and need to take several MSN courses. The first semester is advanced patho and advanced nursing roles. During the first...

6. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2013

   Ms. Informed replied to jla11's topic in NP Students

   Hello! I have been conditionally accepted for Fall 2013 MSN/FNP track as well. I have not heard much about this school =( Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who attended this school, so I've been doing research on my own. I'm glad I found this post o...

7. Cedars-Sinai RN New Grad 2011

   Ms. Informed replied to RN671's topic in California

   Thank you. I'm sure you were extremely qualified as well I haven't seen a list (I wish I had access). I just know of at least 10 people who got hired, most of which were my classmates, the others were out of state. Not to mention that several other p...

8. Cedars-Sinai RN New Grad 2011

   Ms. Informed replied to RN671's topic in California

   Don't worry. I got my rejection email as well. I've come to the conclusion that Cedars isn't worth it. From what I found out, several of my classmates got hired, and they all had lower GPAs than me, were much older, and didn't get their license until...

9. September 2011 CHLA RN Residency Program

   Ms. Informed replied to chillin4me's topic in California

   I just got a call from CHLA. The woman I spoke to said that although they had initially rejected me, they still have my application and would like to interview me for the oncology department. I thought it was kind of random but awesome that they deci...

10. Cedars-Sinai RN New Grad 2011

    Ms. Informed replied to RN671's topic in California

    I work for a home health agency. I would prefer a hospital still, but I'm not even going to complain with what I have right now. I do live in LA, but it's still hard to find jobs at hospitals. I've applied to five, got automatically rejected from 3, ...

11. Cedars-Sinai RN New Grad 2011

    Ms. Informed replied to RN671's topic in California

    Yeah, this is awful. At least some hospitals are straight out honest and tell you when you're waitlisted or rejected. I honestly don't even know if it's worth working here anymore. I've already found a job part-time elsewhere. If Cedars calls, that w...

12. Cedars-Sinai RN New Grad 2011

    Ms. Informed replied to RN671's topic in California

    Yeah, I feel you on that. I graduated in May and I've been looking forward to going on vacation out of the country, but I felt like Cedars was holding me back. At this point, I don't even want to book anything just in case the HR department at Cedars...

    Ms. Informed replied to RN671's topic in California

    Just wondering, when did you get it mailed back?

    Ms. Informed replied to RN671's topic in California

    Count me in! This is becoming very frustrating. I am sick of waiting. Even if this is a good thing, I would greatly appreciate better communication and direction.

15. Cedars-Sinai RN New Grad 2011

    Ms. Informed replied to RN671's topic in California

    When I called last week and asked if there were any positions left, the woman said yes, and that not everyone has been notified yet. Of course, she said that they would start notifying more this week, but it seems like nothing happened, so I don't kn...
