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

U.S.A. California

Published

This is a new thread for anyone that has applied to the Mount St. Mary's College Accelerated BSN program in Los Angeles for 2010 entry.

This is my second application for admission since I wasn't offered admission for Fall 2009. Did anyone hear anything back yet for Spring 2010? Is there an interview process? I have read conflicting information on this topic. I also applied to Samuel Merritt in the Bay Area (also turned down twice to 2 programs for Fall 2009 entry). They wont be sending out admission offers until February for March start dates!! Would love to hear from fellow nursing school hopefuls :o)

Good luck to all you!!

thanks rocky. my plan was to start dressing super conservatively, and then gradually transform to my normal state (which really isnt that crazy). i used to have a faux hawk that went all the way behind my head, but ill stop that. time to grow up and be mature *sniff sniff*

so on tuesdays, you basically have to wear prom gear? slacks and button ups?

omg no!! that would be too much...lol. just dont wear jeans and a plain ol' t-shirt and you'll be fine. i've gone to class in leggings, uggs, and a blouse and the instructor has been cool with it. basically, they want you to dress nice cuz you're gonna go to ucla right after skills lab to pick your patient for wednesday's clinicals...and obviously, you want to look presentable when you go to the hospital. :)

I did not think at all that I made a brazen statement about the staff and professors there. Some were very very good but some weren't as good about understanding/supporting students.

I was being very honest when i wrote that sentence. It is also a brazen statement if you didn't go through what I did and tell me that I made a brazen statement.

@juninulmul, in response to "i did not think at all that i made a brazen statement about the staff and professors there. some were very very good but some weren't as good about understanding/supporting students."

saying "some were very very good and some weren't as good is completely different than your first post which included statements like: "why do i have to pay so much more if i don't get as much help and care from the professors than other schools that are way cheaper?" and "some of the staff were not very supportive of students." and "paying more money doesn't necessarily equate to better education and care for students from school so watch out!"

telling prospective students to "watch out" is a bit over the top. msm's is not out to get any of us. as i said in my earlier post, i am sorry you had such a bad experience at msm's but writing negative comments about our school is careless considering this thread is all about the people who were recently accepted into the program and are looking forward to starting this new and exciting path.

in response to "it is also a brazen statement if you didn't go through what i did and tell me that i made a brazen statement. like i said earlier, "i can't speak about your experience but i can speak from mine."

I was thinking of wearing a tuxedo, like the scene in step brothers where Will Ferrell and John C Reilly go interviewing for jobs

@ Pauli, I think you should go more along the lines of the orange or blue tux that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels wore on Dumb and Dumber :lol2:

Hey there. I've never gone to a private school, so im not used to dealing with an enforced dress code. I was wondering how particular the staff were about haircuts/hairstyles/haircolor.

I have a faux-hawk, but i dont know if thats' considered "offensive" or "unprofessional" to MSMC staff. could you shed any light on this?

also, my sister currently attends cal state la's bsn program and her boytoy currently attends PCC's RN program, and both programs are STRICT about hair color.

good thing that my hair is boring brown and im not planning on changing it.

Paulie I choked on my pizza with the "boytoy" comment! So you sister is totally going to help us right??? Also, I think you should shave it off....no upkeep! JUST KIDDING!

@ princessandraya. in response to "so does that also rule out scrubs on Tuesdays?"

You only wear your uniform for clinicals. No one wears them to school. And you probably wouldn't want to b/c those uniforms are not as comfy as regular scrubs.

Sorry, I was referring to regular scrubs...we saw people on campus in reg scrubs and I was planning on wearing them to be extra comfy.

@ BNice

You're right. An orange tux would be classic.

@ PrincessAndraya

My sister is excited to help us out! She can't wait for me to start!

I don't know how I missed this whole thread about boytoys, tuxs and faux hawks, but I"m so happy I checked in. Here I was thinking all the fun was our new looks on FB. I like the idea of wearing prom clothes to skills lab. Especially if jeans are out, which cancels out the skinny jeans on Tuesdays. With my crazy hair if I wore a bun it would be as big as my head.

We should make Tuesdays our formal days. We could get corsages and boutonnieres (yeah, I had to spell check "boutonniere").

Hahaha we should all take a limo to school and bring dates!
