EL-MSN at Charles Drew University, Los Angeles

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about the new entry level MSN program at Charles Drew University of Medicine & Science in Los Angeles. I've done searches on all nurses but haven't come up with anything. I know the requirements for admission and such, but I'm more curious about the quality of the program/university. I'm considering applying for fall 2011, so any infomation, good or bad, would be helpful.

Thanks! :redbeathe

Hey everyone,

I know the ELMSN is designed for clinical nurse leader... But what exactly is the difference between that and a Nurse Practitioner or Clinical Nurse Specialist?

Hey I just wanted to know if anyone else here applied to C Drew or is going for the Fall 2011 cohort? It's a reallyyy convenient school for me to attend.. esp for nursing but Im just skeptical and down hearted by all the drama and bad reputation =( anyone else torn??? They seem like a decent school overall but there's just so much that went on I don't know if it's worth it for me to attend a school that make some people say "id stay away from a nurse that graduates at CD".....

Hey Laylee,

I'm applying by June too. I need to get myself organized. When are you taking the GREs? or have you taken it already?? I need to get my letters of rec too! eek!

I would have to ask, what kind of "drama and bad reputation" are you referring to?

As a student of the program, I must say that you are totally off about the perception that you have heard about the school. I am extremely pleased of the decision I made to enroll in the program. The faculty and instructors are very warm and welcoming. Also, the instructors go above and beyond to help their students in understanding and utilizing the rigorous material that is being taught. Not to mention the classes and lab materials are brand pretty much the state of the art.

At what hospitals do you do clinical rotations?

Also, there has been no nurses that have graduated from the program because the first cohort has just started fall 2010. The first graduating class is not until Spring of 2012. So, I am the least bit offended that people are saying "id stay away from a nurse that graduates at CD". Maybe a different program at Charles Drew has had issues, but the nursing program is one that I can confidently say does not. If you already have this negative preconceived notion on the institution, maybe it is in your best interest to not even waste your time applying and find another school that doesn't have "drama".

Hello, i was just wondering what your schedule is like. What days do you go to school, what times do you go those days, and when/where are your clinicals. Im applying for this program to start in Fall 2011 and would love to know more information. Also, how is the program overall??

That is a great question. I would like that answered as well because I want to plan a work schedule around my class schedule, if I were to be accepted.

I have an interview scheduled July 11, 2011, so hopefully I will get in!

got my acceptance letter =)

Congrats, i got my acceptance letter as well. @Layleebug When was your interview? and do you know when we start?
