Does anyone know if National provides preceptors?

As others have said, it is just a very competitive market. I was a volunteer for 18 months in the ED at Thornton and the 3GH ICU at Jacobs, rotated through the ICU three times during nursing school (so, over 300 hours in the ICU), including 90 hours ...

Boo! I am sorry, Drew. I hope something happens for you soon! I never heard from UCSD at all. I hope that I was screened out automatically since I haven't graduated yet. It seems that they only took people who have already passed NCLEX. Hopefull...

Congrats!! That is so awesome!! I stalked you a bit and wanted to ask some questions, if you don't mind. I saw that you had an offer from UCSD earlier in the year. Did you end up taking that offer or did you go with another hospital? Have you been wo...

Andrew, that is fabulous news re JHU. Fingers crossed for you!!

Congratulations to those hearing back!! Celebrating with you! I still haven't heard anything back from either of the ICU positions. Anyone heard anything from 3GH ICU?

I applied for both ICU positions, but it still says "application received."

I just submitted my application for the August cohort. I will be coming from San Diego, so will do my clinicals [presumably] in Orange County. If you're applying for August in So Cal, feel free to pop in and commiserate. :)

I just wanted to let others know that they have opened up 8 clinical spots in Orange County for a Feb 1st start date. I received a phone call this morning that I was admitted to the program! Good luck to others waiting to hear. I know how stressful t...

In So Cal, there are no other cohorts planned until May 2019. The last cohort, in October 2018, was filled exclusively with Cedars Sinai employees. The April 2018 cohort was cancelled, so the August 2018 cohort was filled with mostly previously admit...

I agree that they are at the mercy of their clinical partners. I guess that I am just frustrated because I was led to believe since February that I was going to get into this program (so much so that I turned down another program and already have all...

I spoke with WGU this morning, and the admissions advisor confirmed that every person accepted into the cohort was a Cedars employee. I never had a chance, which would have been nice to know before I spent the money to retake the TEAS. The next cohor...

I am almost 44, and homeschool two children. This was the only program that was going to work for me. I already turned down another program for Fall 2018. It's just not meant to be.

The next cohort isn't until May. Thanks for your encouragement, but I think I am done trying.

Just got the email that I did not get into October.

I haven't heard anything yet, but I'm not optimistic. They have enough Cedars employees to fill the entire cohort, so it really depends on how much preference they give to their employees. My enrollment counselor said that I was ranked second out of ...

Who else is waiting to hear about the October cohort? BellaRose, did you retake your TEAS? Is it August yet? The wait is killing me!

Cedars and Huntington Memorial are the only places with scheduled cohorts. They used to have cohorts in OC, but their clinical partner asked them to put that on hold for now. So, August at Huntington, October at Cedars, and then no other cohort is sc...

I wouldn't even bother applying to CA without at least a 90+ on your TEAS. High 80s used to be good enough, but not anymore. There just aren't enough cohorts in CA and the spaces fill immediately with people in the 90s. I was rejected with an 89. Ret...

Retook my TEAS today and got a 94.7 but, with the bias toward Cedars employees, I am not sure that it will be enough.

The hits just keep on coming. My admissions counselor let me know that Cedars Sinai has changed its policy. They now are asking WGU to give preference to Cedars employees for nursing cohorts with clinical locations in Cedars hospitals.There are 17 Ce...

It would be difficult to get hired with an ADN at most magnet hospitals. I'm retaking my TEAS and reapplying for October. If I don't get in, I will have to reevaluate. I'm still pretty down about not getting into August. I would have retaken my TEAS...

Talked to my counselor yesterday, and I did not get in. They only had one cohort of 10 open for August, and they had to honor the previously admitted people from the cancelled April cohort. So, there were only a couple of spaces in August open for 35...

My counselor said that they are still filling the cohort, but there are only a few sports left. So, I am not optimistic. She said that we should know in the next few days.

Congrats! Still nothing for me yet. Fingers crossed.
