1. Critical care classes during ED orientation - is this really a thing?

   aykaykayk replied to raindrop's topic in Emergency

   Same here. Started in March, and all the required classes for ED (e.g., ACLS, conscious sedation, PALS, etc.) are canceled d/t Covid. Honestly, I've been learning by trying to jump in on all cool/new cases I haven't seen before, by picking my precept...

2. Getting a California RN License with a Criminal History: Misdemeanor

   aykaykayk replied to cheethaj's topic in Criminal

   I got my CA RN license by endorsement today. I thought it would be a very lengthy and pain-in-the-behind process based on some of the posts I read online, but it was actually not bad at all. I thought I'd contribute my experience to the community j...

   Got an interview invite this past week. Submitted my app back in November and actually never received an app confirmation email after waiting over 3mos. Had to ping KH to check on the status of my app. Apparently the school never received one of m...

   I think that totally makes sense given their super limited amount of resources. TEAS gives them an easy, quantitative way of screening through the applications.

   @bruin2012 I've been mentally checked out from apps for the holiday season since mailing this thing in. Apparently some troubles with how I sent them my transcripts. Hopefully it'll get resolved soon. Cheers and good luck to all!

9. UPenn 2018 ABSN / Second Degree

   aykaykayk replied to Prongs210's topic in School Programs

   Had my phone interview this week, and the questions were pretty generic and pretty much what @Snowwflake20 mentioned above. A pretty chill conversation overall. For the timeline, the interviewer said that the admission committee will review at the ...

    @_emilyann I found out from an email (jan 4th), but it looks like the admission status on canelink was updated 2 days prior to the email notification. Anyone know when the financial aid package is going to be released?

    aykaykayk replied to nursingstudent123456's topic in School Programs

    "The estimated cost of attendance for 2017-2018 for a full time ABSN student enrolled for fall, spring and summer semesters is $91,609." Actually estimating more like at least $120k. Initially calculated it wrong since I took $91.6 * 1.25 since I'm s...

15. Emory ABSN Fall 2018

    aykaykayk replied to nursingstudent123456's topic in School Programs

    No price difference for in- vs. out-of-state since it's a private school. From what I read in the previous year's thread, the financial aid package is relatively small compared to the program's cost of attendance (I think we're looking at around $11...
