The position was posted at midnight on the Scripps Taleo career section but they linked somewhere else on the new grad info page. So I was up refreshing at midnight on the page they had linked, only to realize around 1 AM that they had posted it somewhere else. Did anyone get the automated on-demand email? Their website says if you didn't get it immediately upon submission you probably didn't make the cut...

@Katrn, I have an interview with OSUWMC and was looking for some advice for anyone who has recently gotten hired! Do you mind if I DM you?

Reposting from another thread on here... I'm going to be graduating this May, and applying to a lot of new grad programs both in-state and out-of-state. I know it shouldn't be my primary concern but I'm a little apprehensive at the thought of potentially moving away from all my friends and family. Are new grad residency programs pretty conducive to making friends and meeting people? Do cohorts generally get pretty close, like they do in nursing school, or are people more focused on work and less open to hanging out?

Long Beach Memorial funds the trimester program. CSULB (I believe) funds the semester program. Either way you still pay tuition.

I haven't heard back from the school. I figure if we're all in the same boat it's probably okay. @Messiejartin yeah I would try to call her. Good luck!

Did you actually receive a waitlist email from the nursing school or did you just wait/call in to hear that you were waitlisted? I think what happened was people who got an email saying they were waitlisted are ACTUALLY waitlisted, while everyone else who just never heard back (or called in and were told they were waitlisted) was actually accepted, but just waiting to be let in based on available funding.

I'm in!!! Check your emails guys! Crossing my fingers for the rest of you :)

Yeah her response was a little annoyed so I wouldn't. She said we will probably know by the end of the month. Still they can't blame us for wanting to know when the date has come and gone and others have gotten emails.

Finally called in to the SON after waiting a week since everyone else heard back. She told me I'm waitlisted. Really annoying that I had to call them to find this out after waiting anxiously for a week. They seem extremely disorganized.

I'm post bacc as well. Probably this has something to do with it

Is there anyone else here who still hasn't heard back? Checking my email like every 3 minutes. I really thought I'd hear back yesterday since others heard back Thursday/Friday....

If it's true that the top 30 were admitted then I'm not feeling very confident with my 9.51 since people with 9.4-9.6 got waitlisted. The cutoff seems INSANELY high this year, unless they are just scoring the comm exercise differently or something. I really wish they weren't sending out emails in batches like this. I was looking at past years and everyone got the email around the same time.

Edited because oops double post

I thought it wasn't bad at all! Good luck to the people who are still have their exercises.

I had a 9.57!

They roll out over time so you're definitely not out of the running yet

I got one too! Such a relief after this long wait

I've found CSULB admin in general to be disorganized, to be honest.

That's super reassuring. Another quick question if you don't mind - do you think it's possible to work part time (12-18 hours a week) and still succeed in the program? Do many of your classmates work and manage to balance both pretty well?

To the best of your knowledge, is it true that pretty much everyone who gets invited to the communication exercise (as part of the top 80) gets accepted, barring a terrible performance? thanks for coming on!

From what I've heard the communication exercise involves watching a process in a video and then pairing up with each other and describing the video step by step. So they look to see how well you can communicate/give instructions. and from what I've gathered from past threads, since it's pass or fail, you pretty much have to mess up horribly to not get into the program.

To build off what the person above me said, you calculate your points by adding up all of the grade points and dividing by the number of credits/units. I.e. if you got a B in a 3 credit class and an A in a 5 credit class it would be (3*3+5*4)/3+5 = 29/8 = 3.63 So yeah, since classes are worth anywhere from 2-5 units they are weighed differently which results in the random decimals. I was confused about this for the longest time!

Hey guys! I'm applying for the Fall semester as well. Currently finishing my last pre-req (physiology) and planning on taking the TEAS again in January to raise my score more. Could someone please help me out with calculating my score? Of the 4 pre-reqs I got 3 A's and 1 B (89.7 ugh). I'm thinking this puts my science pre-req at 3.75 (1+1+1+0.75) but can someone confirm? :)
