  1. Did you end up hearing back?
  2. Hi! I got a phone call from a recruiter about a week or two after submitting my application. The recruiter did a brief phone interview with me where we mostly talked about my resume and the specifics of the residency program. She then scheduled a pho...
  3. My recruiter sent me a list of apartment complexes in the area so I just worked off of that. I looked at the specific listings on apartments.com to see the price, floor plans, amenities, etc. and narrowed it down based on my needs.
  4. Hi! I am in the same boat. I recently accepted a nurse residency position at UNC for the Burn ICU. I am from CA and will be moving to NC in January so I can settle in before my February start date. I also know no one and have never been in the area. ...

    Hi, you do not need to repeat nutrition. I was in the same boat and they just have you drop the class. The unit requirement for upper div GE courses taken through CSUSM is fulfilled by your philosophy and anthropology courses.

    I have attached a screenshot of a message that current students received regarding Complio compliance. I imagine it applies to incoming students too. The school does not expect you to be compliant before starting your first semester. It only becomes ...

    No, I don’t! Sorry!

    Yeah, as CNAs/PCAs. I chose to apply to an externship since the specialty I am interested in is so specific. Most people wait until their last semester when it is mandatory to do an internship/externship but I wanted the exposure like you do so I sta...

    Yeah, you can work during the program. Some people do it, some don't. It just depends on your comfort level with maintaining a busy schedule. If you start in Fall 2020, your first Summer will be the hardest semester since you will have Med Surg I (2 ...

    Spring semester starts on Tuesday since Monday is a holiday so I would be surprised if the school announces anything any time soon. They tend to do what they promised by a certain date whenever they want. The campus is pretty hectic right now but fin...

    You take them on campus. I think it is usually split between two days. Anthro and Nutrition one day, ethics another day. Many people commute the first semester and some still continue to commute throughout the entirety of the program.

    I moved to the Temecula area (Murrieta specifically) but people are spread out all over the place. Some still live in LA/OC. It's really up to you. Some people like living in the Tri-City area of Oceanside/Carlsbad/Vista because you are closer to the...

    I don't know if there is a limit. It just depends on what units are willing to allow students. You are competing with students from multiple other schools in the area for spots. I know of two students from my cohort other than myself who were selecte...

    Sure! You apply through the agency you are interested in so either UCSD or Scripps. UCSD offers placements in pretty much any of their units in Hillcrest or La Jolla. You won't know what is available when you apply because it depends on whether the n...

    Depends on the semester. The first semester is just prereqs like Ethics, Nutrition, and Anthropology. For semester 2, you have a full day of lecture once a week - 3 classes back to back typically starting at 0800 - and two labs but one turns into a c...
