No problem! I just wanted to mention I was speaking to one of my friends who is also going to be working as a new grad at Providence in the ED (not the one at Mission Hospital, though), and she was told me that they told her they don't have a uniform in the ED-- asked her to wear whatever colored scrub pants she likes and a Providence approved t-shirt. I don't want to lead you astray in the uniform since I'll be on ortho, so it might be different on my unit.

Yeah, I asked my supervisor who is super helpful. I was told we buy our own scrubs and to make sure they're Royal Blue. They previously embroidered the side of their scrub tops to have something like "Providence RN" but are no longer having that on the uniforms (it sounds like they may have supplied the scrubs to employees back then). Side note: Would anyone happen to know if there's a weekend differential?

Can confirm for Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo. This was the amount I was also offered and was also told it was non-negotiable.

@tmht I haven't yet reached back out! There was a post (linked below) on a new grad facebook group that I follow where someone else went through the same thing, so I was hoping Mission Viejo was just a bit slower to their send official letters compared to the other Providences around! Edit: The message gave me hope, but I was getting worried because I haven't finished nursing school yet, so I was fearing that maybe they found out they cannot accept people who are planning on taking the NCLEX in January (before the program's start date) ?

Hi everyone, Congratulations on being accepted! I see some people are mentioning Mission, is this the hospital in Mission Viejo or Mission Hills? I received a call from Mission Viejo's location about 10 days ago they were planning on hiring me and that I was going to be contacted about a formal offer in about a week. I haven't received that offer yet and am seeing people from Mission mention that they have received one, so I'm getting a little nervous. Edit: Also, if everyone is talking about Mission Viejo, does anyone know if ICU was an available position? I don't believe I saw it on the list, but I was also trying to be fast on picking which unit I wanted, so I can see myself overlooking it!

Thank you so much for responding! Yes, mine also did end up changing to Fall 2021 after a day or two, so I was quite relieved to see that! ? I'm crossing my fingers for all of us!! ?

After I submitted my application, my status states "Posted." ?

Hi everyone, I'm also applying for Fall 2021! I applied last semester (for Spring 2021), but unfortunately didn't get in; however I was wondering if anyone else who applied last semester is also seeing the same status appear on their CSUN portal. The portal states my applicant status is for Spring 2021. Is anyone else who applied last semester seeing this as well? Good luck to all of us!! ?

Gah! Waitlist as well!

@FutureNurseTayler I have not! However, I strongly believe we'll know their decision by week 10! Crossing my fingers!! ? @Ashley Symone You're right, unfortunately, many ABSN programs seem quite pricey! The only ideal priced schools I've seen so far are the state schools in California! Thank you so much for the great resource! I will absolutely be checking it out and tweak my plan accordingly!! Here's my current game plan: -Study for about 1-2 hours per day, 1.5-2 months before taking the test. - For study material I'll probably use these 2 books (if you copy and paste them into Amazon, they'll pop up!): Book 1: ATI TEAS Secrets Study Guide: TEAS 6 Complete Study Manual, Full-Length Practice Tests, Review Video Tutorials for the Test of Essential Academic Skills, Sixth Edition Book 2: ATI TEAS 6 Study Guide: Spire Study System and ATI TEAS VI Test Prep Guide with ATI TEAS Version 6 Practice Test Review Questions for the Test of Essential Academic Skills, 6th edition - After reading through both books, find TEAS practice tests that I can use to highlight where I need to study more. - Read up on the areas I didn't do as well in, then take another practice tests. Repeat this step until I feel confident taking the test. I want to complete at least 5 practice tests before I officially take the test! All that said to also say...hopefully we get into USF, and don't have to take the TEAS! ??

@Ashley Symone I live in Southern California, and I really hope you get into USF b/c I know California will gladly welcome you! Those are great schools! A school on the east coat that I've been hesitantly looking at is Johns Hopkins Uni (not sure if they'd even accept me), but I'm still on the fence b/c I'm not sure I could be as brave as you to move to another state! I'm planning on taking the TEAS in August or September since (although I haven't been able to figure out when the 2020 deadline to apply is, based on last year's November 30th deadline) I'm assuming the deadline will be November 30th again. This way, if I completely bomb the first time I take the test, I'll have enough time to study again and reschedule/retake the test! I've also begun been looking at ABSN schools, so taking the test in August/September will allow me to apply to CSULA (they require TEAS as well), whose deadline is also November 30th! Have you looked into any ABSN programs?

@Ashley Symone I may be biased, but I think our expectations were very good! ? By the way, what other schools are you planning on applying to? ?

I had seen on Charles Drew’s website that they weren’t waiving it, but I didn’t know they were allowing you to take it at home! That’s pretty helpful! Side note: Y’all, I was SO hopeful they’d waive it!

Hey guys, I haven't heard anything back either! I'm also assuming we'll hear back from them during week 10 (between June 22nd and 26th)! IIRC, from reading the previous threads, rejections come out first, so I'm hoping to not hear from them at the moment! ? Good luck to everyone. ?

@NancyT Hi there! Welcome to the forum! Good luck to you as well!!
