1. 2010-11 San Francisco VA new grad program

   dordogne24 replied to icuuci's topic in California Nursing

   I dropped off my application in person on Dec. 10th....and no word back yet, yes or no. I have kind of given up all hope of a "new grad" spot at this point, it is just absurd how many awesome new...

2. New Grad SNF work... I am just exhausted and shocked

   dordogne24 replied to Bre14's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Thanks so much to all of you who replied to this thread. I might (MIGHT!) be getting a SNF job here in the Bay Area...if a phone conversation goes well tomorrow. I feel both scared and encouraged by...

3. Nclex 75 questions: Passed or failed?

   dordogne24 replied to I RN A's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I just took the NCLEX today, and it shut off at 75....so nice to be able to come on here and read all your kind words. They may have been directed at someone else, but our circumstances are the same...

4. STOPPED @ 75 questions

   dordogne24 replied to NURSING961's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   It stopped at 75...I'm in CA, who knows how long it will take before I get the results. You can be sure I will be obsessively checking the website Congrats to all you nurses who passed with 75 on...

5. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

   dordogne24 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

   Good morning CameronRex, Yeah, College of Marin is also a lottery system. I applied last year, and believe me it stings when you are at the top of the class and your (academically) mediocre...

   dordogne24 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

   wow, CameronRex...first of all, thanks so much for your detailed comments. I am totally shocked that with your volunteer experience and re-working of the goal statement (with insider help) you didn't...

   :icon_rolleyes: THE DREADED THIN ENVELOPE....it is mine. Wah....after crying my eyes out (I'm not done yet), I will take my own advice and focus on what's next...and what options are open to me now...

8. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

   dordogne24 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

   You know, there are a few people posting on this forum who got into UCSF on the second try. If you're up for it, you might think about putting some thought into (or asking them directly) what you...

   dordogne24 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

   That is a trip, I totally misinterpreted that bit...I thought everything had to be done before they offer you admission...it was a bit of a time crunch to do all my pre-req's by the end of this...

10. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    dordogne24 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That first letter they sent out, didn't it say something about notifying us if they needed supplemental materials? I wonder if, after a successful interview, they ask you to submit your transcripts...

11. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    dordogne24 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That is so strange to me...I guess they could potentially base their judgement of readiness for graduate-level work on a person's GRE scores and grades from undergrad in non-science courses. You...

    hi chickpea, check out the thread called something like "Any UCSF MEPN Applicants?" (search on UCSF MEPN)---apparently the letters went out yesterday!! Some people from the Bay Area have heard,...

    dordogne24 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Holy crap...8-4pm...no pressure there...hehe. I bet anything you'd feel comfortable wearing to a job interview would be fine. OK, time for me to make some pizza--'night all, and congratulations...

14. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    dordogne24 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I forgot to ask before--does it say anything about the difference between the two interviews, or just that you have to do it? Does the letter say anything else interesting that you'd like to share?...
