Hey Everyone! I also got in to UCSF Acute Care NP program for fall :) Just curious, Did anyone get anything official in the mail? Welcome letter? Any more "formal" information? The only thing I have received so far was from fin aid regarding how to log on to myaccess acct. Congrats to all who got into UCSF and other NP schools and I can't wait to meet you you guys in the fall:) Also anyone else making the move to UCSF?? I will be making the move from So. Cal to UCSF :)

Hey ! thanks for the info, but Im a little confused. You had orientation already (did u mean the interview?)? I don't know if I remember a pink piece of paper. I also talked to Nursing Resource today and scheduled my New Hire Paperwork for Feb 6. I think she said there will be more dates offered in Feb just to fill out the New Grad Hire paperwork. I was also informed that the official start date will be Feb 9th.

Hey i know that is kind of nice that we already know at least 2 other people who will be there in Feb :). I heard the same thing as well. They said that HR had not set the official date and that it would be around mid to end of Feb. I set up my appt for my physical in Jan but I wasn't able to schedule an appt for my new hire paperwork. Were they able to schedule you guys an appt for the new hire paperwork? I tried to set one up but they said they have not received the packet from the manager and to call back again. Let me know if you guys run into this as well :) Looking forward to meeting you guys! I wish you both luck with the move to LA:)

I actually don't live that far from UCLA. I live about 17 miles south of UCLA. But just as an fyi, it took me almost 2 hours to get to my interview (rush hour traffic + accident that day)! I have lived in the LA area almost all my life, even though I don't enjoy the traffic...that is just how LA is. So if you are going to move, try to pick a place that is relatively close by (unless you don't mind the traffic:coollook:). Keep in mind Brentwood/Westwood area will be one of the more expensive areas to live in. Good luck with your housing search! I'm looking forward to meeting you in Feb!

Hey superdave1222, I took the tour of CTICU, seems like a very busy floor to work at and I met some of the staff and they seemed really nice. Are you considering other hospitals or have u decided to accept the offer from UCLA? Well enjoy the tour when you go!

Hello! Thank you so much for the info! I recently got offered positions in CTICU and Liver/Surgical ICU and I appreciate all the information you shared! How do like working in Liver/Surgical ICU? Did you also enjoy the new grad orientation on that unit? Any additional information would be great!

I accepted the offer for CTICU=) yayyy.. I also got a call today from Liver Transplant/SICU and they offered me a position as well! Im just very grateful to have been offered one at UCLA...:) Have you taken a tour of CTICU yet?

Yeah it is still pretty early in the week but I wanted to wish you luck!!:nuke: What units were you looking into?

Hello! I interviewed on the 12th and I got offered a position at CTICU. I took a tour with the director of MICU this week and he has yet made a decision. What about you?

Hey shope, I was just offered a job at CTICU as well and will be making a decision tomorrow..YAY im so excited...congrats to you to u as well and good luck with the move to LA;) I did my undergrad at UCSD and i know how awesome living in SD is :nuke:so hope you don't miss it too much!

Thank you so much for your response. I know im stressing too! I can't decide between Hurst and Kaplan or even both! hehe

hello everyone! did anyone take the hurst review? I was just wondering b/c i was considering taking this review and wanted to see if anyone took this review before and how it worked out for any of you.

Hey Mini Cat, I hope all goes well for you. I will be taking my boards in january as well so I wanted to wish you luck!!:nuke:

Hey Richo, I got your PM. I interviewed for for MICU, Liver/SICU, and CTICU. So now I guess it is just a matter of waiting for us! What did u interview for ? Have you heard anything yet?

hey mautot:lol2: , I also interviewed for UCLA last Wednesday. UCLA seems like such an awesome hospital to work for...Hope your interview went well and I wish you luck!

Hey Sara, I am in the ELMSN program. I got your private msg but was not able to reply back. As a part of the first cohort, we will be sitting for our boards in January so we have been very busy. Since it is a new program we have learned to be very flexible and nursing school is just tough in general but I am glad I went through it and the school does try hard to listen to our concerns/ideas/suggestions. Clinicals are always tough when so many schools are trying to get placed but I have enjoyed my clinical rotations so far and most were in the Orange County area. Some of the clinical sites include Mission Hospital, St. Jude, St. Joseph, Placentia Linda, Kaiser, Western Med, and Fountain Valley. Hope some of this information helps and I wish you luck!

hello nskoog, do u know if the option still holds true? I know that since Fullerton is such a new program, a lot of things keep changing. I just wanted to know if you had inquired about this option recently because I don't recall Mary ever mentioning this option to me. Thanks!

Congratulations! When's ur interview? Mine is Thursday morning

hey! im actually completing my prereqs at fullerton right now..from what i heard there were about 350 applicants and theyre inviting back about 120 students for interviews. I believe they sent the letters on friday and emails are going out as well. so yes..its going to be pretty competitive.. but i wish u luck on your application!

Well since the program does not start until 2007, because they are not accreditted yet, everyone who applies now is provisionally accepted until you finish and do well on all your classes. I am pretty sure you will get in! What classes have u signed up for? But I understand, waiting was the worst for me since the application deadline was so late and we start school on monday! hehe well good luck and maybe ill see you soon!

My aoplogies. I meant Cal State University Fullerton's entry level Master's program.

Is anyone here admitted into CSUF's ELMSN program?

Hi, I recently got admitted for CSUF's ELMSN program . I was just wondering if there were others who will begin to start taking classes at Fullerton this fall who also got admitted into this program.
