    Gemi523 replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Gemi523 replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    None of the ucla graduate programs can be done part time. You must accept into the program knowing that for the next 2 yeas, you will be going to school full time. If accepted, all cohorts start in...

  7. UCLA MSN Fall 2014

    Gemi523 replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It's kinda pointless for us to scrutinize over when we will know if we have been accepted or not. We will know when we know. Lancermav_RN, for Berkeley extension for physio, is it a rolling class...

    Gemi523 replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I emailed Mark with admissions. I need to retake Physio and classes start on March 31st via ucla extension. I asked him if decisions would be out by the first day of class. He replied: "It is our...

  11. UCLA MSN Fall 2014

    Gemi523 replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    From what I gather from a friend in the program, the SOP is ranked high and your references, if they give you a bad reference can hurt you. My ADN GPA was horrendous. That was 9 years ago when getting...

    Gemi523 replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I only applied to UCLA since I need to be in LA because just started work at UCLA and I have a young baby I need to establish roots for. I intend to work full time for as long as I can and hope there...

  13. O2 percentages and liters

    Gemi523 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all that info Traumasurfer! I think simple concepts are more of the immediate concern for this poster in order to at least deliver care and chart things that actually make sense and can...

  14. O2 percentages and liters

    Gemi523 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Might I add, scary too, the physician wrote this order. Resident, I hope? Not like that makes it acceptable when dealing with people's lives. It truly is up to the nurse to double check a physicians...

    Gemi523 replied to maui2413's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Sounds like with pupillary changes so early on, probably not a whole lot you coulda done. Also in my experience, Ive only done hypothermia protocol on patients s/p cardiac arrest. Unfortunately it...

    Gemi523 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

  17. O2 percentages and liters

    Gemi523 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Any patient with a trach collar should have a humidifier. Humidifiers come with the Fi02% dials. In my opinion, the order was written inappropriately and the charting is messed up. really scary to...

  18. Is this salary range realistic?

    Gemi523 replied to GlowBear500's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Check out the Ca BON website about applying for a CA RN license. Depending on the TX BON and how quickly they can send over your information will depend on how smooth the transaction will be. It will...

  19. Am I stupid for changing to the LPN program when I am passing the RN program?

    Gemi523 replied to ruby1228's topic in General Students

    PS- i was also a CNA while in nursing school. I found that my classmates who never stepped foot in a hospital or touched a patient did the best in nursing school because they did not draw from real...

  20. Am I stupid for changing to the LPN program when I am passing the RN program?

    Gemi523 replied to ruby1228's topic in General Students

    I failed a semester in RN school. But kept at it. Now Ive been an ICU nurse for 8 years. Just completed my bachelors and applied to UCLA for the NP program. I don't know where you live, but RN's...

  21. Is this salary range realistic?

    Gemi523 replied to GlowBear500's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It completely depends on where you live. And yes, new grads do make $90K+ year in Northern California. But it is extremely competitive. Over my eight years of nursing, I have never made less than...
