    How much will your education cost you?

    The UCLA direct-entry 2-yr MSN program I've applied to will total approximately $27K in tuition (CA resident, it's quite expensive if you're coming from outside of CA), and I haven't decided if I'm...
  2. BerkMom, I heard from last years candidates that they did have a wait list/alternates list, so we'll see. It just seems interesting to me that UCLA is the fall back school for most of the...
  3. Congratulations on MSMC! Do you have to accept before you find out if you've been granted the scholarship? If for some reason you don't get it would you still go there and take loans or consider UCLA?...
  4. So its finally March everyone! Now we just have to wait until late-March for notifications It seems like UCLA has chosen one of the latest periods to notify applicants compared to the other schools...

    ***FREAKING*** out!! SFSU BSN program

    This made me laugh so hard, because it sounds just like me! I remind everyone everyday that I'm one day closer to receiving my notification, and they all chime in, "Don't worry, of course you'll get...

    How competitive is your program?

    The UCLA MSN/MECN program I've applied to received 299 applications for 60 spots in Fall 2007 = 20% acceptance

    Help with Essay!!!!!

    :yeahthat: But seriously...I would just include that its important to be sincere about what you are writing and really try to allow your personality to shine through. Many people only include what...

    The agony of waiting for "the" letter

    The waiting does not get any better as you get closer to the expected notification date, trust me! I had my app in to UCLA by the deadline of December 15th, so by the time they notify us in late...

    Is it worth it?

    I've been reading a bit about future mandates in relation to advance practice nursing and the DNP or DNSc requirements. In terms of my personal interest, I've been focusing on the fact that the AANA...

    Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    I'm not in the UCSF pool of candidates, but I've been following the thread and sending positive thoughts towards you all. In terms of letting them know you applied elsewhere, I just can't believe...
  11. Nevermind...clearly didn't read the post! Good

    Is anyone else freaking?

    Yeah, I'm stuck here with you all as well....UCLA first told us mid-March and then late-March! I wish I had the luxury of a status website rather than a letter of ambiguous size appearing in my...

    How Many Times Do You Have To Take A&P1 ?

    I strongly disagree with this, as an individual retaking a course four times is just excessive and wasteful to other students who wish to enter the course and do well the first time. I'm sure there...

    So how long does direct entry MSN actually take?

    You will get more replies if this thread was moved into the Graduate Student Nurse Forum, most of the direct-entry threads are listed under that category and many applicants view them daily. FYI....

    Is there hope for me??

    Take it from me, a girl who left her first 4-year university with a GPA of 0.7 to end up eventually being accepted to and graduating from UCLA, there are always second chances to be had. Out of HS, I...

    My Back Up Plan aka "Plan B" lol

    I am seconding MBA2BRNs post, as sometimes the Plan B can actually work out in a better way than originally intended. I've only applied to one program for Fall '07 and my Plan B isn't entirely...

    Anyone taking Physiology separately?

    Here in Southern California you need to take Physio apart from Anatomy (or at least that's how it appears me at most CCs). Physio is my last pre-req to complete and fortunately I just finished my...

    How Many Times Do You Have To Take A&P1 ?

    Just wanted to contribute to this by stating that here in Southern California many of the ADN programs place a higher regard on the student who takes a nursing pre-req and gets a B (or even a C) the...

    accelerated bs to bsn in california

    Loma Linda University http://www.llu.edu/llu/viewbook/?view=program&program=92&school=5&iu=1&ig=1&ic=1&io=1&type=2&searchschool=5&school=5 They offer a BSN in 2.5...
  20. As I think about it, the UCLA SON has a private endowment they've received which covers full tuition for the program, you are able to apply for it after you are accepted into the program. I can't...
  21. I think the Kaiser scholarship would definitely make the MSM program worthwhile, so I wish you the best of luck. In terms of worrying about how CRNA programs would look upon the MECN/MSN, there were...
  22. I don't know much about MSM's BSN program, other than the cost is quite high for a BSN only (I think 37K?) I didn't apply to any BSN programs because my thinking was such that I've completed a...
  23. Quick update...I was dying to know how many apps were submitted for the Fall 2007 MECN program, and emailed Shelli Shepherd. Turns out there were 299 applicants for the 60 spots! Somehow this...

    How to fund a RN-MSN education

    Have you been checking the other threads regarding the future Columbia ETPers for Fall 2007? There seem to be more than a handful of them around here and I'm sure at least a few are in the same boat...

    human anatomy

    Amy, Also, I forgot to add that I realize its hard to appreciate this fact now...but having a more challenging professors when it comes to Anatomy or Physiology is a very good thing, IMO. I...
