1. Does it get better after nursing school?

   pmgamber replied to Buzzwump's topic in Stress 101

   It gets different. I noticed more a difference after my first year. The days aren't as hectic, you get used to the normal meds for your patients, you get to know the routine, you know OT, PT, Lab, MDs, secretaries, etc. Those things make the days ...

   Oh! Also, I knew I was ready to go, so I also had my deposit set aside and sent in the check the next day. Be ready for that too.

   I didn't get accepted till May. May 8th to be exact. They will accept till the week or two before school starts. I called, faxed, etc. I really kept up on everything. Vaccines, CPR, etc. I was in weekly contact with them. I don't know if my pe...

   Hi guys! I'm in the program now and was on the wait list last year. I kept my file current; vaccinations, CPR, etc. I also kept on them. I was on the phone just about once a week asking about open positions. I received an email first asking me t...

   I'm not going to tell you what they asked because I think this takes a lot away from the true interview. Be prepared to talk about yourself and your thoughts towards nursing, healthcare and your contributions to it. Basically, if you've put time in...

   Sarah, I'm a current student and know of a girl who was abroad when she was applying. Make sure that if you're asked to interview, you ask for a phone interview if you don't want to fly out. My friend was told she HAD to be here and once she got h...

8. Western Univ of Health Sciences??

   pmgamber replied to Amanda1985's topic in California

   Well, I'm only 5 weeks into my first year, and so far it is pretty intense, but it goes in waves. Last week was really stressful, this week isn't too bad, but this next week will be awful as we are preparing for midterms. We have class all day Mond...

    pmgamber replied to CardioNRS~DAWN's topic in California

    I applied for this Fall, obviously didn't get in but kept my name on the list. I've since been accepted elsewhere and am already in class. If I get accepted though, someone else can gladly have my spot!

    I don't think you're late at all. I don't think my app was in until October. You're ok. They look at the overall applicant. I had A's and B's in my pre-req's and asked them that during the interview. Even though I was accepted, I still didn't believe...

    I am in the MSN-E program at Western. We had orietation last Thursday, Friday and Convocation and our White Coat Ceremony on Sat. While classes don't start until the 18th, I doubt they will admit anyone. If they accepted 50 people, which I think they...

14. Looking for information re: RN admission to MSN program w/non-nursing BS?

    pmgamber replied to AJL_91's topic in Post Graduate

    Try www.westernu.edu. I am starting the MSN-E program, but I know for a fact they have a direct entry MSN program that is distance. You will have to come back to campus a few times a semester, but it's doable. Good luck! :)
