1. Any Fall 2008 UCLA - MECN Program Applicants out there?

   odamae replied to NSFA08's topic in Post Graduate

   I agree with you about the GRE- I am the same way about which schools I apply to based on this requirement. I have not taken this kind of an exam in a very long time and from the practice questions, it seems to be a super SAT testing 9th and 10th gr...

   Not to be doom and gloom but will you reapply to the MECN or start another program if you do not make it this go-around? If another program- which one? I am going to the CSUN open house on April 25 and bringing transcripts. I am going to take a mo...

   Funny you should mention that- I was looking at the schedule of courses for summer at UCLA SON today and saw the epi class. It does have a lab. I too would like to take it online if that is available. Does anyone know how much a class like that ru...

   Hi Everyone, I am new to this thread but am interested in applying to the UCSF MEPN program next application cycle. I am a bit overwelmed esp. with the breakdown of program into specialties. Could you tell me where to start to decide if the program...

   Thank you for this information. I am glad I stumbled onto this when looking at the JHU SON website. My regsitration has been confirmed for March 15. I know some people are not able to go out of state for training but there are really terrific pro...

   Asherah- Is the GRE required for the accelerated BSN program at JHU? There is an open house for JHU prospective students this weekend in Marina del Rey- I just registered. I would so love to go to JHU for this program- sounds great!

   Thanks Asherah- I am so glad I slapped some sense into myself, swallowed my pride and marched myself over to the SON. And I am glad it was in person too with my application carcass available for post-mortem. I was completely clueless as to issues i...

   I spoke with Dean Cardin today in her office. I would encourage anyone out there who was not accepted and wants feedback in order to reapply to the UCLA MECN program and other nursing programs, to contact her. She is very candid and tells you exact...

    I appreciate this information. I wonder if the statement also applies to an MD educated in the US? That statement was under the section regarding training outside the US. I can see where a foreign medical graduate may want to use the RN as a backd...

    Sorry to ask so many inane questions but does anyone know whether you have to have a degree from a nursing program to sit for the NCLEX? For example, if you have an MD degree, would they allow you to take the exam? I was not able to tell from looki...

    Hey Kids, Out of curiosity, may I ask what kind of volunteer work you did to prepare yourself for nursing school applications? And was it important to work closely with a nurse? I did volunteer work in the Cedars-Sinai ER- I did not really get a ch...

    Well-said Kathy. You are preaching to the choir with me. One thing that stands out in my mind about the information session I attended in the fall 2007 was the emphasis one of the students who spoke put on nursing salaries. She had a liberal arts...

    Thank you Asherah. Very wise and practical words indeed. This is why I wrote to Dean Cardin straight away after receiving the rejection (before putting the letter in the shredder ). I want to know if I am better advised to seek another program rat...
