  1. best MEPN programs in California

    pretzelpug replied to megamiepona's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think I found out about UCLA during the final four tournament... maybe around April? When did UCLA say they were sending out notices? I remember watching the nursing threads from people who'd...

  2. best MEPN programs in California

    pretzelpug replied to megamiepona's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi musictonurse, I felt the same way when I applied back in 2007. I was accepted to USD right after interviews (am currently a first-year MEPN), but was waitlisted for UCLA. I was #12 on the waitlist...

    pretzelpug replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Health Assessment Class - I think they said 3 days a week for two weeks I think...? I emailed Cathleen Mumper about when we're getting all that info, so I'll keep you guys posted! Does anyone know if...

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

    pretzelpug replied to NSFA08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just spoke with Shelli and she said that to be honest, I wasn't going to make it up the waitlist. She said that no one (up to date, within the past 10 mins) ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has declined the UCLA...

    Hey Jazzy29, I'm not traveling across country but I am originally from Virginia! I moved out to Indiana for college and went to LA for my master's at ucla... now I'm going south for SD so I know how...

  8. USD's MEPN program for Fall 2008

    pretzelpug replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No problem. And now that you bring it up - shadowing an NP is a really good idea, just to have some clinical exposure at least... plus, I spoke with one of the nurses I worked with at my last job and...

    Hey maj0079, I don't think I found anywhere with really straightforward information about the applicants, aside from what they already list in their information packet (did you request one?). They...

    pretzelpug replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey Hermosa, Yeah, they gave us til April 1st, since the original notification day was March 1st so I guess we got the 8 day advantage of knowing ahead of time. :) I'm guessing this is when they...

    pretzelpug replied to NSFA08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree - the sooner you get a foothold in the nursing industry, the better likelihood of you feeling the greater effects of the worsening shortage salary-wise, job-opportunity-wise, etc. Plus,...

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

    pretzelpug replied to NSFA08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Masaemasae, that is a lot cheaper than UCLA, by the way. UCLA (for my program that I am in right now for my MPH) is $32,500 per year plus $2,500 for the Summer part of the program, totaling near...

    pretzelpug replied to NSFA08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes I'm sure that you have a great application, they just went with something else, maybe it was some prior health care experience? I'm not sure. I am working to get a master's right now too, so that...

    Hey NurseJewels! How much do you love USD's program? Did you get a job already for when you finish? Did you still have time for yourself during the program? (and geez, how heavy was YOUR lunch box,...

    pretzelpug replied to NSFA08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It'll probably say that no decision has been made and allows you to view what documents were missing (which, the SON already sent us those letters a while back near Christmas time). Other than that,...
