UCLA Nursing_08

Thanks for sharing a good story. It engenders me to have a deeper appreciation for the wonderful nurses that are out there.

i’m not a nurse but i frequently interact with several doctors in my unit. i remember a situation where an ms iii came in and inquired about a patient’s medical test. the patient’s medical record was loosely organized and the doctor seemed to have th...

I do agree with the above statement. You don't need to apply to 10 schools. You're just wasting money on application fees. Applying to 4-5 schools is a good number. Remember, the admitted applicant does not necessarily have good grades, plenty o...

Has anyone on the waiting list hear anything from Shelli yet?

Hello everyone, There is a Yahoo Group for the class of 2010. Membership is restricted to students because there are some information such as phone numbers that I feel should not be released to the public. http://groups.yahoo.com/search?query=UCLA...

Hello finger crossed, You're very welcome. Actually it is not too late for you to take classes this summer. In fact, if you have a few pre-requisite courses to take this summer, I highly encourage you to take them. For example, if you still need Nurs...

Hello ranaazah, Well said. I also want to add that it seems like "nurses do eat their young." It bothers me that nursing students go through a rigorous program, hoping to graduate, pass the NCLEX, and receive support from older nurses. In lieu, we ha...

Hello everyone, I find this interesting to read, so I thought about sharing it with you guys. I wonder what's the stress level like for medical students. https://allnurses.com/forums/f8/nursing-school-vs-nursing-292091.html Enjoy!

Hello fingercrossed and wait-listers, What you heard about "over 20 people from the waiting list last year made it in" is true. Schools like CSU Long Beach have a later deadline so some won't be hearing from CSULB until May (or even June!). When May ...

Hello RedHead85, I just sent you an add request. Check your e-mail. I look forward to getting to know you. See, it is difficult to find me on any social network. Some of my friends have a hard time finding me. If you type my full name in the se...

Hello Jason, I don't think nursing school gives more admissions points if you're a male. Every nursing applicant is evaluated on the same page. However, some schools may not want all nurses in their classes. They may take in a few males to balance th...

Hello ham_tranwich, Congratulation on being admitted to the FNP MSN-E portion of the program at Western University. I just found out about this thread and am glad to meet some of you. While I have not gone through this program before, I personally ...

Hello RedHead85, I sent you PM containing how you would go about in adding me on these social networks. Thanks for the cordial post.

Thanks, RedHead85 for the housing information. :wink2:Yeah, it would be much quicker to do it online than to snail mail the housing application. The best thing is you don't have to bring your car to campus four times a week. Also, near the end of the...

to everyone on the waiting list, i'm praying for you guys to get the good news tomorrow. i bet you that there will be several people calling in tomorrow (the deadline)to notify son on whether or not he/she wants a seat for fall 2008. it's always li...

Hello maj0079, Most graduate nursing schools look at the last 60 semester or 90 quarter units to figure out your GPA. The last two years of your undergraduate are heavily weighed as they are much more challenging than the first two years in which ma...

Hello cdnnursingstudent, I have not heard of any nursing journals where the readership is primarily students. It appears to me that your professor really wants you to get your research published in a respectable nursing journal. When you click on t...

Hello modelmama, I do agree with the comment you've made in the previous post. The question is not about "let's do some health care volunteer work, hoping that it will give the admissions committee two thumbs up when reviewing my application," but ...

hello everyone, i contacted shelli and she said that there will be a mandatory orientation on friday, august 1. i told her that i might not be in the area, and she kindly stated that i should arrange my flights before or after august 1st as this is ...

Hello everyone, Still looking for an epi class? In addition to Epi 100 offered exclusively on-line, there is another epi course in case some of you are unable to get into Epi 100. This course is NUR 50: Fundamentals of Epidemiology and is being off...

Hello maybemaybenot, You should not equate being at the bottom of the waiting list to little or no hope of getting in. Maybe you will get in! :wink2: You keep your hopes up, ok? Remember, many of the students who are applying to UCLA are also app...

hello everyone, this is a message reminding everyone to send shelli a short letter notifying her by april 4th that you will be attending ucla. if you decide to attend another nursing program, send her a courtesy e-mail (this is optional) to let her k...

Hello deni_in_LA, All the accepted students need to notify Shelli by April 4 on their decision. After April 4, Shelli will get a clearer better of ( insert unknown number here) acceptance letters that went out, how many have confirmed their admissio...

Thanks, Oda Mae . To all prospective applicants, start thinking about your application essay and remember that Nov. 1 is the deadline to submit your applications to SON. Most graduate programs at UCLA require applicants to submit their applications...

I noticed that a few students from other nursing schools are creating a Yahoo Group for their classmates. I found one for UCLA MECN. I'd think it is too early to start a group until everyone confirms their acceptance by the deadline. After the dea...
