  2. What did you wear to your first interview?

    awhisler posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    awhisler replied to OCBreeze4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a LLU nursing student... as far as the essay.. best to stick with the tired ol' "why I an interested in nursing," "issues in healthcare," or some BS about what values a nurse should have (brownie...

  4. Just applied to Loma Linda

    awhisler replied to jackie345's topic in California Nursing

    I went into the regular track but I'm not sure if the acceptance process is the same for the accel track. There were about 6 accel students that started in my class. I honestly don't think the...

  5. Kaiser Southern California/Portland areas

    awhisler posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've heard Kaiser "pays more" than its neighboring hospitals in SoCal.. Is this true? What is the going rate for new grads or 1-2 year experienced nurses at Kaiser in Portland or Southern California?...

    awhisler replied to awhisler's topic in General Nursing

    I hear a loof bad press about Kaiser but I have never had a problem with them. However, I am a healthy person and never had to be admitted as a patient there. I have also worked with a nurse that...

    awhisler replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I go to a Christian University and it's a completely different atmosphere from what it sounds like at some of the other schools. They hug us all, I had one teacher bring homemade baked goods for every...

  11. are there anyone taking RT at Kaiser Permanente School?

    awhisler replied to care_gon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No idea about the Kaiser school. Not all schools have waiting lists. I applied for community college RN prog and my BNS prog at the same time and got into both on the first try. But, I know Northern...

  12. finish prerequisites completely before applyingor not?

    awhisler replied to macizu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Please tell me I am not crazy for turning this down

    awhisler replied to mommy2three2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    awhisler replied to FutureNS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Trying to compare my GPA with others who have already gotten accpeted

    awhisler replied to scubapupet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Opinions needed!

    awhisler replied to cloggersmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never met a school advisor/counselor that knew what they were talking about. World Religions looks great on a Nursing App because they teach you all that in school anyhow and it shows your...

  17. Accepted! Woohoo! Any advice?

    awhisler replied to SuperSteff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in total shock when I first started my BSN program. The orientation schedule, online tests... blah blah blah. University level schooling is a lot different than community college.. and took a...

    awhisler replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was somewhat in the same boat as you.. somewhat. I got accepted into a ADN program at a community college and a BSN program at a private university that would start around the same time as one...

    awhisler replied to joybells's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stick with nursing! Okay, I am a little biased being that this is a nursing forum. I am currently in a BSN program. When I first started there were about 5 people in my class that either were not...

    awhisler replied to care_gon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Are recommended texts necessary?

    awhisler replied to notthereyet0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I started my Fundamentals course I had the same amount of required and recommended books (maybe we're at the same school?) Every class since then (almost 2 years now) had had recommended books...

  25. Loma Linda anyone?

    awhisler replied to kerkins08's topic in California Nursing

    I have no idea!! A lot of help I am. I went into the traditional BSN route. I'm al just answering this as a hunch but I don't see a reason why they wouldn't let you apply when you are nearing your ADN...
