  1. Anyone accepted to Georgetown?

    sosiouxme replied to Kelzy's topic in General Nursing

    J. - Before you think I'm a nut, I just wanted to say that the reason I haven't asked Laura Adams directly (about deferment) is that I thought it might "red flag" my status, especially since I only...

  2. Anyone accepted to Georgetown?

    sosiouxme replied to Kelzy's topic in General Nursing

    J. - But, do you know if one can defer? I know I'll find out at the interview, but I know that you interviewed this past spring, and I saw another poster that interviewed in Fall of 2008 and said...

  3. Anyone accepted to Georgetown?

    sosiouxme replied to Kelzy's topic in General Nursing

    About how many people were at your interview? They offerred us the 12th (of September), or the 18th (which I picked). We don't have the packet/RSVP yet (we weren't notified that we had received...

  4. long beach city college and other college q's

    sosiouxme replied to tina55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing about Santa Ana, however, is that YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET IN. All of the other schools are either going by points based on your grades and completed courses, or doing the lottery thing....

  5. Saddleback Spring '09

    sosiouxme replied to AOX4RN's topic in California Nursing

    I thought that maybe they gave the September 13th date to stave off the multitude of telephone calls they start getting around the end of August. I wonder why it takes so long to evaluate the...

  6. Fall 09 hopefuls?

    sosiouxme replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with you, 2bnurse-1: it's simply AMAZING that every poster on this thread has a really high GPA, and such a coincidence,

  7. 80% ABSN tuition scholarships to G'town

    sosiouxme replied to whodatnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I also wanted to say that a private student loan (for those who never have, DO NOT get mixed up in any kind of government student loan program!) for the money the scholarship pays ($40,000) would...

  8. 80% ABSN tuition scholarships to G'town

    sosiouxme replied to whodatnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard that, if you take the scholarship, you must work in whatever department they want you to, and you also have to work whatever hours they want you to work (e.g. graveyard), etc. If you get...

  9. Saddleback Spring '09

    sosiouxme replied to AOX4RN's topic in California Nursing

    When I dropped my application off, I was told that they will not being notifying anyone until "after September 13th." The thing I don't like about ANY of these programs (even at the BSN or Direct...

  10. Anyone accepted to Georgetown?

    sosiouxme replied to Kelzy's topic in General Nursing

    The one thing I really want to know is if we NEED to actually GO to Georgetown to interview; I read somewhere on the Georgetown website that "undergraduates" (even though the ABSN program technically...

  11. adn program at santa ana college

    sosiouxme replied to tina55's topic in California Nursing

    You have to complete ALL pre-requisites before they will take you on the waiting list. You can go to the orientation any time before you turn in your application. You no longer have to meet with a...

  12. Anyone accepted to Georgetown?

    sosiouxme replied to Kelzy's topic in General Nursing

    Gee, I know this post is four months after you guys have posted, but I just was browsing around and saw it; I hope one of you might help. I am waiting to see if I get into the Accelerated BSN program...

  13. BSN vs. RN Salary

    sosiouxme replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    An RN with only the "ADN" (which, by the way, is not considered a college degree) would make as much as someone with a BSN only if they hold the same position. However, most BSN's are hired at higher...

  14. Am I alone? Please tell me I am not!

    sosiouxme replied to goingformydream's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At Santa Ana, you have to do the Anatomy (4 units), Physiology (4 units), and Microbiology (either the 5 unit, or the 4 unit course), as well as English 101 and Math 60, before you can get on the list...

  15. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    sosiouxme replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You're right, tferdaise. And as far as other posters claiming the BSN is "no closer to happening than it was 30 years ago;" they are, in fact, wrong. This is a primary reason so many schools are...

  16. Seeking employment with VA hospital

    sosiouxme replied to gratefulnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Then, maybe it varies by state; here in CA a Registered Nurse must have a BSN, and also in Utah, where my housemate's brother is a BSN/RN with their

  17. Am I alone? Please tell me I am not!

    sosiouxme replied to goingformydream's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, most every school except for Santa Ana is doing away with Waiting Lists; they are going to the process of taking applications for each term, and taking the highest-ranking students (e.g....

  18. Clinic recommendations for required titers?

    sosiouxme replied to Asherah's topic in California Nursing

    Do you know that you cannot legally be "required" to have Hep B vaccines? You need to request a Declination form and sign it, and they will put it in your file. I have to sign one every year for my...

  19. Am I alone? Please tell me I am not!

    sosiouxme replied to goingformydream's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Santa Ana didn't get a "grant," per se; St. Joseph Hospital is funding their Extended Campus Nursing Program so that Santa Ana now can take 96 students a semester instead of 48. It's expected,...

  20. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    sosiouxme replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    North Dakota has done the same thing. There are now more Bachelor's and Master's programs opening up than AA/ADN programs and most have, for instance, 200-500 applications every academic period....

  21. Seeking employment with VA hospital

    sosiouxme replied to gratefulnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I assume you already have at least a BSN; the VA, or any federal employer (military) requires a Bachelor's or higher to work as a

  22. Nurse Aide background checks

    sosiouxme replied to KarynicaRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    It's not the state Board of Registered Nursing, or even all of the clinical sites but, here in California, almost all of the community colleges are requiring "clear" background checks before clinical...

  23. GPA ? I'm so sad! Please help/advice/info

    sosiouxme replied to Mehow143's topic in California Nursing

    300 years? That sounds about

  24. GPA ? I'm so sad! Please help/advice/info

    sosiouxme replied to Mehow143's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, but the Wait List for Santa Ana College is now up to about 600 people. And, if you have a low GPA (they admit 24 people a semester from the 30+ list and 24 from the beginning of the...

  25. Am I alone? Please tell me I am not!

    sosiouxme replied to goingformydream's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the first group is taking it Friday, May 2nd. I'm not taking it, but know two people who are. I'm surprised that one only has to score 67% overall; I thought each individual part of the test...
