Got an acceptance from the school of nursing today!! I'm still waiting for the official one from the UCLA graduate program. Good luck everyone!

Hey all! I applied for the FNP program. I've been checking my email and application status every day. I have a friend in the program who got their decision status in February so hopefully we'll all hear soon..

I'm also NICU but I'm at 2:45

I don't remember if I had to send all of my transcripts or just my NYU one... either way, I had a C in my previous undergrad (I think it was an unrequired science class as well) and I still got offered the externship. I think they're mostly concerne...

I got the email on Monday also and just today received another email with my interview time. I live in So Cal so my interview is in person and they scheduled it for Friday. Good luck to everyone who's waiting to hear! :)

Hey all! I was wondering if anyone got into Georgetown and/or got the WHC scholarship? I got into the Accelerated BSN program and I'm finding it hard to make a decision so I just wanted to see if anyone else is in the same boat. I also got into N...

Umm... I feel like research was forever ago, but I do remember her exams coming from the readings. I didn't really get a whole lot out of her lectures, but definitely read the powerpoints. And by that, I don't mean to tell you it's not worthwhile t...

Who do you guys have for fundamentals? It's hard to give study advice because I think that everyone learns differently and everyone is coming from different backgrounds so I don't really know what you know already. When I was in the class I thought...

If the bundle is something you're interested in then yes, I think you should at least call and see if they have them. If it's not then you can buy the books anywhere and you can probably even get them used to save money

I'm in the same boat as you... I will be graduating in December '09 and I would love to work at UCLA, however I emailed the nurse recruiter and asked if there would be a new grad program this winter and she said no. So then I asked if they ever hire...

Everyone in the program has differing opinions on professors so you're going to find it difficult to get a consensus. Personally, I've not been overly impressed with some of my professors. Some of them are great, and some of them are not. Honestly,...

I've seen people record lectures and I don't think it's a problem, although I would get permission from the professor first. Many people bring their computers in as well. Most of the professors lecture from Powerpoints which they typically post on ...

I don't know anything about an intro class. I definitely didn't have to take one. If you're talking about an actual class that you sign up for, I think that it could possibly be something that brand new freshman have to take, but not second degree ...

No. All white nursing shoes (ie clogs... Nursemates is a decent brand) or all white tennis shoes only. I don't know how safe Crocs are anyway.. there's not a lot of protection going on there :)

It doesn't bother me that I have a ton of loans because I know that I'll pay them off eventually. I think it would be bothersome if I felt like I wasn't going to get hired somewhere, but I don't feel that way at all, so I'm not too worried. I'm ac...

In my class, there are about 150 accelerated students. I think there are about 200 in the class behind us. I have no idea how many end up graduating. As far as I know there haven't been many people who have dropped out. A few people have had to r...

Most of my money is coming from private loans, and I use Citibank :)

I think it's highly recommended that you don't get a part time job, but I wouldn't say that it's impossible. If you're very disciplined to study when you have the time and you can find a job with a flexible schedule I think it could work, but it wou...

Your classes will be in the buildings surrounding Washington Square park, which is where most of the NYU buildings are. And your clinicals are 8 hours a day (7:30-3:30), and the first semester you'll be going every other week, one day a week. The al...

Books are about 500 per semester... and that's a very rough estimate. I bought most of my books new because the bookstore has a deal with the publishing company that makes the books, and when you buy them new in the bundle package, you also get free...

Clincals start the first semester and you might even be at clinical in your first week. You'll have Fundamentals of Nursing as your first nursing class and you'll have clinical every other week for the first semester. The weeks that you're not at y...

Hey there! Unfortunately I don't know anything about Pace. Sorry!!

Hey there! Don't worry, it'll work out!! I'm from California as well and I didn't know a soul before I moved out here. In fact, I didn't even have an apartment lined up until I moved. I got really lucky so I don't think that you made a mistake. ...

Loans, loans, and more loans. There's not a lot of time to work, but I know some people who do. Actually, I'll be working in the fall, so I'm a liar. LOL. So for the first three semesters I'm not working, but I will in my last. If you budget well...

I think that rent right now is cheaper than when I was looking, but I worked out a budget for myself and decided that I couldn't pay more than 1,000/month no matter where the apartment was. It was important for me to live in Manhattan, so I spent a l...
