smellyacres BSN, RN

I have a question for anyone who knows the answer to this: When I filled out my application for Swedish, when asked about preferred units, it listed Telemetry, Intermediate Care Unit, and Progressive Care unit. Can anyone tell me the difference betw...

I'm from SoCal! Good luck!!! I hear the first one is pretty straight forward getting to know you type questions. Do you know if they require in-person interviews at any point? Obviously I would if needed, but just curious because I still have six wee...

I have a phone interview next week! Can anyone tell me what types of questions they asked? Thanks so much!! (I am out of state)

I just recently put my application in for the October cohort. I graduate in August with my BSN from CA. I haven't heard anything, it's been a few weeks, not sure if that's normal... the application is still open. Anyone heard anything for October? Al...

I applied for the October cohort! I'll from So Cal so I don't know how good my chances are, I don't have any connections - anyone have any advice?? Thanks!

Hey everyone! Hope ya'll are doing well, haven't posted in a while but glad to be back! I'm graduating with my BSN in August and I live in Southern California. I'm would ideally like to get a job at Kaiser, but I'm having trouble finding any kind of...

I don't know if this topic is still open, but for anyone who has the answer to this question: how have you found application periods/new grad program information for Kaiser Permanente (any location)? Is having an "in" or setting up a search engine al...

PS. I'm also interested in relocating to Oregon (my 92 year old grandmother is lonely). So any information on Oregon or Washington Kaisers would be helpful as well, though I know that's much more unrealistic as an out-of-state new grad. :)

I am graduating in Los Angeles with my BSN in August and am interested in relocating to Oregon. Would you be able to give me more information about Bay Area Hospital's new grad program? Thanks!

Does anyone have any information about the agreement between Santa Monica City College and CSU Dominguez Hills? There is not very much information online. It seems that once you are on the wait list for Santa Monica CC (which is 1-2 years), you can ...

Hey all, Let me preface this by saying I have not graduated yet... but I like to stay ahead of the game when it comes to preparing for employment after graduation. Here is my situation: I attended a 2-year ADN program from 2012-2013 in the LA area....

I failed a nursing course over halfway thru my ADN program by 1% and there were too many students who failed with me, needing to retake the course the following term, for only several available spots. I transferred to West Coast University (I believe...

Hey guys, I used to use this site all the time BEFORE I started nursing school, and I've been in the program almost a year now and I don't think I've used it once! But I need help. Badly. So I'm turning to you all for some possible insight/help/supp...

The first semester was alright, not too hard. N20 sucks, it was really hard - we lost like 5 students of less than 40. Never studied so hard for a class before, let alone just to pass - but it's do-able, just form study groups right away. I'm in N25 ...

You have a pretty good shot of getting in. I'm finishing up my second semester of SMC's nursing program now. I think most of the alternates except for a few got in during my entrance period. You'll find out your alternate number at orientation and if...

Or email ------- under the counseling department in the directory. She contact me last week for clarification about some previous coursework. She's a counselor for the nursing department.

I emailed Michelle. I emailed her last semester also because I didn't hear anything and she sent me acceptance as an alternate (if spaces opened up I would get in), but I chose to forgo possible admission for Spring 2012 to finish the rest of my co-...

Woo hooooooo!! I'm starting Fall as well :) It's about time, I finished all of my prerequisites in the Fall of 2009!!! I bounced around for a little bit trying to decide what to do with myself before going to nursing school (I was only 18 back then!!...

I got an invite for Fall, but I sent her an email asking about my position on the waitlist and she emailed me the acceptance letter in return. I'm taking interpersonal communication now, and let me just say that with my professor... one of the best ...

You're talking about an invitation to take the NLN, right? Not invitations to start the program, that is what I was talking about. I applied Oct. 2010, anyone heard anything about when invitations to start the program will be sent out? I was an alte...

So I'm currently in nursing school getting my ASN. I eventually want to go on to get a MSN. UCSF has a partnership with JFKU, for those with an ASN, to first obtain their BA in Health Science, NOT a BSN (sidebar: their also partnered with GGU but I'...

Hey all, So I'm in nursing school now for my ASN. I eventually would like to get my MSN and teach at a community college or university level. What TYPE of MSN should I look into going to school for? I don't want to become a nurse practitioner, so g...

Anyone find out anything more about this program? I'm interested as well, but as stated about, I don't want to rely on UCSF's master's degree program in case I don't get in.

I thought we're supposed to hear sometime in May? I applied October 2010 and I'm still waiting. I took the NLN October 2011 because I was in the top 200, but didn't make the cut, so I can only assume I will be hearing from them soon...
