Did they send your packet back because you’re trying to appeal for nurse 2? Or did they initially offer you nurse 1 based on your examples for boarding? I’m in the process of writing my 9 nursing standard examples to a unit for board as a new hire.

Is it possible to send me the same as well? I need help as well. Thank you. [email protected]

Good morning! I was given a tentative offer! Now I’m working on the 9 dimensions and 3 letters of recommendations addressing those 9 dimensions to submit for boarding and salary determination. Can anyone provide me examples you had provided for each...

It’s been a good experience so far, They have me for CLC. I’ve had the same experience as you! Initially computer training the first week then floor in CLC and medsurg/ tele for a few weeks to get acclimated to the hospital system and charting. CLC i...

I recently interviewed for a permanent ER and ICU position and they asked for references right after my interview. Is this a good sign they’re interested? How long does it take to know if they’re interested after interview?

I accepted the firm offer and will start Monday for orientation. Can I ask how you’re doing and you’re experience since orientation?

They’re working on boarding me for the first week of July orientation if my vetpro and eqip clears on time. I’ve already done fingerprints. They already offered my salary, 22k more than my current job which I intend to keep part time or per diem.

No orientation yet. They’re doing my vetpro and they want detailed version of my resume to determine my salary. It seems like every VA is different. I will update once there’s further progress.

I was offered the same. The manager said it was for CLC but also overflow med-surg with expedited hiring process. 80 hrs pay period and night shift. HR said it would likely take 3 weeks to get processing done to get start date. Did you apply for the...

I just had an interview and they called my references the next day for a temporary full time position. Is it worth the risk of quitting my permanent job for a temp VA med-surg position? Does it help get your foot in the door to work a temp position a...

I have the same dilemma, I have the option of choosing SMU vs George Washington U for the FNP program. I'm leaning towards SMU because their graduates have a good reputation, especially in northern California. Upon graduation, most employers will re...

For those accepted, what were your reasons for choosing SMU?

I was accepted to Part Time for fall as well! The clinical hours don't start until semester 6 (correct me if this is wrong!) :) I'll be working full time in the ED and have a 1 year old baby. So excited to start the program!

studentmama! Congrats!!! I'm excited you start Fall! I'm getting really nervous because orientation starts next Wednesday!

If Vanillavirtue was an actual practicing nurse, where they had actual experience within the hospital, I would've given their opinions the benefit of a doubt. It's really dishearting to read negative opinions about the nursing profession from someone...

Overstudying is actually an interesting concept. I struggled with the issue of whether or not I should work while in nursing school. But, I decided that I am still going to work part time (8-12 hours/week) once I start nursing school because I would ...

Water83 and Coriander, thank you. :) studentmama, they already called me to give me a spot to start Fall. I think it's very good news that you are an alternate because you might start this Fall if some students don't work out or change their plans. ...

Just coming here to let some of you know that if you are within the cutoff, you might have a chance if some people decline or change their plans/decisions before late August. They called me Monday afternoon and gave me a spot for Fall because I was o...

If you haven't finished your US government or US Politics requirement to graduate, you can take them at SDSU. I need to finish my GWAR requirement. I'm not sure what else, but I need to look it up on the sdsu site.

Also, ****** said she would normally admit people with 67 points if they didn't cut down by 30 spots. Anyways, this is a good semester for me to take a VACATION!

Congrats to everyone that got in! I just spoke to ******, she said the cutoff was 72 points because she said they had to cut 30 spots for this fall. For the people that didn't get in, don't give up on SPRING 10!!! They will mail out the application ...

I feel sick knowing that my plans for fall is determined by the end of this week. I don't think I can sleep tonight. Good luck to everyone!

alexischristine, don't take my exact word for it. I don't know why they have 110 for NURS 202, but the rest of the 1st semester courses have about 80 availability. We have to keep in mind that there might be some students that could be repeating some...

SDSU's Fall 2009 Schedule is up!!!! It looks like the SON is admitting around 80 students for the 1st semester! OH NO! BUDGET CUTS!!! If I don't get in during Fall, then I'll wait for Spring rollovers.
