    Congratulations Dizzymisslizzy and Caligirl. I got in too! Not sure where I am gonna go. I still need to hear from schools UCLA, UCSF etc.. I already put down a deposit at one school (Western). I dont...

  3. University of San Francisco CNL Entry Masters

    Sandman2855 replied to Sandman2855's topic in Post Graduate Students

    67 x 1,000 = 67,000. I think you forgot to move the decimal over :) Makes a big difference though. You are correct that the USF program gives you RN licensure after the first year and then your MSN...

  4. University of San Francisco CNL Entry Masters

    Sandman2855 replied to Sandman2855's topic in Post Graduate Students

    To clarify, I applied to USF last year (to start in summer, 2009) and was accepted. I believe I got my notification sometime in March. It was the only school I had applied to because it was the only...

  6. Nursing school roadblocks

    Sandman2855 replied to Michaelxy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey. I think you should definitely go for it. First of all, a 3.5 gpa is really good especially with a strong science background. I don't think your C in molecular bio will hurt you much because it is...

  9. UCSF MEPN Applicants for 2010 entry

    Sandman2855 replied to samsam72's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow that's better odds than I had expected! I really hope that's true. I had previously heard that they usually invite exactly twice as many applicants to interview as the number of spots they have...

  10. UCSF MEPN Applicants for 2010 entry

    Sandman2855 replied to samsam72's topic in Post Graduate Students

  12. UCSF MEPN Applicants for 2010 entry

    Sandman2855 replied to samsam72's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well it was an interesting experience. The interview invitation letter was confusing and inadequate so I was glad I arrived early. My letter said to meet "in N, in the medical sciences building xxx...

  13. Western University of Health Sciences

    Sandman2855 replied to ham_tranwich's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That will indeed be sucky since most of the schools I applied to I wont hear from until March. I guess you could always pay the deposit as an insurance policy.. would suck to eat $500 or whatever it...

  14. Western University of Health Sciences

    Sandman2855 replied to ham_tranwich's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The best they gave us was February/March. That's exactly the wording in the Orientation booklet they handed out. Hopefully more feb than

    Sandman2855 replied to 2bRN4BABES21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey for those of you with Bachelors degrees, have you looked into accelerated BSN or direct-entry Masters nursing programs? I have a BA in psych, took my pre-reqs at SMC and am now applying to MSN...

  16. Is there anyone attending santa monica college

    Sandman2855 replied to 2bRN4BABES21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took all my pre-reqs at SMC. dont worry about the "arrange 1 hour" thing. It means you are required to go to the Learning Resource Center and study for a certain number of hours, adding up up to an...

  17. Western University of Health Sciences

    Sandman2855 replied to ham_tranwich's topic in Post Graduate Students

    healthychick, I didn't feel like the dress code was a big deal but all of the guys were in suits. As for the women, I'm not sure what exactly is considered a suit but everyone was well dressed. Its...

  18. Western University of Health Sciences

    Sandman2855 replied to ham_tranwich's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The writing part is nothing to be nervous about. It's really short and it's open ended. We were told that it is not used as part of the evaluation process but rather to assess your writing skills...

  19. Western University of Health Sciences

    Sandman2855 replied to ham_tranwich's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It's really not too bad. They go out of their way to make you feel relaxed. Just know why you're applying for the program and a little about the role of a nurse. The rest is just being yourself and...

    Sandman2855 replied to ham_tranwich's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Jlee10: I know that intuitively it seems like interviewing earlier would be better but I would imagine they wait till everyone has interviewed and then begin deciding who gets in. That seems like the...

  24. I got a "B" in physio...am i doomed?

    Sandman2855 replied to hmpark's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends what the rest of your application looks like. I really think its unlikely that a B in physio would hold you back from getting in anywhere on its own. Also, you dont have to take Ochem and...
