I am interested in pursuing a per diem position at this facility in Los Angeles, anyone have feedback on the place? It is for their resource pool, thanks!

But what if you use a pen name on Facebook and use a different email to login than the one you use for work? Couldn't that potentially hide you from employers?

When I was a kid in the 70s, they ALL looked like this :) But alas, times have changed ... they just don't care anymore

lt's the same in the legal profession ... When you graduate from law school you are considered a JD, the same academic degree which you earn ... sometimes they are called law grads. But you may never add "Esq." after your name until you have passed the bar exam of any state. That is the designation of a licensed lawyer. To be honest, if it could be done I would gladly trade in my Esq. for an RN right now. Just have to be patient (no pun intended) ... as in about a year I can have both

About 60 more or less.

Just sent you PM, yes got yours ... sorry, you guessed right, I am swamped with last week of work and an impending move!

I'm good like that, bern!! I know of two students personally through Facebook that have chosen to go to other schools. The other one I found out through email, as this student inadvertently hit Reply All to an email from the school when she should have just hit Reply. Hopefully one of those empty seats will be YOURS! :monkeydance:

Just found out that the one that was still on the fence is headed elsewhere. That makes 3 open seats.

Good post. I, like you, took only the prereqs I could handle at once and did them well. You're right, sometimes it only comes down to grades and I don't even know of a school that actually looks at how long it took you to complete prior degrees or courses (except of course, sciences that have to be completed within last 5-10 years). If there is a school like that, best to look elsewhere! Nursing is very competitive these days, might as well go full force with everything you do!

Ugh, stop that already! It's Registered Nurse. No big deal! :smackingf

The ABSN 2011 starts in 6 weeks! For anyone who is still on the waitlist for this program, just wanted to pass along that it seems 2 of the originally accepted students have since decided to attend elsewhere, and I know of 1 other person still on the fence. There may be more, who knows - but these are the numbers I know of so far. A glimmer of hope for those of you still grabbing onto the rope! Good luck!

Honestly would feel guilt-free to water-balloon anyone I see wearing these.

Yeah, more than likely you spoke to the wrong nurse on the wrong day! Definitely speak to as many nurses as possible, don't let one bad apple change your mind about things! That is what I did. I certainly got more positives than negatives. PA programs are not for me, I just don't want to spend that much more time in school right now. Very happy to be completing this program in one year, and getting to work thereafter. I will pursue grad school later if I desire. Time is just not my friend right now - but very happy nonetheless in my plan. But if you can afford to invest the time and determined you could be happy doing PA, by all means go for it! This should be my first weekend of significant packing. I expect to see some progress by Sunday night. Cross your fingers! The accelerated program always starts in June, so the next entering class is Summer 2012. The next deadline (assuming everything is the same) should be Nov. 1, 2011. Application is made available online in early Sept.

Congratulations! Thank you for being yet another success story living the spirit of this article!
