  1. Newbie here looking for guidance!

    Maseca replied to LaurenceM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard several people complain about the overcrowded classes and difficulty in enrolling in prerequisite classes in community colleges, but that has not been my experience at all. I started taking...

  2. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I labeled them as lower division. It was pretty confusing, especially for people who didn't just go to 4 years of college straight out of high school. I'm glad Western just looks at your last 60...

  3. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The NursingCAS application is really time consuming, mainly due to having to enter all your coursework manually. Luckily I had nothing but conference calls all day at work so I was able to...

  4. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, it's official... my application is submitted! Now I just get to make sure all my transcripts are received and then wait. And wait. And wait. It's going to be a long fall.

  5. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've been to Preview Day and one of the information sessions. After that, I really couldn't imagine myself anywhere else but Western. It's such an amazing

  6. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, the application window is open from 8/15-10/3. What track are you interested in? I have my sights on the FNP

  7. Getting into direct-entry MSN schools with low undergrad GPA

    Maseca replied to Gobbstopper's topic in Post Graduate Students

    First I wanted to tell you that you're by no means alone. There are many people, me included, who have those "lost years" to overcome. In answer to your question, it really depends on the program....

  10. Am I competitive enough for an EL-MSN program

    Maseca replied to BeesMama's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There you go! You should definitely plan on attending any information sessions that the schools you're interested have. I got so much out of the info meeting for Western, I feel like it really...

  11. Am I competitive enough for an EL-MSN program

    Maseca replied to BeesMama's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think they'd look down on that at all, as long as you're taking classes that could be applicable. For example, I need to take a few classes between now and when I would start grad school so...

  12. Am I competitive enough for an EL-MSN program

    Maseca replied to BeesMama's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I definitely know how hard it is to manage school and family. I've been working on my BS in Public Health, my prerequisites for an MSN-E program and working full-time. It's been more than two long...

  13. Has anyone in a MEPN or similarly-named program had a hard time finding a job?

    Maseca replied to iridium54's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It is my understanding in researching several direct entry programs, that you do not reach the NP level without having some experience as an RN. For example, at Western U, your first 16 months is...

  14. Am I competitive enough for an EL-MSN program

    Maseca replied to BeesMama's topic in Post Graduate Students

    BeesMama, I think the best thing you can do is to read through some of the threads here for previous classes and try to see what people who have been accepted into programs had as their academic...

  15. EL-MSN Program

    Maseca replied to BeesMama's topic in Post Graduate Students

    BeesMama, If you haven't already, I highly recommend that you attend one of Western's Preview Days or Info Sessions. I went back in February, and am going to the next Preview Day on May 7th. They...

  16. Online statistics course?

    Maseca replied to Birdwatcher1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I took Statistics through the UCLA extension. No proctored tests, entirely online (although there are ways that online exams can be proctored). It was a tough class, but definitely doable if you're...

    Maseca posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

  18. Comparing MSN-Entry Programs - Need CSULA Info

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    @ Summerslippers, I'm applying to schools in the next cycle, but I've decided to just apply to UCLA and Western. I do not like the fact that CSULA does not guarantee you the track that you want, and...

    Maseca replied to dche3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was just at the info session at Western last night, and the question about the switch to DNP came up. One of the professors who was leading the discussion (who is also part of the admissions...

  22. Why do people rent text books?

    Maseca replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't understand why people sell books back to their college bookstore. I always buy used on half.com, and when the term is over, I sell the same book again on half.com almost always for the same...
