OP,You must be at County! I just graduated in December. While the clinical program IS difficult to manage, it teaches you time management, prioritization and how to be a floor nurse. County grads are loved at hospitals because not only do we pass ncl...

Mugalex - So bummed to hear that you won't be with us this semester, but very glad that they are re-reviewing you for the fall. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!!! Good luck! Xairamx - which clinical site will you be at? USC or Olive View? ...

Hey Mugalex... Did you get a chance to call? Anything? Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hoping to see you in a week... or next semester if needed.

Mugalex - have you heard anything?! I'm really hoping for good news from you!

Hi Iliana, I think it depends on how many people are in the "borderline" section. They had over 400 applicants with 190 that were qualified. They were only accept a total of 50 people (40 at County & 10 at Olive View). I'm not sure how many of...

Stay positive! I was at today's orientation. A couple of people were accepted at another college as well and were still trying to decide. Some due to financial aid differences between county and the other school. Plus there was one or two that weren'...

Hey Joanna, Any word on if you are accepted? I just got my letter over the weekend. Hoping to meet you at orientation!! ~Blue

Have either of you called and just asked if anything was mailed to you or if you got in? With Ace getting his letter, maybe it's worth a shot to just ask. I called today to get parking info and Erica was really nice to double check the info for me. ...

For those in the "first round" of acceptance letters, we had to notify them by today if we were going to register for classes. That means that by today, they will know if they have any extra spots open up. Iliana - give them a call again. It can't...

Woohoo!!! I'm in! I will be doing clinical at Olive View. Hope to see you all in January. :-D

Hi Iliana - Lots of hugs here!!! Call the school office and ask which ones are "approved" for you to take. You might even attend another info session and ask the question there (that's where I got the info). The dean and office staff are both ver...

Hi Iliana, Thank you for the update. So sorry that it's slightly above your points. Don't despair though. Often times they will lower the cut off closer to the start date as others decline the acceptance to attend a different school. It happens ...

I went cold turkey almost 2 months ago and have very little temptation. I started by cutting out the sodas and drinking regular Snapple tea (with sugar instead of sweetener). More than likely it's the aspartame causing your withdrawal symptoms (it ...

Hi Iliana - Congrats on you pre-entrance results! I knew you were good to go! Maybe it's a good sign that Maria called to ask for your HS transcript. I would take it as a good sign. Anyone else get theirs yet? My mailbox had only junk last night,...

I got so excited that I forgot to congratulate you!!! Congrats Lalollys!!! Hope to see you in January! Which clinical site did you get? I'll either go to LA or to Olive View. Won't know until I get my letter (positive thinking!).

Lalollys - Really?! Your letter arrived already?! Ugh - I'm at work!!! I'm going to rush home asap to get my mail. Hope it's in there!!!!

Hoping I get my letter by Thursday! So much to get done! Landesmummy- do you know the cutoff? If so, are you able to say? Good luck everyone!

Ok ladies! Sounds like County was working on finishing letters today or Monday. I heard that we should start watching mailboxes towards the end of next week. Good luck!!!

I also purchased a bookstand. For my note-taking, I invested in an inexpensive clipboard that I can place at almost any angle (often in my lap or on the table). This helped with the space issue on my table as well as allowed me to prop the clipboar...

LOL... I'm right there with you Mugalex - on ALL counts! Yes, technically speaking, they should be sending out letters starting tomorrow. However, I have a feeling that they are going out late. I heard that the girl that handles these was out the ...

Ili - I haven't even started looking for student loans yet. I'm worried that I won't be able to get federal because I've made decent money this year. Hopefully I can get the money from the loans in time to pay bills in Feb... If you can find out wh...

Don't worry. I'm sure you passed. Just think, in 3-4 weeks we'll know if we got in. I'm hoping I find out in time to announce the news when I visit friends in Texas before the holidays. It would also be nice to celebrate over the holidays with family...

Hi Iliana! Glad to hear I'm not the only one still stressing. As a heads up, my exam results arrive around 6 weeks after the test, so don't stress too much. I think I found out online when others received theirs and that's when I knew to check the ...

Hey ladies! I'm going crazy waiting! Most of my traveling landed in October, so now I just have to sit & wait. I do more traveling in December and am hoping my letter arrives the day I leave to visit a friend in the midwest. Maybe my school s...

I'm hoping to attend the same school starting January 2010. Thank you for your post - it really made my day today to see how tough, yet very rewarding NS will be for me. I hope to have some of the same great experiences you've had!!!
