RNinSF

I currently have a BSN (three years experience) with a BA in business management (15+ years experience) and am now researching a job in the clinical trials arena. From what I've seen, CRC is a good place to start. Since I have plenty of business background with three years of bedside (1 med/surge, 2 ED), I'm wondering if a certificate program would bolster my application or if I should just start applying for CRC positions.. I live the SF bay area and feel that this area is rich in research... Thanks!

I hear that this cohort starts mid-March. Good news- less wait! Good luck..

Me too! I still feel like it's surreal.. Are you on facebook? there's a group created for this cohort.. Welcome and congratulations!

Website indicates GPA, but says nothing about individual class requirement. However I'd strive for that B..

Sorry to hear- SBCC was the opposite, almost TOO easy..

Aldeur- where are you taking patho? I took it at SBCC- I could help you..

i know the feeling- i'm scheduled to take o-chem and crit thinking this fall for CSUEB, but I'd rather have the time off knowing I'm in..

Any news/updates?

you have to wait until people drop from the accepted list. if you're on the waitlist, i'll assume you'll have to wait until the day school starts for your chances..

JB- friended you on FB, let's chat..

the "predicting of outcomes" killed me on the net. i updated my app with two letters from local hospital (150 hrs of volunteer) and completed previous degree. we'll see what happens. i'm thinking of taking the TEAS to up my score.

JB, what are your stats? thanks..

Update for me: i did get the "welcome to reapply.." letter, so i'm hoping for San Mateo, and I did hear that it is less competitive. GPA: 60 unit; 3.50 Prereqs; 4.0 NET: 87% composite (100 math, 73 reading), 96% percentile. science 67% (ouch!)). I'm taking med term and med dosage this summer and then O-chem in the fall which will replace my 2 C's from TEN years ago which will jump my 60 unit GPA to 3.75 (considering i'll get an A which i should).

i'll post when i hear more on tues.. in the mean time, try to have a fabulous 4th of July..!

Could be another cohort. I just spoke to the admin person, she said to call back Tues morning to find out about the wait list. Also my email from them said that i passed the first hurdle (200 apps to 140) for 48 seats. I'm going to find out what the process is for applying to the Sacramento and San Mateo cohorts..
