Great! I am thinking of heading out to look at places at the end of April/early May. Thinking of staying in the inner sunset area/lower haight but open to looking at other areas also that are close to the UCSF shuttle line! Are you both on FB and hav...

Hi all - has anyone received any information from UCSF outside of the financial aid one page sheet? I'm just wondering about physical requirements (immunizations, etc). Also, is anyone looking for housing? I'm on the east coast and not sure when I s...

Thank you magallanes! Hopefully they get back to us soon...

Hi everyone, I'm also in for the CNM/WHNP specialty. Congratulations to those of you who were accepted this year, and for those of you who didn't get in this time around, don't give up hope! I applied last year, and didn't get an interview, but used ...

Thank you for your response! I am just trying to get it DONE you like you said :) so ultimately I think taking it in the summer might be the way to go! Thanks again for the info!

Hello all! I'm taking microbiology at City Tech this summer. Has anyone taking Microbiology previously during the summer session? It is so short! I'm concerned about not being able to retain the information in such a short period of time...any inform...

East Coast letters have arrived (at least in the NYC area), and sadly it was a rejection letter for me. While I'm disappointed, I'm not too surprised given the caliber of many of the applicants and I'll definitely use this year to boost my applicatio...

Congratulations to all who have been invited to interview! My heart is with those who were not invited to interview this year...I haven't received a letter yet (I'm on the east coast), but I'm definitely nervous and trying to stay optimistic in spite...

Thank you! Yeah, there was a separate side bar which also mentioned the resume, but I was wondering if it was geared more towards the PhD candidates thank you!

Hi everyone! Quick question...I know I read online in the instructions that they would be asking for a copy of our resume or CV, but I can't find anywhere in the application where you can upload such a document. I'm assuming that statement was incorr...

Thanks for the info! I assume the due date is still 9/1 or are they extending the deadline?

Ahhh I've been checking every day! I hope it opens Tuesday I can't wait to get started! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Hi Astrelle! I'm also planning on applying to UCSF for the 2011 program. I'm studying for the GRE as well (ugh) and wrapping up A&P2. I'm planning on applying to the WHNP/CNM program. I've been working in the financial industry, but have been tak...

Thank you for your post. I haven't started the application process yet, but some of the issues you included in your post are what concern me about applying to direct entry masters programs. I wondered why the GEPN program was being discontinued, and ...

Here is a link to University of San Francisco's BSN for 2nd degree - http://web.usfca.edu/nursing/bsn_2nd/. They really don't give much information on the program. For 2nd degree students, do you know if the program starts in the 3rd semester of Soph...

Hello! I've been lurking around on this site for a while now, and this site has been a fantastic source of information for me as I work t through the many steps to applying to a GEPN program. I am still unsure as to what area of nursing I would ...

To my knowledge (although I can't say for certain since I haven't received a transcript yet), there is no distinction between online/in person classes when you get a transcript. And I completely agree re: NYU! That being said, I believe it is a bit...

Hello! I actually registered quite late (I think probably 5 days before classes began), and there were still a number of open spaces in the class. I just took a look at the online course catalog, and it appears that 5 A&P1 classes were offered in...

I have to say I am also puzzled by the variance in required pre-requisite courses for both ABSN and Direct Entry MSN programs. It is kind of frustrating how there is no uniformity across the boards on pre-reqs . My priorities lie with finishing A&...

Hello! Here is the link: http://sln.suny.edu/index.html I'm taking A&P 1 online through Cayuga Community College. Cayuga classes start on Monday the 31st, but there might be other schools that start later. Usually, you need to register prior to t...

Thank you, Stacy! I'm going to try for next Spring. In the meantime, I signed up for an online A&P1 class through SUNY's online learning network. I was a bit nervous about not getting into a class that works with my current work schedule, so I fi...

Thank you! Yes, I wish I had thought of trying to register for the fall sooner. The only reason I'm thinking of taking a class as a non-matriculated student is to just get started on the pre-reqs. I hate to think about waiting another semester to sta...

I am not a nurse (yet :nuke:) but I am a rape crisis counselor. I have worked with both male and female SANEs in the ED. While you can never predict how a survivor will respond in the wake of such a traumatic event, in the case of a female survivor h...
