  1. Cedars-Sinai RN New Grad 2011

    kkinla replied to RN671's topic in California Nursing

    Does anyone know if Cedars requires you to sign a commitment with them? At some hospitals (ex. CHLA), if you are hired as a new grad, you have to sign a 2-year commitment, and if you break that...

    Hi BNice :) I've been creeping on here too. I called HR the week before open house to clarify when we have to have our license by, because the email I received said by July 1st, but in my phone...

  3. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    kkinla replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    My story is similar- always wanted to be a doctor (my dad was a family practice md) for as long as I can remember. Loved biology in junior high and high school, went into college knowing that was...

    yes, anything underneath needs to be white (although ladies, white bras and underwear will totally show through, so nude-colored undergarments may be the best way to go :)

    i'm 99% sure it's not up to the hospitals, it's up to the clinical instructors/mount saint mary's, as it is up to them to decide what our "uniform" is. The uniform people told us the same stuff they...

    you can't wear the white sweatshirts either. you can't wear anything over the uniform (you can wear whatever you want over the uniform when you get there in the morning and when you leave in the...

    kkinla replied to BNice74's topic in California Nursing

    I should preface this by saying that I am currently in the ABSN program at MSMC, so my opinion is unavoidably biased. Honestly, there is no perfect nursing program out there. Everyone is different...

    Yeah, you definitely want to keep copies of everything. the administration can be super super disorganized. I called in April because a transcript I had sent in January still hadn't showed up on my...

    Make sure your BLS CPR class is through the American Heart Association (AHA) or else it won't count! All of this kind of info is in the packet that you'll receive after you submit your deposit, so...

    Kobe- The program costs approx. 50k. The school does not offer merit scholarships for the program. Most people take out loans for the program. A few hospitals offer loan repayment programs where they...

    kkinla replied to BNice74's topic in California Nursing

    Honestly, the administration at the school is really disorganized, so it's not surprising that you're hearing different things. It wouldn't surprise me if the person who interviewed you is just as...

    your interviews will definitely be at the doheny campus. the ABSN program has little connection to the Chalon campus. All of your classes will be at doheny, which is near the corner of Adams and...

    calm down guys, they normally send more than 1 email out with interview invitations. I am almost positive I didn't get emailed in the first interview email, I think they had only about 20 names or so...

    kkinla replied to BNice74's topic in California Nursing

    I think it can be done in 2 months, as long as you don't have too much else going on (like a full time job or something along those lines in terms of time consumption). I know of one student who...

    Have you tried calling the admissions office? I called them when my status changed to accepted just to make sure it meant what I thought it did, as I hadn't received a letter in the mail yet. They...

    I don't know if it's necessary per se, but I would guess that it's probably helpful. From what I understand from those who have had reactivation meetings, you can find out what aspects of your...

    I live in Pasadena, so maybe I'll get it tomorrow? I'm trying not to worry too too much about it, trying to convince myself that whatever happens is the way it's meant to be. If it takes me 2 years to...
