Thanks akulahawk! I understood that it was protecting the person who gives the instructions, I was more just stumped by the fact that it sounded like RNs can act as Medical Control; I didn't think they could. I'm a new grad and I've been wondering ho...

Looks like akulahawk and I were doing the same research this afternoon. Here is a link I found explaining the Van Horn v. Watson case and the aftermath of that case (CA Assembly Bill 83)- http://knowledgebase.findlaw.com/kb/2009/Oct/32614.html Here ...

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 commitment before the 2 years is up, you owe the hospita...

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 interview she said by the end of July. Since I already k...

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 going to be my major. By the end of my freshman year, ...

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 told you guys, that you can wear them at clinicals...

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 afternoon, but when you are actually on the unit taking...

oh you can wear a white long sleeve shirt underneath, don't worry :)

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 and so are the options we have for our nursing educa...

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 WebAdvisor. They put me on hold twice, but didn't fi...

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 you'll get it soon. you'll have enough time between n...

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 will cover roughly half of the tuition, but I don'...

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 confused as you are. Interviewers may have been getti...

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 Figueroa, a few blocks away from USC. the area is not s...

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 on each email. I think I got the 2nd email. I have...

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 started and completed the course all in the month of Ap...

Actually, the Bioethics course at Taylor University is available again, they got a new professor. Myself and a few other classmates starting in May are taking the course right now. We have to finish it before we start school. So, if you're interested...

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 might be able to give you an idea as to what's going ...

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 application need to be strengthened. I would think too th...

orientation? yikes, guess I better hold off on making any travel plans until we hear more about it!

Congrats betsyct!!!!!

My status changed today on WebAdvisor to ACCEPTED!!!! I even called to confirm and make sure that I was actually accepted since I haven't received anything in the mail yet. Sending out good vibes to everyone!

I was 16 when I had my tonsils out. I made a huge mistake of being stubborn and drank as little as possible because it hurt so much. My doctor (family friend) scolded me for not listening to her, as I was supposed to keep my throat as moist as possib...
