    Emilynn09 replied to Flavs's topic in Oncology

    I've been working on an oncology floor for about three months now, and it can be very busy like you would expect on a med/surg floor and you also get to use a variety of skills, you don't really...

  2. How to pick an online BSN program??

    Emilynn09 replied to 2RNornot2RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Have you considered Chamberlain? They are both Regionally and CCNE accredited, it takes 9 months and there are no clinicals. I've also heard good things about WGU as well, they are a public non-profit...

  3. HELP LPN to RN ONLINE only

    Emilynn09 replied to hemillek's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have heard to be weary about excelsior because not all states recognize them as a valid RN education. I would do A LOT of research before considering excelsior, and make sure that you have no plans...

    Emilynn09 replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

    Oh yes, they are a bit more selective with the RN program than with any of the other programs at the school. It's much easier to get into the LVN, MA, or whatever else... most anyone is accepted to...

  5. Kaplan college in San Diego RN program

    Emilynn09 replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

    They accept 60 students each term and get about 200 applicants, only 5 are made to be alternates. I graduated with a girl who had to apply twice. If you don't get chosen at the time you apply, you...

    Emilynn09 replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

  7. West Coast University--What are the chances of getting hired?

    Emilynn09 replied to tucaymarissa's topic in California Nursing

    I graduated from Kaplan College, and I was hired before I passed my boards here in CA. The most important thing you want to look for at the school you choose is the accreditation, and whether or not...

  8. Fastest & affordable way to Los Angeles RN

    Emilynn09 replied to logoseternal's topic in California Nursing

    Emilynn09 replied to canuck1019's topic in California Nursing

  10. Is it worth becoming an LVN/LPN now in day??? Los Angeles Area L.A

    Emilynn09 replied to Freddy13's topic in California Nursing

    if you are willing to spend $30k on an education, why not consider going the rn route through a university or a junior college? even at the jc level, to get through an lvn program would be much more...

  11. LOW GPA, chances of getting a job

    Emilynn09 replied to Bella2004's topic in California Nursing

    I never had anyone ask me for my GPA when applying or interviewing for jobs, no one even asked for transcripts. I was hired no problems. I do have a high GPA from school above a 3.5, but no one asked...

    Emilynn09 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Emilynn09 replied to rngilchrist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    correct me if i am wrong, but i thought that ccne only did accrediting of bsn/ msn programs and not asn programs? i could be wrong, but this was just my understanding. the nlnac i think does do adn,...

  15. Kaplan college in San Diego RN program

    Emilynn09 replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

    I'm a Kaplan graduate- don't do the PCAT. It's a waste of $20k or whatever they charge. You are better off doing a CNA course and starting to work, you can do a CNA course at a community college and...

    Emilynn09 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hello, I am currently trying to decide between attending Chamberlain College and the Cal State University here near me for my RN to BSN program. I've looked into the accreditation of both; regional...

  19. Kaplan college in San Diego RN program

    Emilynn09 replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

    I'm a recent graduate. I really enjoyed the program. I know previously this school had a bad rep when it was Maric, but it really has turned around since it's been known as Kaplan. They do a great job...

    Emilynn09 replied to CDMZG's topic in General Students

    It depends what kind of learner you are. Are you self motivated and ok with less structure? If so, online might be a good idea. IMO online classes are more difficult because you need to be a more...

    Emilynn09 replied to davidgallant's topic in General Students

    I would suggest re-taking your core pre-req classes to raise your GPA. Ask yourself, how badly do you want to be a nurse? Because with a 2.6 or whatever it is, that's just not competitive enough to be...
