    CSUDH Entry MEPN Program - Fall 2010 Applicants

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Everyone! I agree with D848, hang in there. It seems like CSUDH has a very long process due to the number of workshops and scheduling interviews based on each workshop. My workshop was in Oct. My...

    Is it hard to find jobs for someone who went through Entry Level Masters Program?

    MiahMSN replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California Nursing

    I haven't heard that it's difficult. What is the "traditional route"? Because with an entry-levels masters, you still come out as an entry level RN first, you just have the additional master level...

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in California Nursing

    Gotcha. Well if you do get a phone interview, no need to worry about that writing sample that you were stressing over (and somewhat stressing us about). Oh, and I wasn't comparing my application...

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Teodora, As Kim stated, the writing sample is REALLY basic, and believe me, it will not be the determining factor. And if English is your second language, I'm sure this will be taken into...

    UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    MiahMSN replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Nursese can make over 100K a year. I'm in Los Angeles, many make around $40-45/hour and it's around $50/hour in the bay area. You add that with overtime - I know some who are bringing home $120k...

    combined Physiology/Anatomy classes in Los Angeles area?

    MiahMSN replied to Clueless01's topic in General Nursing

    True. That sucks. You can always try online courses, although most are offered thru schools that are out-of-state so you may be subject to out-of-state fees, which can cost a pretty penny. But first,...

    Is it okay to not like an aspect/feild of nursing?

    MiahMSN replied to leolomb's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I think it is definitely OK and quite normal. This is the exact reason why I couldn't do LTC nursing. I'm similar to you, I will be starting a MEPN program in August, but right now I'm getting my...

    What degree do i choose to get my RN? PLEASE HELP

    MiahMSN replied to NeedsInfo's topic in General Nursing

    All direct-entry programs do not offer NP role options. Most offer CNL (clinical nurse leader). OP, I would suggest a direct-entry MSN if you can find one that fits your career goals. It makes great...

    How did you afford to go to nursing school? (nursing ed. loan) I feel so overwhelmed.

    MiahMSN replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    You should look into Cal State Dominguez's MEPN program (2 year, accelerated direct entry, clinical nurse leader option). I will start in August. It's a little over $5200 year (plus $1800 for one...

    No work experience---RN vs MSN??

    MiahMSN replied to LillbrenLBC's topic in General Students

    I'm doing the same thing as Melmarie23. I'll start a direct-entry MSN program in August (2 years, accelerated, clinical nurse leader role). It just didn't make sense to me personally to go for an ADN...

    Need some advice concerning nursing school....

    MiahMSN replied to Icemand18's topic in General Nursing

    Well since the lab is on campus, that shouldn't be a problem. Most schools don't have a problem with lectures online. It's the labs that they have issue with and they want to make sure that if labs...

    Need some advice concerning nursing school....

    MiahMSN replied to Icemand18's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I can respond, as I've taken several sciences online. The tests are typically online and timed - some courses request that you have a proctor (i.e. library, testing center, etc.) where your...
