  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. I got in on my first try. I only applied to one school. CSUDH MEPN program. I already have a bachelors and masters in another field, and my masters gpa was 3.8 and have As & Bs in my prereqs. I...
  4. 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...
  5. double
  6. Have you applied for the Fall 2010 cohort or is this for next
  7. 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...
  8. Thanks, Carolyn, that is great info to know! Glad to hear the instructor gives you opportunities to improve your scores! I was so hoping to have a break this summer before school starts in August, but...
  9. Oh, ok - thanks for letting me know about the website,
  10. I'm not sure as I will be taking the class this summer. However, I'm quite sure that they have access, but you may want to shoot ----- a quick email letting him know that you have finished the class...
  11. Congrats, Rachele!!! That means, you're in!! Yay!!! We all received the same letter from the University first, and just recently received our letters from the SON. I'm guessing you'll probably get the...
  12. Good luck everyone! For those of us who got in, we have to submit our letter of intent by today. So once they get the first group of those who will be attending and those who declined, then they'll...
  13. Hi to all of you who are new to the thread and have upcoming interviews. Best of luck! The interview isn't stressful! Mine was with JE and it was pretty straightforward and casual once I was...

    UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    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...
  15. Yeah, good luck you guys! Hope you get the skinny letter we received! LOL. I just enrolled in pathophsyiology for summer. Is it a lot of reading, assignments,
  16. 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,...
  17. 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...
  18. Has summer session been canceled for this
  19. 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...
  20. Yes, East Los Angeles Community College, Southwest and LA Trade Tech all offer Biology 20 - Human Anatomy and Physiology (8 units - 1 semester). And yes, schools will take them - they take seperate...
  21. Congrats Rachele818! Keep us posted! My timeline was pretty much the same as Kim's, so I'm sure you will hear something within the next several weeks, if not sooner! Do you have to take...
  22. 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??

    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....

    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....

    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...
