So I am a CSUSMer that graduated in August '13 and I read the facebook page that my cohort used throughout the program and I see a lot of problems getting hired. To get in a new grad spot you NEED to either be working at the facility currently in ano...

Sorry, I'm in the ABSN, just finishing. I don't know what the generic schedules are like. The units will be all over the place with about 6-10 lecture hours and a similar clinical hours. the lecture is usually all one day and the clinicals are all o...

Finishing this program in one week. It had been fun at times and at others complete misery. After psych I jokingly created the disorder SAD, school affective disorder. You will probably feel like dropping out every semester. It is not because it ...

just found this old post and I need to disagree with your statement about the whining clients. Being interested in physical education and nutrition myself, I think that working with the whiner is actually more valuable by means of health promotion. O...

I'm in fundamentals and health assessment so we are at the SNF and my school wants the students to go to the SNF the day before our clinical days to pick a patient and do a write up. Is this the way you have done it? There won't be an instructor or a...

@malzi, no guarantee on getting SM in the spring because of their random assignment. Keep that in mind. Temecula isn't bad, the equipement is fine but I don't know about a comparison with the SM campus because I've never been. The facility is actuall...

we have to fill out a patient map that has CC, Hx, Meds, pretty much all the subjective and objective data collected. Then we go back and actually do our assessment the following day. then we do a nursing care plan. I think that we should come earlie...

love carhartt. Their stuff rocks.

You could work a lot the first semester. so far it is only three days a week. 2nd semester is also 3 days but much longer hours as we jump from 9 units to 14 or something.

I would suppose that fall is more competitive but the have hundreds/ thousands of applications rolling at all times. What the advisors say is that they offer the top 10 percentile and the next 10th and so on (not actual numbers but something like tha...

we are only in class 2-3 days a week, for 3 hours a day. Bad news with the san marcos campus... you are not guaranteed to get it. I applied for cohort 9 or 8-9 because there are two cohorts and I got temecula instead of SM and there is little you ca...

and there are a bunch of people that are figuring it out as they go along. so just worry about getting in, then worry about money.

@amyca, that is pretty close, 43k is high though. the low end tuition, suplies and fees is 33-34k but the high end is maybe 35-36. The requirements are well laid out and planned for. the major difference is in weither you pay full price for books and...

You can work pretty heavily the first semester as there are only 9 units and the classes are easy. I haven't started clinicals but everyone seems to say that the hours on that are all over the place so working would be tough. You should qualify for 1...

It's alright. Be sure to do your fafsa before march because they are so behind that the semester has already started, we all have fee deferments until the 26th (sept) but you cannot do things until you are officially enrolled in the school. The first...

This was the most important part. If the new position is permanent and you don't take you would be a fool! don't up your lifestyle with the pay increase either. "pay" yourself the same take home and pay off debt with the raise money, if you are debt ...

I took the teas 4, maybe you took the 5? but my score is well over a year old. I only took it the one time because I wanted to see what it was like and did well enough to not want to take it again. I was surprised that a 90 score ranked so high. I ca...

I have a 37 with a 3.6ish gpa in prenursing core and last 60. my tas was a 90.2. The advisors recommend high teas scores but my teas score is 99th percentile nationally which would mean that to gain the 5 possible points would be statistically extrem...

The classes looked like they were in temecula according to the extended learning calendar last semester. What email did you get? Could you PM me a copy because I have had email issues and haven't received any new ones?

Also, keep in mind that the estimate provided by the school is only for 9 months so your expenses will at least be 33% more than what they are suggesting. But the cost for living look pretty accurate when adjusted for a full year. I don't remember wh...

I totalled everything that they have on the fee schedule and for the 6 semesters, units, books and fees it should cost 35,000 (about). That assumes the 750 for books every semester which you might be able to save money on. But the high cost of the un...

What's the background check cost? 100 dollars at the most? Cost of doing business. Just remember what you are talking about when you use the word ethics. Ethics is usually used synonymously with moral but you have to be careful. Ethical decisions cou...

I had trouble withthe system when I paid the 50 dollar application fee, when I paid AMEX. This time I had no problem though. I'm sorry that I can't remember what I did. I think I ended up doing an instant check. I think you have to make sure everythi...

[quote= BTW when did ------ mention that the they're getting pressure to be like the generic BSN? At the last info session I went to in april, I think. ------ mentioned it in passing, saying that they were trying to keep the requirements the way they...

djx, Where did see the new requirements. I only heard of them but had no confirmation of a timeline or what would be added. Just curious. Also, "magic cohort 10" does sound awesome.
