   LaurenLL replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

   Carolina, Just to clarify a common misconception and one that the OP herself seems to misunderstand, the "morning-after pill" or Plan B would not terminate a pregnancy if there already was one. It acts to prevent pregnancy in the first place. Therefo...

2. got yelled at today- for volunteering

   LaurenLL replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

   I'm surprised and confused by the responses. On the one hand, she is wrong for being so "tactless" and "up-front". On the other, she is also wrong for committing "fraud" or "misrepresenting" herself. It can't be both can it? I started volunteering at...

   LaurenLL replied to MLIS2MSN's topic in Post Graduate

   RosePetals, I was #3 on the waitlist and received word of acceptance on Tuesday via email. I believe that means you would be in the #1 spot. Good luck! And I agree with previous posters, Karena is very helpful but also very busy so she may not email ...

   Hey everyone - I called Karena today and she may have news for you :) I got a very good spot on the waitlist - I was so excited I didn't ask any questions and kept cutting her off. If anyone calls her today, please update on when she expects official...

   For those of you who didn't get early acceptance, anyone else going completely bonkers waiting? At my interview they seemed to indicate we could find out by the end of this week - I hope that's true! If anyone hears anything, let us know. :)

    Here's the site: http://sbcc.edu/prerequisitepolicy/challenging_prereqs.php Unofficial transcripts are fine. They took my Anatomy grade but I have a feeling either one would work. (And to your previous question - still waiting on ELMSN - any day now!...

    LaurenLL replied to BNice74's topic in California

    UCLover, a tip on registering at SBCC: Send them your transcripts in advance and confirm with them that you have met the prerequisites for Patho/Pharm (basic bio, physio, or anatomy work). I made that mistake and even though I had a good reg date it ...

    LaurenLL replied to BNice74's topic in California

    Based on their response time in the past hearing by May seems to be early! As for prereqs, I am in process with Patho (UCLA Extension) and Pharm (SBCC). When they sent me an email to confirm they received my application, they mentioned that I would ...

    UCLover, I also applied for the Fall 2010 San Francisco cohort. I sent it in last week and got an email within a few days saying they received it (which was surprisingly quick!). She also let me know that we will here about decisions "sometime in May...
