   vicb replied to MiracleRN21's topic in California

   Congratulations on getting hired! I am graduating in June and am really interested in Huntington Hospital. How did the hiring process work there and when did you apply? Also, did you both rotate through Huntington while you were in school? Thanks for...

3. It's near impossible to get into pre-reqs at CCs here in SoCal

   vicb replied to pennyep's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I struggled with the exact same issue! I suggest applying to multiple ccs (LA Trade Tech, LACC, PCC, Santa Monica College....) I ended up taking Anatomy through UCLA extension. It's more expensive than going through a cc, but I was able to get in rig...

   Thanks Sandman and Musicgal for your advice and encouragement. I enrolled at SMC and will be able to register for classes next month. Sounds like from your experiences, it won't be a problem. Looking forward to meeting you both in Nursing 50!

7. Any Good Books to Read Before Nursing School?

   vicb replied to fadedstars34's topic in General Students

   I am about to start reading The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman. It came highly recommended by another nursing student... I was told that it's non-fiction and reads like a page-turner novel. It also raises a lot of ethical ques...

   Hi Sandman, I will be taking Epi at UCLA this summer. Both Epi 100 and Nursing 50 count. From what I understand, Epi 100 can be taken online or in class. A current MECN student told me that 80% of your grade is based on the final exam, which would a...

    vicb replied to Amy2020's topic in California

    I'm planning on working part time, at least through December. Once clinicals start it might be too much, but I'm hoping that it's doable. Is anyone taking Epi at UCLA this summer? I'll probably end up taking Nursing 50 (instead of Epi 100) in the fir...

    Thanks SRL! The locations actually really work well for me. One last question for you.... Do I need to apply to each of their nine schools (just in case)?

    Thanks to everyone for your feedback on chemistry classes. I'm starting to get nervous that I won't be able to get into a class over the summer! I'll definitely look into the LA community colleges. Was the LATT class hard to get into? NSFA, do you re...

    Hi SRL- UCLA asked to be notified by April 16th. They do offer an Epidemiology class over the summer for students starting the MECN program in the fall. They haven't told us the days/times of the class yet, but hopefully we'll know soon. Does anyone ...

    Wow, congrats Sandman, that's wonderful news. What a great "problem" to have! I am planning on going to UCLA. It sounds like some people are on the fence, so hopefully those on the wait list will also get in. Good luck to those who are wait listed an...
