  12. Hey musictonurse Sounds from our user names that we might have a lot in common! I'm a musician, it's a huge lifelong passion for me, and one of the many things I love about the nursing profession is...
  13. Thanks vcib :-) I took Chem at SMC. GREAT school! I just turned up at an evening class and got on no problem. Have you enrolled online? If you haven't, do it now. The earlier you enroll, the earlier...
  14. Thanks Sandman/ Tokebi :-) I had found the Epi 100 link but according to student services that class is much harder than the nursing school option. I didn't realise that it was also called Nursing 50,...
  15. P.S. i managed to find a schedule for the evening Epi 100 classes, but not for the nursing school daytime Epi classes. Anyone know the schedule for the nursing school Epi daytime classes?

  20. Hey ViajeraNP In the interests of full disclosure, let me first say that I am on the waiting list for UCLA!!!! But I think another consideration is that a lot of graduates I have spoken to have ended...
  21. 60 people were offered places. If you haven't heard, you still might be on the waitlist. I think some people got e-mails that they were waitlisted only because they e-mailed UCLA to find out (like...
  22. I got my waitlist letter in the mail today. I think they mailed everything yesterday, so when you receive it might depend on where you live. I live literally down the road from the campus! Good
  23. Congratulations Sandman! What a fantastic position to be in. You must have worked very hard, so seriously, congratulations
  24. Is anyone out there declining an offer or a position on the waitlist? Just curious to see if I had ANY glimmer of hope of getting
