Im a new grad, out of ADN for a year, and within 2 days of my application in WY I was called directly. Had a phone interview and it went well so my webcam interview will be soon. This is really surprising bc it has been extremely difficult in San Diego where I live to even get a email response from healthcare companies.

I am an ADN new grad in San Diego (grad 12/2012), and recently applied for 6 or so jobs with Banner Health, which has 3 hospitals in WY. Within 2 days of my online application I was called directly, and just had a phone interview for a new grad position in WY. The fact that WY is rural means that RNs need to cross-train and be skilled at ED, OB/Post Partum, etc but it seems like a great opportunity for a new grad. In California I have found that Urgent Care RN postings require direct ED experience (1-3 yrs). How has the job search been going for you since September?

re: FEAR IS MOTIVATION. rizzy81, it can be a bit more difficult than in the past, simply because admission priority is on a point system. The better the grades, and other criteria, the better a chance you have. take an alternate position if they offer it. I do wonder sometimes how this can be only an associate's program, but all the energy/education you put into it will only make you a better nurse. I dislike what bella said, an emotional opinion only slightly derived from fact. Act professional, be prepared and you will succeed. It is a good program with instructors that are experts in their field, overwhelmingly nice facilities, and helpful staff. Once in the program, you control your destiny, noone else.

nic, el cajon/east county is not the greatest place to live, it's kind of trashy (moved here in feb). but areas right around campus (san carlos, fletcher hills, del cerro) are nice, but they're mostly homes and expensive apt complexes. Transportation to campus is pretty much car only, they have 2 buses but it would take forever, and the trolley doesn't go straight to campus.

From what I understand, a majority of the RN-MSN programs integrate the BSN into the program. When you matriculate, you will complete your BSN courses, then go into the MSN coursework, graduating with both a BSN and MSN. Im unsure of the requirements to teach, besides having a MSN

jens2010: Same with me, o well, I'm on plan D already....... I'm smart, but it doesn't necessarily translate on paper. Good luck with everything

i wonder if anyone has heard back from them for the next spring and fall 2011 cohort. now that it's october, i'm antsy to find out. is the notification through email, or postal mail? the website is slightly ambiguous, as i am not on the waitlist.: [color=#333333]effective march 01, 2009 all correspondence between the school of nursing and applicants on our waitlist will be conducted through email only. applicants will not receive letters through the postal service any longer.

For me, I receive periodic emails from Orbis about them trying to get into Cali, as well as Marian and the one in Vegas. Marian does not accept course forgiveness which counted me out.... But I've really moved on from the whole situation.

Still thinking about this school, another site had a review and to sum it up, USN got 1 of 10 stars... is it nationally accredited? on its site it only mentioned nevada state board of nursing

hi everyone, I was just introduced to this program today, because the SDSU program was cancelled in San Diego. So it seems that this program is also brand new, would October be the first cohort? It seems the cost of living is cheaper in LV than SD, but does anyone have advice for me regarding this program?

HI SUZYWOO, On the other thread I think someone said there was the possibility that this program may be up for approval for a January cohort. Have you heard anything like this?

i like Davis, but I grew up in Vacaville my whole childhood. Great place to raise kids, has outlets. It is a lil bit of a commute, but worth it if you have a family you want to raise in a quiet, safe town
