I agree. Charles Drew is a reputable school, their nursing program just happens to be new and we have yet to see graduates from their MELN program.

Congrats moonshadow! If you don't mind me asking, what was your teas score? and do they tell you what grade you got for your essay? How much was your total score out of a 100? I am applying for Feb deadline and still have to take one class this Oct.

Thanks! Yeah, I hate online classes too. I've only taken one online class before and got an A but I felt like I didn't really learn a lot coming out of it. My other issue is that the clinical locations seems to be far from the actual location of t...

Thank you for sharing that, I am not working so I am fine with a schedule like that. It would actually work out great for me. I guess I will just have to hire a nanny if I get an off schedule or something every month because I don't think any daycare...

So let me take the line "stay away from compton" back if the context of this sentence does not meet your standards. I apologize if I lacked to sugar coat it. Here goes, "If you have no other choice of any other nursing program but Compton, then go a...

Quinenes, it's Concordia University Irvine. tothepointLVN, I do agree that if one has no other option but to go to Compton community college then of course you just take what you can get. I am just saying for those who have a choice to go to a bett...

And did you not say "Where you go to school DOES matter?" you replied that to someone else and now you are contradicting yourself.

This is what the forum is for, to learn from other people's experience and also hope someone else can learn from mine. I am not here to scare people off, if I sound like that then that's your opinion. I wished I had been in this forum before I deci...

So I did not check their latest NCLEX rate, I guess that's something to brag about after all they did go up, right? For your info, I dropped out of the program because I do want to be a nurse, and a good one! I was called into acceptance to an MELN ...

First of all, I also went to El Camino Torrance campus before I went to Compton and know by experience that the Compton center is nothing close to El Camino. They have their own Director and administration riding under ECC's name because they need ...

Stay away from Compton. It does not matter whether they have no waiting list on their nursing program. There is a reason why there isn't a wait. You might get in but you might not get out of the program. The teachers are so unprofessional and the...

Of course if the shorter program accepts me, I would do it at the drop of a hat!:) A lot of people seem to want to do it faster that's why I feel like my chances are slim. There is also that MELN program that just opened in Charles Drew...

I know, but it works out better for me because I heard the 12 month program is really fast paced and that would be more stressful for me since I have a two year old to take care of at the same time. I would hate to be away from her every day of the ...

Oh also, I wanted to know if they calculated GPA for all prereqs including oral communication, socio and psych? I saw on the website that they ask GPA from last 60 hours of coursework completed, I didn't quite understand what that means. Do they eve...

I have to take the Biomed Stat, do you know how many times that class meets in a week? I am a little nervous about taking that class and not getting an A. I only have a 3.3 GPA on my science classes and the stat class would pretty much make a big di...

Yes they do not have it posted on their website but I counted all the nursing core courses and they have 22 courses total. They have one class per month so the length of the program is 22 months. I only confirmed this info through previous students...

Thanks NU2010! I am planning to take the class in the LA campus because I don't do well with online classes. Can anyone tell me how the schedule for this class is like? Is there a night schedule for this? I might be taking it end of September and I...

So I called the nursing department at NU-LA today hoping to get some info regarding applications before I attend the orientation on Sept. 18. He wasn't the friendliest, I was a bit surprised by that. He almost refuses to give me details because he ...

lol. you are funny but I hear you girl. I took both basic pharma and advanced pharma already and it was such a pain to read the book. I esp. had trouble with my advanced pharma class because we were not allowed to look up our Davi's drug book for t...

Hi, thanks to Expharmagirl giving me this link! I found all the answers to my questions! it took a while to read but I got the link for cc transfer classes for my prereqs were listed and I am so happy to find out that all my classes transfer! I am as...

Thanks expharmagirl. good luck with your pharma test! you don't have to keep answering my questions if you are busy. I am hoping someone can answer this. I have A&P-4 units, Physio - 4 units, Microbio - 5 units taken from cc. Do you know if th...

Thank you. I do understand the stress involved. I was in a nursing program in a cc up until last March, I had to do a stop out because I got sick and when I tried to get back in, there was a huge waitlist even for returning students. I think I am ...

Hi thanks for the fast response to my questions! Was it difficult to get in the program? do you think I have to retake my English, Psych and Socio classes since it was taken 10 years ago from my BS? I was going to apply to Concordia but the 12 month ...

So it looks like I have to take Bio stat at NU-LA, does anyone know how long this class takes? and how many A&P classes do they need exactly? I have 4 units Anatomy, 4 units Physio and 5 units microbio taken from cc, will that e enough to cover t...

Hi. I wanted to know if NU accepts prerequisite classes taken from a community college? also, can I take the Bio stat class at NU? Is the 22 month program including prereqs or those are just only for the nursing core classes? I also wanted to know i...
