I must be honest. I'm starting a nursing program in the fall and I'm a little worried. Looking around all I hear is that the market is flooded. There are no jobs for new grads and in some cases, for...
That's good to hear. I wasn't going to change my major either way lol. Nevertheless, it is comforting to know there are jobs but it just takes persistence and
Well I'm very glad to hear that. Just a little hard to gather with all of the negativity on here. I also hear that it's not that no one is hiring, but more like new grads are just looking for the big...
I work right now but it's not as a nurse. My program starts in September. So I'm hoping, as you suggested, to use my enlisted experience to help me serve better. I'm also currently in the reserves as...
Thanks for the positive input. I'm gonna go talk to a recruiter in the near future and see how things turn out. My program lasts 2 & 1/4 years so I have plenty of time. Hopefully the timing works...
I know it is a bit early to start talking about fall 2012, but I couldn't help myself. I am sure that my fellow hopefuls feel somewhat the same. I know it's a ways away, however, I just wanted to know...
Not speaking from experience as I've just been accepted myself, but I've seen a few people on threads saying they were able to work while in nursing school. Also, we started a Facebook page for the...
I can only speak for California. But out here every nursing program is impacted and tough to get into. Out here some community colleges have wait lists that are pushing 3 years. However, the...
I haven't heard back from them yet either. I also noticed that anytime I send them something I never hear back. I am forced to send them a second email ensuring delivery of the first. A quick "got it"...
I live in Pittsburg off of railroad. I live right before the hill. So, I'm only like 10 mins from the campus. Excited to meet you also. I'll easily stand out as I'll be one of the few males
WaitingPatiently, with those numbers I can pretty much promise You that you are in. I went to an information session a while ago and people that get in usually are around a 3.7 GPA and like 85 or so...
Just so you guys know, the biggest difference between the Concord and Hayward campuses is that the Concord program is one quarter shorter. At the Concord campus the nursing program will have classes...
Indeed she did. Of course the numbers are estimates, but she said they recieve approximately 500-600 applications each year. I believe they select 130 from that number (65 for each campus). She also...
I went to an information advising session recently. The lady conducting the briefing was very kind. I can't wait to submit my application. Don't forget the university and supplemental nursing...
Don't give up hope. Waivers are always considered on a case by case basis. So it is not good advice to tell someone that they have a high chance for a waiver or vice versa. However waivers are often...
Had a quick question for prior enlisted folks going commissioned. I heard a rumor a while back that if you were enlisted at a certain base they would not allow you to return to that same base after...
I'm Air Force and am starting ROTC soon. I wouldn't say I am actually trying to avoid returning here (Travis AFB), but just wondering if it was actually true of what I heard. If I return here I will...
