Yay!!!! Congrats! Excited to meet you and everyone else!

did anybody get a job offer for the ED??? would love to meet/talk to some of my future coworkers... :)

@julieg902, I got invited to the interview for 4pm, but I never received a phone interview or 5 references as well. Weird...

I think it just means that the position is no longer active as in it's not accepting applications anymore. Just a guess though

Thanks for the information flee43! I was wondering if it was going to affect our application but I'm glad it's not. :)

I too applied last night around 1am pacific time and didn't get a survey

sorry but what is it with you and NCLEX pass rates? sure, it's an important factor but just because you pass the NCLEX doesn't mean you have a job. Like sugarlips mentioned, the statistics you keep referring to are not an accurate reflection of the p...

so hexum944, why did you apply to MSMC's ABSN program if you think they "veer off track" and "get prideful"? I sense someone is bitter about their rejection....?

I'm just saying the BSN pass rates doesn't reflect how ABSN students do since it's a mixture of the traditional 4 year program and the 1 year accelerated.

those statistics reflect both traditional and ABSN programs combined. that's not an accurate reflection of how ABSN students do on the nclex.

I think another one of your cohort members emailed me about the professor thing but you don't have an option of choosing professors even though it seems like it when u register. Everyone will have the same professors, with the exception of clinicals ...

Yes, that's what I purchased - I think it's best to start off with 3 sets.. if you need more, you could probably always order later. The school logo automatically comes with the tops and lab coat.. the embroidery is just to have "Mt. Saint Mary's Col...

I would say 3 sets is perfect. 2 isn't quite enough... Especially since first semester you have clinicals 3 days in a row so to avoid doing laundry every other day, get 3 sets. You're required to buy the lab coat, but the fleece and there's also a wh...

Fisherking33- I am in the May cohort so I've only been in the program for a little less than 2 months. We just finished our first round of finals for the first half of the semester. I had a friend graduate from this program in 2008, so I knew going i...

Hi all, I am currently in the ABSN program, and as far as dates that you will need to keep open before you start the program, there's one day about a month before the start of the program where you go in for a math exam and uniform fittings. Then, a ...

wow, thank you so much Sugarlips!!! I wasn't expecting such a detailed breakdown of what we're going to need but you are amazing!! Since this list isn't the "official" list yet, I was worried about buying the books too early and then having the list ...

For anyone who is currently in the program, I was wondering when you guys got your list of books to purchase. We only have a little over 3 weeks before the program starts, and I want to start purchasing books ahead of time so I can find the cheapest ...

Thank you so much!!! Good to know :)

As far as textbooks, do you recommend buying the edition that they say you need, or could you survive off a previous edition of the textbook? They're so stinkin' expensive!

Oh my gosh so much information! Thank you guys!!! Kind of random, but as far as living where in LA do you suggest? I'm from Orange County and don't know LA to well, just that it's a huge county and it could take hours to get to certain places if I c...

mnicole, I live in Orange County too, and I'm currently in the process of looking for apartments in LA. Are you going to commute? I feel like commuting will really take a lot of time away from my study time.

Btw, I just created a group on facebook under "MSMC ABSN May '11 Cohort". I've never created a group so I'm not even sure if the privacy settings allow people to search for it, but let me know if you can't find it.

LJ815, I have decided not to take the Taylor University bioethics class. I too, work full time right now, trying to save as much money as I can before I quit my job for the program. I'm not sure how intense the class is, but my friend who graduated i...

Congrats Jo_Fitz! I agree, a Facebook group or a email list would be a great idea. I will make one tomorrow and post the link on this thread so everyone in the May '11 cohort can join!

congrats mnicole39! yes, I will most likely withdraw my application since the $400 tuition deposit is already due for MSMC by next Friday and I don't want to take the risk. what about you??
