i'm considering taking a 4-week course through the Red Cross in Canoga Park. Has anyone ever gone through this program? How was the experience for you? It's pretty pricey, but I want to get trained...
@tilapiacooker - those accepted have till April 2nd to give her their decision so it ain't over till it's over!!If I were you I'd contact K on Monday and express how much you want to be in the program...
when i tell people i work three 12-hour shifts a week, they somehow have it in their minds that i am a part-time employee. they focus on the THREE and not on the total number of hours (that is spent...
oops. it looks like the FB page i made is so secret that no one can access it! let me change the settings to "closed," meaning only members can see the
i just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck at UCLA! i decided to go with CSULA. yesterday afternoon, i withdrew my intent to enroll. i know there are a few others who will be doing the same,...
congrats, msgbad4u! my reasons for choosing CSULA over UCLA are as follows: NP degree (i'm in my 30's so i don't want to have to apply to yet another program after graduation), the ability to work as...
I just got a call too!! I can't believe I'm in... I'm so excited! I'll have to contact UCLA to retract my acceptance. congrats to those who are in thus far. I'm sure she's still making calls so hang...
I interviewed on Feb. 24th. I hope she even remembers me, for heaven's sake!! that's one of the drawbacks of interviewing early. Monday can't come soon
hi jungdt! there are a few reasons why i feel CSULA is a better fit for me than UCLA. the main one being that i'm interested in the NP track. with MECN, i would need to go back to school again in...
@susan007 - congrats on a successful interview! and thank you for your advice on my situation. i guess i will go ahead and accept UCLA, then withdraw my acceptance if CSULA wants me. i feel bad...
i am also going crazy waiting for her decision (i interviewed 2 weeks ago as well!). i need to notify UCLA of my decision by March 19th so i'm hoping to here back from K before
thanks, monmon87! i think last year she was admitting people as she interviewed and people felt uneasy about spots filling up before they even had a chance to interview. perhaps to be fair this time...
hi sunshiine! i'm sorry to hear you didn't get in. after i was rejected, i contacted the dean via email. she basically told me i was a strong candidate but that my background was different (i was a...
@anewnurse79 - congrats on having a great interview! i think mine went okay. i thought of stuff i should've mentioned AFTER i left her office. as for the essay, mine was pretty short. i wrote like...
i live in los angeles and got my acceptance letter via regular mail today! but online it says "no decision has been made." i applied last year and was rejected... from what i remember, those who...
@danceluver - a few pages back, a current student by the handle mrmandap talks about his/her experiences thus far in the program. @happyperson2 and willowla - thanks for your advice. i think i will...
@willowLA - i interviewed with CSULA last week, but the program coordinator said it would take several weeks before she notifies people of her decision because she's only in the early stages of...
@5unshine - thanks so much for the interview tips! congrats to susan007! good luck on your interview. the coordinator is super nice so don't be nervous
personally, i don't think MSMC graduates have an edge over grads from other schools. at the hospital where i work as a CNA, we have new grads with nursing degrees from UCLA to Cal State to Santa...
