   lisapett42 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California

   I was an english lit major and had a Master's in Public Health and 4 years healthcare work experience but don't let that scare you because most people didn't have ANY work experience or had majors that weren't science at all. I still don't know how ...

   FYI...in case you guys didn't know. They are letting in 90 MECN's to the Fall 2012 class (instead of the usual 60) so that's good! I'm a MECN now and we received emails from the Dean letting us know. Plus they let in about 25 people from waitlist so ...

   @AuntySam We have a plethora of backgrounds from people who have worked in healthcare for a long time to people with no experience whatsoever. That is not the deciding factor so do not worry. They want well rounded individuals who don't just have gre...
