hey all... i was just wondering if anyone else is applying to this school, has applied or is in the program right now? i wanted to know how it's going for you because it's program is fairly new and am being hesitant in applying =[

I went onto this forum after having a horrible day, after finding out I am pretty much doing really poorly in med surg. I just finished crying my eyes out and trying to get over it. I want to quit, I am over my head with work to studying. Believe it ...

Chinacat- This is an old thread but I wanted to reply that amazingly, my second semester has been a little bit better than last so far, but with more material and more work to do Anyway, we take Med-Surg this semester and are using a clinical suppor...

I'm about to complete my first semester, and I had a pathophysiology course. I'm sorry that you barely miss the cut off, here are some things that may help you that I am slowly starting to realize: 1) It's not enough to read and memorize. It took me ...

Oh and sorry didn't answer all the questions, the program is about $65,000 for 5 semesters, someone had posted the cost breakdown somewhere on this thread. Each unit is $750 and the entire program is about 72 units, but there are extra costs you pay ...

Hi Cathy! That's great that you're interested in applying, overall Charles Drew was the school for me (for my interests, needs and close to the location), so if you are applying to several schools and are accepted into more than one, really look into...

I read somewhere on this site: "for profit" schools tend to do that sort of thing for their profit margins... Most non-profit schools give the students the option of comparison shopping to help them save on costs. So if you are looking for the conv...

congrats class of 2013 :) just wanted to know if anyone else annoyed that theyre charging us $1500 for books and $1000 for supplies? if you look up the actual costs the books are around $500 if not less...

Ok so the lab on Saturday is for FNP students? Good to know.. I'm trying to keep my job and work Saturdays.. I really want to work Fridays as well so Im REALLY hoping they dont give us a Friday rotation.

business casual seems the most appropriate

yea i ended up adding the one that said cohort 1... didnt see cohort 3 but the class made the most sense to add since it starts 8/29..

Did anyone get scheduled a lab (NURS520L) that will be Saturday evenings? I did

nvm i figured it out :)

did anyone have trouble verifying their student id number and name with dob? can you also access the student services page?

Just wondering if you've verified with CDU that we start clinicals end of September? Trying to enjoy as much freedom as I can til school starts

The health forms said that we wouldn't be able to register for classes if the physical is not done before the 29th.. I couldn't get one scheduled soon enough with my regular doctor so I just went to a local clinic and luckily got it scheduled three d...

i think that the statistic reflects the majority of the surrounding demographics of the area and has nothing to do with the criterea to get into the nursing school, overall race is not a factor- they don't ask about what race you are but how you are ...

I just wanted to know if any nurses can give any insight on their loan forgiveness program, when they applied, was it easy to get accepted, how it works, overall helpfulness and how long or how much the program applied to. I just want a general overv...

Thanks so much for the feedback, were you able to apply for the HRSA during nursing school? I had asked them and they said that I had to wait until I graduates/licensed (not sure which). Their deadline is around May and I graduate in May.. so I guess...

Thanks so much everyone for the replies, I'm sure they would have explained the process to us during nursing school but I wanted to get a good idea of when I can actually start submitting certain job apps and loan repayment programs (i know 2 years i...

This is just a question from someone about to start the program this Fall, I was wondering when is the earliest time to take the NCLEX? I wanted to know for HRSA purposes... they only allow applicants with a current nursing liscence to apply for the ...

Yea with the new management and everything the drew trauma center will be an ideal place to get real experience.. although I think it might take a while for the drew center to gain its reputation back with the community- but I'm not too worried about...

I loved reading this encouraging note, I too had been there and finally got accepted to an entry level master's in nursing program.. 2 years and 2 birds with one stone :) I just wanted to mention that I started as a pre-nursing student that failed mi...

Yea it was a nice relief not to stress about the required reading, I am looking into supplemental books https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/books-every-nursing-483920.html, (I created a wish list if anyone is interested) Im so excited :).. ...

I asked them about the books and theyre actually included in the tuition... that means all books for all classes will be provided, and also yea we do start clinicals right away... so for anyone thats looking into working during school (including myse...
