Thanks, doggymama23. Good to know I didn't just dream that. I was going to register for it but then waited when I heard we needed an id #. Going to try to register for it online today and see what happens.

Hey guys. Quick question---were y'all under the impression that we could take epidemiology this summer BEFORE we start the rest of our classes, so that we could get it out of the way? (I realize this would only apply to the fall cohort students). ...

didn't get mine either. thanks for the heads up!

I applied to CSUN's accelerated BSN program for a 2nd Bachelors. I've taken all of my pre-reqs so I'd be ready to start. If I go the PCC route, I'd still have to take a history class and nutrition. --another reason I'm leaning towards CSUN.

Hi Christina10483. It seems like a pretty clear answer to me. I'd stick with OU. --Esp since it's close to your family and you already have housing taken care of. Also--something you may want to think about: Texas has some pretty amazing medical ...

I'm def considering that, although I'm also considering the fact that one of the main things that hospitals/employers look for with new grads is paid experience. At PCC I could keep up my volunteering at the hospitals i'm at and possibly even work a...

yes...I've applied and got into another program and it's a BSN program. I'm happy to have gotten in, but I'm actually still considering PCC b/c it's a much better location for me and a better time frame. I'd plan to continue with a bridge program t...

Hi snookiejc. I don't think that the straight RN applicant have heard yet. Also--I think that last year they didn't hear until June, even thought they said May. I'm not sure why, though. I am hoping that was just last year and that this year they...

no orientation packet. Has anyone who has RSVPed for the Basic Life Support class know what time it is at on that Wednesday?

re: living arrangements...I am planning to stay where I am, although I'm worried about the commute. I love where I live and it definitely would not be worth moving, but my commute would probably be 30-40 min with no traffic. yikes. But I know what...

Wow. Thanks perseveRaNce23. Nice explanation. I had heard about this no help but federal loans, but the rest of the details are great to know. And no, I haven't gotten my orientation packet either. I believe they are supposed to be emailed (?) th...

Hi busybee. I am also eager for more info so I'm hoping we'll get everything we need to know in the email packet!

Fall. I need the summer to get things in order.

---- said that the packets are still being reviewed and "will hopefully be sent out in a week". (As of an email response 4/18).

Yes, thanks, perseveRaNce23. We appreciate your input.

wrightnurse and flocknight--Thanks for the input. I actually have been researching this quite a bit and talked to several well-respected hospitals. I have been hearing that many hospitals will only hire BSNs but oddly, every hospital I've talked to...

While I definitely do agree that all programs have their share of problems, I am interested in Floknight and Rkay have to say. Is the main issue that they are not supportive? Is there a negative energy but the education is still good? I am asking ...

Thanks doggymama23. Appreciate it. And looking forward to meeting all of you!

Hi doggymama23.....I also got into CSUN for the fall semester. Where are you planning on taking the epidemiology class? At CSUN or somewhere else? I'd love to fit that in during the summer, as well, if I can. Thanks.
