If you guys are interested, there's a UCLA interview process Facebook page! If you search "UCLA New Grad Nurse Residency Program Winter 2016" it should come up! Best of luck to everyone!

Hi guys! I actually got a chance to talk to the person we addressed cover letters to this past weekend at the CNSA convention. She said the application window was extended because they didn't get the typical amount of applicants as they had in years ...

ATI tests are all on the computer, in the same format as the TEAS. The first one to count won't be until Fundamentals. We took one for pharm, but it was mostly just to get us accustomed to it. I know there was some discussion about future cohorts tak...

Yeah they did that to us too! I'm expecting that much study time going into med-surg, but didn't get anywhere close to that the last several classes. Don't get me wrong, I definitely studied, and it's not "easy", but it wasn't as excruciating as they...

Hi guys! I figured I'd pay it forward to the incoming/applying students as others did for me during the horrible wait! I'm in Cohort 36 (about to start med-surg 1 next week...eek!) and I can honestly say I've been pleasantly surprised and pleased wi...

Hi aspiring! You won't hear back until jan/feb for an interview. The wait is grueling! I would recommend looking through this thread and last year's because there's a ton of useful info and timeline expectations (I know they're really long!). Good l...

Thank you SO much. As National was not my first choice, it's been difficult to feel at peace with going here. That sounds worse than what I mean! It's just been hard to decipher the good and bad and reality. I know that I'll get a great education, bu...

Thank you so much! Very helpful info :) as we progress I may be shooting you several pms!! Other than the stress of being a nursing student, have you enjoyed the program so far? Professors, the way the program is structured?
BlueEyes85 replied to kerri sand's topic in California
Thanks for the insight Anbo! I asked what it all entailed and they said the same, so that makes sense. I knew it was going to somethingggg it just seemed like an astronomical amount! I think the reality of not working is starting to set in, so I'm on...

I just got mine also, I got a 3.5/5 on the essay which is 14/20. 88% on the teas (26.4 pts), 3.43 GPA (26ish pts) and full 20 for attempts. I also asked about the orientation fee, (which they've annoyingly failed to EVER mention!) and it's...wait for...
BlueEyes85 replied to BeesMama's topic in California
I was accepted to the SD location and I'm snooping around other threads But $2,500 for the orientation fee?! Are you kidding?! I knew it was around $1500, but has it really increased that much?? I'm sending an email now, so Ill update once I receive...

I was just accepted to their Oct 2013 cohort and I'm currently in that exact situation! I've been working full time for so long! I'm nervous to not have an income, but I suppose I will make up for that once I find a job after. My best solution, thus ...

Most you probably had done as a child, but you have to show you have immunity or be able to show your records. If you call your primary care physician they'll know what you're talking about when you say you are applying to nursing school and need tit...
