I am excited to be starting the new grad program and LBMMC on Monday! Has anyone been through the program? Is there any advice?

I went to nursing school with the goal of becoming an L&D nurse, so when the opportunity presented itself I took it! if you are interested in OB it might be a good fit. If you you're just not liking Med Surg, it might not be. We are very fast pac...

I loved it!! I hired into the adult float unit which is where most new grads get hired. It is supportive and a great learning environment. The preceptors on the various floors were great and I really enjoyed my orientation. I only stayed in the float...

I am looking into the WGU Prelicensure program. I already have my BA in Economics and am pursuing a huge career change. Does anyone know if the CNA requirement is something we have to complete to be admitted to the program? I have all of the other...

Is this for a new application or an endorsement from another state?

Hi, I am graduating from National in LA this month. The prompts change every time. Mine was something along the lines of besides caring why do you want to be a nurse. What they really care about is 1) your ability to write (grammar, sentences, flo...

Is anyone else applying for the November 2013 Cohort? I'm working on the application right now. I should be starting Biomedical Statistics on Monday. I am trying to figure out the overall cost of the program and trying to get all of my finances li...

Ok - so I have to do two nursing diagnosis for the two surgeries that I observed. Here is the catch, only one can be a "risk". I had a patient go for a partial nephrectomy and the other patient had a lymph node excision and lumpectomy. I can think...

It was axillary - so near the arm pit. Her airway wasn't compromised during surgery. And I can't think of any evidence for that either. I think I could do anxiety - but I just did that on a previous assignment and she hates seeing the same thing ...

Hi! I'm in cohort 10. We started in November 2013. I don't remember my exact GPA but it was roughly 3.5. I got an 87.4 on the TEAS and never asked about my essay score. Our professor was saying they are looking at essays now so you should hopefully h...

I had a frustrating experience with WGU as well. I applied for the OC Cohort last year, was not accepted. Then applied for LA, was not accepted, then applied for Pasadena -- again not accepted. I had a 3.5 GPA, previous degree, but no healthcare e...

I didn't see a thread, so I started one. I am planning on applying this fall for the Direct Entry MSN program. Anyone else?

I asked someone the same question...don't quote me because I am not sure it is always the same, but white, non slip, fluid resistant shoes!

You can search West Coast University in the search tab and find good info. Not sure what you want to know, though. Have you talked to them yet? It is a for-profit, private university. If you have no pre-reqs to transfer over, it will cost you in...

I would think working full time would be near impossible unless you are able to work a night shift somewhere. If you do real estate, with your own hours, perhaps it's possible. With National (I'm starting in nov) it would be hard because you never k...

Additionally, my goal (though perhaps it might be too big of one) is to compile my study tools, along with others I find useful, in one place! Blog or something. Along with my experience to get here, how I found my classes, what steps I took to fin...

Absolutely! That is my goal. If anything, I tend to overshare my study materials!!! Thank you so much!!

I am starting this fall as well! How do we find your pharm cards??

Yay!!! I wonder if it is because no one is in it? I will send the link to you in a PM!

I started a facebook group in the hopes we could all get to know one another! If you search National University LA Cohort X you should be able to find it!

I got in!! :)

I don't understand why the San Diego forum is so much busier than this one! :) Hoping to hear something in the next couple weeks!

Nah, nothing. But school has started now, so this has become a moot point. :) Best of luck to everyone in their endeavors!
