Ms. Informed

Indeed, the beginning part of the program is probably the most stressful part. Lots of competition with no guarantee of admission. I'm not sure how your friend wasted 2 years considering that the core classes only takes 1 year. On the plus side, EVER...

Getting an A was definitely possible! I ended up getting a 95%. You have to put in a lot of time and effort, but that's how it is with every class. I probably put in 10-15 hours a week. I did read all the chapters, and I went over the slides on evolv...

I actually did end up getting accepted. I'm finishing up my first semester in December. In total, 16 were accepted, but 2 dropped early on. Are you/have you applied to this program as well?

Yeah, I know. That's why everyone at the orientation left either upset or shocked. I don't know how they can get away with it since it is pretty unfair. The only benefit is that IF you do get accepted, the cost is cheaper (for California residents, t...

Hi. Sorry to reply so late, I kinda forgot about this thread. Anyways, conditionally accepted means you're accepted in the school, and need to take several MSN courses. The first semester is advanced patho and advanced nursing roles. During the first...

Hello! I have been conditionally accepted for Fall 2013 MSN/FNP track as well. I have not heard much about this school =( Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who attended this school, so I've been doing research on my own. I'm glad I found this post o...

Thank you. I'm sure you were extremely qualified as well I haven't seen a list (I wish I had access). I just know of at least 10 people who got hired, most of which were my classmates, the others were out of state. Not to mention that several other p...

Don't worry. I got my rejection email as well. I've come to the conclusion that Cedars isn't worth it. From what I found out, several of my classmates got hired, and they all had lower GPAs than me, were much older, and didn't get their license until...

I just got a call from CHLA. The woman I spoke to said that although they had initially rejected me, they still have my application and would like to interview me for the oncology department. I thought it was kind of random but awesome that they deci...

I work for a home health agency. I would prefer a hospital still, but I'm not even going to complain with what I have right now. I do live in LA, but it's still hard to find jobs at hospitals. I've applied to five, got automatically rejected from 3, ...

Yeah, this is awful. At least some hospitals are straight out honest and tell you when you're waitlisted or rejected. I honestly don't even know if it's worth working here anymore. I've already found a job part-time elsewhere. If Cedars calls, that w...

Yeah, I feel you on that. I graduated in May and I've been looking forward to going on vacation out of the country, but I felt like Cedars was holding me back. At this point, I don't even want to book anything just in case the HR department at Cedars...

Just wondering, when did you get it mailed back?

Count me in! This is becoming very frustrating. I am sick of waiting. Even if this is a good thing, I would greatly appreciate better communication and direction.

When I called last week and asked if there were any positions left, the woman said yes, and that not everyone has been notified yet. Of course, she said that they would start notifying more this week, but it seems like nothing happened, so I don't kn...

Congrats! Must be very exciting! At least now you don't have to wait any longer with Cedars. Best of luck to you and your new job =]

For rejection? i cant imagine there being that many more people to contact. I wonder whats taking them a long time

When I talked to the nurse recruiter yesterday (right before the interview), she said they selected the first batch of people to be interviewed. They didn't choose everyone from that batch, so moved on to the second batch. I was in the second batch. ...

I honestly was not a fan of their interview. It was a small panel, and it lasted a little over an hour. But I was there for almost 3 because they started over an hour late. They asked me about 20 scenario questions and to provide a million examples. ...

Haha, same here. I've never been so scared to check my emails! It used to be that I couldn't wait to receive an email. This waiting game is not fun

Still..better than a rejection at this point. Best of luck to you! I'll make sure to cross my fingers. I'm hopeful that 2 people won't accept =]

-sigh- I'm too scared to call. I just hope I don't wake up tomorrow to a rejection email.

Lol, is this what I have to look forward to? A "No thank you" titled email? I haven't gotten mine yet, but I know mine will come shortly. Oh well, it was a good first job interview experience. I also have an interview tomorrow, so hopefully that one ...

Many times I lost hope with Cedars, and I still managed to get this far. I emailed RL when people were getting phone interviews, so I thought for sure I wouldn't get called. No one even bothered to send me an email back. Out of nowhere, a month or so...

Geeze... So much negativity on this thread. I still think they're not done with the selection process because I know of a lot of people who went to the interview without a license, but showed Cedars their confirmation for the NCLEX exam (of when they...
