Hello everyone, Well I recently finished my BSN and applied to the online FNP program at Chamberlain. I have heard many pros and cons of this program, but overall I have definitely heard more positive things about it. Anyways, looks like I may be sta...

Hello all :-) I had a few questions regarding HNUs LVN/BSN program in Oakland. I interviewed this last Wednesday for the summer semester. I know it'll take a few weeks to hear back, but I wanted to know if anyone else interviewed for Summer 2013? If ...

Just got a call!!! I was accepted!! Woooohooo!!!!

Looks like I'm on the wait list :-) Guess that's better than nothing!

Congrats!!! That's so awesome!! You deserve it! I sure hope I hear something soon :-)

I left another message for the nursing department. They're probably so annoyed with me by now. I need to know because of work, I'd need to change my schedule. Anywho! I'll let you know what they say! Admissions never really gives me much of an answer...

Me too!!! Good to know I'm not the only one! How was your interview?? Mine seemed so basic, and my written statement was awful I'm sure. I didn't know what to write!! We should know by next week!!!

I think GPA plays a part in it, but I'm not 100% sure :-( Sorry I can't give you a for sure answer on that! They just wanted my transcripts, didn't say if gpa was part of the selection process

It's such a long wait! Everything I call they say one more week. It's nerve wracking! Hopefully we get admitted :-) Itd be nice to be classmates! I wonder what takes so long?

No I haven't :-( Have you? They said it'd be the first week of April. And I interviewed in February! Ah!

Hi Diana! I'm thinking the interview is mandatory for admissions. When I called this Friday, they said they're still reviewing applicants. So that's good news for you! You may still get called for an interview. I applied to spring and the deferred me...

Well it's the second week, has anyone heard anything? I know application deadline was Friday the 1st, but I'm just wondering if anyone has spoken to admissions or been accepted?

Good luck in getting in! With your drive you will get into a program before you know it :-) My situation was a little different because I applied to spring and the differed me to summer. But I'm wondering if maybe the application pool is smaller for ...

JeLi- I do have work experience, almost a year. But my interview was so short! And you don't need experience I think. I think they take new grad LVNs as much as seasoned ones. I'm sure it'll be way more competitive in the fall, hopefully we won't hav...

It's 7 semseters. And it goes thru summer so about 2.5 years :-)

Btw, do you know what happens if we don't get admitted? Do we get to reapply? Thanks!

@JeLi, mine was short too! I wasn't sure what to write. I think I repeated myself twice in the 3 sentences I wrote! OMG, maybe you interviewed after me.....my interview was really short! Probably only 10 minutes? With generic questions. I'm so anxiou...

I'm in the same boat as you!! I allows them as well, basically it's just a letter to be sent to a particular address. You don't need to wait for their paperwork to do it. You can PM me for the address, and the contract does say they are NOT responsib...

Where did you read this? My contract didn't say anything about a refund. And I'm sending my demand letter today. Can you share what you stated in yours?

Hello all. A little background on me, I worked as a medical asistant for 7yrs prior to going to LVN school. Graduated in 2011 and was hired by Kaiser before I took my NCLEX. They hired me as a medical assistant in hopes I would transition to an LVN p...

Thank you!! I hear a lot from my classmates about the fast paced environment of a SNF. I'm just making sure Im not missing out on useful experience. I am working on my LVN-BSN, then wil hopefully get my MSN. So I guess you're right about staying here...

Thank you for your reply. I'm aware that many want to work with Kaiser, I'm just afraid I'm not getting the experience I should. I feel like the nurses at the SNFs get much more hands on experience. I guess I worry too much! I just want to make extra...

This may be a dumb question, but can you please explain what is planned for the 27th? My letter didn't say anything about it. It was very vague. Basically stated its not happening until further notice

Hopefully. I guess I'll just continue with the pre-reqs outside of College Network. I see they merged our threads btw, just noticed that!! I will try my best to keep you updated :)

Ooops, I just saw the statement regarding the 9/27 meeting. I guess I should have read the whole thing before replying :-( My letter didn't say that. But I'm glad you posted it. I'm not admitted either, but I'm nervous to continue pursuing it. I don'...
