This is the only school I'm applying to for the summer cycle, but I might apply to other schools in the Fall if I don't get into this program.

They do look at the overall applicant, but your GPA is worth a lot of points. I forget how many applicants they get exactly for summer, but it was significantly less than the amount of applicants they get in the fall. Did they contact you for an int...

Hey! so they had me do the writing sample, which took about 30 min and then I went upstairs to talk to the assistant director. She was really nice and just went over what classes I still needed and emphasized the difficulty of the program. I guess ...

Ahhh I wish I read that post before the interview haha. Oh well, I think I did good overall! =)

Melly6212: Thank you for the encouragement! =) I'm applying to the main campus, but I did visit the San Diego location for the preview day. Is the writing prompt like the SAT's or is something related to nursing?

They just contacted me by phone to set up an interview for this upcoming Wednesday! She said the interview will last about an hr

I just turned in my paperwork yesterday and I spoke with a graduate admissions counselor and she said they should give us a response within 2-3 months for sure.

That's comforting to hear! I will definitely let you know if I hear anything. Thank you!

I don't think a lot of entry level MSN programs require healthcare experience at all. PA programs do, but most entry level MSN programs dont, so any healthcare experience would help. I emailed a lot of schools about their average GPA and they ranged...

After you finish your NCLEX, are there any programs that will help you find a RN job? Will they help you find preceptors?

Will I have to fill out a completely new application if I don't get accepted? As in resend transcripts and rec letters again?

so if someone came to work out in their undies that wouldn't be my business? it is my business if I'm using the same machines with him. he's in a public place and he has the right to wear what he wants, but why is it wrong for me to ask him if it's...

you're SUPPOSED to worry about germs in a hospital. do you not wear gloves, masks, etc for protection against germs? I realize exposure to germs is inevitable in the setting, but being cautious to minimize it is important.

If you don't mind me asking, what are your stats that made you a strong candidate?

Does anyone know if I didn't get into the fall cycle if I could apply for the following spring one without changing anything on my application, other than additional work experience?

I'm about to enter a NP program and specialize in adult acute care and I was wondering how much additional schooling I would need if I wanted to eventually leave the ER and go into a family practice

Agreed with the above comment. Your personal statement should tell the admission committee something about you that isn't on your application. Also, it doesn't flow very well. For example, "These are all characteristics I believe a nurse should pos...

I'm about to graduate from a BSN program in Texas, but I want to move back to Cali to find a job there. My question is, can I take the NCLEX in Texas and still be able to practice in CA? If not, how will I go about doing so?

the possibilities was the reason for concern

It depends how many W's you currently have, but I would not drop it just because you have a B

I'm not very good with physics, and I know optometry focuses a lot on light (relfection, refraction, etc). Also, I shadowed an optometrist and I just didn't see myself doing that for a career.

I know he is a nurse because he wears the same scrubs that I see when I go to that hospital (I'm an EMT). Like you said, you've had some obvious yuckkies on you and sometimes are unaware of stains left behind, so how would I know if the ones he was ...

Patrick. Did you apply this cycle?

Oh cool! I'm also going to their preview day! What's your name, maybe I'll see you there =)
