Hello, I'd like to first preface this by saying this is one of the hardest things I will ever post because it is a bit humiliating. But I am lost as to what I should do, and I'm starting to feel hopeless about my nursing career. I graduated with my...

And what if I decided not to do any kind of clinical nursing? What if I wanted to do Research or change to a different type of patient-centered care, such as Nurse Aesthetician? I was advised to get my Cosmetology License, take an IV Cert class, and ...

Hi everyone, I am a student currently taking my pre-reqs for a number of Master's Entry Nursing programs throughout SoCal (probably the most impacted part of the country for this program). Since I started this process 3 years ago, I've had an exceedi...

Hi there, I am interested in becoming a CNA Instructor and was hoping to find schools/programs in the Los Angeles area where I could obtain my certificate and teach. I already have my RN License and have worked as a nurse for nearly 30 years. I woul...

NVM, the link came up today. Guess it just took a day to change online. WHOO HOO!! DEPOSIT IS PAID!!!!

Hello Nursing Toreros!! I am so very happy to FINALLY say that I MADE IT INTO THE PROGRAM!!!! I'm so excited to be part of our cohort and I can't wait to meet all of you! I'm trying to figure out how I can be added onto the MEPN 2016 FB group? Also...

@ReordonaSRN You've given some very excellent answers, thank you!! I've just decided to go to NU, granted with a lot of reservations, but I've done tons of research. Yes, there are pros and cons, and just like you said, that goes for every instituti...

Been doing a lot of research on CNA programs in San Diego. Seems the cheapest ones are, of course, also the most popular and difficult to get into. Was wondering if anyone out there could make some recommendations as to which schools offer CNA progra...

I think this past Friday was the last day to turn in the initial deposit, so I'm guessing they'll send out responses some time this week

Hi there, Couldn't find anything about the revised GRE so I'm starting a new thread. Have any of you taken it? If so, how long did you take to study, and if you don't mind sharing what was your score? Or what is considered a good score based on the n...

Wow, thank you so much, mzaur! that was so helpful!! Exactly the type of answer I was hoping to find.

Thank you, NurseMorse! I've seen the Poway ROP class listings, although the classes are m-f, 7-3 which I can't take right now while I'm finishing up classes at my CC. I'm gonna see if I can get into MiraCosta and Grossmont, and i've also looked into ...

I just want to thank everyone for sharing these inspiring stories. I'm just finishing up my first attempts at applying to nursing school, and so far I'm 0 for 2. Still waiting for 1 more, but starting to feel real discouraged, especially after being ...

hi guys, sorry if i missed this in an earlier post, but does anyone know approx. when we'll be notified about acceptance for the summer 2014 cohort?

i was totally thinking the same thing last nite! i took it as a sign for sure

i've been checking MySanDiego portal but still says the same thing. I wonder how soon they update your application status vs when the letter arrives in the mail

what time does the mail usually arrive? LOL i know it varies from area to area. i think we get ours around early to late afternoon

i'm just curious, do acceptance letters come in bigger envelopes than reject letters? i know that's probably an old college acceptance/reject myth, but just thought i'd ask anyway

is anyone else going crazy from all this waiting like i am?

i have. it still says Complete-Under Review...or something like that.

i was reading posts from last year's cohorts, and it looks like you might be able to check your application status on your MySanDiego Portal, as well. OMG, i have been stressing about this all week long. Can't believe we were interviewing just a week...

i totally agree Binky! I'm going crazy, but luckily i have some projects and exams to distract me

Thanks again, Devan!

hi devan, it's aimee. i'm sorry i didn't have a chance to meet with you, although i think i might have seen you when we toured the Sim lab. not sure if you'll remember, i was the tiny Asian girl that came in with the big afternoon group around 2ish. ...

When I first came out of my interview, I felt good. But now that I've had time to think (and freak out), there were so many things I didn't have a chance to say. I felt like that 15 minute time limit was hanging over my head the whole time, so now i'...
