Hi lauris4luv! The job market from what I experienced has been pretty amazing! So I am from the Bay Area, just graduated back in December, and I have been looking for jobs while studying for exam (Took it late Feb and passed). There are a LOT of oppo...
Hello everyone!! My name is Cynthia, and I just graduated from a family NP program last December! I have a job offer from a major corporation for an full time NP position that is predominantly occupational health! They pay well, and initially they hi...
Hi core0, you are ABSOLUTELY right there are other factors for sure! I was totally not aware that some places can have people on a no-hire list. The responses I received back from the company after I renege is that they wish me luck and to let them k...

Thank you for your response! YEAH it was giving me ALLL the butterflies and stomachaches just to try to really think about what I want, what I like, and what choice I should make. In my experience here in California, getting an offer for an NP positi...

Thanks for the advice DAS255. Parking just seems to be such a nuisance everywhere in sf! I totally understand your point about you knowing clearly what your end goal is but you might not necessarily know the differences between each of the programs, ...

Hi DAS225! What do you think of the program so far? Do you feel like you are getting out of the program exactly what you are supposed to? The providers at the cardiology office I work at really like the program, but then I have heard conflicting opin...

I have volunteered for various hospitals back when I was in college a year ish ago, now I have been working for a cardiology clinic in SF chinatown for close to a year. I really learned a lot working here because we work with a difficult population o...

@chaparrita -- no for sure, everyone is going to think a bit differently, the hardest part is synthesizing all the things you hear with how you feel and what you think =D @lilcalbear -- go cal???! if so, then fist bump, me too =D I wish you luck and...
CynCyn26 replied to alyssag24's topic in California
God I know that feeling. I am also already in a lot of debt from college. Where did you go? The thing is though, SMU and USF tuition are really not too different from each other since SMU is like 126000k over the span of 3.4 years, whereas USF its li...
CynCyn26 replied to alyssag24's topic in California
alyssag, are you gonna put down ur tuition deposit for SMU since u r still waiting to hear from USF?? DUDE so nervous about USF. SMU is a more direct route to what i ultimately wanna become, which is NP, but the USF is more well recognized.
CynCyn26 replied to vballtrumpeter's topic in California
alyssa, omg I hope that we don't have to wait longer then 2-3 weeks from USF, cuz since I have submitted app back in feb, i haven't heard a single thing from them. Have you heard anything from USF saying they will notify us soon? Do you know which sc...
CynCyn26 replied to vballtrumpeter's topic in California
Nah, I am still going to accept the offer, its just that I have heard the same kind of comments from several providers, so it does make one wonder. I also applied to USF, couldn't apply to SF state since they suspended application process for 2013 an...
CynCyn26 replied to vballtrumpeter's topic in California
She had said that she'd hate for me to do a program that is not as recognize as some of the more highly recognized ones like USF and SF State. Actually the NP and the PA that I work for both said the same thing, that SMU program is not that impressiv...
CynCyn26 replied to vballtrumpeter's topic in California
Hey tooj! I got my official letter yesterday =D I work at a cardiology clinic, and the experienced NP here doesn't recommend me doing the SMU program -_- Did you apply to any other schools?
CynCyn26 replied to vballtrumpeter's topic in California

CynCyn26 replied to vballtrumpeter's topic in California
I am going to join the fb group too if you guys don't mind! Have you guys gotten the official acceptance letter yet? I don't know if anyone remember me haha, I was in the 2/23 1pm group, and then I am the Chinese girl that came in last =D
CynCyn26 replied to vballtrumpeter's topic in California
Oooooh snap!!! So I had my FNP interview on feb 23rd, 2013, so just this past Saturday at 1pm. I think our interview group is the last of all the interviews and it's also a re-applicant group from last yr who didn't get offered admission. And then bo...
