I got accepted into CSUSM's FNP and USC's FNP program for Fall 2020. CSUSM is a public school whereas USC is a private university. I need help making a decision. Obv, USC has more prestige but is very costly at 90K+ and CSUSM is comparatively cheaper than USC. Would it matter if I went to CSUSM versus USC. BTW, I did attend CSUSM for my BSN degree. I estimated the cost for attending CSUSM to be around 40-50K. Not sure if it's a good time to be going back to school with this corona virus pandemic. Perhaps, I should wait a year and reapply for school and save more money. Please advise and Thank you.

Thanks! I figured it wouldn't hurt to try again and apply. :)

Hi all, I wanted to write in here because it's been awhile since I have logged on allnurses. About two years ago or so, I had an interview at my dream hospital (UCSD). Unfortunately, I did not get the position. I had gone into a slight depression because of the rejection. At the time, I had two interviews. One at UCSD and at Palomar Medical Center. I chose to work at Palomar because I thought it would give me a better experience and it was much closer to where I lived. Today, I'm working at Palomar on a PCU unit. I love the coworkers and the job! I'm thankful that I chose to work at Palomar but I always wondered if I tried again with UCSD would I have a better chance? I always thought to myself. Never give up on your dreams. So therefore, I am gonna try again and apply to UCSD. :) No matter how many rejections. I'll keep on trying!! :) Just wanted to vent! Hope everyone is having a wonderful evening.

Hey, I just had a question. How soon after your interview did they notify you that you got the job? Do they call you? Or do they send you an email? Just curious. Thanks.

hi lilsurfergirl - apparently, i can't send you a private message but if you could send me your email and I would be glad to answer any questions. thanks. :)

How do you send a Private Message on here? All nurses says it won't let me unless I have posted a certain amount of postings. Would like some insight on a situation I have. Perhaps someone could provide their email address and we could exchange back and forth. :) Thanks.

Hi lilsurfergurl, I just checked the UCSD website and my status still remains the same as "referred to hiring department." My interview isn't till July 2 and I never thought I would get an interview but we shall see how it goes. When is your interview? Good luck to you!

I got a call from the assistant nurse manager for an interview! :)

I just wanted to know. I had applied for a position with UCSD and my job status says, "referred to hiring department 5/30". today is 6/10/13 and I have heard nothing. Should I follow up with HR regarding the availability of the position? I don't want to sound overly desperate. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. =)

How was the interview? Did you get the job?!!! UCSD is my dream hospital. I know I won't give up on applying there.

I really want to work at UCSD. Thanks for all the tips. I currently work at a hospital in SD but it's not my dream hospital. I can't complain though. I know someday I'll eventually end up at UCSD. :)

Hi AZ. I would love to work at UCSD. Thanks for your tips. What organizations do you recommend joining?
