  3. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    cyaos replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    If you know for certain that you want to work in California, you should just take the nclex for california board. It takes just as long endorsing and maybe even longer. I had friends who took their...

  4. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    cyaos replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Seas, MSN, I am in the same boat as you. I submitted everything by paper April 18th and it was finally "received" May 4, 2016. It used to say "missing educational history," but about a week or two...

  5. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    cyaos replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Make sure you go to update profile and add license or else nothing shows up. Not sure if that's the issue but i was clueless and didn't see anything show up until I did that. I applied by mail on...

    cyaos replied to Bell427's topic in School, College Programs

    The class size average is about 90 students. Everyone, whether or not you are submatriculated into an MSN program, is in the same BSN program. From what I recall, about half of the students were BSN...

    cyaos replied to Bell427's topic in School, College Programs

    Also, for the BSN portion you cannot go part-time. It is an 18 month full time program. For the MSN portion, you can go part time and some MSN specialties require you to work in between the BSN and...

  9. NCLEX RN Advice

    cyaos replied to merzielynn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi enileg! I guess everyone's study strategies aren't the same, but I would probably stick to one or two books max because you don't want to overwhelm yourself. Have you used Kaplan qbank or uworld...

    cyaos replied to 808415's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey guys, saw some people wondering why they had to do financial aid so early. The reason is so that they can calculate what grants and loans you will be eligible for by the time you find out if you...

    cyaos replied to 808415's topic in School, College Programs

    I know that penn has the program, but i'm not too sure if you can apply for the direct entry. The good thing is you can switch your master's program once you're in penn, and the process is really...

    cyaos replied to mewei's topic in School, College Programs

    Wow, thanks Sarahcee for all the financial aid info! It's very helpful! I am hoping I get a lot because, yes, my husband is dirt poor, haha. That is because he's a medical student, i hope that doesn't...

    cyaos replied to mewei's topic in School, College Programs

    Sorry I wrote so much! I forgot to mention, if you're worried about strange roomies or you can't really afford to live on your own, you can always try to contact someone in this forum to partner up to...

  19. UPenn Direct Entry BSN/MSN 2014

    cyaos replied to mewei's topic in School, College Programs

    BTW, if you look at the map of where Upenn is, you'll notice its west of the Schuykill river, so if you live anywhere east of it, you can still commute easily, but you'd have to take a trolley/bus...

    cyaos replied to mewei's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, you will freeze! But that is only because us californians are so pampered by the good weather. I am a baby when it comes to the cold, and even in LA, I would wear my uggs and a thick jacket in 60...

    cyaos replied to mewei's topic in School, College Programs

    I think the culture is quite different here. I can't say it's "better" or "worse," but here are some things I've discovered for myself here. 1. Way more walking/commuting/public transportation. It's a...

    cyaos replied to FentyNP's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    congrats handerson12! i'm in the same boat here. I was sort of set on going to Jefferson university (also local in Philly) assuming I was going to be waitlisted to Penn or something. Now that I'm...

    cyaos replied to mewei's topic in School, College Programs

    I think they said they accept about 115-120, and about 89 are matriculated into the program. I'm from California! But i moved out here about 2 years ago. It's going to take you a while to get used to...
