Monrovia :) What about you?

no im starting in summer :) I got a phone call 3 days after my interview. I applied for fall though...like you I am starting sooner than expected but very excited :)

In terms of incomplete classes they estimated my grade based on reports from professors of those classes. And since I was getting around 95-100% for those classes they just assumed that I was going to get an A. so I got full marks on the prereq GPA section. I was admitted before my final grades came out. Hope that helps :)

wow that is so nice of you guys @happyperson2 !! I can tell its going to be an amazing program already with the great support past students are willing to give. I declined my csun spot for azusa pacific and cannot find students (apart from one student) willing to share their experience. You guys are very very lucky! :)

nursing school

it doesnt matter if you take the prereqs at community college even if you have a bachelors. the absn programs are quite picky with the prereqs. I had to retake all my classes except for one because my prereqs were done overseas and did not match perfectly with the course they require. Its annoying... but honestly because I have alreadt done similar classes and higher levels classes it made doing these classes in community college quite easy.

I agree with Bucky...nothing the lab can make will be as good as anything artifically made. I would try and save any good natural teeth you have...these are priceless. If you get implants make sure you invest in a good specialist... so many horror stories on general dentist thinking they can do everything

You will not be able to find fall 2014 FB group on your androids for some reason... I did manage to find it on my PC though... wonder why FB is making it so hard on us -_-

the nursing program is a 2nd bachelors/entry masters program. The school provides us with a 7 week residency program after the BSN portion... honestly this is the only school ive applied to that ive seen offer this "clinical residency". Heres its description: " The clinical residency is an internship clinical experiential program designed as a collaborative partnership between the School of Nursing and selected community in-patient health care organizations. This residency is an intensive preceptored clinical experience planned to ease the role transition from a student nurse to a beginning professional nurse in an acute-care setting. In addition, it enhances the skill and practice knowledge of the student in preparation for the RN licensing examination"

Whoops I mean the entire nursing program (which includes the 7 week residency) is $42,000. $20,000 difference in a nursing program is a lot.... but if people out there really think that a residency program helps get you a job then it may be worth it....especially in los angeles where there is apparently a 50% nurse unemployment rate (esp new grads:/) its a scarey thought thinking about being jobless for 6 months to 2 years after graduating... I havent started my nursing program yet. Trying to make my mind up between these two schools I have been accepted into :) congrats on your job offer! thats amazing :)

Hi everyone, One school I am looking at has a 7 week clinical residency after the program Another program doesn't, but this means that the program is 7 weeks shorter I know the job market is really tough at the moment so I was wondering if doing a 7 week clinical residency will help me get a job? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Hi everyone, One school I am looking at has a 7 week clinical residency after the program (this program cost around $42,000). Another program doesn't, but this means that the program is 7 weeks shorter (this program cost around $18,000). I know the job market is really tough at the moment so I was wondering if doing a 7 week clinical residency will help me get a job? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

I didn't get a time limit, I was told to take my time. But I hear other people having time limits... My prompt had nothing to do with nursing, it was basically about someone inspirational in my life (I'll leave it at that before someone beats me up on this forum haha), there is no right or wrong... and honestly, I do not know how important this prompt is because I had some terrible spelling errors (so use to using spell check, no spell check when its pen and paper!). They told me the point of the prompt was to make sure that people wrote their own personal statement, in the past people have written amazing personal statement/letters of intent, but then when they started the program the school realize they couldnt really write that well (opps!), so as long as you can string a cohesive sentence along I think you will be fine :)

Can't find the group :/

what caught me of gaurd was tge writing prompt... no one told me about this before hand and I was not mentally prepared for it!
