  1. CSULA 2015 ABSN Program

    Get2theChoppa replied to snailszy's topic in California Nursing

    I know only one cohort member who works 100% full time. I think others either do not work or only do part time. The full timer does not have a whole lot of free time. Any time she does have is spent...

  2. CSULA 2015 ABSN Program

    Get2theChoppa replied to snailszy's topic in California Nursing

    Did you speak to the program director when you interviewed? That information is incorrect. Our current syllabi all state a C and above is required for passing each class, while a B average 3.0...

  3. WCU

    Get2theChoppa replied to jmmontoya1991's topic in California Nursing

    Some people in hiring positions won't even look at resumes from WCU job applicants. Other hospitals black list those resumes due to experiences with graduates from the past. From what I understand,...

  4. Best West Coast BSN Programs?

    Get2theChoppa replied to Smwright19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a student at CSULA in the ABSN/ELMN program, not the BSN program, but I have nothing but good things to say about the program itself. Any problems I've encountered are with the school (fin aid,...

    Get2theChoppa replied to ShondaJ's topic in California Nursing

    You make an impossible request for reasoning, ICUman. People who go to WCU rationalize their

  6. ADN with a BA

    Get2theChoppa replied to dcwang's topic in California Nursing

    I would say if an ADN program is a back up plan that's fine. But your #1 choices should be elmn or absn

  7. ADN with a BA

    Get2theChoppa replied to dcwang's topic in California Nursing

    Personally, I don't know of any ADN programs that are less than 2 years in California. A B.A. doesn't really get you more credits because the only credits schools look at are the science pre-reqs and...

  8. West Coast University

    Get2theChoppa replied to ElizabethTonoyan's topic in California Nursing

    The exception, not the rule. I've heard you say this before. Depending on the floor a nurse is on, she may never use certain skills. You'll find IV insertion and foley caths common in L&D, but you...

  9. West Coast University

    Get2theChoppa replied to ElizabethTonoyan's topic in California Nursing

    I don't believe one's educational background is a protected entity like race. Employers are not suspicious of WCU just for the sake of it. Employers have experience with student nurses and/or...

  10. West Coast University

    Get2theChoppa replied to ElizabethTonoyan's topic in California Nursing

    No. WCU has earned the reputation it has. Potential employers view WCU they way they do because of their experience with WCU graduates. It is a buy-your-degree

  12. All accepted CSU nursing students

    Get2theChoppa replied to sallyhahah's topic in California Nursing

    I applied to UCLA MECN and CSULA's ABSN/MSN program. I'm not sure what you're looking for, but just hard stats: 3.6 GPA in undergrad 3.8 GPA for MA degree 4.0 science prereq grades TEAS: 90th...

  15. Applying to UCLA MECN to start Fall 2015?

    Get2theChoppa replied to ceecoxy's topic in California Nursing

    I'd say it's pretty important. I don't think there's anybody without volunteer/work experience who got in. At UCLA's info session, the advisor said it was important. That being said, there's probably...

  16. Best West Coast BSN Programs?

    Get2theChoppa replied to Smwright19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that is the case with all CSUs. CSULA and CSULB accept students every year. They only have waitlists in terms of people getting into the program if someone who did get in declines. Once...

  17. Applying to UCLA MECN to start Fall 2015?

    Get2theChoppa replied to ceecoxy's topic in California Nursing

    Talk specifically about your patient interaction. What was the patient's problem--how did you solve it--what was the result--how is it related to you're wanting to be a nurse? I can't say that I know...

  18. Applying to UCLA MECN to start Fall 2015?

    Get2theChoppa replied to ceecoxy's topic in California Nursing

    It might depend on where you volunteer. Could have just been that the CE volunteers I spoke to had a bad experience at their hospital. One girl said that the college kid managers would criticize her...

  19. Charles Drew University ELMSN FAll 2013

    Get2theChoppa replied to lovelyme12's topic in California Nursing

    I am not a student of the school, but I have a friend attending. I've heard his opinions as well as the opinions of those in his cohort. It's a mirror of what snhelm said. If you can, find some CDU...

  20. Should I go for UCLA or stick to my local Cal State U?

    Get2theChoppa replied to M.Nurse's topic in California Nursing

    In the nursing field, big name schools like UCLA help with first jobs, but after that hiring mangers are looking for breadth of experience. Any Cal State or California university is

  21. Applying to UCLA MECN to start Fall 2015?

    Get2theChoppa replied to ceecoxy's topic in California Nursing

    Why don't you call, and ask the supervisors of the program? They were helpful when I applied. For the record, I followed the directions on the website, so my essay was exactly 3 pages double spaced....

  22. West Coast University

    Get2theChoppa replied to ElizabethTonoyan's topic in California Nursing

    People who point out the school's drawbacks are not doing so with the sole purpose of being negative or discouraging. They are actually trying to be helpful because they believe there are better paths...

  24. West Coast University

    Get2theChoppa replied to ElizabethTonoyan's topic in California Nursing

    I thought I'd take the time to say, that I am not bashing the school. I am reporting on the data available to me about the school. A school with an NCLEX pass rate in the 70's is not all that great....

  25. Actual West Coast University California student input needed!!

    Get2theChoppa replied to ShondaJ's topic in School, College Programs

    Again, I can't understand why the opinion of a nurse manager (who is in a hiring position) who says WCU students are weak on skills is not a legitimate opinion. I'd say it's important for potential...
