  1. Has anyone heard anything from perinatal? Thanx in
  2. I overheard the women who does the livescan say that only UCLA will be able to view the results of the livescan and the only thing we can call and ask about is if it came back clear or not. Hope that...

  5. Last Day of Nursing School

    Congratulations, how exciting! I graduate in June! I'm counting down the days; it's so close yet so far! My school also uses ATI; I take the predictor ATI in June. Any advice on how to
  6. UCLA Clinical Care Partner

    Does anyone work at UCLA as a Clinical Care Partner, also known as a CNA, or has in the past? On average, how many patients are you assigned a shift? What is your typical shift like? For nursing...
  7. My First Cry Today

    I remember my first lab check off, boy was I nervous! I was shaking, my stomach hurt, and I misinterpreted a comment my instructor made and burst into tears. I had to step out, take a break and...
  8. Hey, I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your post correctly but it sounds like you are planning on applying to all three campuses at once; if so, you cannot do that. You can only have on active...
  9. LA Harbor College Vs El Camino College

    Congrats! I graduated from El Camino (non-nursing degree) so that would be my top choice but there are many factors to consider. Which has a better NCLEX pass rate (I think it's El Co)? Which is...
  10. Hello fellow future nurses, I recently applied to National University for the cohort beging in October 2014 at the Los Angeles campus. I have read on other threads that National has made some changes...
  11. National University, SD October 2015 Cohort 44

    I was an alternate for my cohort at NU and it was my second time applying. The only difference between applying the first time and the second time is you can keep your TEAS score that you got the...
  12. I'm glad you were able to find a route that works for you. I wish you the best on your journey! If you ever have any questions, just ask. Also, just a side note, about half my cohort works, myself...
  13. Anyone else want to burn their statistics book?

    I thought about burning my med-surg book today but I decided it's best if I wait until after my final on Saturday. I didn't buy a book for stats but if I had, it would probably be at the bottom of a...
  14. Free time ... tell me again, just what is that?

    My program doesn't really break for the summer. We got a week off for the 4th of July, but it was smack dead in the middle of advanced med-surg and we had our midterm the first day back í ½í¸’....
  15. Sure, NU's BSN program is 22 months and about 43 grand. Each class is either one or two months long and you take one class at a time. Acceptance is based on a point system that includes pre-req GPA,...
  16. What nursing specialty interests you the most for the future?

    I'm about half way through my program; I just finished my advanced med-surg rotation at the hospital, I had 4 days in the ER and LOVED it. I'm still keeping an open mind because I haven't done my OB...
  17. First off, thank you for your service! Second, try and avoid spending so much for a BSN. You don't want to spend more on a BSN than what you'll make in a year as an RN. There are other nursing...
  18. ATI Med Surg Proctored Exam

    I just took and passed my Med-surg ATI last week. What I did to prepare was a ton of practice questions, probably around 500 practice questions over a 2 week period leading up to the exam. I would...
  19. What is your study schedule?

    To be completely honest I don't have one. My classes are only 8 weeks long and I work so I adjust my study time according the topic at hand and it varies week to week. If I have a strong foundational...
  20. What's your BSN schedule?

    My school doesn't go by semesters and we go to school during the summer. We take one class at a time which is nice and each class is 8 weeks. I have 2 more weeks of advanced med-surg. My schedule is...
  21. HELP! PlEASE! Drug Test False Positive

    I actually took a drug test today and on the paper work that I had to fill out, they ask if you have taken any prescribed or OTC medication in the last 30 days. There was a place on the form to list...
  22. Best route for getting into nursing?

    You may want to look into an Entry Level Master's Program. I'm not sure if there are any programs in your area but definitely look into it. Its a great way to get into nursing post-bachelors without...
  23. Does it matter whether I have an AA or AS degree?

    I graduated from a cc in May of last year with an AA in child development and an AA in social and behavioral science, I then transferred to a BSN program that fall. Now I'm just weeks away from...
  24. Waitlist

    I was an alternate for my program (alternate list is similar to a wait list). It was very stressful waiting the additional month to find out if I made it in or not. Three of us from the alternate list...
  25. How do I get thru waiting for acceptance/denial letters

    Maybe take a class... You can start taking general ed classes that will count towards your BSN. You can also work and save money for when you're in the program or volunteer at a hospital. I also...
