  1. Best hospitals in SoCal?

    UCLA Medical Center and Kaiser Permamente are great hospitals, if you can get in. The previous posters are correct, the market is tough right now out here, you can't always afford to wait out for the...
  2. LVN Schools - Mostly trade schools?

    Is your focus LVN right now? If not, Victor Valley Community College has a ADN program (My grandmother wanted me to go there so I would be close to her). I don't know the specifics about the program...
  3. Has National University ABSN Improved?

    Hi, I currently attend NU's BSN program but not the San Diego campus. For me personally, I'm really enjoying my program and am learning a lot. The time flies by, I already only have just under a year...
  4. Questions to Ask During and Interview

    Not all areas of California are like that. I know students who attend my university but are a couple of cohorts ahead of me and they have jobs waiting on them once they graduate. Also, I know a few of...
  5. Hi, I am currently waiting on an acceptance (or denial) letter form National University BSN program at the Los Angeles campus. I applied to cohort 11 that starts in May 2014. Anyone else applied for...
  6. Applying to more than one college in the LACCD?

    If you are trying to apply to the school in general then you really only need to apply to one school in the district and then you are in the system and can take classes at any of the campuses. As for...
  7. Accelerated vs. Traditional Program

    I have my general ed complete already (I graduated from a CC last spring and then transferred into my BSN program this past fall). As for upper division electives, I competed some simultaneously with...

    National
  9. Accelerated vs. Traditional Program

    I do not have a previous bachelors degree, yet I am in a ABSN program. Although most of my classmates have a previous bachelors, not all of us do, but there is a rumor that my university will make a...
  10. I'm not sure what area of California you're in but there are a couple of ADN programs in Los Angeles. I believe Los Angeles Trade Tech is first come first serve (so if you qualify and meet the...
  11. Moving to california

    Look into the local school districts such ad Long Beach, Alhambra, Compton, and Torrance. They have been hiring recently for health assistants and aides for their special needs students. Most...
  12. Moving to Cali

    Hi Grace4life, I have to agree with the previous posters, LA is not all its made out to be on the t.v. and magazines; I personally cannot wait till I graduate next year and am able to move. With that...
  13. Fill the gap, easy beneficial class

    During the semester prior to beginning my BSN program, I took classes that allowed me to get an AA in child development and social /behavioral science. I found these classes interesting. Many if them...
  14. Deciding on doing an accelerated nursing program

    Good luck on your nursing
  15. Deciding on doing an accelerated nursing program

    Thanx! The greatest improvements in my overall admission score came from my TEAS V and essay score. The first time I applied, I caught a stomach bug and was in no shape to sit for 4 1/2 hours to take...
  16. Deciding on doing an accelerated nursing program

    I just started the program this past fall, our next quarter starts in Monday. So far so good, but it's still pretty early in the program. A little more than half my class, myself included, work as...
  17. Four years to earn an ADN :/

    I don't know what state you're in but have you considered a BSN program? Many take 2 years to complete once all pre-reqs and general eds are done. Some are expensive but there are some reasonable...
  18. Deciding on doing an accelerated nursing program

    Hi, I do not have a previous bachelors degree but I am in accelerated BSN program. I don't really know what you mean by late college years... But individuals in my program range from ages if 21-50's....
  19. Yea, I think most nursing students struggle with finding a schedule that works for them. One of my professors said she did a evening nursing program but that was like 30 years ago and they really...
  20. Nursing School Question

    Ok, I see. I would just stick it out at the program you're already at unless you have a real concern about the program that could affect your future in nursing. We don't have a class called...
  21. I completely understand how you feel. I don't have a previous bachelors degree but for a long time I was almost anti-ADN. I figured why go to school for 2 years just to get an ADN when I get a BSN in...
  22. Going from a University TO a CC?

    I would say it depends on the community college you choose to attend. I went to about 3 different community colleges to complete my pre-reqs and I literally saved thousands of dollars compared to what...
  23. Nursing School Question

    It depends, why do you want to transfer to another program? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what type of nursing program are you in and which class are you going to have to
  24. Maybe you should apply to both programs, see where you get in and make your decision from there. It's good to give yourself more options and a little wiggle room. National was always my first choice...
  25. Yea, the orientation fee is pretty steep but I heard that it's pretty high at a lot if the universities. WGU is rare in its low price but the catch is they're not WASC accredited, so I guess all...
