I've negotiated a group discount for the Live Fitzgerald NP Boards Review Prep, and they said that it is not restricted to just the school. I wanted to pass this along since we are all broke students! In order to secure their seats we will need to re...

Yes! Thank you for posting this. I've been told by older nurses who aren't NPs that I need nursing experience. And by NPs that I don't. Good to know that you don't need RN experience to be hired as a primary care FNP!

Hello, I am entering a nursing grad program in the fall and have questions about the HRSA app. I took all my prereqs after graduating undergrad and got a 4.0 on those. What do I put as my cumulative GPA? And for the scholarship, how much do they usu...

Does each unit do hiring and orientation at different dates? Or is there a set hiring and training cycle for new grads across the entire hospital?

Hello! I've heard nothing but GREAT things about MGH IHP but the glass-half-empty side of me is wondering if there are any cons to the program. How's the quality of the preceptors the school sets up? How's the job outlook after graduation? How long d...

Hi all, I couldn't find the thread to this, and since the deadline had passed, I'm wondering if anyone else here applied for the program! I need to complete pathophysiology (online) before the start of the school. Can anyone recommend a cheap school ...

Hi all, I'm new to allnurses and haven't seen a thread on Western yet for 2015. Just wanted to start it to see who else is applying so we can all give each other moral support! I saw that every year the application deadline is postponed? Do you think...

Hi all, I saw the thread for the BSN Basic program, and wanted to start this one. I'm taking the TEAS on 12/20 for the first time (eek!) because I had to take the GREs for my other apps. I saw that the BSN Basic program has a point system. Does the A...

Hello! My roommates and I found a place near the shuttle. We are looking to rent out the living room for very cheap. We are looking for those in the MEN program since we plan to live there for the entire program. Please PM me if you're interested!

^ I wouldnt suggest downtown. The nice areas are really expensive, with 2 bedrooms ranging from $2000-$4000 a month. It is minutes away from skid row and it isn't somewhere I'd feel safe walking at night. Also parking is minimal all around. Great pla...

Hi everyone! I went to high school a rock's throw from csula and live around the area so feel free to PM me about where to live etc. I actually recommend living in Alhambra. Supermarkets and food in the 626 are VERY cheap and there is great Mexican f...

^email her

She called me back and said we would need to make a decision by next Monday. There is no deposit $$ to submit- just a decision. I'm still debating between this and JHU so I gotta think long and hard. Ah!!! So happy though!

I called the number back and it is the general csula number. Darn! I didn't get a message!!

Ah! I think I just missed a call from them. I can't call until after work. Did she leave a voicemail @jackbandit?

Whoa. It is happening! When do you have to submit the deposit? And was it from a 323 number?

I'm going to give up my spot! I got into one of my top choice programs and was holding out for western in case it would give some sort of scholarship.

2:59 PM

I had the first interview date!

I just got my acceptance email! It says we would have to pay the $500 deposit by April 3. There's no mention on scholarships.

Yeahh seems like only those Early Admissions Day attendees heard back about being accepted, and then others heard about being rejected..

Are we expecting a phone call or email??

@jess674 are you in the absn program? And I called fin aid and graduate programs don't have any need-based scholarships or grants.

Hi all- I got my financial aid packet today through ISIS and it was very disappointing. It was all loans and a minimal (1%) amount in work-study. Was yours similar?

Thank you for answering my questions. I did read through the 40 page packet, but wanted to get further clarification on the points I was unclear about. I understand that this is a huge commitment and that is why I'm making sure I understand everythi...
