hi russian girl, remember that the GPA in BA is calculated based on the last 60 sem/90 qtr units. also, since you have a very high GPA for pre-reqs, it shows that you have the potential and are committed to achieving academic excellence. i sincere...

russiangirl, the application evaluation criteria given to us at an open house earlier this year include the following two related to grades: 1. minimum GPA of 3.0 or better in academic courses (last 60 sem/90 qtr units of BA/BS) 2. minumum grade of ...

i thought about taking it at long beach but decided the extra $100 would be worth it for a better prof (hopefully) and online option. it starts end of june. are you planning to take the nursing fund class in torrance too? good luck!

prior to receiving kathy's email, i was under the impression that a faculty member in the school of nursing will teach the class. but i guess not. i've been calling other facilities for the CNA cert class (torrance is a long commute for me) but the...

i feel for you out of town ppl... maybe you can work out housing to start in aug -- since you'll be here for the epi final and nursing fundamental class... just curious, anyone know any stats about the 2006 starting class? e.g. how many ppl, etc? i ...

hi guys, i have some info on the epi class at UCLA... http://www.ph.ucla.edu/EPI/10006s/10006s.html the online option (2) requires only a 3hr in-class final (100% of grade) on aug 3rd. i think the easiest thing to do is email [email protected]....

i got a call as well. and i will be taking summer school. that online option for epidemiology is looking really good right now... esp since i don't wanna brave LA traffic 3 days a wk. UCLA students do not need to pay the $300 reg fee but we need...

anyone else hear from UCLA MECN yet?

Yes. It's as weirdowack says -- it's just another MSN. The only difference from the existing MSNs is that this is NOT an advance degree, whereas the traditional MSN degrees have specialties of CNS or NP. Supposedly, this type of program is great ...

pattchez, thx for your reply. you make a lot of sense! i agree that CNS or NP programs is probably the best return on investment, but for someone who is doing a career change, it seems that CNL track can help that transition. I already have a BA a...

well, i've put down my deposit since this is the only school i applied, even though i am still deciding. i wonder how many ppl just do their 1st year pre-licensure and get their RN but do not continue w/ their master's portion. I am a little worrie...

pattchez or anyone one else, i've been looking a lot into the CNS vs NP issue. but also came across a more recent CNS vs CNL (clinical nurse leader) issue. seems like CNL is so new that there is no certification for it yet. does anyone have any i...

Thanks, Louise... I am leaning toward going there but then again I am going back and forth a lot lately. Plus I am not sure what my chances are for UCSF so waiting another year just to be rejected in order to say that I tried does not sound appealin...

jeepgirl, my heart goes out to you when i read your post. please take care of yourself... you're busy taking care of other people but YOU deserve to be happy too. i hope everything works out! kim

CONGRATULATIONS, janony! I am sure it will all work out now. It's exciting to see that you have arrived (even if it's just getting started...) esp when I started following your posts going through some of the same emotions you were. I have a ques...

Thanks for the blurb. In my research, I've found CRNA programs in southern california would only take BSNs into their applicant pool. I wonder what's the motivation to do MSN? I do not know what I would specialize in or if I will. I don't want to ...

hi guys, can you offer any insight on which is a better option: accelerated BSN or direct entry MSN? i know both offer options for RN licensure during the program but what are the pro/con of these two options? thanks, kim

hi guys, first, thanks for this great thread. i've been feeling very uneasy about changing my world upside down -- you guys have been so inspirational to me. i am another newbie interested in applying to the direct entry MSN programs. i am starting...

sunnyjohn, thanks for your reply. can you indulge my ignornance for a few more seconds? if i do not attend any college right now, how would i go about getting credit for the online A&P classes? must i enroll in a college, transfer the credit f...

Hi, I am a newbie, exploring nursing as a second career. Can you tell me how to go about finding online courses for A&P prerequisites? I would love to not have to quite while I finish my prerequisites before applying for my accelerated BSN/MSN....

Hi, I am also researching on my route to becoming a CRNA. I found that I can do an accelerated BSN (2yrs) or accelerated MSN (3yrs). I understand most CRNA programs is attached to a Masters so a prior accelerated MSN degree may not be the best opti...
