Hello Everyone~ I'm in LA and finishing up my last pre-req and getting set to apply for a fall start. I was wondering does anyone on here know much about Los Angeles Trade Tech's RN Program? Thanks for any info! Michelle

Do any of you know about Wallace Community College near Dothan? My parents live there and say that they don't have enough students going into the nursing program there! Something about an ad in the newspaper trying to recruit students to the nursin...

Hello All~ I've been plugging away at my GE & pre-reqs for the ADN program at Rio Hondo College. I was just wondering if anyone new if there was a waiting list for the program. I'm taking 16 units a semester right now so that I don't have any ot...

Hello Fellow Nail-Biters! Well, it's my second time around applying for Los Angeles County-USC Hospital Nursing Program. I have to say, I felt torn about not getting in for Spring 07. When waiting for a letter in December I had major anxiety about s...

I'm sorry, I couldn't read anymore without responding. Daytonite is totally taking the original down a path that I don't believe was the point. Soon 2 B Nurse, you had a completely heartfelt reaction to something that you'd seen for the first time....

Hi Veronica It's good to hear from someone out there that's in the same boat. I've got a 3.8 also, isn't that crazy that's still not good enought to get us right in? Well, probably is...but there's 500 other people with a 3.8 too. Well, God's got a...

I was wondering if those of you fresh out of school could suggest some good reference materials to read while waiting for the 1st semester of the program to begin. I don't have any of my textbooks for the program yet, but I thought some of you may ha...

Hello Everyone in the Dallas Metro Area! My husband is looking to relocate back to the Frisco/McKinney area (possibly even Rowlett) after being in California for 3 years. At the time I was there I was just considering the nurse thing, and have since ...

Jamie~ Do you know any area community colleges (at least in a 1 driving distance from the area) that maybe aren't as crowded as others. I hear El Centro has a great reputation - but what does the waiting period seem to be because of be so impacted w...

Congrats! You must be so excited! I have a question though if you don't mind. We're looking at relocating back to Texas and I was wondering if GP (or other driving distance community colleges) are impacted like here in California. I'm done with a...

Hi Everyone! Just wondering if any of you that tested at the L.A. County-USC Nursing Program got your test results sending you on or out of the 2nd round! I got mine and passed all sections, moving me onto further consideration at least. They won't ...

Yes, you're right. USC no longer has a BSN program, however the USC-L.A. County Medical Center has an ADN program run directly thru the medical center. They admit about 50 students every Fall & Spring. You have to complete your general at any ...

Hello everyone, I'm not a newbie, but more of a lurker. I've posted a few, but really have more fun reading what's out there as I wait for acceptance letters for Jan. 07 Anyway, here's a question for everyone. There is so much resistance in re-eval...

I am so glad someone has brought this up. I don't know about getting more respect, although at this point I'm up for anything. However, I do agree with professionalism that the all white "nurse" uniform has a certain status in my mind. I agree wit...

Yeah they do rock! I'm in the Los Angeles area and the pay is awesome (cost of living is totally ridiculous). The women have made great progress with new contracts implemented with great raises & upgraded benefits. So they are definately kicki...

Urrgghhh! I'm sitting on pins and needles too! Our deadline for the L.A.-USC County Program was 9/15 also. Get this...they said they usually get the letters out the first week of DECEMBER! How nerve racking is that? I feel confident out the entra...

Hello All~ I know I've seen this question asked millions of times on the board, but now that it actually applies to me I'd like more info. I live in Los Angeles County, looking to work at USC Medical Center, Children's Hospital of LA or somewhere dow...

I'm looking into oncology or med/surg night shift.

I thought I saw a thread on here earlier this week that someone had posted that El Centro didn't have a waiting list for their RN Program. Is it true? I thought all the community colleges in the metroplex and surrounding areas were impacted with too...

I know this varies for all the different programs, but I was wondering if anyone knew about the L.A. County/U.S.C. Medical Center RN Program inparticular. I am completely finished with my g.e. so I will only be doing the program itself. Does anyone ...

Thanks so much for the reply. I was just wondering, is it clinicals Mon & Th or Mon thru Thurs? And if it is Mon thru Thurs, when are lectures? I'm sending off my app on Monday for the Jan. 07 start date. Congrats to you! Are you going to stay...

Geez ladies! Put down the shotguns already! If you're offended by the post -don't respond and move on. I find it more insulting the arrogant 'you should know better' attitude from you mother hens out there. We all know that a "true" nurse is one ...

Hello All~ This is only my second post as I finish up my last pre-req this summer and apply for the Los Angeles County School of Nursing & Allied Health RN Program. Is anyone familiar with it or currently enrolled. I've attended orientation sess...

Yes, I'm applying for a start date of Jan. '07. I believe all apps must be in no later than Oct. 15 and there can be no in-progress pre-reqs. I'll finish phys. this summer and apply! I am doing the RN program. ~Good Luck Michelle

Hey Mark~ Just wanted to say thanks for all your updates on current nursing issues. These lawsuits to pertain to California! We should know what is happening around the country anyway. If any precedent is set somewhere else - all the more power we ...
