    Cal State San Marcos ABSN Fall 2018

    BiscuitStripes replied to inkabruce's topic in School, College Programs

    To the best of my knowledge, you can apply whenever and they will evaluate what you have done; however, if you do not have all of your prerequisites done, you will not be assigned an admissions score...

    Cal State San Marcos ABSN Fall 2018

    BiscuitStripes replied to inkabruce's topic in School, College Programs

    There are other associated fees to factor in, but tuition alone throughout the program is $599 per unit. If you are starting in fall, your summer semester would be 14 semester units. 14 Units x...

    "yaaaay! Congrats!" I think 26 is actually very young for WGU pre-licensure, I'd venture to say you're probably going to be one of the youngest ones in your cohort....just saying. Anyways, congrats...

    Cal State San Marcos ABSN Fall 2018

    BiscuitStripes replied to inkabruce's topic in School, College Programs

    I would wait to get the official acceptance letter from the school. Just my opinion. The change of status on the student center is a good sign so you're probably okay, but it's not official until you...

    April 2018 California Cohort

    BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Western Governors University

    Poor for acute care. I have heard of new grad ADNs currently in a RN to BSN program get hired at an acute care hospital but only if they knew someone and had a hook up. Most new grads fighting for...

    April 2018 California Cohort

    BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Western Governors University

    I couldn't trust their program. There's not even a guarantee that once you finish the 6 month preclinical that they'll have a clinical spot for you. Their selection process and how the program works...

    Dropping the "Nurse Card"?

    BiscuitStripes replied to RNJay_'s topic in General Nursing

    Um, yeah this is almost completely inaccurate. Courteous, calm, non-threatening, sure most cops are more likely to give you a warning if you act like that instead of being an argumentative jerk....

    Dropping the "Nurse Card"?

    BiscuitStripes replied to RNJay_'s topic in General Nursing

    Lots of posts on here, so I did not go through all of them; however, I have been a police officer for 8 years and am an ABSN student. I'm skeptical when people drop what they do right off the bat....

    There are priority deadlines for admissions. The priority deadline for the Fall 2018 semester was March 16, 2018. The students who applied prior to that deadline will have received priority over...

    WGU So Cal August Cohort

    BiscuitStripes replied to JD2RN's topic in Western Governors University

    According to my portal, I was admitted, but I have not been contacted by WGU. Regardless, I already started a different program so I'll be denying my admission if they actually contact

    Yes first semester is 2-3 classes. You must take bioethics/medical ethics, and cultural of medical healers and practices. The only exception is if you've already taken these classes at CSUSM. The...

    MSN Reputation: WGU vs. West Coast

    BiscuitStripes replied to lrobinson5's topic in Western Governors University

    I know a west coast BSN grad who had to work for a while in a LTC/SNF before a hospital finally gave him an opportunity. Only thing we can blame it on is his BSN from West Coast

    No the $50,000 doesn't include housing. If you qualify for the $12,500 a year the most the school will certify for you for private student loans is another $22,400/yr. so that would be $25,000 federal...

    Yes to an extent it depends on how much in previous student loans you currently have, as there is a cap on how much you can take in federal financial aid in your lifetime. The school never gives...

    WGU So Cal August Cohort

    BiscuitStripes replied to JD2RN's topic in Western Governors University

    From what I have been told from an authoritative source at WGU, there are two cohorts for August at different partner hospitals. I would only imagine WGU would put you in the cohort with the closest...

    BiscuitStripes replied to JD2RN's topic in Western Governors University

    Thanks, best of luck to you. I'm still in the process with WGU but already accepted a seat at a different ABSN program and will likely attend that program, even if I get into WGU, since WGU has been...
