Hi! I went to the Monrovia campus and I am continuing on with the Masters :). Also, I just got a job in a new grad program! The job market is pretty competitive. I don't know how it is in SD... but I've heard it's very tough in SD!

I'm assuming that you got into the APU ELM program. I just completed the pre-licensure portion and I think that it is totally worth it. It will be a lot harder to get a job (especially a new grad program) when you get your license. Also, APU is very reputable in the nursing world. You can always wait and apply next semester. A girl in my class was able to transfer to the SD campus for her masters portion.. it's not guaranteed they will let you do that, but definitely possible!

Oops sorry left a long comment, but then realized it was in the wrong section!

Don't lose hope! My undergrad GPA was 3.1 and I didn't think that I would get into any programs because everyone told me schools heavily weigh grades. I just made sure that I did everything possible to make up for my poor GPA. I worked as a CNA, volunteered at a hospital, and volunteered at the nursing home I was working at. I also made sure that I aced all of my pre-reqs. I was not a science major, so all of my pre-reqs except for English were done at a community college and I was able to get As in all of them. If you work hard and show that you are a worthy candidate, schools will consider you! I got an interview at UCSF (which is one of the top programs in the nation), but didn't get in... and ended up getting interviews at 4/5 schools I applied to. I just finished the BSN portion of my program and am beginning the masters. Long story short... don't give up hope, you can totally do it if you're willing to put in the time and work!

I took both at Rio Hondo. The same instructor teaches both classes

Does anyone know what kind of scrubs nurses wear at Kaiser on Sunset? Do they all wear the same scrubs or are they allowed to wear what they want?
