Is anyone applying to the Fall 2012 program ? I have a few questions and I think it would be good to share our concerns regarding the application process here.

I am a preschool teacher and I am applying for 2012. Have very little healthcare volunteer experience and wondering if that really maters. I have some experience looking after a family member who had a stomach surgery and chemo.

Not yet, but I think it's getting close. My friend who's currently in the MECN program said one of her classmates was #29 or so last year and still got in, albeit pretty late into the summer. I'm waiting it out!

So I emailed and asked how far down they were on the waitlist. She replied and said that I was next in line. I was so nervous and excited! Then a couple hours later I received a call that I was admitted!!!!! I am so excited and happy!!!!!! I was number 22. I am planning on taking Nursing 50 in the summer as well.

Vgirlie163: CONGRATS!!!! You must have been stoked!!!

Travelergirl12: That must be exciting news for you, I am so sure you will be admitted. I am not too far away from you so that makes my chances much more promising. I hope am right behind you!

Keep us posted if you hear from UCLA...

I would still like to know the next number???? If anyone knows please share....

travelergirl12: Indeed, i contacted them this morning...

I am in the 30's but I didnt apply anywhere else so i put all my eggs in one basket. I fell confident enough to do so... I just want to get through my career and start working, living in LA it's very expensive... All my roommates have obtained their Master's degree (different fields) and they lead a very comfortable life.... Which puts a lot of pressure on me... Plus currently, I am an intern in Infection Control and Prevention at a hospital, which I absolutely LOVE. I work with 2 nurses that have an MSN and I love their job and the the hospital setting... I get to interact with patients, read charts, and do rounds... All this and my prior volunteer/intern experience have solidified my desire to get an MSN...

I just gave you a quick intro... I really like this blog and how most of us are very supportive, it gives me a good sense of the program and the students... I hope we all make it...
