UCLA RN-MSN Program???

Hey all, I am a recent grad of an LPN program out here in Massachusetts and am starting the RN program at a local college in a couple of weeks. I was able to test out of the first year of nursing school due to my current abilities and plan on going into an RN-MSN program directly afterward. Anyway, I am being hassled by my buddy to move out to L.A. and the idea doesn't seem too bad. I was looking online and saw UCLA had an RN-MSN program that is 3 years straight through (summer, fall, spring) and it didn't seem too bad on paper, pretty equivlent to what Northeastern and Boston College have out here. My question is, does anyone know anyone or have any person experience with this program or one like it? Any advice? Is this a program that is so demanding that I will not be able to work as an RN? Also, whats the job perspective for an ACNP in SoCal (job availability, pay, quality of life?). Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks everyone.

good luck!

Hi,

The nurse recruiter from the UCLA School of Nursing came to our school and talked about the RN-BSN-MSN program. She said in order to to start the three year program, you MUST at least have a one year working experience as an RN. She said it's a full time program, and she said many students who are in that program work part time, and some work full time, which she didn't encourage to do. She said it should be fine if you work part time.

Anyway, I'm interested in that program too, and I will be graduating this Dec. That means I can only apply end of year 2009 in order to get into Fall 2010...Sigh...seems like a long time! One good thing is, if you work for UCLA, they will pay 2/3 of the tuition fees.

I have the contact # and the name of the person in charge. If you want it, please send me a message.

Hope that helps!
