<p>Does anybody know anything about the new (fall 06) program at UCLA that allows you to get a BS in nursing? </p>

<p>I'd like to know if it's extremely selective for application and if it's possible to change into that major if I were to be accepted. (I initially applied as a biology major)</p>

<p>It's extremely selective. I don't think you can just transfer in at will, there must be some very intense process.</p>

3

<p>well it's also a new program so...
they've got to accept people to get it started! xD</p>

<p>They used to offer the program years and years ago but stopped it because it was under funded. The "new" program has been in the works since 2004.</p>

<p>i'm not sure about how it is now since there's more applicants, but when i applied last year, the process wasn't TOO selective. about the same as regular admissions for UCLA...just make sure you have a good essay about why you want to enter the nursing profession in your statement.</p>

<p>i got into UCLA as psych first, and then applied for the program when it opened. i'm not sure about transferring in, but i don't think it'd be a huge problem.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>do only women pursue the nursing major, or is the pop. half and hlaf gender wise?</p>

9

<p>I have a few friends who are in the nursing program right now. They tell me that it is predominantly female (definitely not half and half).</p>

<p>..that shouldn't stop anyone from applying though! :D</p>

10

<p>there were three guys, and fifty something girls. one guy dropped out, so now there's only two in the BS program.</p>

11

<p>haha, i was planning to apply for nursing, now that its 2:50; no way lol. would be kinda uncomfortable.</p>

<p>dude, if you feel passionate about it, go for it. :rolleyes:</p>

13

<p>Male nurses get paid more.</p>

14

<p>for the most part, male <em>insert any career here</em> get paid more unless women are severely underrepresented.</p>
