Sutter extended campus

Anyone!? Really, I'm finding it odd that I've never come across anyone that is in this program. Is it top-secret?? Is anyone's sister's boyfriend's cousin's friend in the program?

Thanks for responding . Yes, I applied to the Sutter program for spring '09. Last year I was applying to other programs in the area, but was unable to apply to the Sutter program because the teas test date was on one of my manditory clinical days for my C.N.A. class. Now most of the programs require the teas test so thankfully there are more options for test dates. One of my main concerns about the Sutter program is the fact that it is accelerated and I wonder how much harder it is. At this point I'll take anything I can get though! Thanks again!!

Thanks again RNbound83 for all your insight! I've applied to AR, Sierra RN and LVN before they cancelled it, Sac City full and part time (I think they've cancelled that now too now), and Sutter. I actually prefer the lottery system as I think it is the most fair. I have good grades in my pre-reqs, but I'm a returning student with some bad grades from the past (15 years ago) that pull down my over-all G.P.A. I don't believe that should knock me out of the running forever. There has always got to be a chance to learn from our mistakes and make a come back in life. The programs that look at over-all GPA's might favor some people who may not be honest and withhold some of their past transcripts, which I also feel is wrong. I'd rather be cared for by an honest "B student" nurse who knows their stuff anyday . I do love how the Sutter program wants you to write a letter about why you want to be a nurse and has the instructor referal sheet. Nursing is definitely a 3-dimensional career and would be impossible to succeed at simply going off of grades alone. Still, with my over-all GPA... I am fully aware that I'm waiting on a miracle!

I never knew about Delta College. It's quite a drive, however I love the 11 month LVN option! I'll look into it. I'll need to get extra sets of my transcripts rushed to me... hmm I'll see if that will work. Also, I'm enrolled in Med term right now. It looks like it's a pre-req for LVN there so I don't know if I would qualify yet. I hope you get in!! November 11th is a very lucky day... 11/11... my daughter's birthday. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. You'll have to keep me posted. This is like our own personal thread now .
