Samuel Merritt ABSN Spring 2013

U.S.A. California

Was looking around and couldn't find a thread for this.

Has anyone else applied to this program & which campus did you pick for first choice?

Would love to hear back from fellow applicants :)

It is my understanding that they are asking to then choose out of those applicants interested. I hope you are correct, but it didn't seem like a definite decision on their part at the moment to me.

For the loans, I spoke with a consultant and he stated it could take a week to longer depending how long it takes for the school to approve the cost. And, if you are needing a co-signer, who knows how long that could take.

Hi everyone,

I posted this on the ELMSN board, but thought I'd add it here too since I applied to both programs and was reading this board for ages too :)

Congratulations to those accepted/waitlisted! And good luck for those still waiting to hear. I have been trying to get everything on the checklist done and wanted to pass on some info.

For anyone who needs to get medical stuff done and doesn't have insurance, I found an inexpensive place here in Sac to get blood titers/physical/tb testing done. I'm sure it's against terms of use to say a name, but if anyone is interested feel free to pm me and I will tell you the name. I was freaking out at the cost of everything when I searched online, but was able to get all the stuff I needed done here for less than $200. I figured there was probably at least one other person on here who would be in the same predicament!

I saw some discussion about a facebook page but did not see that one was created. Is there a facebook page for the ABSN Sacramento 2013 class? I am now #7 on the wait list, so I thought it might bring me luck to join the facebook page :)

Also, for those accepted, was there a timeframe that you had to respond to their acceptance offer and notify them of your decision? Just wondering for those on the waitlist when we would hear if we were accepted.

I think you have a really good shot of getting in. Plus it doesnt start for another 3 months, right?I also dont think its a definite in. If it was a definite in, they would've told us by now.Have they started contacting people who got in San Mateo spring 2013 yet?Has anyone heard anything yet?

@JeninCA- The letter of intent had to be sent in by September 28 (today). Good luck to you!!

@BeezieGoGiants - Thank you!

Any other waitlisters out there? If so, what number were you and have you moved up? This waiting thing sucks. :)

JeninCA-- Best of luck to you! It is definitely possible to move up on the wait list. I tried creating a FB group, but in order to create it, you need to assign members (beside yourself).

How do I pm you? I have a question about the company that keeps record of immunizations, background check, and CPR status. I heard there is a company that we submit all of this information to and runs the check for nursing schools. Does Samuel Merritt use American Data Bank? or someone else?

Thank you

Sorry if this re-post at the bottom, trying to figure this out.

Oh sorry, I guess I need to post more before it will let me do private messages. I don't know about the company you mentioned. You can find the prospective student health form on SMU's website under health center. It just says to send this form in with a copy or your immunization records for certain shots or have your doctor fill it out. They didn't mention another company.I had to get titers for varicella, tb test, and the physical done and went to a place called Wellnessmart (I apologize if this is breaking rules mods- please remove if it is!) and got it done cheaper than anything else I found online.
