Unfortunately, I am in a very similar situation. Since I started nursing school, I have been looking forward to this semester of pediatrics and maternity. It has turned out to one of the worst semesters, and I can hardly believe what has happened t...
The program used to be only 2 years, but with the budget cuts, they eliminated the summer courses. So, yes, now it's 3 years. At least that gives the economy more time to turn around, and hopefully brighter job prospects upon graduation. I'll be s...
Hi everyone! There hasn't been a posting here recently, so I thought I'd check in! I'm also wondering if anyone who is starting in the January 2011 cohort (I'm in the Public Health cohort) has had their admissions status change. We were told that w...
Funjesssays, Thanks so much for the info! I signed up for the 14th, and hopefully I'll pass with a good enough score so I can avoid taking the GRE. Anything to avoid standardized tests--I'm saving up my nerve for the NCLEX! :)
To Lynn , I will be going to SFSU Generic Master's program, specializing in Public Health. I'm realizing that it will be beneficial to get a more advanced degree, particularly since I see myself going the NP route eventually. Also, there doesn't se...
Van Halen Fan, Thanks for the GET info! I also would MUCH rather take that then do the GRE. I totally agree with your point about wasting brain energy and stress over the rest of the GRE. Let me know what you find out about whether we can take the...
Hi everyone! I received an email from the SFSU program today. They mentioned the need to take the Analytical Writing Section of the GRE by semester six (of seven), and suggested taking it before classes start. I'm in the spring public health progr...
I got in too! Although the Public Health cohort doesn't start until Spring 2011. I was afraid of this possibility after reading posts from last year. I don't know if I want to wait that long. I've got some thinking to do... Good luck to everyone ...
I've been wondering that too. I had a friend who went through this program 4+ years ago, and left after the first year with her RN. I wasn't clear if she received a BSN too. Good question!
I am still waiting on my admission to the university. I went in last week to the admissions office to check on what was going on with my application. It turns out that one of my final transcripts hadn't shown up. I couldn't figure out what transcr...
Hi everyone, I've been following this thread as I am anxiously waiting to hear too! I finally broke down and called today. I was told that "it was up to the faculty at this point" and that "maybe" we'd hear next week. The person I spoke to did not...
I am still waiting on my acceptance from the school at large. I have sent final transcripts 3 times since November, and my status is still incomplete. I have heard that due to layoffs, the admissions office is totally overwhelmed. It's pretty frus...
