1. USF spring 2011 BSN

   SFLady replied to Smarie7's topic in California

   @Avill.... It's true. It'll be 8 semesters. And no summer courses are offered. I was a transfer student and only took the USF required classes that you have to take at the campus (theology, philosophy, ethics). There's also two nursing classes that a...

2. Non-Traditional Students at University of San Francisco Fall Clinicals 2011??

   SFLady replied to SFLady's topic in California

   I'm definitely older. Just turned 34. And there are older students. A few mid-late to mid thirties. There's always at least a handful 'real adults' in the program so it made me feel better. I wanted to do accelerated too but I also need to work so th...

   SFLady replied to SFLady's topic in California

   Congrats!!! Are you going school F/T? I do like my classmates and school is great but its always nice to have a group of people who have been through the school of hard knocks :)

4. University of San Francisco BSN-DNP

   SFLady replied to littlegreenRN's topic in Post Graduate

   It's true that the economy isn't helping and with the saturation of those wanting to get into the nursing field, it makes the job search competition that more pressing. Currently, there are few places offering new grad job offerings but what's so gre...

5. Applying to nursing schools

   SFLady replied to smokeybear's topic in General Students

   I had a 3.6 when i transferred. Every program is different depending on which school you go to. USF has a unique program as it's more of a cohort program. It takes three years to finish the program as a transfer student but not all three years will b...

   HelenKay: Are you attending USF in the fall 2011??? Are you starting your clinicals next year?

7. Private School VS Community College

   SFLady replied to Francine Reed's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There are a few factors when considering a nursing program. All depends on what best fit your needs but the biggest two would be cost and time. Also try to consider what the pass rate of their students nclex exams. The nursing program is trying to pr...

8. Applying to nursing schools

   SFLady replied to smokeybear's topic in General Students

   You have a better chance if you have all of your prerequisites completed, not to mention saving more money by doing it that way. It's true that for most transfer students, myself included, they need to wait an entire year before starting clinicals at...

9. private school or UC/CSU?

   SFLady replied to janeee's topic in California

   As long as the school is accredited and has a relatively high pass rate for the NCLEX then it doesn't matter what the name is. I had a friend who was considering applying to a nursing school which was private with no waitlist nor essay application in...

    Hope to meet some of you on campus sometime.

11. Which do you prefer usf, sfsu, samuel merritt

    SFLady replied to futureERnurse89's topic in California

    I currently attend USF. The tuition is ridiculous, even with the scholarships and university grants, I still ended up taking out about $10k during my sophomore year (full-time status). Since I took my of my prerequisites and lower division courses, I...

12. Go for the USF BSN Program or wait for the SFSU BSN Program?

    SFLady replied to bombom's topic in California

    If you're able to get into SFSU, then I'd say DO IT!!! I'm currently at USF. I do love the program but it'll be costing me an arm and a leg when I finish the program. Also, I had to wait a year before I could start my clinical rotation. However, the ...

13. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    SFLady replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California

    I'm a transfer student and had to wait a year before I could start clinicals. If you want to start clinicals asap, then I could look elsewhere. If a spot happens to open up at the time of your admission then you're one of the the lucky ones. Otherwis...

14. USF Transfer Applicant from UC Davis

    SFLady replied to imoreno91's topic in California

    I'm a transfer student at USF. I think if you can make your personal AND supplemental essay stand out then your odds are much greater. I had a 3.5 gpa at the time of my application. I also completed ALL of my science requirements. Most applicants wil...

15. University of San Francisco BSN-DNP

    SFLady replied to littlegreenRN's topic in Post Graduate

    Good Luck with everything. I'm currently in the program and my stats when I applied a year ago as a transfer student was 3.5 gpa, which is average nowadays but I have a lot of work experience and had my personal statement revised at least 10 times be...
