   Rachelynn,I'm half way through this program in San Mateo. The clinicals are all over the peninsula with majority of them in San Jose. The school does ask for student's preference but it doesn't always happen. A lot of us carpool, so I don't find it p...

   Hi, NishA I don't know what exact TEAS you consider low. Mine was 86% and I got in. I wrote pretty nice essays though and I also submitted my GRE score (even though it's only for Master's programs but I just thought it's better more than less). I als...

   Thank you, Sika. I had a feeling that our scrubs will be somewhat different. I guess, I'll wait until the orientation to try them on.

   Hey, guys from San Mateo campus. I still am available for a get-together sometime during weekends. This coming Sunday though I'm having a CPR class from 9 till 1 in San Francisco. So we could plan for April 28 or 29, which are Saturday and Sunday.

   Sika, I have a question for you if you don't mind. What uniform are we supposed to buy for clinicals? I saw a funny video on youtube with the nursing students from Samuel Merritt dancing in white scrubs. Do you know if we can buy those scrubs specifi...

   I started my application with Discover bank and they said that my interest would be 4.25% but it's variable somewhere between 2.5 and 10.5 or so. Also, I asked for only 23K... maybe the amount matters too.

   Eastbay: I had only 3 months of volunteer work at CPMC ICU and zero medical work experience. I volunteered 12 hours a week so I would be done by the application deadline, finished 100 hours. I speak another language and I sent 5 recommendation letter...

    pnlu007, you're right. The difference in the end won't be that big. I'm applying for all sorts of loans now. Maybe it won't be that bad. I also went to my Provident Credit Union. They don't give student loans but they offered me an interesting thing...

    Thank you so much for your advice, pnlu007! This is my second round of applications. Last year I had a pathetic #123 on the waitlist in the community college and this year two offers at the same time. I myself tend to sway towards SMU because of what...

    Can you believe it? I have a choice now. I got a congratulations letter from College of San Mateo (2 years, ADN, $2,500 for the entire program). Gosh, this is difficult. I asked around and nurses who I know are all saying to go to Samuel Merritt b...
