   Jaeby replied to stefanicow's topic in California

   @fancyeyes As a home hospital, Kaiser is where I will be for the entire program. Many hospitals are offered by the program and vary with each semester, including VMC and El Camino. Clinical rotations start with basic tasks delegated to the student at...

2. SJSU Fall 2014

   Jaeby replied to stefanicow's topic in California

   @fancyeyes Clinicals begin in second semester. My rotations are at Kaiser, which is a home hospital, so I'll be going there for the majority of the program. This prevents a student from experiencing a variety of hospital settings, but expedites paper...

   Jaeby replied to stefanicow's topic in California

   Greetings! I am a Fall 2013 applicant who was accepted into the program, and I came here to reassure that each and every one of you has a fighting chance. On using the new application, my impaction score was relatively low compared to all of yours. E...

   Congratulations! I'm so happy for you, too. Is your acceptance packet still in the mail? In that case, you can check the course of study on the nursing website for an idea of what classes you have to take. The acceptance packet will give you a calend...

   It just means you need to get your blood drawn to determine if you test positive for a desired immunity. The acceptance letter explains everything, so no worries. I reckon the background check needs to be done by the same date your response form and ...

   You turn in the health statement and titer results at the workshop, which is in August, so you've got until then to complete both. They only encourage you to do the latter ASAP, because the boosters can take up to weeks to finish (if you need to do t...

   BigCatMeows - I spoke with Student Health today. A physical exam for the nursing program is about $24/25. The lady wasn't sure, but she believes a titer costs about the same. Couple those with the drug screening test, and the total price is about a h...

   Oh, wow, you're right; it was $55. That totally got jumbled in my head. Thanks for the correction. BigCatMeows, I'll be consulting Student Health about the services come Monday, so I'll let you know about the prices sometime after then. And I really ...

   Background check was $75, if I recall correctly. Those two combined barely scrape the surface, too, given that the ATI order you have to place costs even more. You can do it with your family doctor, but you are required to submit a health statement s...

    Alas, you've gotta pee in a cup. Congratulations on getting in, by the way! As tphambam said, all you have to do is go to the second floor of the health building (the lab will be the first door to the left from the elevators). After that, you fill up...

    Jaeby replied to refresh's topic in California

    Don't worry about space for courses in the nursing program. They are designed to accommodate all 60 of us, plus one or two students that get held back a semester (if you fail even one course, you have to spend another semester passing it before you m...

    I'm actually not sure since I took a course at a community college. I'm inclined to say 10.75 or a little lower, as prior calculation put it at 10.68, though it's entirely possible I messed up unit conversion. Yours is 10.7, right? I have my fingers ...

    fa5tenough & Mayrajade21 - Check your mailbox! I got the same email and received an acceptance letter today. There's a chance you might have, too. I'll be attending SJSU for sure. Do we mail the response form back, or are we allowed to drop it of...
