I'm starting this thread for those applying to Sacramento State's Traditional BSN program for Fall 2025. Let's use this space to share our experiences, questions, and support throughout the application process.

Those who got accepted as an alternate how long did they give you to accept your spot?

Good question.. anyone have an answer?

I was wanting to know when they stop accepting alternates because I am curious about the applicant pool statistics they post afterward. Does anyone know how your placements work?

Hi all who made it this cycle, 

Please make sure you look at the onboarding emails sent yesterday. I logged into my csus email and found a canvas course that walks you through the process. Alina is the point of contact for questions. I got placed at Mercy Hospital in Folsom for the first clinical rotation! Something is due on Monday. Sign up for my clinical exchange (mce).

Good luck!

ps you might want to get a doctor's appointment to make sure your vaccines are up to date and can do a physical and fit test. I have to do my TB test again it's outdated.

Class of Spring 2027,

Has anyone attended to the CB onboarding requirements and found the one for influenza immunization confusing? Canvas says immunizations are due on August 1st. In the CB account, it says it must be administered after August 1st. 

I have messaged the support email, but have not heard back yet. Anyone have a clue on this? 

Thanks.

"Per the Nursing Onboarding Advisement site, on the Clinical Requirements: Immunizations page, you are not to submit your flu shot documentation until it is due in the Fall. You will need to wait the 2025-2026 Flu season begins around mid-August to receive the vaccine and upload the proof of vaccination. This vaccination requirement is not subject to the overall August 1st deadline for all other requirements.”

Hi everyone! I just got in as an alternate. However I haven't received any information about the onboarding information yet. I just want to ask about the books. I already bought books that were required from a community college nursing program cause I was accepted there too. I am going withdraw the CC acceptance. I am not sure if Sac State requires different books cause if yet then I would have to return the books I bought from FA Davis so I can buy the ones Sac State requires. 

Would appreciate any help!! Thank you

Hi All, 

I was just accepted from the alternate list and I am soooo excited!! Has anyone started a Discord group? If so, I would love to be added, please. There's so much to catch up on in a short amount of time. 

Thanks in advance
