[SeeksTruth]

Hi everyone! I wanted to start a thread for those applying to College of the Sequoias this Spring. I'm applying with 75 points. Post your points and how many years you've been applying to nursing school. This is my first year.

Oh WOW congrats Abby!! You are on your way ? glad all of us Fresno City gals finally got our acceptances!!

I graduated December 2023 and now have been working as an OR nurse for 10 months. Don't let anyone tell you can't do what you want to do. I literally did everything in my power to make sure I got to be where I wanted. I did a 10 month nurse externship in the float pool which helped me in clinical and then 10 months as an anesthesia tech in the OR, I also shadowed surgeons and built connections in various OR's in the area. I actually ended up interviewing at one of my clinical sites because I was connected with the board runner through school. Got offered the job on the spot, also not in a new grad residency and they support my career goals (RNFA). 

I'd love to end up back in California but for all the education I require I have to commit at least 5-7 years where I am. I love where I work but do not like Tennessee.
