Hi! I applied to the program too! I'm pretty anxious because the webpage is very vague; it doesn't say when we will hear back and May is fast approaching.

Hi! I applied to the program too! I'm pretty anxious because the webpage is very vague; it doesn't say when we will hear back and May is fast approaching.

I was told we would hear back by May 1st. I found out about the program just a few days before the deadline so I rushed to submit everything. It was a challenge trying to write a scholarly essay and get three LOR's that quick! When did you apply?

Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the info! I'm on the same boat, I found out about the program maybe 4 weeks before the deadline. I submitted my application March 29. Hopefully soon we get the good news! I wonder if many people applied?? Good luck :up:

Yes, I am in my last semester in the BSN program. I absolutely am so grateful for coming this far. There are excellent instructors who will guide you from start to finish. They really emphasize "upper/higher" nursing semester students to help the newbies; because nursing is a whole different process from "college" in itself and everyone (staff and nursing students) are truly all there to help each other out.

Clinical sites can go as far from Hanford area (in OB) to Tulare area (for areas of community health nursing) and some few sites in Madera area as well. The program itself has gone through a few changes but I don't know too much info about that....

Overall it is a great program. And as in all nursing school, be prepared to study and work hard. Oh...and make great friends early on...these are the people who will truly only really understand what exactly you are going through with nursing school :)
