    grand_theft_avocado replied to Juj.M's topic in School, College Programs

    I would commit to SFSU over Samuel Merritt's June cohort in San Mateo any day. Same city, same start time, and only a smidge longer (15 months instead of 12) at half the price (40k vs 80k...a big...

    grand_theft_avocado replied to Juj.M's topic in School, College Programs

    Also, the fact that the clinical sites got cancelled doesn't mean the entire program needs to be cancelled or kept in limbo, which is what SFSU is currently doing. The curriculum is not 100% clinical...

    grand_theft_avocado replied to Juj.M's topic in School, College Programs

    I think it is completely strange that they are not even sending out admission decisions. Even if the start date needs to be TBD/TBA, they can still tell applicants if they got accepted or rejected....

    @Megumi Sasaki @rt94588 It seems like we are all getting different answers. I emailed the office on March 3rd, and they told me admission decisions will be released mid-April. Someone else said the...

    @klc Thanks for the input! I've been hearing all sorts of things about SMU ABSN's reputation, ranging from very good to absolutely terrible, and the lack of consistency is adding so much to my stress...

    I was about to start a new thread about this question, but thought I might as well ask it here for visibility. Is anyone concerned about the quality of the curriculum? The curriculum does not include...

  13. SFSU BSN Spring 2019

    grand_theft_avocado replied to milkteas's topic in School, College Programs

    Isn't the program supposed to start in Summer, not Spring? Or did the speakers at the information session give different details compared to what is on the

    grand_theft_avocado replied to HalfBoiled's topic in School, College Programs

    Supposedly, if the claims made by those institutions are to be trusted or taken seriously. (I'm personally a bit skeptical sometimes, because I am pretty disappointed in America's educational system...

  15. MSN working bedside nursing

    grand_theft_avocado replied to HalfBoiled's topic in School, College Programs

    But has anyone asked her directly about it, if she never explained herself voluntarily? I've been searching for various nursing programs, and I realized that depending on the state, it is sometimes...

    grand_theft_avocado replied to grand_theft_avocado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have, and when I researched the requirements, they said I would need 2-3 years of clinical experience. I thought that I would rather stick with nursing all the way instead of using nursing as a...

  19. Extremely Lost...Graduated with B.S. in Biology but Decided to Pursue Nursing

    grand_theft_avocado replied to grand_theft_avocado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've thought a lot about those 3-year "direct entry" masters programs that let people with non-nursing bachelors degrees to come out with both a BSN and MSN. I am weighing the pros and cons of...

    grand_theft_avocado replied to grand_theft_avocado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am interviewing for a couple of admin jobs in a local hospital, so my ideal short-term plan is to build work experience there, while taking care of any remaining pre-reqs that my BS doesn't cover. I...

    Thank you for sharing your backstory! For your scholarships, were you awarded them based on merit, or was it through FAFSA/gov aid? Also, when is the right time to ask an employer whether they/the...

    grand_theft_avocado replied to grand_theft_avocado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another question, is there an official recognized organization in the United States that "accredits" nursing programs, i.e. makes an official judgement whether a particular program is legitimate and...

    grand_theft_avocado replied to grand_theft_avocado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a question about all nursing degrees in general (anywhere from RN to MSN etc). Is nursing a field that actually cares where you graduated from? Do "good" programs have any influence on the...
