   OMG, I couldn't agree more with all of your accounts and stories about their disorganization. It's the same in the ELMSN program. We stopped believing anything they tell us. Especially when it comes...

   AlmostNurse90 replied to peggy3399's topic in California Nursing

   I would be nervous about it since the school of nursing is struggling in all of its programs. While it is awesome to be accepted into a program, and it is a huge milestone, I would highly suggest...

   AlmostNurse90 replied to AF2020's topic in California Nursing

   Yes, all campuses have problems placing students into clinicals. SMU competes for hospitals with UCSF, USF, CalState East Bay etc. however, SMU is notoriously last to the party and is unable to place...

   Unfortunately, I am. if you look at some other Samuel Merritt forums regarding the ABSN and BSN students etc, you’ll see other students also speaking up. I don’t want to come across as a single...

   Please, everyone who has not accepted.... find another option. They just pulled all preceptorships for the BSN and ABSN cohorts. The preceptorship won't be a thing anymore. This school will only suit...

    It doesn't matter if you are San Mateo or Oakland... SMU won't be able to provide preceptorships for you! They told our cohort that the larger idea is to phase those out completely and start calling...

    AlmostNurse90 replied to AF2020's topic in California Nursing

    This is from someone attending SMU... Definitely take Miami. SMU is known to accept more students than they can accommodate. What that means is, that if you are lucky you'll get 50% exposure to the...
