    sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School, College Programs

    I have not switched, but a handful of people in my cohort have. the reason you pick a specialty is because it prepares you to be a cns in that specialty. everyone besides the admin track take the same...

    What do you mean you "got charged" for housing? You don't pay for housing through SFSU unless you live in SFSU housing. Tuition is about 5k/semester. Books and supplies are expensive and not included...

    Perhaps they misunderstood your question or you misunderstood their answer- you can absolutely be admitted still after orientation happens. Maybe they just meant that was a pretty significant event...

    sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm pretty sure you have to set it up on your own and I think the recognition is that you are a licensed RN?

    sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School, College Programs

    You will follow the road map. It tells you all the classes you'll be taking each semester. Someone will reach out about it. Registration is just like any other college, as in you have to register...

    sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School, College Programs

    It's just about 30k. 10k per year, 5k per semester. Crazy affordable when compared to similar programs. I paid for this first year entirely out of pocket. It's worth the wait considering you won't...

    sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School, College Programs

    There's always people who back out after accepting too, especially since this program doesn't require a deposit to hold your spot like some do. So all hope is not lost once the list is 'finalized'....

    sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School, College Programs

    A master's degree in nursing is a good idea if you're interested in a leadership role in the future. It does not really impact your role as a regular nurse. I have not heard anything about being able...

    sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School, College Programs

    Ignore registration dates. There are only so many people in the nursing program so you do not have to compete for spaces in classes. You will get an email about what classes to register for, probably...

    sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School, College Programs

    They tell us we can't. They don't award us our BSN until after our 3rd year, at the same time as our MSN. So if we pass the NCLEX we will be RNs but not have a degree. A lot of places won't even hire...
