  1. San Francisco State University (SFSU) Entry Level Master of Science in Nursing (ELM) - Fall 2024

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

    Getting accepted is a total crapshoot in general, there are way more qualified and outstanding applicants than there are spots, so I really just think it comes down to luck and not rhyme or reason....

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

    You guys are gonna drive yourselves crazy trying to figure out if people with the same specialty are denying their offers- who knows how many of each are even in the original 20, it's not an even...

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

    UCSF did away with their master's program before our group applied as well, many of us were hoping to go there. Just a heads up about Davis's accelerated master's program- it's crazy expensive, on par...

  5. San Francisco State University (SFSU) Entry Level Master of Science in Nursing (ELM) - Fall 2024

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

    The numbers are kinda all over the place. I'm a public health/community specialty and so is one other person. There's like 8 geriatric specialties, maybe 2 mental health, 2 admin, and a handful of...

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

    Last year's wait list was by specialty. Two people in my program were both #4 for their different specialties. So it seems like it's the same this year. It varies. Last semester we were on...

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

    It's a 3 year, 6 semester program. You are eligible to take the NCLEX after year 2 but can't really work as a nurse until after you finish year

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

    They didn't send us any type of update last year, just all of a sudden an email saying boom you're accepted after radio silence for 5 months. It's a brutal

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

    I guess letters are out now then, nice. I'd say at least half of the students in my program were originally waitlisted out of the 20 of us. Lots of people's plans change and not everyone waitlisted...

  17. San Francisco State University (SFSU) Entry Level Master of Science in Nursing (ELM) - Fall 2024

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

    I think it's crazy that they really think people can afford to not work while in school for 3 years. That being said, it is difficult to work with the course load and unpredictable schedule. We don't...

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

    Hi! I have zero idea what job prospects are. I'm only in my first year and communication with years above me is pretty much nonexistent, which was a driving factor in me starting this thread. You can...

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

    I guess I feel kind of supported? IDK there's no specific support system in place. There is some type of mentorship you can sign up for, but I haven't and don't know anyone who has. As a student of...
