  4. Samuel Merritt ABSN - San Mateo June 09

    EM-RN replied to EM-RN's topic in California Nursing

    I had the impression that the ABSN program we're interested in is so fast paced that we'll be rushing through a lot of concepts without really grasping them. If we allow ourselves more time to study...

    EM-RN replied to EM-RN's topic in California Nursing

    How about taking a CNA course at an adult school ($500), volunteering at a hospital, or studying for NCLEX? I bought the Saunders book (my X'mas present :gift:) and plan to go over it as soon as I get...

  6. Samuel Merritt ABSN - San Mateo June 09

    EM-RN replied to EM-RN's topic in California Nursing

    I suspect that some of the applicants who got waitlisted for non-San-Mateo SMC campuses, Oakland in particular, were offered seats in San Mateo so that all 48 spots are occupied. I read on this forum...

    EM-RN replied to EM-RN's topic in California Nursing

    What a pity! Maybe some applicants chicken out last minute and you get the call. Stay by the phone, just in case. Wow, they have filled all San Mateo seats for Spring 09! Good for SMC's bank account!!...

  10. Samuel Merritt ABSN - San Mateo June 09

    EM-RN replied to EM-RN's topic in California Nursing

    EM-RN replied to CA_Student_Nurse's topic in California Nursing

    I took my CNA at the Mountain View-Los Altos Adult School 2 years ago for about $500. It was an evening program over 3 months. I just checked their website. It doesn't look like CNA is being offered...

    EM-RN replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I turned in mine on Oct 23. BTW, I just talked to one of my girlfriends about applying for SM. She decided against it due to the high tuition and bad econ. This implies less competition for those who...

  17. new here & need help w/ Samuel Merritt ABSN app f

    EM-RN replied to davisgirl9's topic in General Students

    I'm in a similar boat. Even though I have one other school (De Anza), the chance of getting in within 1-2 years through lottery is so slim that I can't really count on it. I'll have my second drawing...

  18. Anyone Applying to Samuel Merritt ABSN April, May, June 2009?

    EM-RN replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe hellophuo21 is aiming for Spring 09. From what I've read on this forum, waitlist #3 for San Mateo doesn't look too bad. I guess hellophuo21 needs to talk to the school about getting some...

  20. All About the NET

    EM-RN replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Csantos, Some adjustments to your reply: 1) 7 2/5% of x is equal to 74. 2/5 = 0.4, not 0.2. Therefore, 7.4x /100 = 74, or 74x /1000 = 74. Cross-multiply it => 74x = 74000 => x = 1000. 4)...

  21. All About the NET

    EM-RN replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got my NET result: 85% (math - 100% & reading - 70%). I wish I had a higher reading score, but 70% is the passing reading score for the school I'm applying to. I could have gotten 69%! In...

    EM-RN replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in California Nursing
