cheezn4life and wwe diva, my class was the smallest sac state has seen for a while, so things change depending on your class size. i know that clinical take place at sutter roseville, sutter general and u.c. davis for first semester students. nursing classes run on the following days mon 8-10:50 (n12) wed or friday from 8-11 (n16) and 11:30-2:20 (n18). you clinical schedule will determine which day you take these classes. thurs. 7:30- 10:20 (n11) 4:30- 6:20 (pharm) i would highly recommend taking pharm over the summer if you can get enrolled somewhere. although it looks like you will have one weekday free from classes, plan on devoting that time to studying and catching up. honestly, the first semester is very busy and you will be spending everyday working on something for school. like i said previously, spend quality time over the summer with family and friends because the first semester is time consuming and you will not have much free time. last i heard about folsom hall is that the transition will be happening during the winter break. we have had some lectures there and the staff is trying very hard to get things moving so we can have more space. like most construction projects, the date has been pushed back a few times, so until equipment is actually moved and set up, we just adapt to what we have now. at this point i can't really tell you equipment cost. i think the dept may be transitioning from polos to scrubs for your class. i know that you are required to purchase a littman stethoscope ($75-$100) , white non skid shoes , and a uniform with lab coat. the school offers discounts if you are a cnsa (california state nursing student association) member, so waiting may be wise. if you have not already joined the cnsa you should look into it. it is a great program for students to become involved with meetings monthly on campus. i did not qualify for financial aid but most of my classmates did get financial aid.

WWE Diva and Cheezn4life, CONGRATS and welcome to the nursing program at Sac State. I will be starting my last semester in the fall and love the program. We will be planning a meet and greet in early August for your class to meet eachother as well as students who are surviving the program. You will receive an email from Teri with the specifics as soon as we finish with finals and are able to get together for planning. Take time and enjoy your summer with family and friends because the adventure of nursing school will be a bumpy ride. Feel free to send me any questions here and I will try to find yo uthe answer.

Sacstate2010 The faculty are wonderful, they are always making themselves available and want to see all of us succeed. The program is intense and I would be lying if I said it was easy. It is tough but it can be done. You will make it through and love the program.

Congrats and welcome to the program. I am starting my third semester in the nursing program. It has been a wild ride but I have survived. If you have not logged on to SacCt and read the announcements there is going to be a "meet and greet" for incoming students to get to know their classmates and talk with students who have some nursing school time under their belts. The meet and greet is scheduled for Jan 19 at noon in the nursing department room 1039. It is a pot luck so bring something yummy.
