Just had a little something to say about the Sutter Extended program. I am a student in the program currently. I had heard a lot of negative things about the program before applying such as there is no support from staff, the curriculum is harder, you feel like "big brother" is watching you, the tests are more difficult than the actual NCLEX, etc, etc...Well it's all true. I did not want to get into this program, even though I applied to it anyway. It's just it's kind of hard to say no to a nursing program that accepts you. I have never worked so hard for C's and B's in my life! I have wanted to give up more than once. Most of the instuctors have no idea how to teach; I must remind myself that these are nurses teaching me not college professors. So I recommend this program to people who learn concepts real fast, excel at critical thinking, really know their physiology already, and seriously have a minimum of 5 hours a day to study. So if you are used to getting A's, it's time to humble yourself and accept the fact that the person who graduates at the bottom of their class is still called an RN because B's and C's are highly likely at the Extended Campus.
