What's up folks... I'm back on allnurses after two years, when my initial post was asking a question about starting nursing school. Many brutal hours of studying and hundreds of test questions later I am glad to say I will be graduating next week. I have been in San Antonio Texas for this time and attended the SAC nursing program. I have one more question: If I successfully pass the NCLEX, what must I do to obtain licensure in California (my home state)? Thanks in advance for your help, Antonio

My GPA was a 3.8 also, but check with Amy White (counselor) to see if you can sill get that .5. They say you get the .5 for completing a&p on the 1st try. I don't know if a "W" or an actual letter grade would count as a first try. Hopefully you can still get it! Good luck!!

I wanted to quote a line of your message, as I've seen in other posts goodneighbor, but couldn't dang figure it out! Thanks for your message, I will get my white uniform and be excited till the semester starts. They already posted my schedule and I can't wait to get started! And That wasn't too much info, I can't get enough actually. Esp. since the nursing admin never answers her phone!! Thanks again...

Thanks! As far as getting in, They have a point system: (your GPA) max points possible: 4 .5 for completing Microbiology(on 1st try .5 for completing A&P 1 (on 1st try) 2.0 for completing all pre-reqs (Ethics, Chem, etc) The biggest factors are your GPA, and completing everything before you apply. As soon as the new nursing building opens up, they say they'll admit twice as many students. (if they have the instructors for it) So if you apply then, you're odds automatically improve. Have you completed all the pre reqs?

Sounds good SteveRn21....I start my two year RN program in the fall, and I was trying to figure out what all to get. There's no supply list, and I didn't want to over do it. Thanks... antonio

Hey guys, I got into the SAC nursing program for the fall '08 semester. For people who already went through this, does the admissions secretary register classes for students? When do I have to buy a uniform, and what should I get? I have trouble contacting the office, so any info on what to expect would be great. thanks again.
