a few tricks in the sacto area for getting into full classes: cattle call is a good one - show up, make your presence known, your interest in the class. i had a chem prof take standing room only for a class and by the 3rd week all cattle calls were in the class!!! next - make sure to matriculate into nursing major asap!! this will bump your priority. if any classes have a wait list, get on it! by the fall a lot of people will drop the classes. i've moved from 30th to in the class over a summer! use ratemyprofessor.com to find profs that you may like, then go and meet them. (court them if you will), this may increase your chances of entrance to hard to find classes. by and large the other posters are accurate - the classes in sacto are extremely hard to get into. good luck!!!
