Hi Everyone, I apologize in advance if this has been posted a lot with multiple replies. I have done a search on here (a few times) and didn't find the detailed information on class schedule/rough clinical set up for each semester for Samuel Merritt CRNA. I did find one reply that did state some of the classes are held over the weekend, but it wasn't in detail and honestly left me more confused than more educated on the topic. ? I am applying in the next 2-3 years. But I am a mother, I feel better something mentally planning and preparing for how the program is laid out and what I am getting myself into. I am taking my last chem and physics class in January and prepping to take GRE possibly before the semester starts in January. Any information on the program details would be greatly appreciated. I did call Samuel Merritt, and was told to attend the information session on 9/24 but unfortunately that time doesn't work for my schedule. I will be attending next year - but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask you all. Thanks for anyone who takes the time to reply. I would even appreciate anyone who did a better search than I could accomplish and just links past threads that I could read on the topic. ?

I am not a manager anymore (over 10 years of business administration) or even a nurse yet - but common sense to me would say that large amounts of on the job experience should always trump a degree. Even though I am going the BSN route, nothing and I mean nothing beats being in the trenches taking grenades everyday. Clearly my personal opinion but seem logical as well

I would say it is important but how important depends on the area you live in. In CA it is very important. Maybe not as important in other states? I have no idea since CA is where I am going to school and will be working.

Here is a great make up product BUT only if you want to purchase good make up to make you feel comfortable - not because of what your professor said. LOL! COMPLEXION RESCUEâ„¢ Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream - bareMinerals | Sephora This stuff is awesome! Very light coverage - just enough to even out your skin tone and give you a very light glow from the hydration since it is a moisturizer. Anyways good luck!

We had to dissect human cadavers. I didn't realize until after how very rare this was and I feel lucky to have been given that opportunity even though it was upsetting to me to begin with.

It isn't because it is full. Everyone attending usfca has to take nurs120 and nurs170 before starting any clinicals. I did the nursing tour before my acceptance and they were extremely clear that all Transfer students won't do clinicals the first semester. You can always call to ask what "not enough space" was in reference too.

I got an email back from the school saying that letters were being sent out throughout all of April and that I should hear from them in a few weeks. This just lead to more frustration since I want a firm answer. Can you direct message me or email me the person who gave you the info that you are being concerned only in May. I'm a single mom of three who is likely moving out of state if I don't get an acceptance letter. So I'm frustrated they just aren't blunt with where you stand

Did you email the main transfer email or did you email an individual counselor? I would like to know my official decision as well

Congrats! Sounds like I would have gotten a letter then. Thanks for posting

Congratulations!!!!! Can you tell me where you live? I'm about 45-an hour from the school. I'm just trying to realize if I should hold out hope. Also your stats and if you had medical experience / volunteer experience. Thanks

If anyone else wants to call I realized I spoke to the operations department - that is who admissions transferred me to. In previous forums from previous application periods it seems most correct information was given out from that department. Here is hoping!

Who did you speak to? I heard from just admissions that they started to review transfers and prepare letters on 4/1 and then I was transferred for more information and the lady said they haven't made decisions yet so she couldn't tell me if I got in. But she did check my file to make sure everything was in. She said they would be mailed by the end of the week. She said she couldn't tell me when the second wave of acceptance letters would be sent just yet because they were just notified that the letters were being mailed this week. I sure hope the lady I spoke to was right because I haven't received anything yet and I don't think it would take longer than two days to get to me.

Since I'm an impatient woman - I called USFCA yesterday and was transferred to the department where they mail out acceptance letters. The woman advised me that she just learned that day (4/3) that they are mailing out the first round of acceptance letters for nursing transfers by Friday of this week (4/7). I would love for someone else to call to verify this information. I called admissions and they transferred me to the department that mails out the letters. Anyways let me know if anyone of you guys calls!

Hi there! I'm a USFCA hopeful for Fall 2017. I'm very nervous about getting in because I don't have any medical experience at all. No volunteer or paid - so I feel like I'm automatically out of the running. But I'm still trying to put positive thoughts into all my other strong areas. My overall gpa is only a 3.62 but it was from my very first semester back to college after 12 years of no school, and they were all business classes. Every semester since has been all As. I'm hoping since they take a holistic approach they will see that I was just trying to figure out what I wanted to do and since then I have been a great student. My nursing and science/math gpa is a 4.0. I do feel like my personal statement was extremely strong and without knowing it I expressed all the key points that USFCA stood for - that just happens to be what I stood for as well. I got pretty hopeful on the tour I took last Friday and listening to what they value. I also got three very detailed/strong letters of recommendation for teachers. One science, one English, one math. I'm hoping since my teachers expressed how much they knew me and my struggles and the things I persevered through (single mom three kids; financial hardships, managing my past heart failure health issues, battling the education system for my daughter's dyslexia, etc - all while going to school full time) - that it will help me be a stronger candidate. Because of my lifestyle I don't have much time for groups and clubs or volunteer. I feel like that is another negavtive I have to over come. fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!! Your guys stats are so strong, it's making me nervous! Amanda
