  1. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    Hey, I did my CNA course through Nightingale Nursing. There's one in Pleasant Hill and San Leandro. It was about $500, maybe $600 including the cost of white scrubs and supplies and it was only 3...

  2. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    That's such a good point--the volunteer experience! I did volunteer experience and a CNA course and I swear those were what pushed me into being accepted at the schools I applied to! Plus the...

  3. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    Hm... I don't really know. I have a friend who had a 3.75 (she got a B in anatomy) and she didn't get in for spring 2010 but I did. I think it really just depends on the semester and the specific...

  4. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    Out of the 4 prerequisites (Anat/Micro/Physio/Psych) I had a 4.0 and my essay was pretty good too. It's very possible to get in to that program but be prepared to get in with 2 years of prerequisites...

  5. USF in San Francisco: Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    Apparently they've been doing this for a while. I've seen posts on here from other people who were warning me that I wouldn't start clinicals for a while. Sucks that it's basically another 4 years of...

  6. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    I got in for spring 2010, but the letter said it would take 8 semesters to complete the program! Thankfully I already started the program at SMU this week! Goodluck to everyone

  7. What is the "BEST" post-operative position in pacu?

    bluechick112 replied to NurseBobbyJack's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Doesn't it depend on the type of procedure? I mean, here in our PACU we have a bunch of different procedures coming through our doors. Colonoscopies always arrive on their side, eye cases (cataract,...

  8. Samuel Merritt BSN Fall 2009?

    bluechick112 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there allnurses! Was wondering if there was anyone out there who applied to the Fall 2009 generic BSN program at Samuel Merritt? Only 4-6 spots available! How ridiculous. I won't be getting in...

  9. Nursing Assistant (CNA) Hiring Process @ John Muir Hospital

    bluechick112 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello to all, I've mentioned before, but I'll recap my situation here. I'm a pre-nursing student (planning to transfer out of my community college into nursing school either Fall 09 or Spring 2010)...

  10. Nursing Assistant (CNA) Hiring Process @ John Muir Hospital

    bluechick112 replied to bluechick112's topic in General Nursing

    Especially here in CA.... My secret is that I applied to a private school and was willing to dish out the money it takes for tuition (then again...with all the loans available at my school I hardly...

  11. Nursing Assistant (CNA) Hiring Process @ John Muir Hospital

    bluechick112 replied to bluechick112's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I actually didn't take the test nor did I ever work as a CNA. I got hired for a different position at a hospital which actually paid MORE than I would have received working as a CNA. I also got in...

  12. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    A friend of mine just heard back yesterday from USF and was accepted! I asked her about when she starts clinicals and she said she wasn't sure but has also heard that there is typically a delay...

  13. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    well I wish you the absolute best of luck! :) I know it's expensive, but it's a great school and it'll all be worth it in the end! The wait is a pain, but it just makes getting your acceptance letter...

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    So I called today and asked just for fun (I literally had nothing else to do lol) and they said that noone has received their acceptance/rejection letters for entry to this spring 2010's bsn program....

  15. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    Really? Because on their website it specifically states that they won't be sending out acceptance/rejection letters until December. When I called and spoke with the admissions lady she said the exact...

  16. USF- University of San Francisco- Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    I actually haven't heard back from them yet, but since I already got accepted to Samuel Merritt (my #1 choice) like over a month ago I'm definitely going there whether I get in to USF or not! :)...

    bluechick112 replied to Scooby-Dooby-Doo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So...who got in?! Not me, as expected lol. My e-mail says I'm #6 on the alternate list whatever that means. Anyway congrats to all those who got accepted

  18. Samuel Merritt BSN Sp'10

    bluechick112 replied to bluechick112's topic in California Nursing

    Hi! I wouldn't worry. This is how it works: they sent acceptance letters out and gave us all a deadline to respond on our intent to register (November 20th). So a bunch of people are either 1) not...

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    bluechick112 replied to bluechick112's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello all! So I didn't end up getting in for fall 2009, but I've been accepted for spring 2010 and just dropped off my tuition deposit yesterday. I was wondering if anyone could offer their two cents...

    bluechick112 replied to bluechick112's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know about scheduling classes either, but I do know that orientation for the fall 2009 class was less than a week before classes began, so probably the first week of

  24. Samuel Merritt BSN Sp'10

    bluechick112 replied to bluechick112's topic in California Nursing

    I'm pretty sure classes start Jan 11th. From what I hear (I have plenty of friends who graduted from SMU's BSN program and several who are currently in it!), it is NOT wise to work while attending....

    bluechick112 replied to bluechick112's topic in California Nursing

    YAYYYY thank you Solidus! I'm also waiting to hear back from HSU. If I get in there, I'll be torn since it's just so much cheaper than SMU and the cost is really hitting me hard now. But I'm just...
