Thanks for your response! I really appreciate all ur help =)

Please don't mind me asking this but I'm really curious to know, why didn't you go into PA school? You seem to very much like the medical model, so why did you chose FNP? Was it for the autonomy?

Hi SkiBum, I just wanted to thank-you immensely for all your help, you've been wonderful! I have a quick question, for our first semester, do you recommend renting books or even buying used instead of buying new from amazon? Are there some classes wh...

Hey thanks for the info guys, I guess the counselor (since I can't mention names, lol) forgot to email it to me. She emailed it right away and mine had the updated health forms so I'm good to go. Thanks so much for letting us know =)

I have not heard anything about immunizations! Did they already send out a welcome packet? Is the health stuff due before the Ist of June? Confused!

Hi, did you feel like you were adequately prepared to take the NCLEX exam after the first 4 semesters, or did you have to go out of your way to buy NCLEX study guides or take a course and study on your own?

Did you feel like the second year was slow, especially semester 6 where there is only a 1 credit seminar? I know we are supposed to work as an RN that semester but considering the horrible job situation for fresh grads, I guess it's not a requirement...

Oh I did change the settings to private, let me change them, try again today =)

Wow, they changed my last post, where I posted the FB page address, I guess I can't put the website up anymore, lol. I haven't heard anything about scholarships, in the financial aid packet it said that there are "limited institutional scholarships ...

In case anyone still wants to join the FB page, look us up!

Hey great website, thanks! I have been contemplating if it is better to take the Direct Plus Loan with a 7.9% fixed interest rate or whether I should get a private loan. I called Wells Fargo and they have private loans for health professionals in whi...

Sorry to bother you, another question, is it a good idea to take the full amount of the money that FAFSA offers you? In the financial aid award packet, they have included room and board which I don't need. Also how is your schedule in the first year?...

Excellent! I'm so glad to have found you! I hope you don't mind me asking alot of questions! Overall did you feel like you had no life while in school? I have a 4-year old son, I won't have to work but I really hope I can still have some time for my ...

Hi were you in the ELMSN-FNP or the traditional route?

I just received my financial aid package...It looks like it's going to cost around $70K for the first year without room/boarding. We are taking 47 credits this year so tuition alone is $50K. It won't be as much the second year because we are only tak...

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you all know, I finally figured out how to make a FB page and created "Samuel Merritt ELMSN-FNP Oakland-Class of 2014" for our cohort. Please join, so we can communicate with each other about assignments and other import...

Hey guys those of you that are accepted, anyone want to make a Facebook page for our class? I've never done it but if no one wants to I guess I will. I was thinking it would be nice to stay in touch with everyone and be able to discuss stuff. I was c...

Hi, I had average stats, nothing extraordinary. 1) Undergrad GPA: 3.6 Science GPA: 3.7 I volunteered at American Red Cross for 4 months and worked at a pharmacy for 2 years. 2) the NursingCAS experience was very annoying. We had to enter each...

I just wanted to let everyone know that I was accepted into the Samuel Merritt ELMSN-FNP program last week and so someone from the wait list will be moving up! I was accepted to the Oakland ABSN cohort.

I had a really tough time getting into a physiology class and I ended up taking it at Samuel Merritt, it was very expensive but I had been trying to get in for a year! At the community colleges and even CSUEB, I had last priority and by the time my t...

Besides the call, did you guys receive any packet or email regarding the next steps that we have to take? Did you guys apply for loans? Man $115 000 in debt seems so scary! I was told I would receive a packet in the mail. I only told them "yes" over ...

OMG I got a call for early admit today also! Gohs I was in your interview group, I was one of the girls that introduced you! Originally I also felt like I did terribly because I was not introduced the way I wanted to be and I felt like I didn't get t...

I was in the group interview today and I just wanted to let everyone still waiting know that we were told that today was the last set of interviews, I'm really sorry. The lady interviewing us told us decisions would be made within the next 2 weeks. A...

One more question...are the questions that they ask directly related to your application and resume or are they general questions trying to assess your personality? I'm so nervous, please help =) I am not a good interviewer!
