1. SFSU Fall 2012 Admission Hopefuls

   bombom replied to athinapatel's topic in California

   Hey everyone, @sunshiine: last year, acceptances were given out late March and anyone on the waitlist was notified of their rank by April. As for University vs program acceptances, I believe you should be accepted into the university first before any...

2. SFSU 2011 applicants

   bombom replied to lobo12's topic in California

   Congratulations Solidus!!! As for the immunizations: The 2-step PPD does take two weeks to complete, and if you need your MMR or Varicella, don't take those until after your second PPD reading (they can affect your PPD results). You'd need a doctor'...

3. Is engraving bad?

   bombom replied to bombom's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thank you ScottE for that tidbit of knowledge! I didn't know that I was pretty confident in making my decision to engrave mine, and thanks also mom2ccg too! I just got my stethoscope in the mail and tried it out. The "engraving" wasn't what I was in...

4. Need advice about degree decisions

   bombom replied to Michael88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with szeles23. Apply for any program that you can meet with what you have right now. Also, going through ADN programs isn't stupid. In the end, you'll be an RN just like the ones who went through a BSN program. You can always go back to compl...

5. Is engraving bad?

   bombom posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I plan on buying a Littman Classic II SE for nursing school. Medisave offers free engraving, but should I engrave it? I noticed that they engrave on the inside edge of the bell side--does this affect the quality of what I'll hear?

6. SFSU 2011 applicants

   bombom replied to lobo12's topic in California

   I called the school of nursing today and the person who answered (I'm assuming she's the receptionist) said it could be another week or two for emails notifying waitlisters

7. SFSU 2011 applicants

   bombom replied to lobo12's topic in California

   I'm a little confused about whether you thought my last post was attacking others? As with all posts, please take them with a grain of salt. I was only really shocked by how great 22flower's achievements were, and--upon hearing that someone else with...

8. Waiting List

   bombom replied to georgiag's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey bella1990, I'm assuming you were replying to me. I received an email near the end of March telling me that I was on waitlist and what rank I was. I'm also a continuing student, so I'm not sure how the transfers are getting their notifications. I ...

9. Which do you prefer usf, sfsu, samuel merritt

   bombom replied to futureERnurse89's topic in California

   I'm sort of in the same boat! I didn't bother applying to Samuel Merritt though. I'm super close to getting into SFSU as well. I'm really set on going to SFSU. From the moment I got into USF's program, all I hear is how good the program is and how ea...

10. Distraught college kid

    bombom replied to devonbrower's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I also forgot to mention that there are some people who have bachelor degrees in a different major wanting to go into nursing. they also have programs for that if you're concerned by your grades. it's a long route as well, but in the end you'll be a ...

11. Distraught college kid

    bombom replied to devonbrower's topic in Pre-Nursing

    There are several ways to become a nurse. You don't have to become an RN with a BS degree straight away if you think your transcript won't be palatable to the schools' nursing review. You can definitely try your best to go for a BSN in your area, but...

    i know for sure that chabot, merritt, los medanos, ohlone, ccsf use lottery systems. these are community colleges with adn programs in northern ca. they have to first select candidates with at least the minimum requirements and above. then they put a...

13. Waiting List

    bombom replied to georgiag's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was recently put on waitlist for the BSN program at San Francisco State University here in California. The waitlist I'm on has 115 people. If your school goes by rank on the waitlist, and you're near the top of the list, I'm sure you've still got ...

14. BSN program with no waitlist

    bombom replied to scm1990's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think it's a too late for programs in California, especially if you wanted to apply for this Fall 2011. At this point, we're all waiting on acceptances and waitlist updates. I would suggest looking into any schools around the area you live in first...

15. Please help! Trying to get into BSN program!!

    bombom replied to jyyhb5's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm confused on the last part about taking an RN and doing a bridge program... Did you mean an ADN (the 2-year degree taken at community colleges)? That is definitely an option regardless of gpa or other qualifications. Where I live, it's best to app...
