  1. SFSU Fall 2012 Admission Hopefuls

    bombom replied to athinapatel's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  2. Is engraving bad?

    bombom posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, 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...

  3. SFSU 2011 applicants

    bombom replied to lobo12's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  4. Is engraving bad?

    bombom replied to bombom's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, 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...

  5. Need advice about degree decisions

    bombom replied to Michael88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  6. Go for the USF BSN Program or wait for the SFSU BSN Program?

    bombom posted a topic in California Nursing

    I recently got accepted into the BSN Program at University of San Francisco for Spring 2011, but I won't know until March-May 2011 if I got into the program at San Francisco State for the Fall 2011...

  7. SFSU 2011 applicants

    bombom replied to lobo12's topic in California Nursing

    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

  8. SFSU 2011 applicants

    bombom replied to lobo12's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  9. Waiting List

    bombom replied to georgiag's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

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

    bombom replied to futureERnurse89's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  11. Distraught college kid

    bombom replied to devonbrower's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  12. Distraught college kid

    bombom replied to devonbrower's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  13. Cali lottery nursing schools

    bombom replied to rgs829's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  14. Waiting List

    bombom replied to georgiag's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  15. BSN program with no waitlist

    bombom replied to scm1990's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

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

    bombom replied to jyyhb5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  17. Understanding TEAS V Results, help please?

    bombom replied to ohnevah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a look at their website and it looks like they only need the TEAS 4.0 for pre-admission--and that's after you send in an application. They say they provide a schedule of dates to do the TEAS...

  18. SFSU 2011 applicants

    bombom replied to lobo12's topic in California Nursing

    I did have some experience in the medical records deperment at a local SNF, but I definitely wasnt paid for that. I'm assuming a lot of LVNs and CNAs probably got into the program more easily than...

  19. SFSU 2011 applicants

    bombom replied to lobo12's topic in California Nursing

    Hey I'm really confused as to how SFSU picks their students for the year now. I'm waitlisted at rank 2 and I don't have better stats than yours. (Yours are amazing by the way). I really don't...

  20. Go for the USF BSN Program or wait for the SFSU BSN Program?

    bombom replied to bombom's topic in California Nursing

    The two classes I know I'll be taking at USF can't transfer into SFSU since they're unique to the USF nursing program. BUT I don't mind that anymore. As long as I get into either USF/SFSU. Did you...

  21. Go for the USF BSN Program or wait for the SFSU BSN Program?

    bombom replied to bombom's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not sure if I should say it was easy... It sure felt like it was though! I asked an adviser on the USF program and he told me only about 20% of applicants get in, so I would say it is fairly...
