I started off as a new grad in public health. Since I work primarily with a pediatric population, I don't think that I missed out by not having worked in a standard med/surg unit, but I probably would have benefited with a little time on a ped unit. ...

It's my turn to scour the boards looking for the answer to this question. I have a few weeks to prepare, and this will certainly get me started. Thank you mariebailey for the info. Any other advice out there?

I didn't send in any documentation with mine, and I just found out that my appeal has been approved. I've been staying home with my 2 now not so little kids for the last 10 years, and haven't been employed. I have no documentation to prove it, and ...

Hi Sarah, I am going to be at the CPR class after orientation. My current certification is not at healthcare provider level and this one is less than half the price I was going to pay at the hospital where I volunteer. Seemed like a good deal to m...

Hi runningrn2b, I understand completely. I've waited for a while for the right time and program. I was accepted into Samuel Merritt's ABSN also, but this program feels like a much better fit for me. It's a happy compromise between the SMU's accele...

Hi Sarah and Janice, I'm so happy to hear that you both got in. I'm looking forward to meeting you on Nov 18th at orientation. My name is Sabina by the way, and I live in Placerville. Runningrn, I think I may have followed you in another thread f...

I found out about the program on August 1st and had my application in by noon that day. I rushed it. When I in for the advising meeting 2 days later they said they had about 26 applications in. I got really lucky because I just happened to be on S...

Our deadline to accept was on the 27th, so 1 week ago. They gave us about 6 days. I suspect that they are working on the alternates still, since we haven't heard anything since. Good luck!

Hi, I heard that I got in about 2 weeks ago on the 21st, but don't know much more right now. I don't know if you've heard anything from them since you posted this, but they may still be going through the alternate list. We had a deadline for Sac St...

Hi cateisgreat, Don't give up hope yet. It seems as if the calls are going out in the evenings, and they probably aren't done yet. Mine came at about 6 last night. I don't know haw many they do in the evening, but you would think that with about 4...

I just got my call. Good Luck cateisgreat, I'm sure you will hear too.

I doubt that you'll need to worry about it next year. Your waitlist number is great, and I think you'll get in.

@smschobert, I'm good - just found out I got into Sac State's new ABSN, so no matter what, I'm going to nursing school. Yeehah!!! Still waiting to hear from SMU about their ABSN, but it finally seems that it's meant to be.

shschobert, I was 11. It was kind of crazy last year since there weren't many options for 2nd baccalaureates in the Sac area. Pretty much everybody with a BS who needed to stay in the Sac area had to apply to either of SMU's programs offered here. ...

Hi JeninCA, I completely agree with BeHere. I was waitlisted last year for ELMSN FNP, my number never came up, and now I'm waiting to hear about the various programs I applied to this year. I was disappointed about not making it in, but I ended up ...

I haven't heard word from Sac yet either, and I hope it comes soon. By the way, congrats to all you SM folks who are in, and good luck to you wait-listers.

I'm right there with you!!! It can't come too soon now. Here's to good news - we've all worked hard to get here.

Hi cateisgreat, It seems that the CM applicants are always the first to know. I applied last year for the ELMSN-FNP (I got waitlisted) and followed all of the SMU threads then. It seemed that they notified CM first, then FNP, and finally ABSN. Anyw...

I got a new message from L. in Sac the other day saying that my application was being forwarded to the faculty for review, but the time line was still the same. There was no info about the applicant pool. I know this doesn't help much - but at leas...

the last i got was about a month ago saying that they got my application. it came with this timeline: following is our admission timeline: jul-aug: admission application review aug-sep: faculty application review early oct: applicants notified rega...

Bizaleth, I'm in Placerville too. I moved here 3 years ago. With any luck, in 6 months we'll be able to carpool in together. I hear you about the whirlwind, I've been trapped in one since I moved here too. I applied to the ELMSN last year and ende...

Hi all! I just applied for Sac ABSN as well. No doubt, it' going to be a long wait. Good luck everyone!!

I'm waitlisted too. I'm just relieved to know and I got a very nice pep talk from my husband. Just the same, I'm thinking that my chances of getting to the top are slim this year. Congratulations to everyone who made it in, and good luck to my fello...

From rereading the e-mail sent on the 4th, it sounds like they were planning on making final decisions by today, but it doesn't say anything about when they would notify us. I suppose that could take some time, depending on whether they call or email...

I'm relieved to see that I am not alone with these feelings. Ahh! The waiting is maddening, and its getting difficult to remain optomistic. 2bgr8nurse -Thanks for the words of encouragement. Congratulations to all you who have already heard!!
