Congrats Mila on getting in! I'm so excited for you. My friend just graduated from the EVC program and I know she really enjoyed it. I love the particular SF State program I'm in. I get a BS in 20 months and I take my classes on the Canada college...

Hey guys! It's been a while but would love to hear your stories since your acceptance letter. How were classes? Was the nursing program all that you could wish for? Or if you've been working on your prereqs since your acceptance, how were they at...

Hey mila sorry it took so long. All nurses stopped sending me email notices when people post to the same thread. Yes, I got into EVC as alternate and they guaranteed me a spot for spring if I didn't get added to Fall 2011. However, I also got into...

That's so nice to hear, Solidus. I personally think that folks who had to go through as much as you did appreciate the opportunity a great deal and tend to really seize all the program has to offer. I am so happy it's you who made it in although I...

whoo hoo! I know this is late, but I still wanted to say congrats! I stopped getting email prompts from the site for whatever reason and it fell off my radar for a while. I am so happy for you solidus bc you truly deserve it! Good luck and omg you...

Hi Solidus, The whole team is rooting for you--all our hoping has got to add some good karma your way I'm sure. You are so close and please do keep us posted because you already have all of us on the edge of our seats crossing our fingers for you ...

Wow, I was accepted to a couple of other programs and was wondering whether i should pay $22 and send this school my TEAS V score. At one point, I thought it couldn't hurt to "broaden my options," but these accounts have proven that philosophy wrong...

Thanks, CharmantUn. I'm a little confused about the health screening and what needs to be done. I really don't want to miss any deadlines. Looking forward to your email :)

Wow u r awesome! Thank you for the amazing advice. I was starting to get really scared about the difficulty level of the courses and exams--I tend to freak out early on lol. Your comments are really reassuring. You guys who have finished and are o...

Hi NorCalRN2011, I was wondering what sort of preparation is available during the program for someone who wants to work in the ICU? I'm starting the prog in Aug and would love any general advice you have for academic and clinical success for someone ...

Yah, let's do lunch or coffee sometime. I would love to take a look at the books you are referring to (and pick your brains some more). You can too Talkinghead (but I know it may be inaccessible for you if you still live far away right now). I can't ...

omg! you are so prepared. I've heard of the med dosage calc. exam they have us take right from the start and people say it's hard. Do you think there are any online courses available on that subject? I can only take online courses this summer sin...

Wow, thanks for all the info. I got into the Canada-SFSU prog for Aug. too. I got my letter Mar. 24th. Boy, I've been wondering when the start date was for fall so thanks for the clarification. How did you get all this info? You're very knowled...

Hi there, I'm not sure what you mean by choosing "more qualified" people. It seems there are many ways that a person can be well qualified for admission or to become a nurse and we should try to be supportive of all folks who have applied and ha...

FYI just thought I'd let folks know my online status was updated 2 days ago from applicant to admitted.

Wow, are you my long lost twin??? That's exactly what I'd like to do with my nursing skills too--participate in humanitarian projects like Operation Smile. You would be a credit to the health care community and because your heart is in the right pl...

The acceptance letter said we had 7 days to respond. However, i got two similar letters dated 2 days apart. The 2nd letter was dated Mar. 23rd on mine. Each letter asked to send my response to a different contact--it was a little weird so without ...

I don't think it does bc I'm taking Stat right now and they're still letting me in for the Fall Canada-SFSU program. I think it's really up to the committee and how they decide is anybody's guess. Then again, Stat isn't one of the core nursing clas...

Keep your chin up. I am crossing my fingers for you, Solidus_Snake. I think my GPA may have been slightly below yours but I studied really hard for my TEAS and managed to get a 92.7%. I also speak 3 languages. I think my TEAS and letter of recomm...

No, my online admission status still reads the same. On the acceptance letter, you still have to reply before they "will process your application." They're giving people a chance to reply before they start updating everyone's status online. Also, ...

Congrats! Guess we'll see each other at orientation:)

Hey all, Just got my acceptance letter to the SF State-Canada BSN program! I can hardly believe it and am so thrilled. Good luck to everyone else!

It was pretty easy but I would still buy the study manual and prepare for the test. Just focus on topics you feel you need to brush up on. Good luck!

Yes, you're in a really great position. You'll probably have no problem with placement. I've been encouraging others to do the same who haven't had much luck with the ADN lotteries or the merit based programs. If I don't get in this year I might go...

just the RN prog bc I don't have an LVN license--wish I did tho! By the way, De Anza lets in LVNs really quickly bc they fill in for the RN drop-outs. Apparently, depending on your amt of clinical experience as LVN, you may only have to do 1 yr and...
