  1. Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to niffy's topic in California Nursing

    Just wanted to let you know that another spot will be opening up. I have decided not to attend SMU. Good luck

  2. New Navy NCP Selectee Looking for others!

    oaktown2 replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    Bleemme - I believe that I was told by my recruiter that they weren't taking any else until the next fiscal year (Oct). But if you hear differently, I would love to know! Right now I am stalled in...

  3. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks TLS11! Anytime you want to share other things you have learned, I know I will be happy to read. I've learned a lot from this site and love hearing about what is yet to

  4. If only somebody could help me to find the right school

    oaktown2 replied to Knifed's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to try a site like http://www.petersons.com/. They allow you to search for colleges (at least in the US) based on criteria. Given the information that has you have provided, there are...

  5. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    mt2544 - thanks for your post. It wasn't ideally what I wanted to hear (though it also wasn't a surprise!) but it is still really helpful to hear people's experiences and at least there were some...

  6. Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to niffy's topic in California Nursing

    I had a titer done for some volunteer work that I did and honestly, that is probably the easiest thing. I don't know about SMU, but some schools require you to have a titer done because vaccination...

  7. Duke ABSN 2012

    oaktown2 replied to hmgunc's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I believe that they changed their process in the Fall where no one was notified ahead of the application deadline and everyone was notified about 2-3 weeks after the deadline. Assuming that they...

  8. Is it true? BS + RN does not = BSN?

    oaktown2 replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on the program. Most of the accelerated programs that I know about are BSN programs and so they finish with a BSN. They are able to move at a faster pace because they have already...

  9. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    I was under the impression that clinicals change each semester, but I don't actually know that for a fact. My guess is that clinicals are pretty much the same, though each hospital system is a little...

  10. How Impacted are the programs in the Sacramento area?

    oaktown2 replied to Ziglar1's topic in California Nursing

    There is an ABSN program that is opening up. It is a joint program with CSU Stanislaus and Sac State with each campus starting with about 30 students. The program is run out of the extended ed...

  11. ASN to BSN with another BS degree?

    oaktown2 replied to cheesewhiz's topic in General Nursing

    I know at UCSF if you have a BS and an ASN, you can apply to their masters. I can't remember if they require additional classes or not, but I don't believe they do. They have a ADN to MSN Pathway,...

    oaktown2 replied to niffy's topic in California Nursing

    Anyone know how big the class

  13. Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to niffy's topic in California Nursing

    I know that Wells Fargo offers a MedCap loan. It is adjustable, so that is a downside, but if you have maxed out on federal loans, it could be an option....

  14. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks itsmeehlizie and davismom! (And as I was putting this all out on a public forum, I don't see it as butting in at all!) I will definitely check out the places that you both

  15. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    davismom - nope, never lived in Sac. I actually know very little about it, though I am looking forward to learning more! I am currently looking near Sac State and have heard good things about East...

  16. Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to niffy's topic in California Nursing

    My stats are almost identical to mala in se's, though I took the TEAS IV. My letters of rec came from an instructor, former boss and coordinator of a volunteer program I did in Ecuador. I have also...

  17. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    davismom - definitely agree that they will all have advantages and even more so about not having to drive to Roseville! Location wise I am very happy with my clinical spot. I think I will start to...

  18. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    davismom - I think I am in 4. I really wanted to be in 9 - I would love to do a rotation at the VA. But hopefully I will have a chance at another. How about you? Right now I am going from being...

  19. Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to niffy's topic in California Nursing

    I know nothing about when we will hear regarding financial aid, but based on previous cohort's threads, they seem to be available pretty

  20. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    runningrn2be - sorry to hear you won't be joining us! (And I do still think of it as us which means that I will probably stick with Sac State.) The thought of that much debt in this economy just...

  21. Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to niffy's topic in California Nursing

    When I met with a counselor I just called the main line and was able to schedule it directly through them. It was a lot easier because I had previously tried to reach people directly and didn't have...

  22. Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to niffy's topic in California Nursing

    Ktke - I'm really sorry to hear and totally surprised that you didn't get accepted. I know that volunteer work isn't required, but I personally feel like it shows that you know what you are getting...

  23. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    The pre-reqs are required for all. Obviously, if you have taken them you wouldn't need to again, but if you haven't you need to take them. Your degree only exempts you from some graduation...

  24. CSUS Fall '11 Hopefuls....??

    oaktown2 replied to candyapples88's topic in California Nursing

    runningrn2be - did you decide whether or not you would be doing the Sac program this fall? I found out today that I was accepted to Samuel Merritt for the fall in SF (which is where I currently live)...

  25. Duke ABSN 2012

    oaktown2 replied to hmgunc's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    carshell - I didn't but if I had to do it all over again, I might have. I had a horrible time getting the references in for completely understandable reasons, but still frustrating for me. If you...
