Justanothernewgrad, did you interview or were you waiting for one?

Mel124, Did you get a call for an interview? May I ask which unit it is? Thanks!

My status for Thornton med/surg says forwarded to hiring dept 9/16, but I haven't heard anything... has anyone else?

I called HR and they said they're reviewing the apps still. Calls for interviews will go out in July

Just wondering.. I got an email today that my application is 'moving along' to managers who will the select for interviews. Does everyone who meets the requirements get this email? Thanks!

Just wanted to answer a couple of questions since I'm currently in the SFSU/Canada/Sequoia program. Yes, we are required to sign the agreement to work at Sequoia, but they told us at orientation that since the first two cohorts, Sequoia hasn't really been hiring. In fact, there's a hiring freeze there currently. So it's really just a formality! Also, @ParkJB, I feel like if you go over the book and have a pretty good grasp on it, the drug calculation really isn't that bad. I'm not sure whether you need to turn in the practice problems, but at our program (Sequoia), we did not. You should have a working knowledge of A&P, although you aren't in any danger if you have forgotten it (like me). It just helps since most of the theory classes build off of that basic knowledge. Not sure what is in the "nurse pack," but I literally bought everything on Amazon (stethoscope, BP cuff, etc.). I just read reviews to see what people preferred, but if you need a suggestion, I invested in the Littman Cardio III stethoscope and I haven't regretted it.

The book bundle from the bookstore (all new books) is a good deal if you want the ebook versions of the books, since it comes with it. This allows you to access the textbooks through your ipad/laptop/computer. I know some people paired up and split the bundle, where someone would take the physical books and the other one just used the ebooks. It really depends on it. However, I think if you don't need ebooks or NEW textbooks, the best deal as always is just to buy them used on half.com or amazon. That was the case for me.. I think I saved at least $100 off the bookstore prices!

Just received my acceptance to the SM cohort for this spring through email. Just a heads-up!

The admissions office keeps referring me to another counselor, CA, who is supposedly in charge of the applications in EB's absence. However, I reached her and she told me she didn't know anything. She said to try back next week when she may know more. Womp womp.

Technically those who have been rejected haven't heard either officially, so couldn't they also be left?

Vickan, why do you think that it's only waitlisted people left? Just wondering... I've been waiting for a response to both emails and voicemails. Bah!

Are there any others still waiting on a decision? I'm wondering if there's anyway to reach EB or any of the counselors to get ANY kind of news?

I called the counselor for our program (EB) about a week ago. She said the standard "mid-to-late June," and I asked if there was any chance that it'd be earlier. She said maybe, but they wouldn't tell us because "everyone gets agitated" if they deviate from the standard reply. I'm reallyy hoping for this week!

just FYI, I started a SMU Fall ABSN thread here. Please chime in! https://allnurses.com/ca-nursing-programs/samuel-merritt-absn-570003.html

I think the standard answer is "mid to late June," but I was looking at last year's forum and they heard in the first week of June. I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later!
