I'm sure there are many posts on here from nursing students boohooing about how hard nursing school is and how they want to quit. I hate to add to that chorus but I've been keeping these feelings inside so long, I just need to get them out somewhere,...

If a particular post is too long or uninteresting for you to bother reading, feel free to not post a response. Some other people resonated with this topic enough to discuss it and have been helpful to me and other readers. I want to thank everyone w...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm lucky in that the philosophy in my program is not a hunger games style attempt to weed out the weak ones, but rather one where they want to give you the support you need to complete the program. Your post made ...

Thanks for your response. I was never really considering quitting. I fantasize about it constantly and it's definitely a struggle for me to get through the week, but quitting isn't really an option for me at this point. It's encouraging to hear that ...

Thanks for the encouragement. I know I need to be a little kinder to myself. The breakdown wasn't really about the alarm, I think that one incident was just the straw that broke the camel's back, unfortunately.

Oh, ok thanks for letting us know!

I named the group Sac State BSN Fall 2014, but I think I'm going to change it to our graduating year, Spring 2016.

Hey guys, I saw no one had started an FB group yet so I went ahead and made one. Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/251036691768583/ Hope that works!

I'm in! So relieved. Can't wait to meet those of you who will be attending in the fall!

I called Stanislaus and they said a fee waiver for the intent to enroll exists for students applying for nursing, but it was due early April. I wish I had known about this, I've scoured their nursing program's website and never saw anything about it....

The intent to enroll isn't refundable. I feel like I will probably get in to Sac, but it just feels like so much hubris not to have a backup!

milkpearl, I think they expect some people to accept their admission and then withdraw it later; that's why they have alternate lists. I don't think it will be a problem if you accept at San Diego and then change your mind later. It just sucks having...

So I guess we're not going to hear until tomorrow; that's so frustrating. I was admitted to CSU Stanislaus' nursing program, so I guess I will have to submit my intent to enroll there along with $200 so I have a back up. I was selected as alternate 4...

Wow, thanks for digging up that email for us! Now, will it stop me from obsessively checking all day? Probably not...

I don't think there is any way of knowing what time they will send it out. I've gotten decisions from other nursing schools at various times of the day. Sac is my first choice, so of course it's the last one I hear from! I've resigned myself to check...

Thanks so much for all the info! It's nice to have a clearer picture of what the program really demands. The frontloading process will be intense, I'm sure. I was thinking about taking medical terminology over the summer, do you think that will be he...

Hi Sakakaka, I'm in the same boat as you, a transfer student who's been admitted to the university and waiting for news about the nursing program. Hopefully we will hear back from the nursing school before the May 1st deadline to submit the Intent to...

Xaireel, thanks for offering to share about your experience at Sac State! Could you give us an idea of a typical week in the nursing program? How much time a day in lab, lecture or clinical? How many hours a week did you study? Are you involved with ...

According to the email I got from cstan, the deadline for your intent to enroll for the nursing program is 4/11, but the deadline for the intent to enroll for the university is 5/1 and requires a $200 deposit. Luckily there is no fee associated with ...

Congrats, I also got into cstan! Sac is still my first choice though . I guess we'll have to submit our intent to enroll before we find out about sac, since it's due 4/11 and we won't find out about sac until 4/30.

Finally some info! "Based on student-reported data, the applicant ranked 80 has 76 points—the applicant ranked 120 has 71 points. We anticipate the cut-score will be slightly lower when we have completed the evaluation process, but we regret it wil...

The website says to check back mid March for an update with their progress processing Fall applications, so hopefully we'll have an idea soon about when we'll find out. I'm finishing up some prereqs too: organic chemistry and my oral communication co...

It sounds like most people live off campus, and that's my plan if I get in. University housing is so expensive :/

I mailed my application in on Friday 2/21 and got a confirmation email by Mon 2/24. I was surprised it was so fast, but maybe I got my app in before they got totally swamped. Still, it may be worth a call.

I've also applied to Sonoma State and CSU Stanislaus. I think I have the best shot at Sac, because their point system doesn't take overall GPA into account, just nursing GPA. I dropped out of UC Davis in my freshman year due to some personal issues, ...
