Hey Krich72, All transcripts have to be official regardless of what they are for (college, GED, etc..)

Hey fatrabbit, I believe the foreign language requirement is waived for nursing students. As far as the 9 upper GE classes... When I was there the writing intensive class included in the nursing curriculum satisfied 3 of those units and the othe...

I am not sure but I will try to help you... First, no one who is an alternate will have more points than someone accepted. The cut off for any semester is the last person admitted in that pool. For example: if the 75th person accepted has 80 ...

As far as commuting... It depends on where you live. Hospitals are in Roseville, downtown, and off Mather Blvd. Mental health has some in Sacramento and some in Davis (yes the city of Davis). Community health can take you all the way out in Woodland...

12 hours in one day.

Sl_94 and fatrrabbit, Wow… That is a lot to summarize. Clinicals – Clinicals take place at facilities across the Sacramento area. UCDMC, Mercy, Sutter, Kaiser, VA, and various community and mental health hospitals. Each institution has its pos...

Keen, If you can manage, I would recommend not working at all. If you absolutely have to, I would try to keep it

Dannydgk, Money: Cost is +/- $16,000.00 over the 2 years. I will try to break down some of it for you in order to give you an idea of what you are looking at. Tuition/Lab fees: 3300 per semester Books: ...

Yeah, what Zeus said... me either. My level IV rarely if ever has feeder growers.

ClaudiaMoss, 1. I would call them sooner than later. You are at the whim of their schedule so you would want the most options. They are usually pretty good about it though. The test doesn't take a long time; they are pretty quick about discerning ...

Ryno, The timeline is relatively accurate. There is only a small group of people processing all of the applications and cross checking information. I have never seen the emails come after a stated timeframe; though they have come in the evenin...

Hello all, I am a graduate from SacState's nursing program and I spent a few years helping with pre-nursing advising. I have been commenting on SacState posts for previous semesters in order to offer help with answering questions where I can. ...

They have combined classes to make up the current structure but it is essentially the same. 111 - This is a lecture class covering nursing theroy, major contributors to the profession, professionalism etc... 112 - This is your Medsurg class. Your c...

I think you should follow what you are passionate about. I never hesitated pursuing NICU because I knew it is what I wanted to do and the fact that i was the only male on a very large unit didn't bother me. Like others have said, almost every exper...

The clinicals are different every semester... 1st semester - Medsurg: You all get thrown in to where ever they place you. 2nd semester - ICU/mental health: You will be given a list of clinicals that pair mental health and a hospital together. You g...

I know it is hard to do but don't let all the information stress you all out... You will get most of your questions answered by or on orientation day. I can try to help with some of the questions you may have however, section numbers/locations chan...

Level IV w/ 76 beds and we have been averaging over 70 for quite a while. We also have another 80 or so beds in our level II and III and they are both relatively full as well.

mwmoon, KathyVandy is correct. As long as you pass the in progress courses, SacState does not calculate them in your total. However, if you don't get in to that semester and you reapply for another semester than they will count since they would...

Jolina, 1st part - When you list the class on your application, you will list it as "in progress". Since there is no grade attributed to your in progress course, that class will not be added to your GPA calculation. If it is your 2nd attempt...

Lalagirl, Here is a correction for you.... "If a prerequisite or corequisite course has been taken more than once, the highest grade will be included in the Nursing GPA calculation used to rank candidates. However, if a course has been taken mor...

Hi Lalagirl, For SacState, you can repeat any prerequisite or corerequisite course 3 times. If you repeat it a 4th time, they take away 5 points from your total for the fourth and each consecutive attempt. Hope that helps.

akulahawkRN, There is no reason to be argumentative and condescending when I was simply trying to help and encourage someone. I was merely making a point, not arguing that SacState has the highest pass rate to the thousandths place, nor was I...

Aggie and Mishabc, You need to accept the offers from the other schools in order to ensure that you get to go somewhere. The reason schools have wait lists is for situations like yours. When I did advising at SacState, I saw alternates called th...

Hello Flowingwater, It is hard to really narrow it down since they cover so much material and because each student is so very different in what will be helpful. Since you are just getting started, you don't have your texts yet and you will cover...

Just a quick note.... A lot of the previous semester cohorts have started a group on facebook to help get to know each other and as a support to one another as well. It is a great tool to help you know what is coming up, what is due, and where ...
