Has anyone else received a phone call offering them the job? I haven't been called and was hoping they weren't finished making the calls. Like everyone else, I really wanted to get into this program. Also, those who got an offer, are you BSN or ADN...

Yes, I'll be doing the bridge at SFSU. Nowadays it's necessary to have a BSN. I would have gone that route from the beginningg if not for the price. It would have been exponentially more expensive than going the community college ASN route.

@chellessss I'm loving it! It's not easy by any means, but well worth it. It takes dedication and discipline because the stress factor is through the roof most of the time. Congratulations on getting in the program and get ready for wild ride! Good ...

I'm currently in the program and commute from the Concord area. It's actually not bad if you use Bart. The school is across the street from the Balboa Park station. Driving for clinicals is when it sucks.

O M G, I am soooo happy right now! Out of 585 applications, my name came up in the first 100, which means I should get into Spring 2014 at CCSF (they pick 50 for fall; 50 for spring). Nothing's set in stone until I get the official letter, but I'm s...

Thanks for the info about Pharm! I've been so preoccupied with all the background stuff and studying that I hadn't printed out my class schedule. Also, I received my scrubs yesterday :-) which was the only good part of my day because I had to put my...

I just received my ebook bundle in the mail and I'm downloading the books to begin studying today. I won't be getting those other books for a few weeks. Dhe told us we won't need them for at least 2-4 weeks into the semester, so I will buy them when ...

I just gave my notice at work today. Hopefully they can keep me part-time because I have to work. If they don't, I'll be trying to find a weekend job.

That's a good question. Sorry that I don't know the answer. I took a dosage calculation and pharmacology class already, so it's annoying that I have to buy those books again (albeit I think they are different books). I'm just getting the ebooks beca...

Great seeing you all at orientation today, even though I don't know who you are! I got my ID card after, so now I feel really official :-) See you all on the13th!

Yup, I picked up my packet last Tues :-) I have signed up for 2 of the classes, but it wouldn't let me register for the last one (section 31162). Did that happen for you? My uniform fitting is at 9:30. What times does everyone have? I can't wait to...

I got the email too. I'm bummed the packets have to be picked up instead of mailed since I'll have to take time off work to do that, but at least we finally heard :-)

I didn't get a registration email. :-/

Yes, I read it. Seems those who are 75% done by summer 2014 will graduate with an RN degree from CCSF. After that, they do not say anything concrete about the other existing nursing students which is what I was worried about. Starcat, I am very curi...

I begin my volunteering at JMMC next month :-). I'm still on the fence about going to CCSF in Spring, but waiting to start the NVC program in Fall 2015 seems like forever & I'm not getting any younger :-/. Money is also an issue because I would n...

I just had my initial volunteer group interview. We have to do 2 TB tests, plus go through a 3 hour orientation, provide 2 references, and clear a background check. We get to chose the top five departments where we want to volunteer. If a spot is not...

For those of us who were supposed to start the nursing program this fall or next spring, I caution you to think twice. The accreditation is to be revoked next summer.

Volleygrl, did you find anything out? I sent an email asking for answers using the form on the school's website, but haven't yet received any response.

I just saw this too! Ugh, damnit! I am so thankful that I'm also on the waitlist at NVC, at least I know I'm still going to nursing school eventually. I'm planning to apply to other programs in the fall as well. This is so terribly disappointing :...

Yep! I had to go to 3 different community colleges in the area to get all my prereqs done. It wasn't so much that the same classes weren't offered at every school, it was that by the time I could register for classes (everyone has a registration da...
