I haven't found a thread for this yet, so I figured I would start one! I am applying in August, after I have my grades from my summer courses. I was wondering what stats other applicants have as well :) I still have to complete human physio lab, gen...

You need CPR HCP (CPR for Health Care Providers). I am pretty sure the American Heart Association offers this class, but I would check with them to see if it is included in the Amazon deal. Also, if they are offering any sort of deal I would sign up...

Congratulations!!!

yay I'm glad oakland is finding out too! Congratulations to those who got in!!! Brandie, make sure you check your spam folder :)

Message me a link to your facebook :)

Were you added to the new closed group? If anyone would like to be added feel free to message me :)

I also received my acceptance to San Mateo around 2am!!! So excited to meet you all, and good luck to anyone who hasn't heard!!!

I'm not sure, but I know past cohorts have tried to figure that out and it doesn't look like they go in alphabetical order. I'm assuming they will notify Oakland first but within each cohort it looks random. I'm so anxious! I feel like every time I...

Welcome! Which campus did you apply for?

At least we know now as opposed to waiting all day tomorrow, not hearing anything, and worrying all weekend! Looks like we are back to the "7 more days" countdown.

I REALLY hope we hear tomorrow, but if they still haven't narrowed down the choices then I don't see how that will happen. Maybe Oakland will find out tomorrow, but I think those of us who applied to San Mateo will be waiting until next week :-/ Eve...

That's good that they are still aiming for the first half of March! I just passed the pathophysiology and psychology tests through Excelsier and although I'm glad those are over, now I have all the time in the world to sit around and wait lol. It's g...

Congratulations Shyloh!!!! Thats so exciting. What made you choose that program over the ABSN, or why did you apply to both? I was debating between the two so I would love to hear your perspective :) Im sure they have a reason for letting the ELMS a...

Thank you smiley! dkol- It seems like SMU had a lot going on around this time last year, such as closing the SF campus. Im hoping that was a fluke since previous cohorts did not find out that late :) Only time will tell!

It's finally March! The past few months have gone by so fast, but now that we are nearing the end of the "end of February-begining of March" time period the days are slooooooooowly creeping by. Hopefully we hear soon! For those who applied to the Sa...

Congratulations!!!!! Maybe that means we will hear about San Mateo sooner than I thought, since they were saying SF acceptances would go out mid February. Good luck!!

I applied to the San Mateo cohort

I'm studying to test out of pathophysiology and psychology, taking pharmacology through SMU, and starting anatomy on Monday. I'm glad I have been so busy, it helps to keep my mind off of the application!

The last email I received said "Final answers (at least for the SF option/April start) should be expected between the middle and the end of February". I applied to the San Mateo campus, so I am thinking we will hear around the end of Feb/beginning o...

First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know its hard for nursing students to respond to a million questions from applicants like myself, so it is very helpful to have everything in one place. I have a few additional questions- -For the clinicals, why did...

Also, from what I hear the EC exams are very similar to the practice material you can buy through the website. Im taking the pathophysiology exam :)

I think it should be fine if they say that the challenge exam is accepted, since they already know that a lab will not be included with the challenge exams. However, I would highly suggest getting a tutor to make sure you learn the material well. S...

I am only familiar with SMU. I think you should definitely apply, but if you do get a B- or a C you might want to consider retaking it just in case. Samuel Merritt looks at your "last 60" GPA and your "science GPA", which does not include stats (ch...

I just posted in another forum asking about this too! I think clinicals/labs are 2-3 days a week and classes are also 2-3 days a week, depending on the class, if the clinical 8 or 12 hours, or if it is a class with only a lab and not a clinical, etc....

For those who are in the program, I would love to know what it is like! What is your typical week like? How many days of classes, clinicals, lab, etc? Are the clinicals 8 or 12 hours? Do your register and pick your classes, or is it more of an automa...
