You'll be fine Noodlesauce. I interviewed on Monday and found the panel went out of their way to put our group at ease. There were 8 individuals on the panel which was more than I expected but this was a very kind and professional group. I have been ...

Sorry JellyFishJenn just saw that you replied. Yes it is cheaper and its okay insurance. You go to the NSNA (National Student Nurses Association) website Home , when you sign up for CNSA you are also becoming a part of NSNA. Once you become a member ...

Does anyone have insight into how they choose the nurse grads for this program?

Okay so I have one more final and I am done with my 2nd semester of nursing school (of four). I thought first semester had moments of difficulty and it was rigorous, time consuming, tiring. Its a little like boot camp, they are trying to clear your b...

Hey there... Insurance is required. Join CNSA and it will cost you only 120 per month through the student association. It Needs to be paid in lump sum too but its much cheaper than sac states insurance plan. Copay is $40.00 and prescriptions $25 for ...

Crebs your mailbox was full so I could not respond by PM.

1) I found a list online of items to purchase for CSUS from a past semester, but it doesn't mention a blood pressure cuff, watch, specifics on shoes and dress code, etc. Would be able to give a brief overview of the equipment that we'll end up needin...

Yes this is pretty accurate, we took a long test and a few quizzes but I have heard other higher semesters dosage calcs get more detailed and complicated. Your mentor will likely be able to help you with study tips though. You'll meet them at orienta...

iDont stress too much! I think they let you retake the tests if you fail up to three times total (first try counts towards your grade) I passed on the first try so dont know for sure. Start studying the abbreviations as soon as you get the email fil...

Crebs, Everyone in the program has to sign that form, I did and I have had no contact with UCDMC.

I was volunteering at the open house last night in the skills lab. I am super surprised that they released the acceptance letters early but congrats to those who made it in, and keep thinking positive to those that didn't get an immediate acceptance,...

Once accepted how long will we have to complete CPR/background check? Are you taking any co-reqs or other non-nursing classes this semester? Wondering if you have the minimum work load or more? Since I was accepted for Fall we had almost the entire ...

Good luck everyone, I made the Fall 2012 class and wanted to let you guys know the program is totally do-able. Some weeks are harder than others but most importantly, prepare for a scramble of activity after acceptance and a start up expense of ...

Yay! Thats wonderful news! Congrats! If you are concerned about the way the uniforms will fit try some on @ the nursing department. They are very accommodating. So happy for you!

You didnt receive the email because I had emailed the SON to ask about the two requirements and it was included in their reply to my question. :)

Hey Vickimarie does that mean that this is our assigned clinical section throughout the whole program? So it does not change from semester to semester? What should we expect for schedule changes for following semesters? Any clarifications would be g...

A list of the textbooks we need with ISBN numbers would be really nice. Anyone willing to supply that information from last semester or do the editions change too often for that? I tried to find it through Sac state bookstore website but it doesnt ha...

I just received an email from the SON about the Flu shot and Hep B vaccination. The flu shot you cannot access until fall. The answer was basically that Yes you can sort of disregard the flu shot until its available in October and it wont affect your...

I have been told by a friend who is in 3rd semester this fall that the fanny pack is handy otherwise its easy to lose equipment in the dove scrub pockets, she also said the dosage calculation sheet/chart with abbreviations is essential to have. A dif...

Sukashu I am getting two since I think Ill be too busy to wash the same set of scrubs every day and have it ready by the next. That is also what the School Of Nursing recommends although you could buy one now and another later.

Im in section 8. LOL None of us are in the same section? I know what you mean shmorgan, I was stoked that I got the day off in the middle of the week so I can have a longer Thanksgiving break. My dad expects me to travel to AZ with the kids and that ...

It was nice meeting you too Xai. See you in August.

My university orientation is tomorrow as well. Perhaps I will see you there Xaireel. :)

I was planning on ordering two uniforms so that I can alternate them. I think it added up to $241 (I love the cargo pants). Does everyone have their BLS for healthcare providers arranged? I have mine in the works since I have a friend that teaches it...

I will max out for my bachelors degree @ $45,000 in student debt. I have three kids and since I am a stay at home mom during the day, (student at night and part time mental health worker at a psych facility) so we will have to pay for childcare which...
