Again, it has been years since the last post and this is STILL happening! I am a new grad RN at a hospital. My manager assigned me the usual list of 20-30 online trainings that a new RN must complete. I told him that I hardly have time to take lunch...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has applied for the Fall 2012 BSN at Sonoma State. I applied. They say they try to get back to applicants by the end of March. Since it's April, I'm getting a little nervous. I think last year they announced acceptances on...

Hi mtnWoman, Thanks for the recommendation. I have actually decided to accept a place in another program. It was a tough call but one of a "bird in the hand." I start at CA State Univ, Sacramento in the fall. I'm excited. Best of luck with WCU's ABSN...

Hi VintageSwagger, The program director sent us the direct link to that newsletter. It was great! So informative. It was really nice of you to post it here. I'm pretty sure, though, that everyone in our program had it sent directly to them.

Hi wanisai It's quiet because everyone who was accepted (or most of us) has switched over to the class Facebook page. If you PM me with your email address, I can add you, if you want. Join us! You can also search for the page on FB, but it seems kin...

OK, crebs, thanks for the advice.

Hey wanisai, I just PM'ed you the link. Hope it works! Everyone, you should now be able to search Facebook for "Sac State BSN Fall 2013" and find it. See ya there!

I changed the Facebook status back from "secret." Try again, Christine! Also, look in your PM, I sent you the link. See ya soon!

Hey any other Second Bachelor's students- We are not (yet, at least) supposed to go to any orientation session, is that right? That's how I understood the letter but it makes me a little nervous. Are you going to an orientation?

forgetmenot21, I know what you mean about insurance costs; it's terrible! I think the Medi Cal idea is an excellent one. You might also look at 'regular' insurance companies (much as I dislike them). I use Blue Cross. They have some quite low cost pl...

Hi ElliotPB and other 2nd baccalaureates who are accepted to start this Fall. Here is what T__ says in the Nursing Dept about how and when we need to apply (and get transcripts) to the University: "Instructions how to apply to the University will be ...

I will be freeing up my spot in the Fall 2013 cohort for one of you on the waiting list. I've accepted Sac State. I wish all of you the best of luck!

Hi ElliotPB, I'm a 2nd Bacc. I was wondering the same thing so I emailed T__ (not supposed to use names here) in the Nursing Dept. She emailed back saying that she would get back to me within 3 days. It has now been 3 days, so I'm planning to email a...

rafaeia, two things: I think there is a Housing resource at Sac State. I don't have the link but I remember seeing one with rental listings, I think, and ways to connect with other students. Also, a current student told me that Arden was a nice area ...

Hi swinglifeaway12, I am on my way to applying for the next cohort, Jan 2014 (ABSN at WCU). Now that you are in the program, what do you think? I'm sure it's a lot of intense work. Do you feel it's preparing you to be a good nurse? One thing I'm won...

Oh, thanks for that info, vickymarie. Oops. I'm thinking I should keep the Facebook page name the same for now, since it took me so long to get it set up and get word out. Once most of us are on it, we can see about changing the name. (Can you chang...

Oh, wait! It IS searchable! Finally. Search for "Sac State BSN" and it should come up. The full name is Sac State BSN Fall 2013. Sorry for all the posts about this. Moving forward...

Thanks SO much for the help everyone! This eases my mind on a number of points (like taking Pharmacology this summer). If anyone else wants to join us on Facebook, the page still isn't searchable for some reason. Just use the URL facebook(dot)com, th...

Thanks so much, Nurseinthemaking20!

Yeay, michelle_13!! That makes 3 members. Thanks, eama4444, for the tip.

I guess for now, anyone who'd like to be on the Facebook page should PM me with their email. Then I can "invite" you. I did make it Open but it still doesn't show up when I search either. Darn. PM me!

Argh, sorry I'm not better at this. I made a "closed" group, but not "secret," named "Sac State BSN Fall 2013." I'm sitting there all by my lonesome. ... Is there something else I should do? If you PM me your name (whatever you go by on FB), I coul...

All right. I think it worked this time. Try it!

OK, thanks. I'll try again.

Well, it was a hard decision but I have just submitted my form to decline this program. It is too much debt for me to take on at this point in my life. Also my husband has reservations about living in SF, even though it's a GREAT city. On the up sid...
