Dear gklin33, I have been accepted for the Fall 2012 program at Hayward. Would you mind telling me whether we are required to purchase books at orientation? I have always purchased my college textbooks second-hand and would love to continue doing so. Please advise... Sincerely, David

@momin96,98,99 Thank you very much for the information. I appreciate it! Did you have to drive to the hospitals where you rotated, or were you escorted to the hospitals on a bus with the entire nursing school? How was it like getting a job after school? Would anyone mind sharing their SFSU experience? Thanks! David

Hi Folks! I have been accepted into both SFSU and CSU EB. I need to decide which school to go. Would you mind sharing your experience in your respective program? Did you like your professors? Were program administrators kind? How difficult were the classes? Were you well-prepared for the NCLEX? How were clinicals, and which hospitals did you rotate through? What should one look for when choosing rotations? I dream of working at either UCSF, LPCH/Stanford, or Oakland Childrens. Which program would be a better choice given these preferences? Did you complete an ICU residency right after school? How difficult was it to get books? Were books expensive? What should I keep in mind going through the decision/admission process? Thank you very, very much for your time and effort! I appreciate ANY and ALL information! David
