As someone who took to heart what the Bureau of Labor Statistics said on their website in 2011 about nursing being a profession with the fastest growth and most jobs available, it is so discouraging to see that the situation is so different on the gr...

I second JPA_RN's sentiments in saying that a post like nurserr's is very helpful. There isn't a lot of incentive for those you have had success to come back and post after getting in. Explaining it in that level of detail is great. Thank you!

Does anyone know the final stats for number of applicants and number accepted? It would also be helpful if some of you that got in (and are sadly unlikely to be looking at this page any longer) could share a bit about what you think they are seeking...

WOW, that's WAY early. CONGRATULATIONS, MyRoseyCareer! It's the start of a very rosey career, indeed. Did you turn your app in well before the deadline or give them an indication you needed an early response? Perhaps they go through the apps in the...

Do they admit only once per year? Are there start dates other than in June? If Sac-based grads get preference I guess that generally means grads from Sac State and Samuel Merritt, right? Thank you for the feedback.

Hello, I also applied for admission to the 2013 SMU ABSN program. My first choice campus is Sacramento. I'm also eagerly awaiting the admission news in late September/early October and appreciate hearing your thoughts as we navigate the process. Be...
