Just checking to see if anyone else has applied to CPMC's RN Training Program for summer '16 / fall '16? I'm assuming that Sutter has decided to not participate in Samuel Merritt's T2P this summer/ fall as I noticed they don't have it listed on SMU'...

I recently graduated with my ADN from College of Marin in Kentfield, CA. I was just accepted into a transition to practice program through Sonoma State University at Marin General Hospital. There is no guarantee of a job at the end and I'm not paid ...

Happy_Nurse26 he interviewed before the open interviews as he did his preceptorship at the St. Luke's campus. Another who also did her preceptorship there also was not accepted. Some of my cohort who interviewed with me on the 23rd received a lette...

One of my classmates who applied to this program received a letter in the mail indicating that he was not accepted to the CPMC RN training program. So whether or not you get in you will be notified.

Also, for those who have been accepted do they specify if you will start in the summer or fall cohort?

Tmarstaller, curious did you interview on the 17th too? Just wondering if they've only gotten back to those folks they chosen who interviewed on 5/17. Anyone who interviewed on the 23rd heard anything back yet?

Ilovedodo I wouldn't jump to conclusions. There's a lot of factors that could be in play such as where the applicant lives, etc... I'd be curious to know if the people who received letters interviewed on 5/17 or 5/23. I'm also unsure if they are ...

Well you must have done better than you thought because you obviously made a great impression. Bravo!

Congrats tmarstaller! If you feel comfortable would you mind sharing if you'd done clinicals at a CPMC hospital or any other tidbits of your info that you felt helped make you a strong candidate to get in?

Thanks for the heads up lakota93! I haven't gotten anything in the mail just yet.

Hey passion4womenshealth great to hear from you! I was surprised more people didn't step forth and jump into the conversation as I know there must have been at least around 350 applicants. I have no idea how they are going to prioritize applicants ...

Thanks anna565 for the advice. I did do some research and SFGH does have an ongoing new grad training program for both the Perinatal and NICU depts as well as RN positions. I'm interested in both. For any people who have done clinical preceptorshi...

I have a great opportunity to possibly do my senior nursing preceptorship at SFGH's Birth Center. I've done a few other clinical rotations at the hospital but did my L&D/ Postpartum/ NICU rotations at another hospital. I was lucky enough to do ...

I'm hoping some of you might be able to clarify some questions I have about the chancellor's formula and how city college nursing programs calculate your score. It seems that maybe different schools utilize it differently. Csn they fo that? For the ...

Thought I'd start a thread for those of us who've applied to Santa Rosa JC for Fall 2014 / Spring 2015. Does anyone know when we should expect to hear back about the lottery? It's my first year applying.

I have no idea what your schedule is going to be like but you can see as the Fall class schedule is out. My first semester consisted of Nursing Fundamentals lecture, Pharmacology, Clinical rotations, Skills lab and Open skills. It doesn't look like...

Which hospital do you work at? It will especially lend you well if its a hospital under contract with COM.

No I think that's overkill. You will learn it as you learn the material. The one thing you can study ahead is pharmacology. I feel like out of all our books our pharm book best simplifies the pathophysiology of different conditions of the body.

I wish I had enjoyed my time off that summer before school started instead of trying to prepare! Do a light review of anatomy and physio and you will be fine.

IIII have two children 5 and 16 months. When I started I was a straight A student in my prereqs and I did all 35 units of prereqs in a year. I thought no sweat i am going to rock nursing school. But nursing exams are different. Its all about thin...

For those of you who have been accepted and are entering COM's program this fall congrats! I just finished my first year in the program and loved it. The program is rigorous but the instructors are incredibly dedicated to their students success. I...

I'm finishing up prerequisites to apply to nursing programs for fall of 2014. I am 3 months pregnant and need to finish everything asap. This fall I'm registered to take Anatomy, Physiology and half of a self paced algebra course. I found out tha...

Hey did anyone else apply for COM's Fall 2014 cohort? I am on pins and needles waiting to hear from them. Its my first year applying. Its going to be a very long several weeks for me. I asked how many applicants they received and it was 147. I'm not ...

I love COMs nursing program. The instructors really care and are very likable and friendly to students. Don't get me wrong its still challenging but I'm happy to be in a smaller cohort. My clinical sites have been great. The only downside is we d...

I'm planning out my prerequisites to apply for nursing programs in Spring and Fall of 2014. I have quite a few courses to get through in one year. I need to take General Biology and Intro to Chemistry this Spring semester. I can't take Anatomy, Physi...
