    space monster replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    space monster replied to bayareanurse05's topic in California Nursing

    The info session was in late March. It was primarily for folks who want to apply this fall for the cohort starting in fall 2014. A lot of the info was related to the application process (e.g., you can...

  4. Sequoia/San Francisco State Fall 2013 BSN applicants

    space monster replied to bayareanurse05's topic in California Nursing

    At the info session I attended the director said Sequoia hired 17 of their grads last year, but some years they only hire a few. I think it's based on whatever Sequoia's needs are at the time. So...

  5. SFSU FALL 2013

    space monster replied to lakerfan510's topic in California Nursing

    One thing they mentioned at the Cañada info session is that they weren't yet sure whether they would hold classes over the summer session. So even though it is down to 4 semesters, it would still...

    space monster replied to lakerfan510's topic in California Nursing

  9. Taking A&P during the summer... With a 3 week old!

    space monster replied to Taylor1432's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Aside from taking away from bonding time with your baby, I think your biggest issue would be sleep deprivation. I cannot even begin to describe how sleep deprived I was for the first couple months...

  10. Take micro with anatomy, or with physiology?

    space monster replied to space monster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for all the great advice! At my school, anatomy is a prerequisite for physiology, so I don't even have the option of taking them at the same time. I am hoping to get the same teacher for both,...

  11. Nor Cal Volunteering

    space monster replied to lauraline's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been volunteering at Stanford Hospital, and it's been a great experience. I started out in a reception role (basically a go-between for nurses and patient families), and now I'm helping out on a...

    space monster replied to fbanh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My kids are 2 and 4 and I'm still doing prerequisites. I've had some people tell me that it's actually better to do something intensive like nursing school when your kids are very small, as long as...
