They just had one for the med/surg units and there may be another in the spring. Keep checking their website -- they post it on their Job Finder as Clinical Nurse I - New Grad Training Program.
I'm so sorry you're going through this; sleep deprivation is just awful, and can cloud everything you do during the day. I think you need to make sleep training your top priority. It's no wonder you are falling asleep during the day if you are waking...
The new 12" MacBooks are out and they are great! I'd definitely choose it over the Air. Super light (2 lbs.) and thin, beautiful Retina display, available in 3 colors, and full-sized keyboard: Apple - MacBook - Tech Specs I have a 13" MacBook Pro and...
I hear you, Kym! Anyone else confused by the orientation email? It mentioned a "mandatory" orientation at SF State in July, but then said the SF State orientation is optional. Are there two, with one being mandatory and the other optional? Confused! ...
The weekend of June 13/14 looks good for me, if that works for others. I should also have time closer to the start of classes. Anyone heard anything new? Very curious about our class schedule for fall, schedules for the program and hospital orientat...
I am in a similar situation as 3doodle with kids' events, work, and general life stuff right now. I also work as a CNA on Sat./Sun. every other weekend, but if you hit me on the right weekend, I'd love to meet up!
Glad you accepted! There is also a scholarship program for the Sequoia BSN, although I'm not totally sure how it works (maybe you need to be in your 2nd year to apply?). Here's a little info: https://www.sequoiahospitalfoundation.org/kennettscholarsh...
Hi 3doodle, just an FYI for when you accept: When I accepted my admission, it took me to a page with a confirmation message, but I didn't get an email or anything. I emailed the grad office to make sure all was ok with my acceptance and to see if the...
I finally got my email today notifying me of acceptance to SFSU through the grad school (2nd bac degree student here). It's nice to know I'm fully "in" as I was having paranoid thoughts about having forgotten something crucial with my school applicat...
Hey all! Saw you on the other thread but thought I'd post over here since this one is specifically for our program. I mailed my letter on Thursday so I'll wait until tomorrow to call them. Definitely want to make sure it doesn't get lost in the mail!

Right, not for the main campus program. For the SFSU/Sequoia BSN program (which takes place at Canada College but is identical to the main SFSU BSN), there were interviews in March. I got an acceptance email yesterday for the Sequoia program. Did an...

Actually, we did have interviews in March for the Sequoia program. They said they were piloting it with our group, so maybe they will roll it out to all applicants next year. It was nice to know I'd gotten a little further along in the process, but s...

They did specifically mention points at the info session I attended, but that was for the Sequoia program (and it was also for applicants to the cohort that started this past fall). Like you, I think they are looking for well-rounded applicants, but ...
space monster replied to Angel_12's topic in California
The way I understand from the info session I attended it is that you will get points toward your application for having volunteer service/paid healthcare experience, but if you are strong in the other areas such as TEAS, GPA, etc. (and get a high num...

I'd be interested in hearing about the same. I know they changed their curriculum so that patho and pharm are integrated into the different subject areas instead of being taught as single subjects. In theory this sounds like a good idea, but I wonder...

Also keep in mind that you can still put it on your resume as "Selected for Phi Theta Kappa" if you choose not to join. That's what I'm planning to do.

I got CNA training through Careway Health Institute in San Mateo over the summer, and there was a 16-year-old in my class. He had to call around a lot to find one that would take a younger student. I know that is probably pretty far for you, and clin...
I've also been out of college for a while (other than prereqs) and recently scored 90.7% on the TEAS V. My approach was to get the study bundle offered by ATI -- their study manual as well as the 2 online tests. I took one of the practice tests in th...

I took anatomy and phys (both with labs) as separate classes simultaneously in one semester, and it worked out very well. However, my classes were with the same teacher (who was great), and although the classes weren't integrated (because some people...

The CC I attend also has cadavers, and it was wonderful to be able to learn Anatomy through them. Our lectures were held in the lab, so we had ready access to the cadavers and viscera during class. We were given some background info on each one, incl...
space monster replied to kn.burch's topic in Pre-Nursing
At my school they are separate classes, and ordinarily you are required to take Anatomy prior to Physiology. When I took them last semester they were offered concurrently because the instructor offered to teach them in an integrated fashion. I manage...
