They send out acceptance emails in mid-April. :)

Don't lose hope yet! Last year there was around 150 applicants

Yes everyone in my class got the 15 local points. And I'm not sure what I got on my essays, I never asked. I know they're pretty important though. Two people in my class made it into the program who were on the alternate list.

Staygoldkat, Every person in my class received the 15 points for being a local student. As stated before it can vary year to year though. Good luck

Good luck to you! I'm currently in my second semester in SSU's BSN program. Here are some words of encouragement - there are quite a few of my classmates who scored lower on the TEAS as well as have lower GPAs with some Bs in the prereqs. This year o...

I handed in my application for SSU Nursing the other day... Now I'm dying of anticipation! Any other hopeful nursing students for Fall 2014 out there? What were your grades and scores like? What schools did you apply to? I also applied to SRJC, COM, ...

I know you asked graduates from SSU and I'm just starting... But I figured I would invest and buy my textbooks for nursing school, in case I need them throughout the entire program and beyond. I purchased three of the textbooks used from half.com (ma...

My overall GPA: 3.94; nursing prerequisite GPA: 4.0

Congratulations! One, for becoming a mother, and two, for getting accepted to nursing school! Those are both very exciting milestones. I can't make a ton of recommendations, as I am also in your shoes (beginning a nursing program this August). Howeve...

I have a friend who's graduating from the program this fall. From what I've heard from her, their clinicals are always in the morning (beginning at ~6am), and can range from any day of the week for each rotation. (i.e. Tuesday/Wednesday for a rotatio...

Congrats to everyone who got in! SRJC has a has a great and highly reputable nursing program. You are all very lucky for making the lottery:)

I'm glad that I can help! :) I picked those bridge students from COM's brains about the bridge program because my boyfriend wants to go that route. Basically, your first summer in between your first year and second year, you take an online class thro...

Thank goodness you got into your #1! I know two others who applied to SRJC and they both got the same exact e-mail I did, saying that they're "high up" on the alternate list. Which leads me to wonder if they've only notified the rejects/"alternate" l...

Did you check your spam folder? If you didn't hear anything, that must be good news

It was through my personal e-mail

I got an e-mail yesterday evening saying I got rejected/am an alternate. It makes me sad, because I did all my prereqs there and have grown attached to the school. It was my #2 choice nursing program. Thankfully I've already been accepted to SSU's nu...

Obviously the main difference is that SSU is a CSU, offering a BSN, and COM is a community college, offering an ADN. College of Marin will cost significantly less, as SSU's tuition is roughly $7200/year. They're both two year programs - so it depends...

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

Hi there! I got accepted to SSU's Nursing program for Fall 2014, and I don't have my CNA certification yet. The certification doesn't boost your application or give you any extra points (because ALL students have to have it done before starting). But...

That's very awesome! Well done. When are you planning on taking your NCLEX now that you've graduated?

I got accepted! I am already registered for classes for my first choice nursing program, but I'm glad to know that CSUEB would have been a backup had I not been accepted to the other school. So those of you on the wait list - my spot will be opening ...

Hey everyone! I was on this forum a while ago, and I just wanted to give you all an update. I got accepted to my #1 choice BSN program, which means I'll be declining my spot for CSUEB if I get accepted. So one more seat may possibly be open! I wish y...

RunBabyRun - do you know what will happen with clinicals at sutter when they switch buildings this year? I'm not sure how well I'd do with an intimidating instructor, but I do know I work 100x better under pressure so maybe I'll switch sections to be...

By the way, RunBabyRun, I love your new avatar! That's one stunning graduation cap, and once again, congrats :)

Georgettes, that's interesting and I didn't notice that there's different instructors. I just signed up for the first section for both 301 and 303. I assume we get split into different groups for clinicals but I imagine we'll all be together for skil...
