I'm planning to apply to following ADN programs: Grossmont, Palomar, SD City, Southwestern and Mira Costa. Can anyone tell me where any of these programs send their students for clinical rotations? Which hospitals in San Diego will we practice at?

Hey Museic, Thanks for the info on clinical sites. Do you know where Grossmont students rotate to? Are any of these hospitals quaternary or tiertiery? Trauma Centers? I know Tri City is well known for wound care.

Fall 2014 RN Programs- Results are in and I am blessed. I was accepted in to my 2 top choices: College of Marin ADN program and Sonoma State's BSN. Now comes the moment of truth- I have to choose one and decline the other. Worked so hard to get here...

Hi Nurses, I am a senior BSN student and just received my preceptorship placement for my final semester of nursing school. I will be at Children's Hospital Oakland in their Surgical Center, Walnut Creek California. Anyone out there have experience he...

Hi Friends, My friend and I are 3rd year Nursing Students at Sonoma State University in California. It is very apparent we must learn Spanish to serve the community here in California. I have 3 years of Spanish classroom courses, but little conversat...

Summer before I begin Somoma State RN program, fall 2014. Any suggestions on how I can prepare? Brush up on medical terminology? Spanish? Any great podcasts out there that would help?

Runbabyrun you are an amazing resource, coach, peer, etc. thank you! Will check the links and get busy! I would really appreciate being able to message you personally with an additional questions since I am new to SSU. But my membership here doesn't ...

Wow, your posts are HUGE HELP with this crossroads decision. I wish I could talk to some bridge program students from COM to SSU- as that is super appealing to me. How many do they accept each year. I didn't realize it was mostly online. Wow. I took...

mswtruth- wooohoooo! So happy for you. Your commute is fabulous. Congrats.

What does it take to become a nurse midwife? Your NP? If so, where will you continue to study?

Thanks RunbabyRun. Not sure where I want to work yet. Probably private practice eventually, but maybe hospital. Labor and Delivery looks great now, but might feel different once I get there. That's actually a great topic for boards, what "work in hea...

Go Cats! Love Chico. Congrats on your acceptance. That is a great program. If something changes let us know.

Caligirl, my son is a freshman at Chico State. A good friend of mine who is now a Ped ICU nurse at UCSF went there too. And my brother got his masters as Chico and still lives there. Love that town and that school. Congrats to Meib92, caligirl7 and ...

@mswtruth Pretty sure I will be at SSU. Trying to gather information now about the differences between programs, besides obvious BSN vs ADN. I know COM has a great new building and all the labs are new. Can anyone shine some light? And thanks to Runb...

Hey Boleo, I was accepted at SSU for Fall 2014, transfer student with BA from SDSU about 25 years ago. I just finished CNA program at SRJC. Do you know anything about Skills Lab at SSU? Any information about the program? I haven't taken any classes t...

Hey all, I was accepted at SSU two weeks ago in their transfer program for Bachelors Students, and looks like I will get in to COM as well. At COM I am 24 out of 143 in the lottery and they will announce winners soon after they receive all the TEAS r...

Hi Tall4, Im crossing my fingers for you. Hey Meib92, in at SRJC right now in CNA program, graduating May 15th! Also taking a class at COM. Im going to SSU orientation May 2nd. Will you be there?

Thanks Runbabyrun, will do! Still learning......

@meib92 & @caligirl7 & @Tall4 - Congrats on your acceptance / alternate (which sounds like you have a great shot) status! I just received my acceptance email last week for pre-licensure BSN program and I am here searching for info on SSU. I'm...

@adamsli88- I ran a search from Sonoma State RN info and this thread came up. Your info on clinicals was helpful, even if it is a few years back. I just got accepted to the BSN transfer program at SSU for students who have their bachelors degrees. I ...

Thanks DinaLin, Can you give me an idea of what you do first semester? And have they told you where your clinicals will be? Any highlights? Or things I should be prepared for? So excited to connect here with you and all.

Hi Dina! Meeeee. I will be seeing you at the July Orientation. I haven't been to the campus yet. I was a student at Grossmont College and Bay Area community colleges for past 3 years finishing pre-reqs. I hope to visit Miracosta soon. Let's stay in t...

I applied to SRJC and COM as well for Fall 2014. Waiting to hear....nothing yet. I am attending both schools right now, and completing SRJC's CNA/HHA program. Its a good intro to basic skills of patient care. Good luck to all and I hope we all get ac...
