  1. Sac State Nursing for Spring 2018

    Keen Observer replied to ohhsheela's topic in School, College Programs

    There are some previous cohort threads on this site where I remembering seeing someone post a list of common medical abbreviations that you will be tested on in during the second week. You'll have to...

  2. Sac State Nursing for Spring 2018

    Keen Observer replied to ohhsheela's topic in School, College Programs

    You're welcome. Nursing school units don't compare with lower division units. You'll have 12 units in first semester, but it will feel like 24

  3. Sac State Nursing for Spring 2018

    Keen Observer replied to ohhsheela's topic in School, College Programs

    Good questions. Yes, I am working. I would say 80-90% of my cohort has either started working, or have been hired. There's a lot of variables that go into when you start looking and how long it takes...

  4. Sac State Nursing for Spring 2018

    Keen Observer replied to ohhsheela's topic in School, College Programs

    I am a recent graduate of the program. I'd be glad to try my best to answer questions if anybody has them. One common question asked by people who get into the program (or any nursing program for that...

  5. Sac State Nursing for Spring 2018

    Keen Observer replied to ohhsheela's topic in School, College Programs

    Having spoke with the nursing faculty about this, they had it changed because the large number of pre-nursing students retaking pre-requesite classes made registering for these classes challenging....

  6. Sacramento State Spring 2017

    Keen Observer replied to ouais's topic in School, College Programs

    Good question. The only thing I wish I had done differently would have been to have taken a pharmacology class beforehand. Pharm is integrated into the curriculum, but having taken it before would...

  7. Sacramento State Spring 2017

    Keen Observer replied to ouais's topic in School, College Programs

    I am in my third semester and will be graduating in the Spring next year. I have no regrets about going to nursing school here at Sacramento State. It's an accelerated program in the sense that it's...

  8. Sacramento State Spring 2017

    Keen Observer replied to ouais's topic in School, College Programs

    The School of Nursing at Folsom Hall is having an open house tomorrow from 2-6 for anyone interested. There will be current students there to advise and answer questions, as well as tours of the...

  9. Sac State Fall 2016

    Keen Observer replied to banandalf123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's a hint: go to your csus mailbox and send everybody in your cohort an invitation and a link to the cohort Facebook page. You can search for classmates using the search option in the upper...

  10. Sacramento State Spring 2016 Application

    Keen Observer replied to coolmommy99's topic in California Nursing

    Off the top of my head:Tuition and related fees are about $3,500/semester. Textbooks are either $455 (e-book bundle), or $755 (e-books + hardcover textbook), depending on which you choose. My...

  12. Sacramento State Spring 2016 Application

    Keen Observer replied to coolmommy99's topic in California Nursing

    About the immunizations, I would call the school of nursing and explain your situation. They'll probably be lenient if there's any conflicts. Otherwise, yes, you can get them done now. If you have...

  13. Sacramento State Spring 2016 Application

    Keen Observer replied to coolmommy99's topic in California Nursing

    The list Jl0202 provided is similar to what our cohort received. There are a few differences, but it's not anything to worry about now. I'd just take care of the vaccines. If you don't have...

  14. Sacramento State Spring 2016 Application

    Keen Observer replied to coolmommy99's topic in California Nursing

    This is a list of about 190 of the medical terms you'll be tested on during frontloading (your first 2 weeks). There's about another 20-30 terms that aren't on this list, but it's a good start. You'll...

  15. Sac State Fall 2016

    Keen Observer replied to banandalf123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I recommend retaking any prerequisites you have less than an A in (as long as it's only your second attempt at the course). Sac State SON will calculate your prereq GPA using the highest grade. Every...

  18. Paying for an absn at Samuel merrit

    Keen Observer replied to Natassia2011's topic in California Nursing

    I recommend contacting their financial aid office. When I talked to their financial aid officers, they showed me a pamphlet that listed a substantial amount of grants in addition to the Cal Grants and...

  19. When to start studying?

    Keen Observer replied to JePierreB's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Consider this: many CSU's want you to complete your prereqs by the Fall prior to a Fall transfer (i.e. by Fall '16 prior to Fall '17), so by completing your prereqs in the spring of 2017, the list of...

  20. Starting pre-nursing this fall! Need Advice!

    Keen Observer replied to bayarea123's topic in California Nursing

    How many nursing schools should I apply to? (I understand it's very competitive) Apply to at least four nursing schools just to be safe. The CSU programs tend to be the most competitive because they...

  21. PreNursing at 30+

    Keen Observer replied to TeagMariez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went back to school at 29 (currently in my early 30's, starting at Sac State SON in the Fall), although I worked part time, and have no children, so I'm no expert either. That said, although I've...
