   rjay01 replied to lokiloki's topic in California

   SMU fraudulently inflates the clinical hours we do in their reports to the board, and there's nothing we can do about that. There's no transparency there and students are not involved in that process. There's no official reporting option for nursing ...

   rjay01 replied to lokiloki's topic in California

   I can corroborate the previous two posters about the seriously lacking clinical placements and senior synthesis/preceptorship at SMU. I am in my 5th semester of the ELMSN program at the Oakland campus; the first 5 semesters are all pre-licensure so e...

   I was admitted to the CM program and I am also feeling the anxiety about $$$. I haven’t received any information directly about financial aid. I’m in the middle of filling out FAFSA, and I emailed someone in Financial Aid earlier this week with quest...

   rjay01 replied to FutureNP90's topic in School Programs

   If you look at our curriculum (on the website), our first clinical is in the first semester- psych/mental health nursing. My interviewer said they expect to have the clinical resume as usual, maybe with less site options though and TBD if Covid surge...

   I’m not looking for housing either, but I want to pass on the two best resources (in addition to Craigslist) I’ve used for finding an affordable room in shared homes in Oakland the last 5 years I’ve lived here. Lord knows we could use something affor...

    hey everyone, I also received an admission email on Saturday for Case Management. I was stunned! I interviewed just a few days prior. Congratulations to everyone who has been admitted so far, and for the FNP folks- thinking of you as you interview th...

    I also applied to Case Management, and I have not received any emails from them about a preliminary application review. I'm wondering if that email is for the FNP track?

    rjay01 replied to FutureNP90's topic in School Programs

    is anyone else a UC graduate? I never had to take an English Literature course, and I'm realizing now I may have to take that as a pre-req if none of the other courses are satisfactory. I'm so confused it's a pre-req but not so common that I had to h...

    Hey, I just came upon this program. I've only been to public, non-religious schools (high school, university, and community college classes), so I've never taken any religious classes like the ones I see on the prerequisite list for Concordia. Have y...
