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 ...

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 just finished my first year in the ELMSN program at the Oakland campus, and my experience has been really poor with clinical placements. If I even got placed, it was never in Berkeley or Oakland. I live <2 miles from campus and I’ve never been p...

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...

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...

That sounds great! I'm not attached to FB at all. Maybe we'll all discuss once we have the final cohorts?

I did! This is the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/457617822355756 If any trouble with the link, search "Samuel Merritt ELMSN 2021 Oakland" Everyone else who was admitted, please request to join the FB group ? Looking forward to meetin...

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?

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...

hello all! I am wondering if anyone has insight as to the exact deadline our references have to upload their letters of recommendation to the system in nursingCAS? This is my first nursingCAS application, so I'm a little confused. Do they have to upl...

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...

Hi, has anyone who applied for the Fall ABSN after the Oct. priority deadline hear back yet?

After being on the July waiting list for over 3 months, I just got a letter in the mail saying they don't have a space for me in July OR October. That was reallllly brutal. I hope none of you on the alternate list have to go through what I just did. ...

Congratulations to you both! I still haven't heard, eek. I feel like I'm going crazy! Wondering if I should send an email or if that'd be too annoying for them.

Hi all, thought I'd chime in here as one of the folks still waiting to hear if I got in off the alternate list for JULY :/ Yes, I've been waiting more than 3 months. So I definitely feel your pain on the waiting period! Everyone for July heard by th...

Hi, has anyone else on the alternate list been asked to interview?

I think the only thing I read was that by the end of May some alternates knew they had gotten an interview for the October cohort. I didn't see many who posted about getting into July. Either way, I think alternates are going to be waiting at least a...

I feel like I read somewhere- might have been in the July 2017 forum- that it was June 22nd. I'm sure DCN will tell you the exact date if you call!

Just got an email back from Rachael stating that they can't give specifics about the waitlist.

I'm so sorry for those that haven't heard or are getting a letters. It's a bummer to have to wait so long, especially for a rejection. I wanted to ask those that received an email saying they're on the alternate list (like I did)- has anyone found ou...

I got an email saying I'm on the alternate list as well. Kinda disappointing that we have to wait potentially 3 more months to know.

Nothing today for me. Anyone else hear anything?
