One more Q :). How have the staff turnover rates been at a place like Stanford? I can't imagine they would be like I've witnessed where I live but wondered.

Hi! Thank you for responding! I have a bombardment of questions but I will only ask a few and not take much of your time. 1. What do you think of the culture there? In general, are the staff happy? Is the department adequately staffed? 2. I know the area is expensive and people probably commute from all over the Bay Area - how is the quality of life with the compensation versus the high cost of living area? I am aware of the payscale of the union (for reference). 3. What are some of the challenges the staff and department are facing right now?

Anyone worked in the OR there? Looking for feedback on work life.

AFAIK you may run into problems at school, however I've seen plenty of nurses at magnet hospitals with them uncovered.

CRNA. Father is an anesthesiologist and witnessed countless hours of OR time watching what he does. Love it.

I work at the SF VA. No idea if they partner with COM (wouldn't be surprised if not - lot of hoops to go through with the VA).

Fortunately I'm a CNA at a hospital in SF and plan on working while in school so I hope that might get me an in after the program! :)

Thank you! What were some things you wish you had done prior your first semester? Can be something you should have learned/refreshed yourself from prereqs, bought something etc.

Have to turn in an acceptance/decline in seven days. That's probably why it takes a while. I wish you the best of luck!

52 reporting in. Just got a letter of acceptance. Good luck everyone else!

Still nothing. They still must be 49-51 right now. I emailed Joan last Thursday and she said the number they're on (49) hasn't changed and she wouldn't know any more for a few days.

They must still be between 49-51 right now. Hope not everyone has accepted!!!

Still waiting here for an email. A little anxious, but not nervous as of yet :)

52 here sitting here waiting :)
