  1. Usfca university of San Francisco BSN SPRING 2017

    Wait to see what your aid might be. I have grants and loans now and am hoping for a larger grant in 2017. But if you aren't getting any aid it will cost way more than 80K. The tuition doesn't even...
  2. Usfca university of San Francisco BSN SPRING 2017

    It was a bigger envelope (a little bigger than 5x7 maybe). It came regular USPS and I don't remember anything on the outside, just a return address of USF
  3. Usfca university of San Francisco BSN SPRING 2017

    True about the clinical spots being guaranteed, but USF is 44K per year and the nursing program is 3 years long, just an
  4. Usfca university of San Francisco BSN SPRING 2017

    You're not alone, lol
  5. Usfca university of San Francisco BSN SPRING 2017

    well, if you don't have those done you're looking at fall if you are lucky. Some friends I have that had ALL classes done still had to wait one semester so they could take the freshman Nursing classes...
  6. Usfca university of San Francisco BSN SPRING 2017

    You may not have to. Depending on how many classes you have completed and if there is space you may start with me this spring or in
  7. Usfca university of San Francisco BSN SPRING 2017

    absolutely! I know the feeling! I hope you all get in. I was admitted in January 2016 and after 1 year I am FINALLY starting clinicals! I'm so excited and nervous! Good luck to all of
  8. Usfca university of San Francisco BSN SPRING 2017

    Hi all, Usfca student here. Keep in mind that they do admissions up until the start of class since some people decline offers. I know a student that was admitted days before orientation!! p.s I'm an...
  9. Someone can correct to me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the speech class is a requirement to sit for the NCLEX. So I'm thinking you'll need to look for programs that don't require all prereqs to be...
  10. Maybe you can use your leave to study for the TEAS? If you truly want to be admitted to one of your "fav programs" you will have to do good on your TEAS do you have a 4.0 in your nursing prereqs?...
  11. Financial aid question

    Its the first year for the switch and of course it's my highest income year. You are correct, the whole reason is so people can know early and know how much aid they will get from the schools they...
  12. Financial aid question

    They changed the rule this year. It's now going to a retro retro tax filing. 2015 taxes for 2017/2018 school year. 2016 taxes for 2018/2019 tax year and so on. I wish it wasn't since my income for...
  13. Financial aid question

    FASFA will be using 2015 taxes for 2017 aid. I called the department of education to be sure and they said yes, 2015 for 2017. 2016 taxes will be used for
  14. Financial aid question

    Yes. Unless something changes with the FASFA rules
  15. Financial aid question

    I have the same situation. The FASFA has gone to using taxes from 2 years ago talk to your school. While I can't do anything about the FASFA using my high income from 2015 my school allows students...
  16. Taking physiology during a 6 week winter session

    It's totally do-able. I took physiology for 6 weeks over the summer. I thought it would be harder than it was. Only having one class allows you to soak it all in and not worry about any other...
  17. How Long is/was Your First Semester Hours?

    I start in January too. My schedule is Monday 7:55-1:35, Tuesday 8:00-10:45 and clinical on Friday
  18. BSN accelerated?

    If it were me I would contact the schools you are interested in for some additional insight to their individual programs. The schools should have the nursing curriculum laid out so you would know the...
  19. My Nursing School Plan

    Good
  20. My Nursing School Plan

    Since you live in the Bay Area it would be wise to get your BSN. If it were me, I would work and take one science prereq at a time hopefully getting A's in all the sciences. Do summers as well doing...
  21. Are you going for BSN or ASN?

    BSN for me. I wish I could have done the cheaper ASN route but with schools pumping out so many new grads with MSN's (and not enough jobs to go around) I have to have a BSN to be competitive for a job...
  22. Schools in NYC/nursing advice

    I spent 12 years in my previous career and will start nursing school in January (I'll be 35 this year and have 2 kids). As much as you may hate your job, my advice to you would be to save your money...
  23. Micro Unknown

    First, you need to make a dichotomous key. Once you have an initial plan you can start testing. Some people use the gram stain to start, but if you make a mistake in procedure it can set you back. We...
  24. Ucsf commute + parking

    I don't work at UCSF but grew up in the area. If it were me, I would park in the outer sunset and take the N Judah in. You can drive around and see how close you can park to the hospital where there...
  25. Good luck to you!! Be sure you have ALL classes done to save you some money. Especially philosophy, ethics and religion. Those three have to be taken at USF if they are not already done. You can take...
