I'm finding myself in a similar situation. A person who is in my cohort, but a different rotation/clinical group, stopped on their way to the bathroom and asked me and 4 of my group mates a question...
If you're gonna be at the NE 95 class the week before classes begin, I should be able to meet all of you. The 2nd years have a skills refresher course that week
They require a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 from all college courses ever taken. You do not apply to Sonoma State first. They will have an info session either late fall or early spring that will go...
Sonoma State doesn't open their application for the bridge program until Spring. They typically hold 11-12 spots for COM students, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will fill those spots with COM...
Hi All! I was asked by some of the Faculty to create a Facebook Group for all of you. I know some of you already mentioned making one, but I wasn't sure if this had been done already. I tried...
My name is Mandy. I think I said in a previous post that I am one of the 1st year liaisons for the Student Nurse's Association. Unfortunately I will not be attending the picnic because I'm doing a...
No problem! They used to form groups based on location but I guess it was too complicated. It doesn't really matter though because ultimately you end up going all over the place including hospitals in...
We don't do any rotations at UCSF. There are some rotations at San Francisco General and St. Luke's. Depending on which clinical group you were assigned to, you will spend your entire first semester...
Once you have the list, it will be super easy to invite people to the FB group. Also, SNA met yesterday to start planning the Welcome Picnic for the class of 2019! It will be on Saturday, August 19th....
If you make a Facebook group, please make it private and invite members of your class when Angela sends out the official cohort list. SNA usually facilitates this for the incoming first years during...
Angela will be emailing you a document that will show who is in your clinical group, exactly which classes to register for, and which hospital you will be at your first semester. I would imagine she...
I would email one of the reps and ask if they think they will start another session following your first year. For our cohort, they had a session starting the month before classes started at COM, over...
They used to place you based on where you live, but I don't think they are doing that anymore. They didn't do that for our cohort. And it doesn't matter much anyways. Every group will end up having...
So from what I can tell, you will be having lecture on Monday and Thursday from around 9:00-12:00ish. You will have clinicals in the hospital on Tuesday and Wednesday either in the morning or the...
Congratulations everyone who has gotten in so far!!! As I said in an earlier post, I will be a 2nd year when you start. I am also your acting 1st Year Liaison in the Student Nurse's Association at...
Sonoma State is a bit different. You don't apply until your 2nd semester at COM and the first two classes with them are the summer between first and second year. It is my understanding that you also...
I am doing the BSN program through University of Phoenix. They are accredited and recognized by the Board of Registered Nursing. I've heard from multiple nurses that it doesn't matter where your BSN...
Hi All! Current 1st year nursing student here! I was number 43 in the lottery last year. Not to dampen your spirits but, it was a good long while before I got my acceptance. It can go really slow...
Yeah, I'm doing it. I want my BSN and since a spot in the Sonoma bridge program is not guaranteed, I decided to go with Phoenix. Technically today is the first day of class for the 1st summer
Does anyone know how they pick who the alternates will be for next year? Do they just offer it to the next 10 people in the lottery from the number they stopped on? So say they stop on #39 this year....
Don't give up hope yet, jtuyub! They've gotten up pretty high in the lottery numbers before they had all their spots filled the past two years, so I'm hoping that trend continues. I also heard from...
