Just received the official HR letter for E2 - Medical / Oncology ICU. It is mostly the same for everyone, except things like department and reporting manager is different for everyone. For those who received email, reminder to respond to our point-of-contact by tomorrow 5:00 p.m. PST!

I’m thinking not all unit managers called and decided to have HR contact officially. My unit manager told me that the person usually doesn’t take longer than a week to send out notices and to contact him if it doesn’t come by this Friday.

I received second interview for one of the ICU's :)!

-------------------- mentioned that they were focusing on ICU/ED these last couple of days and when they are done being notified, he will focus on Med/Surg/Tele/Onc later. "If you are not selected for an interview, you will receive a final notification by Sunday 5/9 (if not sooner)".

I received an email today asking about the status of my license or test date for NCLEX. At the time I applied, I did not have it yet. I was told to respond within 48 hours so that the information can be forwarded to the leadership team. After I responded I received an email from our point of contact for an ICU spot! Good luck everyone!

Mine didn't have it either! But I'm assuming they caught that omission and started adding it!

Hi everyone! Congrats on those who has gotten interviews so far! I wanted to pop in and ask whether or not people received an email this morning about the "Update #3" ----------------- posted on facebook? I'm curious if it was a pan-email sent out to every applicant or just interviewees. I have not or have yet to receive anything else.

Hello everyone, my name is Kevin and I am now a 3rd semester student. I'll be attempting to join your facebook group. Congrats to EVERYONE who will be attending our program. It will be great I promise! Reach out to me on facebook when I join the page with any concerns you may have. I will either answer you or refer you to someone you could contact.

Hi guys, someone should start a CSUS Nursing Class of Spring 2021 (Your graduation class Semester/Year) if you haven't already! I will try to join it once it is made!

Congrats on those accepted! For those on wait list you might have a chance still! It does not mean you guys are not good enough to be a nurse so do not take it personally!

No, it means exactly what it says it means. Meaning that if you passed your AP exam, it will not count towards your GPA calculation. Therefore, it would in turn make the effective weight of the other classes you took weigh more (unless you have the same grades for the rest of the classes). Think of average of n=100 vs n=2. Hope that helps!

If you are 100% sure, then yes you are in the program. Thing is, I thought I had a certain amounts of points which was above the threshold but it ended up being a tad bit lower than I calculated because of how they viewed a class I took at one of my three schools...I still got in on the first try without being wait listed. I mean it took me by surprise because I had checked with them prior that they wouldn't use that particular course because it wasn't applicable but they ended up using it anyways. I mean, I don't want to tell you not be worried but just wait until that final release letter to jump with joy =). And trust me, we know how hard it is. We had our admission letters delayed for several weeks because of the fires and with a newly hired admissions coordinator who is wonderful by the way. They would tell us a date and push back. Not their fault of course, but man the stress in this forum was unreal.

I would say occasionally. I say you have quite a few towards the beginning. One thing I love about Sac State is that all you have to do is TRY and do your best and actively participate. I have done research on my schools and other people's experiences in programs across the nation and sim labs in other programs are a huge part of your grade and add to the stress of nursing school. Here, it is about participation and practice and you get a few points for it pass or no pass essentially. I know that is more information than you asked for but it doesn't hurt to give it to you. I would say don't worry about it. Do some prep if you can so you don't look bad and do your best.

Hi everyone, sorry for being so late but I am also a first semester student and just want to wish everyone good luck with admissions! I will try to answer any other questions you guys may have about the program ? To the person before, Peds rotation is done 3rd semester with OB! Second semester is Mental Health and ICU. I hope to see some of you next semester or during orientation. It is a bit hectic in the beginning and because the cohort is so huge, it is hard orient yourselves. @anyn What subject areas do you need help on? If English (grammar), one of them, I forgot the app but there was this TEAS practice test with all the sections though I found it only useful for the grammar portion. I found it worthwhile. It was the area I am not good at and I got over 90% in that category just by practicing that. It's called ATI TEAS Practice Test on Androids.

I have a question. So when you got waitlisted last year, did they convert your class units into 4 units instead of 5 which gave you a 3.44 instead of a 3.5? For me, they waitlisted me because my quarter unit Chemistry course is 2.666 when converted into semester. And that would've given me 3.81. But they just put it as a 4 unit course and made my gpa into a 3.65 which makes me lose a point.

Congrats to all who got in! I can't say I'm shocked. I feel as though the last couple of semesters people found out that its a bit easier to get into Chico state and that's what led to the increased cut off limit. This is actually the last semester they will be accepting non-local students I believe. I had 91 points and that puts me on the 23 alternate seat which is INSANE. But I got accepted into Sac State and I guess that's where I'll be going! :) My friend told me they accepted 20 waitlisted people because people probably received admission decisions from other schools but I'm not going to bet on that haha. It was a couple semesters ago when the cutoff was like 88.

If you're waiting on Sac I think you have such a good chance. It isn't for sure but since Sac State delayed their admissions some individuals may have just picked another institution since it's so late already. In addition, you're number 2! I would have nothing to worry about considering I think someone said they accepted 16 last year off the WL!

I'm afraid I'm far from local hah...I live in San Diego county. I might be giving up my spot as I would prefer to go to Chico though I would have to call and make sure the fires didn't impact clinical rotation etc...But I do love Sac!

I got in! Check your emails folks!

Well it's been delayed again...understandably so. Tentative decisions before December 6th. For anyone that is also waiting on Chico likely before December 7th.

Did anyone receive an email that the nursing application review is still underway? She says it will be out Friday Dec 7th or Monday December 10th! Crossing my fingers!

They state that the absolute latest on their website will be the 21st. While I understand the fires have been hugely devastating the school is already responding later than most other schools. In addition, it sucks not knowing whether or not one should apply for Fall 2019 schools as that date will put it even past the extension that CSU apply has made for priority registration. (Normally Nov 30th but now Dec 15th)

Yes, some programs are 3. Some that I apply to are 2.5. All the ADN are 2 years exactly. But I already did my pre-reqs and quite a few GEs, so I might as well go for BSN. If I go ASN > BSN option that bridge program takes 18 months which is not worth it.

Yes they did actually! For some reason I knew it was from the nursing department because the school itself would never call me out of the blue. I just wasn't sure if they left a message for me saying I was denied or that I was accepted...glad I'm on the latter side haha.

So I got contacted last Thursday by phone that I was accepted! I can't believe it! The reason why I was so shocked is because I never received an email from them when you guys got yours and when I found out why it was because they put a an u instead of a v know my email and it never sent! I got accepted with 82 points! I will be attending Palomar if I don't get into a CSU. I'm still conflicted because Palomar is very inexpensive but because I have done a year of undergrad I might as well be at a CSU if I got in because both programs are around 2 years.. any thoughts?
