Yay! Thats wonderful news! Congrats! If you are concerned about the way the uniforms will fit try some on @ the nursing department. They are very accommodating. So happy for you!

Thank you! :) I'm going tomorrow to turn in all my paperwork and try on the uniforms. I still get the butterflies thinking I got in! I look forward to meeting you all at orientation! :)

doctormomof3, how far in advance would you say you received the acceptance email before the csus website updated their number? I'm so so close. Because I wonder if she sends out acceptance emails as people drop/decline or if she waits for a few before sending out emails at once. If anyone has any input...I remember her saying at the info session that she can even be adding students up until the first week of class?? Of course knowing sooner would be better but waiting to find out my fate is so hard.

congrats to those of who got in! to those of you who got from the alternate list: what were your stats?

student4568, the website alt list was updated about 2 or 3 days after they phoned me to let me know they had an open seat for me. I was alt #41. From what I understand, there were 5 seats that opened up, although I have no idea how closely they opened up before calls were made to alternates. I know they keep the list open until the end of the first week because they can still get openings at that stage of the game. To make life a little easier on yourself in case you get the call close to the start of the semester, do the following:

1. Get your CPR certification completed. Make sure it is the CPR/AED for PROFESSIONAL RESPONDERS. I made the mistake of getting certified for lay responders so now I'm having to take the right class in order to meet the requirement. Oh well, more practice! :)

2. Make sure you have your vaccinations in completed...if you can't find your vaccination card, have your doctor order titers for the vaccinations that need to be met. Don't put it off!

3. Get your 2-Step TB test done. Make sure its the 2-step test....this is required for health professionals/nursing schools.

4. Get your car insurance, health insurance info together.

All this paperwork will need to be uploaded to a website that manages the background checks, immunization info, and other requirements. I hope this helps! Best wishes to you on getting the call even if it comes in the 11th hour! Hang in there!!!

Hi fall 2012 applicants! I applied for fall 2014 and was admitted! Just a quick question ---when did you have to do the drug/alcohol screen test by because I am not sure when I will be in Sacramento until I move there in the beginning of August. Just wanted to arrange a weekend with work to come into town for it.

Thanks!

I would contact the school of nursing and ask them if there are places closer to you. I did mine in Sacramento, so I am not sure if they have any other places.

ashley324 · May 26, 2014

Xaireel okay thank you! When did you have to get it done by? I want to start researching for that bc I believe ------------- is out of office the next few days

xaireel · May 26, 2014

I couldn't remember as it was 2 years ago. you should have the deadlines on your checklist. You can call the school of nursing office tomorrow instead of emailing as it could provide a quicker answer.
