Hello Everyone,
I am about to send in my application to CSU Sacramento for Fall 13 and was wondering if there are any other people in the same predicament. Would love love to hear your experiences as well.
Michelle_13: if your a transfer student, yes I think you do still have to attend the general new student orientation. Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure you do. It's pretty simple, they allow time for u to get your student I'd card and things like that. Then they split u up based on your major and u go to like a little session with a speaker who talks about your major When I attended my new student orientation (I was a lower division transfer) I went the nursing major group, and there were a few in there who were already accepted into the program. That's why I'm pretty sure u will have to. I'll never forget the lady kept saying, we own you, so let your families know, we own you. Lol talk about scaring everyone.
Nursemommaof3boys- I've always admired the parents that I met in my prerequisites. I always wondered how the heck they do it. When my stepson is here I can't get much of anything done. He likes to ask A LOT of questions and sit right up under me when I'm studying. But then he's with his mom half the time, plus my significant others mother is available to babysit whenever so I don't shoulder that much of a burden. So for all those parents out there with multiple children and going into nursing I commend you.
Great interests. It's nice to hear that some of us already have ideas on what we want to do.
Nurseinthemaking20-It is challenging to say the least, but I believe if you want something bad enough you just figure it out lol! My husband and I lost everything in 2007 (we were loan officers) and at that point I decided to go back to school. I never, ever, wanted to be in that position again. It has been a long road and I am just praying I get in to the program; then it will feel like all the craziness and hard work has paid off! :-)
Kids are hilarious! They always want the focus to be on them as you know with your step son.
Nursemommaof3boys: I couldn't agree more. If you want something, you work your butt off to get it, and even when things don't seem doable, like you said you figure it out. I am right there with you. I just want that acceptance so that I can sigh with relief and happiness that my hard work paid off. I'm terrified of everything I did turning out to be a waste. I've neglected a lot of relationships (friends, family, and my significant other) in order to get what I need done. Thankfully most of them are understanding, but wouldn't it be so terrible to go through all of that and then not get in? I don't want to face that.
Nurseinthemaking20- I totally agree, it would be heart wrenching to work so hard and not get accepted!! The wait will be anguishing, but at least we are here! Getting through the pre-reqs is an accomplishment in itself...so, now a new set of worries!!
Kaylab13- Welcome! I am new to the thread as of today as well! You have wonderful stats, congrats on your hard work!!

Do you know if we have to attend a school orientation still even if we get in the program? Because I know there's a mandatory nursing orientation the week before school.
