Sac State Fall 2013 Applicants

rafaeia · Feb 28, 2013

I thought we had to wait until May to hear back from them?
eama4444 - Thanks, just wanted to check that I did that part right :)

I think she means the admission decision to the university, not the nursing program. We will find out in May for nursing. Hehe.

Does anyone have any idea what the program is actually like? How many hours a day it is and how many days a week and what not? I just dropped off my application today at Sac State. So nervous

wanisai- I know! I will probably start checking at midnight Friday, and then every minute following!, lol

michelle_13- We are all nervous! In my obsessive searching for more information I came across this pdf from Spring 2012, with potential weekly schedules for different sections the first semester. It is not as good an answer as you could get from a current student, but I think it is better than nothing, so I thought I would share.

I've new doing the same thing! My poor boyfriend has to listen to me reading him everyone's posts on here talking about the program. Glad everyone's freaking out like I am. I'm looking at an 81 right now but trying not to get my hopes up. Everyone on here has been really helpful with all of their information though.

I've been obsessively researching also. I'm even annoying myself. I've been basically stalking this forum reading what all you guys have been saying about the program. Everyone has been so helpful.

Exactly! Everyone has been laughing at me for all my obsessing, but this is such a huge thing, I think some obsessing is appropriate. :laugh:

I'm sure, anybody who has been working so hard for the past few years to get to this point is obsessing. Of course we are obsessing, this is so important to us.

Eama4444- thanks so much for posting that schedule for 2012. That gives us a pretty good idea of how our scheduele could look like if we get accepted. It seems like we would for sure have two days off. Sunday and then one week day, either Tuesday or Fridays. And we'd get MOST Saturdays off but not all. That's pretty cool. I'm used to having to go to school or work 7 days a week so that's not bad at all! It's too bad we don't get to pick our sections though.

Thanks eama4444 for that schedule! It look brutal. It's going to be difficult to keep track of where you're supposed to be every day.

Hi all! I'm currently in the Sac State nursing program and will be a fourth semester student when you all start (as long as there are no major SNAFU's this semester!). Just wanted to say - the schedule and everything looks intimidating before you get into the swing of things, but once everything normalizes about three or four weeks in, it's not as disorienting as it may seem.

If any of you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

Vickymarie- thanks for responding to our thread! Im sure I speak for everyone when I say that I really welcome and appreciate any feedback.

Since your pretty far along in the program, what advice can you offer us about working. I really want to keep my job, but if its completely a bad idea I'll quit. Is it manageable to work a few hours a week?

I got an email saying we'd find out about admission to Sac State after 4 today. Has anyone heard anything yet for those of you who aren't already at Sac State?

I received the same email, and it at least saved me from checking all day until 4. Still no admission decision though, so I get to obsess now...
