I applied to CSUS (Sac State) American River College, and Sacramento City College for the Fall 2014 Nursing Programs. It looks like I will be less than 5 points shy from making the cutoff for Sac State (booo!) and I got into ARC as an Alternate for Fall 2014 which guarantees me a seat in Spring 2015 (YAY!!). I was wondering if anyone has heard from Sac City's nursing program with any decisions? My application status just says 'Application Received'.
This is a rough process... I feel exhausted from the waiting. :) Thanks and good luck to all you applicants out there!
That's very valuable info, akulahawk... thank you!
I've weighed my options quite a bit lately. I will be declining my spot for SCC Fall 2014 and keeping my spot at ARC for Spring 2015. Hopefully this makes a SCC Fall 2014 alternate very happy! :)
I didn't make the cut for CSU Sac's nursing program in the Fall, but I'm okay with that... for now. I will be at CSU Sac in the Fall to take some upper division GE classes. I was awarded 2 generous grants that I don't want to go to waste. My focus at ARC and SCC has been to take pre-reqs for CSU Sac. With all that time invested, I'm not inclined to give up on CSU Sac's Nursing program. So, I will be retaking the TEAS test to hopefully get a better score. This also gives me time to take Pharmacology, Med Terminology, & Dosage Calculations classes before the Spring. :)
Good luck to all you SCC Nursing students! See you in the field in a couple years
congrats on getting into so many schools! they all sound great.
I also applied at Sierra, haven't heard back yet. First I thought that it might still be too early but then I saw your post and they are already sent emails out. I have 4.0 gpa and got 80% on teas. Do you mind sharing your teas score?
I also applied to Sierra and have yet to receive a response nor has one of my friends who applied also. I was thinking that I would give up hope on the 16th but it looks like it is already too late. I am in for Spring 2015 at ARC and was selected to be an alternate for Spring 2015 for SCC. I was also accepted to Delta college, but that is way too far for me to travel seeing as I am in anyways at ARC in January. I wish Sierra would let us know one way or the other, it's killing me not knowing!

Congratulations on deciding to attend ARC's program.
I hear you. I emailed nursing department last week saying that I know that they sent out emails already but is there a way to find out if I got in or not. They emailed me back this Monday saying that "as it is stated on website nonselected applications won't be notified" and if I was not contacted by now I was not selected. Sorry to brake this bad news to you but decisions are made. I went through same thing. Good luck! Hopefully you have other choices.
For those of you who were accepted to Sierra do you have any additional info on the BSN merger? The website is vague and I would be very interested in that option in the future.
I was accepted to the sac city spring 2015 ADN program as a last minute alternate and as a result, didn't have the opportunity to go to orientation. They sent me a bunch of handouts, but nowhere in them is the package code for certifiedbackground.com. I think they gave the code out at orientation. The deadline is dec 22nd and the school is closed until jan 5th. Is anyone else in the same program that has the package code? I'd be forever grateful and will help you study during the semester if you need it! Haha. I'm a great study buddy!
Thanks, dianah. I have actually contacted all of the people you have mentioned, with no avail. Unfortunately, the school closed for winter break almost immediately after I received my acceptance email, and will not open again until January 5th. The deadline to purchase is December 22nd.
You should be able to send an email to one of the 1st Semester Professors about this. Sign into the campus GMail and the system knows all the professors in the Los Rios System...
How is nursing school going for you? How do you like the school?
If you have a moment, I was hoping you could just give me a quick summary of what the class schedule is like 1st and 2nd semester? How many days? When are clinicals vs. class/lab time, etc.
What time were you usually home?
I have a family and I'm trying to prepare when I get into SCC or ARC. ;-) I tried posting this question elsewhere but no response, so hopefully you can help.
