Sacramento State Fall 2020

Jayla281 · Apr 2, 2020

Hey hope everyone is staying safe during this pandemic! I wanted to ask if anyone has any updates regarding the pandemic and how the nursing schools are handling it?( such as Stan or Sac state). This has been a hard time for everyone and hopefully we can get some answers !

Hi Jayla,

Currently at Sac State, I would describe the semester as in a quasi-limbo. I'm 1st semester, and they currently have us completing 1 of our 3 courses online (nursing professionalism) as it does not require skills/sim lab or clinical. The other two courses are kinda/sorta still on as we continue to work on small projects and lecture material at home, though compared to the first half of the semester, it's a near standstill. While we are doing odds and end sort of assignments for the other two classes, I believe we are having to take incompletes in these two courses because we have to be in clinical to complete them, per the BRN.

I can't say exactly what the plan is to get us back on track because it has not been revealed to us; the faculty are still dealing with the fallout. They have kept us involved in the discussion about next semester but as of yet, there are no resolutions. The school of nursing has been absolutely incredible though, the standstill is not their fault as they are required to follow BRN regulations to remain accredited as well as follow state mandates about social distancing.

What I do know, per the president of CSUS, all Summer courses will also be online for all of Sac State, so I really doubt we'll be catching up on clinical or skills lab until the Fall.

This week is "Spring Break," so I don't anticipate any new information at the moment.

Thank you for the update, I greatly appreciate it!

I have been on edge these last few weeks hoping to hear back from the nursing program from Stan State. I've applied with a 4.0 GPA , CNA experience and I got an 81.3% on the TEAS but I am worried that it won't be high enough.

However, I am glad that your program is working with you guys and wish you the best ! ? I know we are all ready for this catastrophe to be over, and I hope that you are having a great Spring break !

Thank you so much for the update, @Etak. Know that we appreciate it. I, for one, have been desperate for information, so I'm sure there are others as well. It may not be what everyone wants to hear, but I'm glad to at least learn something. I'm sure the limbo is driving you all crazy too.

I would really appreciate if you could let us know if you get any more info? Thank you so much again.

They're conditionally admitting 40? But then she give us the points for student #80 and says it'll drop. Someone want to help me understand?

I don't get it either. It would have made more sense to tell us how many points the applicant at rank 40 has if they plan on admitting that much.

I am so devastated ? this has gotten that much more competitive.

From the email last round for Spring, they admitted 80 and 81-155 were placed on alternate status. The applicant ranked #155 had 65 points. It did not mention how many points #80 had.

From my perspective, it sounds like this new email will admit 40, with 41-80 being alternates. Like last round, anyone under 65 points, passed 155 was disqualified so I am assuming anyone under 71 (#80 and higher) will be disqualified as well.

I applied last round with 62 points knowing I wouldn't get in, but just curious. I applied with 68 points this round thinking I'd be at least an alternate since I know people who have gotten in with 68 points as an alternate. Now, there's no way I'll be able to get in even as an alternate with 68 points. It was a nice dream while it lasted LOL. I'll probably redo TEAS for the Spring application round to increase my score.

I emailed ------------------. Typo and all ?‍♀️. Hopefully she doesn't judge too much on the typo. I'll let everyone know if/when I hear back.

That's interesting. I definitely would have thought they would tell you number 80! That's what I assumed because it gives the last admitted when the statistics are posted.

Good luck with your next TEAS! Hopefully next round won't be so crazy!

Spot 80 had 69 points last semester before verification
