Pharmacology is integrated into the nursing courses, so you’ll learn the relevant drugs alongside the pathophysio in each nursing course. That two unit pharmacology course is an elective but not one you specifically have to take in the program.

Oh I see. Thank you very much ?

You’re welcome. And no, there’s no enrollment fee (like when you say you intend to enroll, you don’t pay anything for them to hold your spot). most fees that I can think of are bundled into your tuition. (Health center, etc)
New student orientation was something between $60-70 and included a catered lunch, so obviously that cost might change if you’re not allowed on campus for that. There’s also a nursing orientation at Folsom hall separate from the new student orientation on main campus (which is for all majors) but if I’m remembering correctly, the nursing orientation didn’t cost anything extra.

@Etak I have a couple random questions. I know they'll be answered later, but if you're available, they popped into my head. What do you wear on campus? I know it's Sac State scrubs during clinicals, but I was curious what the policy is on campus. Street clothes? Scrubs?

2nd question- What's the policy on hair color? My hair is currently natural, but I've been considering some (subtle) color.

You wear scrubs to clinical and lab with black or white shoes (mainly black, mainly white, it’s fine if there are patterns or logos). You wear business casual plus a sac State embroidered lab coat to your clinical prep days (which is at the hospital) and then it’s business casual for everything else on campus.

I'm not sure that there is a hard line on hair color, but they do want you to look professional, and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with vividly unnatural hair colors. Lots of people have tattoos which were encouraged to cover if you can reasonably (at clinical) and then people with facial piercings and stuff like that remove them for clinical. The bottom line is they want you looking professional, especially in hospitals where we are guests as students.

@Etak Thank you so much for answering all my questions.

I wasn't thinking anything crazy hair color wise, it just did make me curious of the policy.

Regarding the Sac State scrubs, are we allowed to buy different brands?

No, they have a vendor you order through, they have to have the embroidery, they have to be the right green, and I think the brand is Grey’s Anatomy (I think some people find extra pants on amazon) but you’ll definitely at least have to get the tops and lab coat through the vendor. Heidi will send all the links and codes to order. Tip: the vendor takes forever so order them as soon as you get the link to make sure you have them by the start of school.

@Etak

Thank you. I figured they were embroidered. I'm glad to hear we can at least get more pants though and they're not cheap quality.
