Today I got an email for my waitlist. I'm 8 out of 10. I don't think I'll get in, but good luck and congrats to everyone ?

Don’t give up hope!! I’ve seen people in past forums get in lower on the waitlist

I got an email this morning saying "Congratulations, You've been admitted." for the Summer 2022 program that starts in June. Then 2 more emails regarding logging in and such. I just emailed them yesterday about when I could expect to hear back, so this is a shock! I hope I have some classes with some people in this chat! ? Good luck everyone! Fingers crossed!

Hi folks, I wonder if any of you (ideally those at the San Mateo campus, but would love to hear about Oakland as well) can provide some insight about schedules and hybrid/virtual vs. in-person classes/labs/sims/etc.

1. I am curious to know how many days/week you need to be on site in San Mateo vs. attending classes/labs remotely. Are didactic class hours/clinicals/labs typically between 9 am-5 pm? Or are some scheduled during early morning/evening hours?

2. Also, can you provide a sense of how many days/week clinicals are?

3. Is there a list of potential clinical sites? Trying to get a sense of how far they are from the SM campus. 

4. Are there any required weekend clinicals/labs/sims/classes?

Thanks in advance for any answers/guidance you can provide!

Hi all! Do you guys have a sense of (1) how long it takes to have your degree conferred when you complete the program, (2) how long you need between finishing classes and taking the NCLEX and (3) how long most people are waiting between passing the NCLEX and receiving the RN license (recognizing that CA BRN says 10-12 weeks, but not sure whether that's the reality or just the maximum it can take)?

Thanks!
