So, who applied?

what campus will you be attending? what is your background ie where did you go to school? was it a quarter system or a semester system?

I got a wells fargo med cap loan.

I have a degree in Communications and worked for advertising and sales. I also volunteer for the ER. I am going to the SF campus. . What campus did you go to? How was the schedule like?

Thanks

RNCC--I also got accepted to SFSU/Sequoia for Fall 2011, but I applied to SMU for Fall 2011. I'm waiting back on the reply for that, but I'll be in the same boat as you if I get accepted to SMU. It's a tough decision, because there are pros and cons to each program (e.g. time, tuition, etc.). However, I think both are very good schools from what I've heard/researched. Let me know how it goes

hey ashlee or any other current students - i was looking at the curriculum and noticed that there isn't any classes on the medical-surgical unit. do you know if that is incorporated under any of the other topics? i haven't seen a curriculum in any school (community college, state or master's level nursing) that doesn't include med-surg?

I think maybe "Managing care of adults" is their version of med-surg? Med-surg is general nursing stuff, so I'm sure we learn it!

Specializes in CCRN, ECMO, IABP, CRRT, LVAD.

MCA 1, 2, and 3 are all med-surg ;)

Managing Care of Adults is MedSurg for the most part. Don't worry about it! We'll get what we need.

Hey all San Mateo students!!!

Does anyone plan on going to the Welcome Event on April 6th? I need advice! My husband and I booked a trip way back to take our little one to Disneyland that week ( we are leaving this Sunday) Do I scramble to try and change the hotel days to make it to the event or do I leave it as is? I would hate to miss out on a opportunity to get to know you all better and to see our campus but I found out so late in the game, and there still is orientation!?

Any advice?
