So, who applied?

Hi everyone. Congratulations to all those accepted. I am still waiting for San Mateo decision.

So am I! I hope soon!

Does anyone know yet when the SF program begins?

[OakRN2B]

Hey KT - you could always drive from Concord to MacArthur or even Fruitvale and catch Bart there. That might save some time - Bart parking is $1.00 per Day but you have to get there fairly early.

Hey all!

First off, thank goodness someone started this thread! I have been having a near heart attack of excitement reading all these comments. I am waiting on the San Mateo decision, so when I see that SF and Oak decisions have already partially or entirely come out I get giddy with anxiety. All I have to say is, thank goodness I decided to get a smartphone. Ya know, or else I wouldn't leave the house computer for fear that I may miss the very moment that SM emails me something that is, hopefully, very welcomed to my inbox. How is everyone else dealing with the stress/anxiety?

I feel as if I may be coming off as a quite dramatic, but this is nursing school. Haven't we all stayed up that extra hour to study for an exam and went to class sick with the reward of nursing school at the end of the hard fought tunnel? Isn't that all we obsess about when we get into a classroom full of nursing school hopefuls? And here we are, about to realize where all that work has gotten us. I think we all deserve a nice foot massage for completing years of specific prereq's in anticipation for this.

Anyone have an idea on when San Mateo decisions will come out? I hope that it will be soon for all of our sakes...I mean, really... we have been living with this for 6 months! I am so very excited for all those people that have been accepted! You deserve it! And good luck with all your school planning.

Now I will just have to live with the rush of adrenaline that I will undoubtedly rush my system when I see "Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2011" in the subject line of my email list. Alas, it will most likely be from "allnurses".

Thanks OakRN2B and Kt21! I think I'll go with the San Ramon class because it is the closest. Again thanks so much guys! Good luck to all those waiting to hear from San Mateo! I know how difficult it can be.

Does anyone know what the typical class/clinical schedule is like for the SF campus? Are classes pretty much 8-5? I am in the process of trying to arrange childcare and need to have an idea to get a system in place. Are clinicals 7-3 or 3-11 and will we have a choice? It would be nice if the school would give us this infomation.

Hi all and congratulation to everyone that got in; l will also like to know what the program is like, class and clinical time as well. It will be very helpful to hear from someone that is already in the program. Am referring to the San Francisco campus; thanks for responding.

Taramtoms, l pray you hear the goods news that l think we all deserve to hear. Good luck to you.

I agree, I really need to know what the schedule will be like for the Oakland campus so I can arrange for my son's daycare. If anyone finds out, please post it here so we can all benefit =) I'm going to try calling them but I have a feeling it will be useless.

[Kt21]

Good luck getting them to tell you what it will be like, but let us know if you find out anything.

Hi Everyone,

I made a facebook group, if you would like to join and get connected through that. Just Search Samuel Merritt ABSN.

I just got accepted to the SF campus for the summer program. A little surprised to find out so close to the beginning of school, but happy to be in anyway!
