Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2019

[NurseStu2018]

Just wanted to start an information-sharing thread for those applying for the ABSN Summer 19 cohort at Samuel Merritt University (in Oakland, CA and San Mateo, CA). Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

@futRNRock - I'm thinking we just keep the newer combined one since we've already got 14 members? Thoughts? Figured as we get started, we'll probably have a lot of the same questions and can post them there (vs here). If we decide later that it would be best to separate, I'm totally ok with whatever the group decides.

Hi All,

Let’s use the combined FB group for April/June. I’ll move folks who joined https://m.facebook.com/groups/304445800198332?ref=share TO THIS GROUP https://m.facebook.com/groups/585883038505511?ref=share

Not sure about anyone else but I had over 100 hours of volunteer experience at a local hospital. I got my acceptance yesterday as well for June start at the San Mateo location.

I’m getting anxious now because last cohort they sent out the acceptance letters first, then waitlist and rejection last..... in that order and not all at once

The folks I have known who have moved through the program said that acceptances are sent out in numerous waves. This is still early in the process! So, folks who have not yet heard back, I would try to remain calm ?
