Hi everyone. New to this thread. I was 10/10 on the waitlist for San Mateo June start. I am wondering how those that are being accepted off the waitlist are being notified. I am getting so anxious! 

I received an email last week offering me a spot for fall cohort if I the waitlist didn't move - maybe they will send you the same?

Thank you for the information Allison and kmma2rn. I’ll keep checking my email and the portal. Hoping it moves a smidge more! ? I received an email last week inviting me to the orientation so I plan on at least being a part of that! Congratulations to everyone who got in!

Does anyone have an idea of the curriculum/schedule during the program? Like how often are clinicals, what classes are taken during what semester, etc? Any insight would be appreciated! 

I’m curious as well as the school is not providing much insight. I need to figure out childcare! Based on previous forums it seems like schedules are often changing, last minute clinical hours and 12 hour shifts. Can you please send me a private message if you find anything more detailed? Thank you!

Here is the academic calendar for ABSN 2021-2022 cohorts.  It does not include our clinical schedules, but gives you an idea of overall schedule (I.e., holidays)

For classes/semesters, go to the SMU ABSN site and click Curriculum:

Thank you for the quick response! While this is helpful, I’m hoping to better understand what a typical day / week looks like for a SMU ABSN student. What time classes/ clinicals begins and end etc 

does anyone know if classes will still be online for the June SM intake? I realize orientation will answer many questions, but childcare takes a long time to find and I don’t want to lose this week searching! 
 

im sooo excited!!

Hi! I am in the Oakland Summer cohort and so far I have classes m-w about 8-4:50. Clinicals won’t start until week 6 and we don’t know that schedule yet. I do know that it’s 10 hours, twice a week. Not sure if that’s on Thursday/fri, sat/sun or a combo. Right now all instruction is online but labs and simulations are on campus. We kind of don’t know how our days are looking past that info. Hopefully this helps. I have two toddlers so the schedule was a huge question for me too.

Thank you so much for the info! Is the two clinical days a week on top of skills/lab? Or is it two days total for clinical/skills?

I am waitlisted #33/55 for oakland's Summer cohort. It's been quite unsettling as how I should move forward with this program. any advise, anyone?

I’m also waitlisted. It seems like your chances of acceptance increases if you apply a second time or third time. Have you applied to other programs?
