Published

Hi everyone,

I thought I should start this thread where people can put their stats if they wish and give each other advice! I think decisions will come out in 2-3 months so we can discuss the timeline of acceptances too!

Hello! I’ve been accepted to the ELMSN-CM cohort in Sac for Spring 2023

I just got the call that I got in! I interviewed on the 5th. They said I should have already received 3 emails by now but I keep getting an error message when I try to access outlook so I'm on hold with IT right now.

 I also applied to the FNP program too and never heard back about any interview.

An update on the Sacramento ELMSN program: 

We were just told that (after clincals being cut this past term), there is not enough placement for students. 

Again, I cannot stress enough that if you have an option to go to community college, or another school that does not cost 150-250k to attend, to TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY. Schools are all trying to find placement for students but I do not feel that paying THIS much is worth online simualtions, a horribly organized program, unqualified professors (or one's that are burnt out) and being dragged along.

I have so many peers that are distraught because they thought this was a prestigious program, but currently it is not. Look at Yelp and Goggle reviews. It hasn't gotten better and is only getting worse.

If you can go to a less expensive program and only accept a place at SMU if you are DESPERATE. I hope I can help with this information. I knew what I was getting into, but a lot of people are unaware of how this program functions.

I wish you all the best of luck and sincerely hope whatever happens, your nursing journey is an amazing experience.

Most of the time you won't even have your schedule until 2 to 3 weeks into the semester. Whatever you are planning your responsibilities around and personal life such as work or children,

This is the absolute reason you get your degree when you are in your early years post high school.

 I read (as I bolded above my comment) that student difficulties/college with clinical schedules revolve around the difficulty with combining children's and work schedules into the college requirements for clinical. This is a theme said above and this is my contribution.
