Hello! I haven't seen a thread for BSN Spring 2023 students, deadline July 1, 2022. Anyone else applying?

Please, everyone who has not accepted.... find another option. They just pulled all preceptorships for the BSN and ABSN cohorts. The preceptorship won't be a thing anymore. This school will only suit you if you want over 50% of your hospital experience behind your computer doing virtual simulations. Trust me when I say they don't help you with becoming a nurse... they will only help as a justification for the school to submit your paperwork to the Board of Registered Nurses. I know everyone has worked hard to get into a school they knew to have a good reputation. The school is changing quickly and will lie to you even if you ask what your program will look like. I know people are excited but take a good look at the other schools you got in. The feeling of frustration, disappointment, and anger you will get once you start with SMU is terrible. 

Hi, is this for all campuses? And is it both clinicals and preceptorship?

Yes, all campuses have problems placing students into clinicals. SMU competes for hospitals with UCSF, USF, CalState East Bay etc. however, SMU is notoriously last to the party and is unable to place us. This is not a one-time occurrence for one class or my cohort. This is happening in all cohorts on all campuses. Preceptorship is going away for all...and if you are in the last class for a preceptorship, you have to be super lucky. We have half of our cohort not placed in a 1:1 preceptorship while we are in our senior semester. Sac might be slightly better (but maybe there is a Sac student who can speak to this)?
