SDSU bsn spring '12 cohort

LJean · Jan 5, 2012

So I just found out that because I didn't take classes as an undergrad this fall while I waited to start the spring 12 nursing program I have to completely reapply...I have no idea what to do

Completely reapply for what? SDSU? or the nursing program? How did you find this out? My friend did that same thing but I don't think she has heard about this...

I think both. I'm still on the list for the nursing program but I won't be able to register for classes if I'm not actually enrolled in sdsu...I don't know how I ended up totally missing the memo on that. Ended up calling the school of nursing and leaving a message to see if there's any way around it. The worst part is the application period for next year already ended.

To clarify I applied and was admitted to sdsu for fall 2011 but was admitted to the nursing program for spring 2012

So ou mean you did not take any clases at all las t fall '11? Do they say you are not enrolled at state anymore? Did you just found out about it? Sorry to hear this.

Hey guys hows it going?

I'm about to enter my 2nd semester of the program so if you have any questions about the first semester i'm more than happy to help. Not too much longer till we start back up so like Coriander suggested, enjoy the time off while you can

What do we do at orientation? We have it tomorrow and Wed?

At orientation you will be split into groups. Half of you will have a full day tomorrow and a half day wednesday, the other half will have a half day tomorrow and a full day wednesday. You'll start off the day by hearing a couple of professors (youll probably get an assignment or two)/the dean/and the CNSA members talk...then youll go to different "stations" where you will get your badge photo taken, get fitted/order your scrubs, buy different things (stethescopes, bags, sweaters, N206 supply bag, etc), and a couple others where they talk to you about joining different things.

After all this we went to lunch, came back and heard a little more from the CNSA members/professors, had a raffle for scrubs, starbucks gift cards, bags, etc. The half that had the longer day went to the library to learn some stuff about the SDSU library/computer searches. I'm not sure if they will have you guys do thsi again because a lot of people complained about it being a waste of time and we didn't learn too much. But considering you guys still have a 2 day orientation I'm thinking you will.

Next day consisted of a presentation by an ATI testing company for their product. It was "mandatory" for us to purchase this for $176 bucks. Again, i'm not 100% sure if they will have you do this because we were asked to do a survey as to whether or not it was worth it, and a lot of people did not feel it was (we were given a few extra credit points for completing several assignments). Those that had already went to the library get to go home, the other group goes to the library.
