Hello all! I am new to this forum and had a lot of questions about the application process for nursing school, specifically SF state's program.
I'm planning on applying to their Spring 2017 program, but have heard mixed reviews about it. Is there anyone currently in their nursing program that can shed any light on it? I've heard that it's very difficult to get classes, making it almost impossible to finish the program in the advertised 2 years (takes more like 3 years). I've also heard that due to the high demand of classes and lack of availability, students end up transferring out.
My current GPA is 3.57 and I scored a 81.3% on the TEAS. I also work as a Medical Assistant for 4 years now, ranging in different types of specialties/clinics. My grades aren't as competitive as what I would like it to be, but I'm hoping that my work experience makes up for it. Should I retake my TEAS test to try and get a higher score?
If you're applying to the program, put your stats below!
Mothernurseclub, how did you find out your updated waitlist status? I am also waitlisted. Thank you and best of luck at USF. It's a beautiful campus. Many of my friends graduated there and are amazing nurses today.
I emailed them (SON) asking for an update late December and got a reply when break was over. Thank you!
Anyone in the Spring17 waitlist got accepted? Can you put your waitlist number if get accpeted? I am on the waitlist for fall17, and have no idea whether or not have a chance to get into the program. Thanks!
