SFSU/Sequoia program 2015

space monster · May 5, 2015

Thanks for the advice everyone. I accepted! Looks like no grants for me, only loans. Still very excited to be attending the program.

Glad you accepted! There is also a scholarship program for the Sequoia BSN, although I'm not totally sure how it works (maybe you need to be in your 2nd year to apply?). Here's a little info: https://www.sequoiahospitalfoundation.org/kennettscholarship

Hello all, any updates? Just wondering if anyone wants to meet either this weekend or next. Maybe a cafe in the peninsula. Let me know!

Same here, no updates yet after clicking on the "accept admissions" link in mysfsu. However, I had called the undergrad admissions office to verify that everything was confirmed and they said it was, and that they would be sending out the letters of admission within the week or 2.

Otherwise, there is no news or email yet from Catherine or SFSU itself.

Any news yet from the others?

Thanks for the scholarship info space monster. I'll have to check that out next year. kind1, I can't meet up until June. May is just crazy full with my job and my son's school commitments.

I haven't seen a FB group yet but hopefully will soon. According the SFSU academic calendar, the current cohort finishes final exams May 22nd. So maybe we'll see a FB group started after finals.

I am in a similar situation as 3doodle with kids' events, work, and general life stuff right now. I also work as a CNA on Sat./Sun. every other weekend, but if you hit me on the right weekend, I'd love to meet up!

Ok, sounds good. Maybe we'll shoot for the end of June :)

Sometime in June could work for me as well. Late June I will probably be traveling though.

Hi all,

I am also accepted to the Fall 2015 Cohort and head the Pre-Nursing Club on campus at Canada College. I work per diem as a CNA at Sequoia- perhaps could meet up somewhere in the peninsula once my finals are over in June. Can't wait to meet you all!

Just spoke to Sheri Sassarini last week at Pre-Nursing Club's last meeting regarding the preceptorship in the last semester. Good news- they have not done away with the preceptorship/leadership rotation completely. It is true that we will likely be precepting with several nurses as opposed to one; not to worry, if your clinicals are at Sequoia, I work a fantastic group of nurses that also precept students!

Thanks also for the update from Cohort XI.

Best to all,

Tara

Hi Tara,

It's great to have you here and congrats on getting into the program. I can't wait to learn everything you know about the program. I would love to meet up sometime. How is mid-June for everybody who is interested in meeting up? And it is better to meet up on weekday evenings or some time on the weekends? Good luck to those still hoping to get accepted.

The weekend of June 13/14 looks good for me, if that works for others. I should also have time closer to the start of classes.

Anyone heard anything new? Very curious about our class schedule for fall, schedules for the program and hospital orientations, etc. I know the program administrators are probably busy getting through the end of the school year, but I hope we get some details soon!

Hi Tara! I know you IRL and sent you a PM. Nice to see you on here!

kind1 · May 20, 2015

Hi all! No new updates yet...

Space Monster, I can meet either Sat 6/13 or 6/14 as well. Others, let us know if either of these days work for you, too!

Getting excitedâ€¦

June 13th/14th works for me. I'm pretty open that weekend.
