SFSU Spring 2014 Cohort

[Themary89]

Hi future fellow classmates!

I am sooo beyond excited (can barely contain myself!) to start SFSU's nursing program in January 2014! I also can't wait to meet all of you! I created this group so that we could get to know each other and ask questions before the big orientation day in October. A few questions I have so far:

1) What's the deal with parking? Is there no semester permit you can purchase? It seems like we might have to get a daily permit ($6.00/day!).

2) Does anybody live in the redwood city area/would anyone be willing to commute if we have the same schedule?

3) I've started the Metrology book, and boy is it tedious! LOL

Hello themary89.. I received an email letting me know a spot is available for me for a Spring 2014. Words can't express how excited I am!!! It was very unexpected but truly a great surprise! Do you know when orientation is?

Hi, I'm a current nursing student at SFSU. Parking sucks! There is some free parking around school but it's usually filled up by 8AM. You can buy a semester pass to park in the garage but from my knowledge you can either buy a Mon Wed pass or a Tues Thurs pass. The passes are pretty expensive. If you happen to have a Friday class, you will have to pay for the daily rate. Parking in the garage without a pass is $3 for 2 hrs or $6 for the whole day. I live in Daly City so I usually take the free SFSU shuttle from Daly City bart.

Hi, to those of you who are about to attend SFSU's nursing program: is it true that they got rid of their senior preceptorship?

Hey guys! Thanks for responding! healthnut09 that is beyond exciting, and such a blessing for you! I believe the mandatory orientation is on December 3rd, but I would call the office to ask if you need to do anything else before then. Lame, I managed to find free parking, but you're right, it's super flu by like 7:30am and it's far away! Milkpearl, I believe they did remove the senior preceptorship, however they are required by the state licensing board to have us fulfill a minimum number of hours before we can sit for the exam, so I'm assuming that they have just worked more clinical hours into our semester schedule to compensate. :)
