[kieptonite]

Hey guys, I have not yet seen a thread for the SJSU Spring 2018 Nursing Program... so I decided to make one! I know it's a little early to start posting, but I am too excited and wanted to meet others that are applying! Here is a thread for all questions/concerns/comments! Hope to see and meet you all!!

We also need these books, which are all for NURS 33:

• Essentials of Nursing Practice Package (the booklist said to wait until the first day of class for more info on these books)
  
• California Nursing Practice Act with Regulations and Related Statutes | LexisNexis Store
  
• SJSU School of Nursing Student Handbook, which can be found at the A.S. Print Shop, but it's also online on the Nursing webpage. Idk if we have to buy it even though we can access it electronically.

Hi I'm not a 2018 nursing applicant but I'm an SJSU freshmen who was admitted with a behavioral science major. I want to change my major to nursing but I was wondering if you or anyone you may know who

successfully changed there major into nursing? If so I would like to know more about the experience. Also do you think it's better to just go to community college or if it's better to work side by side at SJSU with the nursing program to get in. Thank You!
