Hi guys,

i was wondering if anyone know the statistic for people who attend the alternate meeting and got in? Also, does anyone know when the informational meeting about the SDSU ABSN program will take place- did they send out an email on that? i didn't get one. Thanks.

Thanks for the update, So Cal! Good info! Looks like I will be taking Chem again. I took it as undergrad and that was +7 years ago! Were you able to find out about CLEP? My info session is in a few weeks so I"ll update if I learn anything new.

She said no testing out of subjects...but you can ask again...

Hopefully she can give you more final terms... she was really concerned about the change in prereqs and she wanted us to have the opportunity to enroll in them for the spring. Biochem... a big concern for me too, so i asked for sdsu's course number so we can compare our course to theirs. (their course catalog entry is in my other post)

We did get to preview the format of the class, the online quiz and activities we'd be studying. one of the more interesting simulation practices was we would pretend to be the head nurse. Depending on our performance, the patients would get better, sicker or even die.

Thanks. The preview sounds really cool! Now back to studying for finals - bleh!

So excited!

Does yours post that fast? I'm taking my physio final the day after open house (Dec 16th) and the school's website said final grades would not be posted until January 11th which is quite a while.

I will get my grade just after the final about 1 week but grades wont be posted officially till January. My classes are online. One of the instructor posts grades very consistently. The other, I guess it will be a surprise of what our scores are. Good luck on your physio exam

Is anyone purchasing scrubs at Tuesdays meeting? Does anyone who is already at the program recommend getting them at Open House or should we get them somewhere else?
