Hi All,
I'm new to this site and to the field of nursing. Has anyone gone to this school and if so, what did you think?
I live in San Diego, CA, and there is an online program that this school offers. I'm 3 prerequisites away from applying to the school, with a start date of August 08. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Congrats to those of you in the next cohort! I saw that some people were wondering how much time they are on campus and in clinicals. You will be on campus almost everyday in the first week or so. After that, you have a 2 hour skills lab 1xweek, health assessment 1xweek for 2 hours, and an exam every other week or so. Clinicals are at one of the Sharp hospitals in SD - could be Grossmont, Chula Vista, Coronado, or Memorial. You will have to go in for a pre-clinical the day before your clinical to research your patient. Then your clinical day is about 8 hours. Then there are community events which could be anywhere around SD. I'm sure Glendale is the same w/ different hospitals.
Keep this in mind for those of you who are planning to commute. Even though it's on on-line school you have group projects and other campus things that they will spring on you at the last minute.
Another thing - ask as many questions as you can at open house/orientation and don't take vague answers! I know it seems like alot but just think about all the people that have pulled it off before you! It does settle down and you will get into the groove of things after a few weeks so don't worry.
Good luck and please post if there are any questions, OK?

Congrats to everyone who got accepted!
I haven't checked my mailbox. I did not get any emails.
My counselor in Glendale is not in today, however when I spoke with someone today, she said they don't send out rejection letters (?)
*sigh*
I guess I need to finish my prerequisite and reapply for Fall
