University of San Francisco Spring 2009

Published

Hellooooo,

Anyone out there accepted to the Nursing program @ the University of San Francisco (USF) for the Spring? I originally applied for the Fall and got rejected but then received a letter in June offering a spot for Spring clinicals. I already sent the tuition deposit/intent to enroll in the summer, too.

Has anyone received any more information yet (I heard we're supposed to be getting some sort of "Welcome Packet"?") ? I e-mailed one of the transfer admissions directors and she said we would be receiving mail soon. Orientation is supposed to be in mid-January and it's already November so I'm already sort of freaking out because I still have to apply for loans and housing and whatnot.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone else out here joining usf this spring?

Me! Me! I'm starting too! I just got my acceptance letter the beginning of this week! I'm so psyched to be starting this program - I got rejected from both SFSU's & UCSF's master's program since I wasn't very sure on which specialty I wanted to focus on.

awesome! i dont know why i still havent gotten my acceptance packet. I just got a call from the director saying i got accepted. What does that packet contain anyway? are u guys living on campus or off?

You'll prob get yours soon...do you live further away? that may be why. It just has a few sheets saying the program outline, cost outline, and the cover "congrats" sheet that says we start jan 26! Then you mail in the confirmation and after that they are supposed to send us more stuff about registration, financial aid, and health clearance

Yep, send in your $500 check to reserve your space. I won't be living on campus since I'm a mom of 2 - where do you all currently live? I'm in Pacifica and I'll have about an hour commute. Also, you can find out our schedule (already!) online. Clinicals on M, classes on W & Th. Of course things might change!

Oh wow i didnt know it was online, thats cool. I live in foster city so I will have about an hour commute too...wish I could move but i should save the money since i'm close enough to sf

We start school in two months! I still haven't figured out where I'm gonna live or how I'm going to pay for this....but isn't it exciting? :lol2:

Another question....how do we get our classes? Did you guys register already or do they give it to us or something? I'm so confused :(

julz16: Where are you moving from? I think they will give us info on registering after they receive our deposits...online is just the class schedule and you can kind of match it up to what we are taking the first semester from the sheet they gave us, to sort of see what the times are like, but it might not be exact

Duke 112: I'm moving from Vallejo to SF (hopefully). Crossing two bridges everyday would not be fun so I'm definitely trying to find a place, if not, dorm.

On another note, I know the BSN and MSN programs are two totally different programs, but to anyone out there who has been in the BSN program or knows someone in it, do you know if our clinicals are in close proximity to the school? I read that we are responsible for transportation to and from those sites and I don't know if I will have a car...

hey guys...i got an email saying i was accepted..but i havent received the welcome packet yet..did anyone else receive an email? i applied for the nursing program but the email said nothing about being in the program..im soo confused...:confused:

reez1837 - if they gave you a USF connect account already, you might wanna check there. it shows your student profile, when you applied and when you were admitted..etc. from other peoples' experiences it seems as if they either get a letter or a phone call or an email. i guess they're not very consistent. lol. either way, you may just want to call the school yourself to clear things up.

btw, i applied for the fall but got offered a spot for the spring in early june. i just received an "online welcome packet" from the transfer admissions director yesterday.

& did you apply for the BSN or MSN program...?

hope i helped in some way & good luck with everything! :)
