Incoming Cohorts

welcome class of fall 2025

First of all, congratulations on joining our nursing family! We all know just how hard you have worked to reach this milestone and ​cannot wait to meet each of you and welcome you into the next two and a half years of your life!

Recognized as California Nursing Students’ Association (CNSA), Fresno State Chapter, we work very closely with the School of Nursing to offer support and advice to prospective and current nursing students-- both at Fresno State and beyond. As each of us can remember struggling through our first semester as a nursing student, one of our most beloved traditions as an organization is our bi-annual Welcome Lunch and Nursing School Bootcamp. These events are student-led and offer mentorship that is tailored and adapted each semester to meet the most current needs of students. 

Based on student feedback and suggestions over the years, our boot camp has grown to include...
  • Great information from nursing faculty, as well as a variety of guest speakers.
  • A detailed introduction to first semester assignments and expectations.
  • Opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for a variety of nursing supplies.
  • An overview of the program curriculum as a whole.
  • Some hands-on training in skills that will help you in your first semester and beyond.
  • Individual mentorship with upper semester students for the entirety of the program.

Historically, these first few days together as a cohort have turned into great memories and led to a more approachable start to your success. Boot Camp will take place on August 7th and August 8th-10th in the Nursing Resource Center on campus. Once again, congratulations on getting here. We look forward to meeting you!
