CSU Los Angeles School of Nursing (CSULA Fall 2012)

U.S.A. California

Hello,

I thought I'd make this thread for the new application group... even though it's a bit late since we have to all apply soon!

Anyway! I want to apply for the Fall 2012 term but I had some questions. I am an current CSULA student that transferred to CSULA in Fall 2010. I'm a Psychology major but am applying for Fall 2012 Nursing. I haven't taken my TEAS yet, but I'll be taking that on Friday (!!), so I'm very nervous about that.

That said, this is my first question:

I've been getting mixed info from different people. When I visited the Academic Advising Office last Spring (2011), the adviser told me that as long as I did not graduate from CSULA BEFORE I graduated, I could apply to the SON as a BSN applicant. I called SON to see if I could even apply for the ELM program and they told me that as far as they knew, I could not because I did not have my Bachelor's Degree yet.

So right now, I have approximately 2 quarters left in order to finish my Psychology major, approximately 6~8 classes. Ideally, I could finish by Spring 2012, but depending on my other workloads, I could push it back to Fall 2012. The problem is that I'm not allowed to graduate if I want to go into the basic program so I can't apply for graduation just yet. But IF I don't get into the BSN program, then I have to wait another two quarters after May or June or whenever they send out acceptances in order to officially graduate.

So I went to go and talk to my adviser about graduation and if I should even bother applying for Spring 2012 graduation and she tells me that no, I'm not allowed to apply for a BSN but I can go for the ELM program. :eek:

Does anyone know which is true? :confused: The CSULA advisers tell me that I can't apply for the Basic program but I can apply for ELM while the SON says that I can't apply for ELM because I don't have my Bachelor's degree yet and I should apply for the BSN program. Other graduate schools like APU and UCLA have also told me the same thing - without a Bachelor's, I cannot get apply for the ELM program at their school.

Thank you~

i heard that some ppl got in on the orientation day =D

so there is still some light at the end of the dark tunnel =D

I had a classmate who got accepted last year to the program.

He told me that he got a call/letter a month before school started.

And his friend got accepted a few days before!

I'm guessing those are in the waiting/uncertain list...and will be accepted when someone doesn't show up or respond regarding the program. Also, Monica said that if anyone doesn't attend the orientation they are automatically not in the program..so that open spot will be filled by another candidate..

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHH

I believe..I am in that 'left over-down the list-gray area- uncertain' list.

Does anyone know much about other CSU's? How are the nursing program there?

I think from what I know...its pretty much the same deal? Competitive, constipated and crazy..

I was browsing last years CSULA 2011 thread to help relief some stress for those who did not hear anything yet , and I see a post where someone says that the nursing department was still sending out letters on "May 19, 2011." So for those who did not hear anything from the SoN yet, you might here something really soon.

@kosmic

Thanks! You are very sweet to look through that for poor souls like us...lol

stay positive =D you never going to know what will happen the next day =D

hahah no problem, I know how terrible you guys feel waiting for a response. I would feel the same pain too if I was in that position.

Hi guys! Kinda off topic but does the SoN require us to have health insurance?

yes they do

you need health insurance

and several things

You need to have proof of health insurance and car insurance. Also, you will need to get your titers and be updated on all your shots before you start clinicals.

And you'll get a physical exam and background check

yup, that too.
