Anyone applying for fall 2013?

I saw recently that they changed something,but i cant exactly point out what it is. I think it might be the statistics prereq.

They also have the applications due earlier than last year

anyways, anyone for csula?

:)

I took it yesterday and BOY was I happy! I did a lot better than before. Now I feel a little bit better about applying, now I feel like I could have a shot! :up:.

cx and suppa Good luck to you two though, I bet you both did a lot better :)

and, No I haven't heard of it.. please, enlighten me

I believe it is an internship program for honor students interested in nursing. It seem to be a well-known program but I can't find much reviews from people who participated it. Last summer they had a trip to Australia, this year they included China..I am wondering if it is a "once in a life time opportunity" that I am not taking it seriously.:notworthy:??

@ cxmonet, yeah I can't believe it's like desert on this thread! I am pretty sure there are tons of CSULA applicants circulating on this website...I know we are all either working on applications or waiting anxiously for acceptance (or deny) letters...lol.. Until then, please post the info you have on this thread so that everyone could benefit...

I emailed K**** asking her if I needed to send in an official TEAS transcript and she said that the copy I sent in with my application materials would be fine. I just received the following email as I am sure all of you did as well:

Dear Alyssa,

Thank you very much for the submittal of your ELMN application materials. We realize that your TEAS results and any final transcripts from the fall semester may still be on their way to us. If we find that we are in need of any additional application materials, we will be in touch with you via email. Thanks again for your interest in our summer 2013 ELMN program, and we look forward to reviewing your application.

Specializes in BSN, RN.

i coulda sworn i replied to this thread like 3 days ago. lol

i guess it didnt go through.

yes. i retook my teas test and got a MUCH better grade (still not a 100% on math and english like i had hoped for but WAY better than the last xD)

i calculated my "points" for csulb and it amounts to approx 8.75/10

hopefully thats good! cos my csula is a bust -.-

i hope you guys are getting everything ready and let me know how your points are!

i still have yet to turn in my full csulb nursing app

I've gone back and re-read some of the posts and have a question about the "points" many of you are talking about. Some of you talk about 20 points out of 25, but I have no idea what you are talking about. Can anybody help me figure out my points?

TEAS Scores:

Reading: 92.9%

Math: 93.3%

Science: 91.7%

English: 86.7%

National Percentile:

Reading: 98

Math: 98

National Percentile Rank: 99

Prerequisite GPA: 3.8

Last 60 Semester Units GPA: 3.5

@Alyssa, if I'm not mistaken, I think the points system only applies to the BSN program.

No the pt system does not apply to ELMN.

Thanks guys for letting me know! I was just trying to figure it out because people were talking about a point system and I was thinking that I was missing something!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to keep in touch with those who have applied for the 2013 Summer ELMN program! I was hoping we can share our thoughts through this journey! I believe we're supposed to hear back for interviews in the next few weeks. Does anyone know which week we should anticipate this??

FYI, I go to CSULA and I will warn you guys this is probably the worst nursing program in California. Unless it is your only choice of school or you are the world's most docile person I would not wish this school on my worst enemy. Get ready for terrible professors, useless textbooks, a dysfunctional financial aid office, and the worlds most apathetic director of nursing. Please, save yourself some heartache and ask to speak to some current students before making your decision to attend this school.

I'm also a current csula msn student and former member of the elmn program, i don't think it's as bad as this. Yes csula has its faults but so does every school. Like everything in life the program is what you make of it. Feel free to ask me questions and I will answer them honestly.

thanks for all of your insights on the elmn program... it's much appreciated! from what I've read in previous years' threads, it seems like there were a lot of issues with finding preceptors for the NP portion. Is this a problem for all the NP specialties, or just FNP specifically? And what are your thoughts on the nurse educator program concentration that is offered?
