Re: CSULB EL-MSN Fall 2009--any applicants/ current students?

Re: CSULB EL-MSN Fall 2009--any applicants/ current students?

wow I didn't know you could attach it here hahah

to everyone who's in!

Now I don't know what to do...CSUN A-BSN and finish August 2010+experience, then NP MSN or CSULB BSN/MSN +part-time work experience and transition into the post-master's NP certificate program without having to reapply or ask for more letters of rec or request more transcripts...ay ay ay!

Re: CSULB EL-MSN Fall 2009--any applicants/ current students?

That's really thoughtful of levoila. It didn't even occur to me.
I think I'll be going to csulb as I don't have much choice

Re: CSULB EL-MSN Fall 2009--any applicants/ current students?

so much to think about........!

Re: CSULB EL-MSN Fall 2009--any applicants/ current students?

Levoila, do you know if we can work part-time during later 18 month period?

In case of CSULA, they said that one can even work full-time (and required to work)
On the other hand in CSUF, they said most do not work at all because of workload.
I don't know how it is with CSULB

And I don't think we can change to NP mid-track, right?

Well during the CSUF interview, Dr. Wickman said that at least half of the class was working part-time.

For CSULB, if I remember correctly, she said that they didn't recommend working during the first 18 months, but if we chose to switch to a part-time school schedule, we'd be able to work. I might be confusing information, but I do vaguely remember Monalisa Ward making a distinction between those who continued at the accelerated pace, versus those who didn't. I guess we could just call and clarify.

This would be an important deciding factor for me since I'll need experience to eventually become a NP.

Re: CSULB EL-MSN Fall 2009--any applicants/ current students?

levoila, doesn't CSULB give BSN after first 16 months? For some reason, that's my impression.
