   Good luck to everyone who has gotten their applications together! I wish you all the best of luck. I am currently one of the ELMN students that started last June 2011. It's hard to believe that we will becoming RNs in just a matter of months, and sub...

   Hello! I am also in the cohort that started back in June. So far, I have enjoyed the program. You get your RN quickly and the second part of the program depends on your working status. The whole program including RN will take anywhere from 3-4.5 year...

   lilpeapods, just so you know, I had 3 prereqs (nonscience) in progress at the time of the interview :/! I think what matters the most is grades in the science prereqs. I am also getting all of my health clearance stuff completed, do you know if we c...

   Thanks for the info everyone! :) Do you know about the financial info more specifically? Aka, how much should we honestly be worrying about it before orientation? I did the FAFSA already but I have no idea where to go, will CSULA let me know how much...

   Thanks so much for the info about transportation! That really helps, especially considering gas is getting crazzzy expensive. I was wondering also about breaks in the program. Between quarters, do we have a week or more? What about Christmas time? I ...

    Thank you sooooo much innatchka and bababaowman! I super appreciate the breakdown of a typical schedule and the exact classes we'll be taking. It seems like it is manageable, which is great. I know we will be super busy but it seems like things are o...

    Thanks so much bababaowman for the info! If you don't mind me asking, what schedule did you have during the first year? How often were you in school versus clinicals? If you could give me a Mon-Sun idea that would be amazing!

    Good luck, I hope you hear back soon from CSULA :). I applied to Western, CSULA, Azusa pacific, and UCLA mecn. I really liked the feel of western and my interviewers, but what got me down was mainly cost and having to move. CSULA's program fit perfec...

    Summerslippers, I am going to CSULA this summer :). I sent in my denial letter to Western this week. So far as I know, the FNP program if you go full time at CSULA is 3 years. However, from what I have heard, many people may have varying lengths due ...

    summerslippers, I faced the same choice as you did, and chose to look at the curriculum more carefully. I think the two are structured very differently. I know that CSULA emphasizes TONS of clinicals and really gets you in there to get your feet wet....
