1. Confused on When I should apply??

   TLeeM replied to ez0l1995's topic in General Students

   It depends on the program you apply to. Each will specify if they need to have prerequisites completed by the application date or by the semester/quarter before you start. Many ask for the sciences to be completed, with the others in progress. You ha...

2. CSULA 2015 ABSN Program

   TLeeM replied to snailszy's topic in California

   I applied to a few other schools (accepted to one other), but not any other CSU programs. The main reason why I did not apply to others was because none had the direct entry option like CSULA. I am a bit older, so it was important for me to be able t...

3. Financial aid for a Post-Bac program?

   TLeeM replied to MasterOfNone's topic in General Students

   Look into Sallie Mae loans. I have been able to take out as much as I need as long as the school certifies it within budget. Oh and I am in a second bachelors program as well.

4. CSULA 2015 ABSN Program

   TLeeM replied to snailszy's topic in California

   If the schedule is the same as last year - you should be hearing very soon! If I recall correctly - we heard the Monday of spring break. Please know - this week is finals week, so the program coordinator is likely tying up her current classes and gra...

   Ah thanks RNNP! I agree with everything you say!!

6. CSULA 2015 ABSN Program

   TLeeM replied to snailszy's topic in California

   Unfortunately I cannot give any specifics, but I can say it will relate to nursing and will probably be on a topic you are very familiar with or at least have a solid opinion about. Do not stress over it. If you know the career you are getting into, ...

   TLeeM replied to snailszy's topic in California

   Hi all. I was in your shoes this time last year and was just as anxious. I can tell you that the program coordinator is very busy, so just be a bit more patient. In addition to reviewing each and every application that comes in - she teaches classes,...

   TLeeM replied to snailszy's topic in California

   I can comment on the application to the university - you don't apply unless you are accepted to the program. They open up a special session for just the people who are committed to joining the cohort. It was in April or May I believe. Do not stress o...

   We were just discussing this the other day. We do not know for sure, but I think it is around 250-300 applications, maybe less.

    TLeeM replied to snailszy's topic in California

    I can tell you from our experience last year - the coordinator's assistant will email you a week or two after the due date to let you know they got your application and if there is anything missing, etc. Then the interview invites will roll out slowl...

    It is a written response to a prompt, it is just not hand written. They give you a lap top to write your essay. You save it to the laptop and they evaluate from there.

12. Retaking the TEAS

    TLeeM replied to Nurseawesome's topic in TEAS

    I believe you get individual reports for each exam, but each report shows the # of attempts on it. I just looked at my report from last year and it says Attempt # of #. So Attempt 1 of 1 or 4 of 6, etc. But the results are just for that specific exam...

13. Western University MSN-E 2015 Applicants

    TLeeM replied to snailszy's topic in California

    Could not agree more! I remember this time last year and how stressed and anxious I was about everything. I too was checking my emails and Allnurses every hour to see if there was some clue about when I would get the email or phone call. I think I wi...

14. Western University MSN-E 2015 Applicants

    TLeeM replied to snailszy's topic in California

    I went through the interview process last year and was accepted to the program, but decided to attend a different school. I can tell you the written portion was opinion based. We were randomly given a term and asked to define it, in our own words, an...

    TLeeM replied to snailszy's topic in California

    Hey guys! Just thought I would chime in. I am currently in the first year of the program and am available to try and answer questions if you need it. As far as requirements to get in - I would just make sure you put your best efforts into all aspects...
