CA BRN new requirements for NCLEX RN international students - page 59

Yeah there are about 20 signed up for the program for this 2013 of May. If the number students will be a little be a bit more than 30 students then it will pull through by this may 2013. But if it won't get up to 30 by April then it will be postponed by May 2014. But I'm pretty sure it will open by this 2013. If you guys are interested please contact the Chair, school of nursing at CSU Fresno. Or you can PM me and I will give you her contact number.

The program will cover OB and Critical care Nursing(MS) and both classes will have didactics and clinical with skills lab. Im really positive it will pull through this summer because the number of applicants is in the 20's. If you are far away, let's say from Socal, you can get a hold of others who are willing to take the program and rent a room with a couple of people. I've spoken to a few who were interested in rooming with their friends.

I got denied coz i dont have a local license. Im an american citizen. Isnt that reason good enough?help!

Yeah since a local license is a requirement in some states it's really important. Being an american citizen is a plus but it won't help you out all the way if you can't provide the needed requirements for a state. Some states see a person with a license from where they were trained as a way to see that the nurse applying is competent enough to practice in the country they were trained.

hi kuyafern,

that's good news! Can you give me her contact number? my problem is i'm fom SoCal...i want to figure it out...i have my friend too with the same situation , maybe i can share this to her if ever...thanks.

I have no doubt that the courses being offered by the CSU-Fresno campus will get their 30 students and not surprised if it becomes a waiting list. But the main thing is does anyone signing up have any idea on the cost to attend, I'm figuring just the tuition fees?

If it exceeds a certain dollar amount in my case, then, it's not going to work for me. If it's too expensive, then I would suspect that many on the sign up list will also drop out. We all know there's going to be a cost to enroll but at what price?

Leggo stay at fresno! Lol thanks for all the infos kuyafern! Ur d best man lol

LOL. I'm just here to help. I really do hope that we can get 30 or more by the end of this month. If not by January.

If ever the program starts, i too will stay at fresno and rent an apartment lol kuyafern, u down to be my roommate? Hahahahaha

Cmon u guys! Call fresno! ei kuyafern someone's asking for the contact numbers.

I messaged her already the email and phone number of the director. Ima just drive it man 40 minutes away from my parents place.

Oh yeah u told me about that. You think it'll really push through? Keeping my fingers crossed all day man

I think the overall cost to attend CSU-Fresno will be much cheaper than Mt. St. Mary and National Univ, as those two schools are private and heard there's no waiting list. But of course, not many of us can afford their price tag of over $7,000 plus, lol.

Fresno is a CA state university and a public campus, so it should be way less expensive

7 grand? Needs to be paid up front? Damn!
