CSU Fullerton EL-MSN Program 2012

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hi everyone!

I'm currently on my journey to applying to CSUFullerton's ELMSN program for 2012. Has anyone taken the TEAS yet? Have you already attended their info session?

I was taking prereqs for a good year or so after I graduated from undergrad. But I've been working for about a year to save up money and such.

I'm currently trying to get back into school-mode: taking a chem class (b/c CSUF won't take the previous chem class i took) and public speaking this semester. Planning on taking the TEAS in October and maybe again in December if I don't do so well.

If anyone currently in the program can give some advice or if you're looking to apply for 2012, sound off here!!

:heartbeat

12:30-4, March 22. What is yours?

@trix_010509: It's under the thread "CSUF EL-MSN 2011" but there aren't any specifics. Apparently, the interviewees were told to keep the information private since there were 3 groups of interviews over like a month timespan. However, there are stats posted which indicated that most who were interviewed were offered admission last year or put on the alternate list.

This year also seems different since were are scheduled for like 4 hours, and last year's was only 2 hours?

April 12, 8:30-12pm

Im not sure if 2 weeks is enough for me to ask for the day off

Oh. Okay, thanks anyway. Somebody please help. :(

I would definitely call and follow up to see if they even accepted your application since you mentioned it may have been late. I received an interview invitation for March 22nd earlier this week, but I know with a few other schools they send invitations out throughout the month or 2 of interviews. Its hard to say since many schools are doing things a bit different this year then the previous years but you never know. Stay positive until you get a letter stating you are not accepted.

Okay I was able to get my interview date switched thank goodness. Now I'm just excited about the interview. Everyone stay positive and think happy thoughts lol.

ok guys, i need some clarifications...

i re-read my interview invitation email and it says that i will be interviewing for el-msn leadership concentration. i thought i was applying for np track. do you think there is a misunderstand on my part or miscommunication? is there such thing as el-msn np track? my heart is set on being an NP. please advice, thank you!!!

As far as I understand, CSUF does not offer an entry level MSN with NP option, only a MSN in leadership. You would have to continue on with a different post-master's program of study (another year or more) to get training and certification as a NP. UCLA is the same; they train you in clinical nurse leadership.

CSULA currently offers NP tracks in entry-level master's and post-master's. CSULB also has NP options although it was closed to entry-level master's applications for Fall 2012.

Hope this info helps you out!

good luck everyone! Does that mean there are only 2 days of interviews? March 22 and April 12? But it looks like each day has a morning and afternoon group. Yikes!! I'm so nervous!! I really hope we all do well :D Let's keep each other posted!

Hmpark- are u also on the western u bulletine board? I hope more people start posting so we know what's going on. Seems CSUF is ghost town right about now

@michelle1985 - I may have posted up on the board for Western, but I ended up actually not applying there.

Is everyone else waiting on other schools? I only applied to CSU Fullerton, so this is it for me!

hi all!

got my invitation to interview on mar 5 for the mid-april date, so i am in the process of prepping for the interview... does anyone know how long it takes before they send out acceptance/waitlist notifications? also, what types of questions would be asked during the group interview? i know that all applicants would be placed before a panel for the interview, but is that for the individual portion or the group portion?

any comments would be appreciated!

good luck to all!
