CSUN Accelerated B.S.N. Fall 2009 Applicants

I sent it back in the envelope they provided. It was already self-addressed. I am not sure who it was going to...I'm sure it was the Health Science Dept and once they receive it than they would forward it to admissions

gspoon: congrats! are you going to accept? What other schools are waiting to hear from?

but the letter says not to send it in the same envelope.

Thanks for responding! I also applied to a few other accelerated BSN programs, unfortunately there aren't too many in SoCal. At first I was set on getting my MSN but then realized I didn't want to become a clinical nurse specialist. CSUF program allowed you to roll into getting you NP in womens health but that would take 4 years. I can't afford to not work that long, plus think it would be smarter to get experience before choosing a specialty. Is CSUN not your first choice? How come? I dont know too much about the program. It was not my first choice originally because I live in orange county and thought I would prefer to stay here, but I was really impressed by the three women in my interview (even though it was all of 10 minutes long) Anyway I would love to hear your input.

Oh no! I just saw that. Well....they are receiving it with the statement of intent.

Now that I am reading the letter, it says to deliver that form to Admissions & Records. So yes Levoila, I would send it there.

SBalmost there- I got into U of Colorado at Denver and am waiting to hear from Concordia and MSM. If I was lucky enough to get into concordia I will have some pondering to do. MSM and U of Colorado are both amazing schools but much more expensive

I was asking because I wasn't sure if I should mail it to admissions or just drive out there to drop it off since it says "deliver it to" rather than "mail it to".

CSUN is definitely one of my top choices. I think they have a great program and the fact that only 18 are selected means that it is a cohesive and small student to teacher ratio, which is wonderful. I am also considering Loma Linda University, although it is expensive, my mom lives there and I could move home for a year and save on rent, utilities and food...which would bring the estimated cost down by about $12,000. If I do choose to go to CSUN, I am going to have to find a place to live since I live too far to commute as of now.
I defintely have the same goals as far as furthering my education, but as for now I am focused on doing the BSN program first. Then gain experience in the nursing field to then decide where I would like to practice as far as a NP.
Looks like we're both off to a good start.

Levoila - if it's convienent for you to drive it, then I definitely would do that. I sure hope they will forward it on to Admissions.
