does anyone know about the ELMSN program at CSULA?

i have recently gotten accepted to CSULA for the ELMSN program. however, the program demand at least a 3.0 GPA in the first prelicense year before deciding on my specialty. is anyone in the program or know anyone in it? the program seems very intense. would i be better off going into other ELMSN programs that guarantees a direct entry to my specialty of interest (ex. Samuel Merritt's ELMSN family NP track)?

i also got accepted into the program. i too was concerned if there would automatically be a smooth transition into the masters track after the rn. . . if you look at it, it seems like all elm nursing programs require a 3.0. . . .and will let you be off for one quarter, but no more than that. so, csla isn't really any different, its just you have some time to chose the focus of your masters. you should talk with jane, or someone else there to get a better understanding and feel more comfortable with how it works.

on their side is the fact that it is a very small class. i believe their pass rate was 100% the last couple of years (but one year one student did not pass on the first try, but did the second time). with a smaller class size it seems like their will be more opportunity to see that we don’t fall through the cracks.
