Is anyone applying for or has applied for CSU Chico State's nursing program? I'm planning on applying for spring 08 and just wanted to know what the cut off points were. I'm so nervous about the whole point system. I've calculated/estimated my total points and it seems like I should be somewhere in between 83-85/100 points. Does anyone know if that's good enough? I highly doubt that's good enough to get me in. I'm just sooooo stress out about never getting in a nursing program soon.

thanks future rn. i actually live in sacramento. i have been to chico on numerous occasions; i like the whole outlook unlike sf where it looks like a fashion house. anyway, i'm leaning towards chico.

HI all,

Is anyone applying for the Fall 2010. Do u guys think this would be the most competitive since they don't accept application in the Spring 2010 and the program has changed to 5semesters term the 1st time?

I wonder if they are really concerned about the Teas test? I didn't do well on it, just had a very vague review before the test and got like 83.5%. Overall I have like 80 points, including the economic disadvantage, which is like a total joke to me. They just asked me to turn in a narrative statement and verification, no evidence like income tax or anything. I assume they would decide how generous the extra points they give me depending on my letter. I don't have any work experience.

Do u think I should take the Teas test agian, in order to improve my points, or 80pts is pretty ok?!! I also apply for CSU Fresno. They offer the 3 yrs term, I have a better chance over there because they more lean on the overal GPA. So, kind of on the fence about whether I should take a test agian or not. OMG, 4hours period was really a pain in the butt! Is is really worth it to cut off one semester?

And btw, how is the area around CSU Chico. Chico used to be (or still is right now) known as a party school rite? Are there many fun activities or stuffs to do around the area or you just see all the bars along campus?!0.0 It's really imtimidating to me about this "infamous" part. Well, I like to drink and party, but not like all the time!

Please, if you have some information, let me know!

THANK YOU

You definitely want to retake the TEAS. It doesn't hurt you at all to retake it so I don't see why you wouldn't want too. It really increases your chance of getting in to any nursing program. I'm in the nursing program at Chico State and most of my class mates got above 90% (full points). Good luck!

Really? 0.o OMG, now it scares the hell out of me again, I though I'm pretty competitive already. I did retake it, n got 87.6% (not as I expected, but better)

So now I got 4.0 GPA n 87.6% TEAS and Bilingualism's 3 points n 1pt for co-pre. I'm not sure about the Disadvantage Economic. It's just like a cheap shot, lolz! Now I'm just going to wait and pray until April 15!

Which classes (besides the required ones from the major) do you recommend to take at the 1st semester for convenience?

What classes? If you're transferring to Chico, you'll need to take your upper division theme..so those are pretty good classes to take along with the 1st semester classes. You'll want to take the co-requisites too if you haven't because they're req'd by 2nd semester. If you've already done that then it doesn't really matter. There aren't any nursing classes you can take ahead of time so you'd just take whatever you feel like.

So you are in your last year right, RN 24? How is the campus life? And when you do clinical skills, do you usually go out in the local hospital? Do you spend most of the time on campus or at the hospital?!

I got an 88.2 on my Teas and 2 A's and 2 B's for the pre-requ GPA...no work experience, foreign language and co-requs...giving me 75 points. Does anyone know if that is competitive? I know most people who get in are in the 80s....

To Starness921: My sense is ur stats is a little risky with the 2Bs. They actually count 2 courses from ur pre-reg and 2 from GE courses. If you have 2 As from the group of classes: Statistics, Speech, Critical thinking and English, it will be better. Most ppl who get in indeed are in the 80s, but at the same time they have the extra pts from the supplemental! I wish you the best my friend!

To others: for the internships, do you guys have to drive far away from Chico to some hospitals in other cities?! How often do you have to go away from school for internships? I saw in the website that students usually get assigned in Yuba or Paradise City, which are not really next to Chico area! So each student should prepare a proper transportation right?! Just when I thought I would drive only bicycle once I'm at Chico. Now I have to plan to take my car n the monthly gas fee with me!>.

I have one A and one B for the science portion and One A and one B for the GE portion. Hopefully, if I don't get into anywhere in the fall I will be better off for next application period because I'm taking micro and organic chem right now and am trying really hard for A's...I think it just might happen! Good luck everybody!!! I hope we find out TODAY!!

Hi all, do any of you know how many people applied for Spring 2011. I applied for Fall but didn't get in. This time I turned in verifications for econ/environmental disadvantage. I was at 75 last time and with retaking test I am at 79, but waiting to see how many points they will give me for the econ/environmental. Do any of you have an idea on how they choose the points for the economic and environmental disadvantage portion.

Hi, I have no idea how many points they will give for economic disadvantage. I applied for spring 2011 as well, I am wondering if they gave me points for being local as I just recently moved to Chico in the fall. I heard that there were not as many applicants as usual because of the budget deal. Not sure, but I think I have 79 points too.
