anyone know of an online approved refresher health assessment course?? it's been >5years since mine and I don't even know how to do it online....if anyone knows id appreciate it! 

Hi there! Its been a while for me but I remember assist.org is a website that allows you to check if the pre-req course is accepted to certain institution. It is my belief that most of health assessment courses are delivered to nursing students who are enrolled in university's program. However, I would advise to double check with CSULA to ensure what they accept/want!

I don't want to advertise or give you false hope/information but I found something like this. I wasn't really sure if the university may honor something like this tho. https://catalog.csueastbay.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=31&coid=126447

If they do, that is great news and I would say look for a refresher course option. If not, I would ask for further guidelines since health assessment courses are delivered to nursing students primarily!

Sorry T_T I wish I know more about this. Let me know how it goes!

I also wanted to add... Does anyone know if there's a facebook page where we can ask questions about NP programs and seek for professor recommendations? ?

On the CSULA page it has a list of approved health assessment courses. This is how I chose mine. Look at approved prerequisite chart.

When I contacted the program in December they suggested Taylor College continuing ED refresher course. You get 30 CEs and it was relatively cheap. $80 I think?

Hi there, I was not able to find anything thru that bookstore portal but I just bought the patho book via the discount/website they sent us in the email. I think they will let us know more about pharm book but seems kinda unorganized LOL. but OMG this is coming very very soon, how's everyone doing?

This parking structure is the closest! I know they have day passes on the machines but not sure what the other options are.

Thank you for sharing! I also looked up on this univ's website 
https://www.calstatela.edu/parking/visitor-parking

Looks like we have to park on C level of parking structure B if you wish to park nearby as visitors. Somewhat anxiously excited here? Drive safe everyone!
