California State University- San Bernardino???

I am looking at different nursing programs and am curious if anyone has had any experience with the BSN program at CSUSB? How is the admissions process? What about the program itself? Is your schedule pre-determined or do you have the freedom of setting your schedule? I appreciate whatever information you have!!!

CSU's don't do wait lists.....If you don't get admitted, you just reapply.....

This particular CSU doesn't, but SDSU does.

I was just admitted into CSU San Bernardino's Winter 2012 nursing program. I have never been there and would like to know about the campus, the social life/networking and surrounding areas.

I am a 23 year old female and will be far from home (7 hours). I want to go to a school where I feel it is a comfortable learning environment. I've heard and read reviews that the school itself is beautiful, but the surrounding areas and streets are "bad areas".

Does anyone know what the stats are for nursing grads that actually gets jobs right out of the program? Does CSUSB have connections with hospitals where you have a better chance of getting a job out of the program? Are there any clubs for nursing students?

Where are there nice places to live for a first-year transfer student, on campus or off?

My last question is: am I better off going applying for a JC program (one that I already know has hospital connections and 100% NCLEX pass rates) than go to CSUSB and spend more money going there?

Sorry about all of the questions. I just really want the best education offered to me and to be as comfortable as possible while I am going to nursing school. Thank you for your time!

Bridal1987---What were your grades applying into San Bernardino State? I applied for next Fall admissions! I've walked San Bernardino State! It's a beautiful campus in the Mountains heading towards Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear off the 210 freeway!

I had a 3.8 when I applied. I had A's in all of my classes except Anatomy I got a B+. My TEAS score sucked, I didn't even hardly study so I got a 76. So, it just goes to show that if you have a high GPA, your TEAS shouldn't matter that much. GOOODLUCK! :)

Bridal1987---I'm applying with hopefully a 3.2 or 3.3 GPA with all the pre-req grades put together. I have Straight B's in my sciences :/ My GE pre-reqs I have A's and B's. I'm about to retake my TEAS test this December and January. I'm just really hoping that my grades will be good enough with a high TEAS score to get into San Bernardino State. That is my first choice of school and my 2nd choice is CSU Channel Islands. Let me know what you think!

I am also applying to CSUSB for fall 2012. I have 3.2 overall and like a 3.8-4.0 pre req depending on which classes they count as pre req. 82% teas but I am retaking it.

I don't think I am all that competitive but all we can do is try.

BeachBedhead, Your scores sound competitive. Your TEAS was even higher than mine was. Good luck.
