Hi everyone! I'd thought I'd get a forum going for those who have applied to CSM nursing for fall 2025 to keep each other up with updates regarding the program 🙂

By chance, does anyone want to create a Facebook Group for CSM Nursing 2027? That might be an easier way for all of us to share information/communicate. 

That would be cool. I could set one up this weekend and let ya'll know. Someone also mentioned discord but I figure that makes more sense once school actually starts.

It's if you're licensed in the healthcare field. So if you are an MA, PA, CPT, LVN, Counselor, etc. Judy said if it doesn't apply then skip. If you put this on your application then you need to upload your license.

Did everyone get a flu vaccine? I just realized it was on castlebranch and haven't had a flu vaccine in years. I'm worried I won't be able to get it by the deadline.

I contacted the program for this reason, you don't need the flu vaccine until it is flu season. I learned the hard way because my PCM gave me one last week and CastleBranch branch denied it since it was out of season. So wait until the new flu vaccine is out.
