Hey everyone! I know this is so far away but I wanted to start a thread for the crazy pre nursing students like myself who are already totally anxious for this next spring to come around! All who are applying to CSU'S for FALL 13 admissions lets start a convo! This way we can use it as a resource for application and other deadlines and a support system while we await are letters! How are everyones stats? Where are you all applying to? Have any of you taken the TEAS yet? Ill start...
I am applying to SFSU, SAC STATE, SAN JOSE STATE, CSUEB, AND USF
cum GPA-3.98
pre reques-4.0 (Still need to take Microbio)
TEAS-havent taken it yet
over a year of pain healthcare work with direct patient care(clinical medical assistant)
multi cultural experience in brazil and nicaragua
2 semesters of ASL(does that count as proficient???)
I was going to apply to Sac State too and it was one of my top choices, but then they closed the Traditional BSN to everyone who wasn't already a Sac state student. Are you a Sac State undergrad? Next they shut down the Accelerated BSN. I was really disappointed.
I also emailed the foreign language department for an assessment. They got back to me after a long time, but by then the programs were already unavailable. A sad story. I hope you have better luck (like you are a Sac State student).
I'm sorry your Science score didn't come out better. I got a 94 overall but Science was my lowest area, which really surprised me. I wish I had a suggestion for you but, like you say, it seems a little random. Maybe scan your Anatomy, Physio, Micro notes. And cross your fingers you get the right random questions this time. Good luck!
Hi rafaeia,I was going to apply to Sac State too and it was one of my top choices, but then they closed the Traditional BSN to everyone who wasn't already a Sac state student.

Good luck with the other schools, though!
Thanks for the helpful info regarding the foreign language department. I think that those who are not sac state students can apply for fall 2013 admissions in nursing. The supplemental part opens on February. It was restricted in spring 2013 though, is that what you are referring to?
Thanks for the update on Sac State, rafaeia. That's great to hear that the program is open again for fall. I'll look into it.
Here is what the language department responded to me:
"For Nursing, you only need the Speaking skill evaluated for Admissions to their program. If you need the Sac State graduation requirement, then take our Proficiency Test for Listening and Reading. You can register for one or all three skills on our form (www.csus.edu/fl under Printable Forms). A $5 fee for each test is paid at Student Finance Center in Lassen Hall. The next Group Test is Feb 15, and you can request the Speaking assessment on that date."
Scwolf- yeah I just checked. The nov 30th deadline is the deadline to apply to the university. I am already a sac state student. The deadline for the nursing program is march 2nd so we have until then. Are you applying?
Oh, sorry. I thought you were talking about CSU EB. My mistake. Sac State... yes, I do plan to apply. I have one class that I need to get assessed; it's English from an out-of-state college. And, I'm afraid I need to take the Spanish language test. It's a long drive for me; I wish there was some way to avoid it but my language skills come from time spent in Mexico not classes (on my transcript).
Oh I see. Wow a lot of obstacles for you. Well I do hope you can get all those done by march 2nd. Maybe you could still get in without those 3 extra points for language. You have high stats!
