CSU Long Beach School of Nursing (Fall 2010)

[matthewandrew]

This thread is for those who are aspiring a seat in CSU Long Beach's School of Nursing for Fall 2010.

We all know the current impaction of the program. We are all familiar with the challenging process.

We understand the competition between all the applicants. You are not alone!

I submitted my application yesterday and I must tell you the relief I suddenly had.

I have worked hard the past two years of my life and there is nothing else I can do but pray and hope. =]

Has anyone else turned in their application?

[justmoi]

I was wondering if any of you have applied to any scholarship in particular. Any tips to help would be appreciated. I have done my FAFSA.

I'm in the alternate list. do you guys know what I'm supposed to do in the mean time? I'm going to register for Fall 2010 classes soon and I don't know what to do because I don't really know if I will get in or not. What is the likelihood alternates getting in? I had applied with straight A's, one course in progress ©, and about an 85 on the TEAS. interview seemed ok. do you think if I get an A in that course in progress, I will get in next time? Should I retake the TEAS? haha I'm panicking. thanks in advance for any replies.

Any transfer students received the acceptance letter from university admissions? I'm still waiting for my university acceptance & it's taking forever.

Hi. I am a Senior in high school. I got accepted into CSU Long Beach under the major of Nursing:Basic BS. What does that mean? Do I have to apply to the School of Nursing too?

[daitrong]

It just means you're a nursing major at CSULB. You still have to apply to the school after you meet the requirements.

Hey guys, I have a question:

I've been admitted to CSULB as a pre-nursing major. What exactly does this mean? I know I'm not a real nurse (yet...), but I wanted to ask people who've been through the process and know what they're talking about.

If I'm accepted as a pre-nursing major, does that just mean I have to take my GE classes and prerequisite classes during my freshman year and then apply for the real nursing major when I'm finished with those?

Also: The school of nursing at CSULB is pretty well-known... and I know that the current economic conditions are making it difficult for people go graduate at other Cal States. Does the same thing apply for CSULB? Am I going to have to fight for a spot in class and pray that classes don't get cancelled? Will my graduation be delayed because of this? I'm trying to decide between CSULB and UCI, and this information will really help me to make my final decision.

Thanks!

You will still need to take your prerequisites and GEs before you apply for the actual nursing program. "Pre-nursing" is not an official major either. If you become a junior and still have not declared a major or have not been accepted to the nursing program, you will need to declare something. For me, my nursing counselor declared my major as "health science" even though that is different from the actual nursing major. (You can't declare nursing if you're not in the program). I'm still going for the nursing program, with no need to fulfill that declared major's requirements. Once I'm in the program, then my major will officially be Nursing.

Hi everyone,

Congrat to all the people who get accepted. I am on the alternative list. Hope that luck will come to me.

Any of you guys knows is there a chance to the alternate to get in?

[justmoi]

Yes there is always a chance. Some people who got accepted in csulb also got accepted somewhere else. These people might decide to go to another school.

So, there is a chance!! But be ready for anything.

[lolandrew]

Andrew is in!

[Janebui10]

THanks for the reply. I hope so too. Besides, I also have the back-up plan ready for any circumstance.
