CSU Los Angeles School of Nursing (CSULA Fall 2012)

Published

Hello,

I thought I'd make this thread for the new application group... even though it's a bit late since we have to all apply soon!

Anyway! I want to apply for the Fall 2012 term but I had some questions. I am an current CSULA student that transferred to CSULA in Fall 2010. I'm a Psychology major but am applying for Fall 2012 Nursing. I haven't taken my TEAS yet, but I'll be taking that on Friday (!!), so I'm very nervous about that.

That said, this is my first question:

I've been getting mixed info from different people. When I visited the Academic Advising Office last Spring (2011), the adviser told me that as long as I did not graduate from CSULA BEFORE I graduated, I could apply to the SON as a BSN applicant. I called SON to see if I could even apply for the ELM program and they told me that as far as they knew, I could not because I did not have my Bachelor's Degree yet.

So right now, I have approximately 2 quarters left in order to finish my Psychology major, approximately 6~8 classes. Ideally, I could finish by Spring 2012, but depending on my other workloads, I could push it back to Fall 2012. The problem is that I'm not allowed to graduate if I want to go into the basic program so I can't apply for graduation just yet. But IF I don't get into the BSN program, then I have to wait another two quarters after May or June or whenever they send out acceptances in order to officially graduate.

So I went to go and talk to my adviser about graduation and if I should even bother applying for Spring 2012 graduation and she tells me that no, I'm not allowed to apply for a BSN but I can go for the ELM program. :eek:

Does anyone know which is true? :confused: The CSULA advisers tell me that I can't apply for the Basic program but I can apply for ELM while the SON says that I can't apply for ELM because I don't have my Bachelor's degree yet and I should apply for the BSN program. Other graduate schools like APU and UCLA have also told me the same thing - without a Bachelor's, I cannot get apply for the ELM program at their school.

Thank you~

Mine still says admitted with a green checkmark

under "health and human services"

blah

not much help since I havent paid

I just checked and mine changed to incomplete again too. I paid the enrollment deposit also.

But again, you might want to call admissions and double check. Just in case!

Thanks guys!! I will call in tomorrow and see what's up with admissions!!!

No problem, I hope everything works out for you!! And good news comes in for all of us this week -- we've definitely worked hard for this. But things happen for a reason...so keep being optimistic everyone!!

They will send out the acceptance letters by waves. I dont know by how much. They do this because they wanna see first if those people who were accepted to the program will accept the offer. If they decline it, the next person/s will get a letter. Unfortunately you wont get a letter if your in the waitlist til end of May or June.

Not that I would fault your logic but are you sure?

The people in the office told me they send them out in bulk...

ugh

I guess again, I am stuck wasting $100

Question:

How did you pay it?

Did you print out the form and mail the check in or deliver by hand?!

OH

Hahaha It would help if I actually read the email instead of just skim through it.

meh

Hi! I have my Master;s Degree in Clinical Psych and I want to apply to become a Psychiatric NP at Cal. state LA. Question-I need to do just about all the pre-reqs. That being said, do I have to take all those classes before I apply to the program? Do I need to take the GRE? Thanks!
