CSU-Pueblo January 2016 Start

Published

Anyone else get into CSU-P for their basic BSN? I just got in off the standby list and am moving in two weeks from Denver. If I can find an apartment by then anyway.

If anyone wants to meet up for beers or whatever before the orientation I'll be down there after the 10th or so.

Hi Muffinman,

Congrats on being accepted into the program at CSU pueblo. I'm interested in applying for the Spring 2017 cohort and was wondering what their cutoff gpa is, secondly considering classes only recently began i know you wouldn't have a multitude of information but how often do you have class? I have two young kids and a husband as well as i do work so I'm interested in knowing what the workload will be like.

I had a 3.65 or so pre-req GPA but had a previous degree from 10 years prior which had a miserable GPA. My cumulative over all my college credits was a 3.1 and I was on the standby list. I was notified I got in 30 days before the semester started.

Hey! I'm doing my pre req's at PPCC right now, looking into CSU-Pueblo's LPN-RN. I know you're doing the Basic RN, but how are you liking the classes/clinicals?

It's pretty good. The first semester we're in a long-term care (LTC) facility which leaves a bit to be desired for me personally; LTC isn't my cup of tea but it's a decent enough place. Classes are crazy, it's a lot of work and a lot to learn. It's not horrible, but I really haven't had much free time which is to be expected. I'm not working this semester either. Most professors I like, one is just ok. I feel like I'm learning a lot and the school is setting me up with the right skill set.

I can't imagine what the accelerated program is like, and I'm really glad I didn't get into the accelerated program first (I applied to both).

Hi all!

I'm considering CSU for next year, but I'm curious how long the wait was for those of you who were put on the waiting list? Was this an issue with student loans?

Hi everyone. I'm starting the nursing program in January. Did anyone apply and get in? Also, how is class going for the one who is in the program now?
