CSU San Marcos ABSN Fall 2014

Published

Fall 2014 CSUSM ABSN hopefuls- this is the forum to share, bounce ideas off, ask questions with your fellow applicants! I am finishing my last two prerequisites during this Spring 2014 semester but have my rolling application and Teas already submitted. Since many applicants have recently received their acceptance letters for the Summer 2014 cohort, I figured now would be a good time to open up the next forum for Fall. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

No info on orientation yet. I assume they want to get all the background check and drug testing done before sending that info out.

Did everyone join the Facebook group? I only see 5 members so far.

Has anyone activated their campus account yet?

I heard that orientation is around August. They still have not set a date for that one.

Regarding the campus account, they said that it will be activated during orientation.

Hope this helps.

@ohberrry sorry I never responded. I don't always check this message board! I hope you got it to work. I called the school and they had me send a screenshot of the problem in. Then a day later cashnet was up and running! Hopefully the same thing happened for you!!

@kham I tried to find the group on Facebook but I am getting no results when I search Csusm ABSN cohort 20. Should I be searching something else?

@nicole, you should find it by searching csusm absn cohort 20 so not sure why you are not seeing it.

Hey everyone! I live in Sacramento, CA and have also received my conditional acceptance. If anyone else is needing to move to Temecula for school hit me up! I'm looking for roommates :)

Hi all, happened to come across this when looking for something else. I am in ABSN 17, Fall start last year, and just felt the need to help the anxiety for those of you accepted and trying to figure out your lives! We all went through the same thing and wanted to rip our hair out...and just a heads up that each semester is stressful because you don't find out schedules till the last minute cause so much changes! haha. But for first semester, you will do background checks online but you will get the rest of your information about remaining checks, immunization records, physicals, and drug tests at orientation. You have to use specific forms for each of them. Orientation is usually mid-August (8 hour day on campus) and class begins late August. It follows the academic calendar so all holidays and breaks will follow CSUSM. First semester ABSN program is just your last upper division GE prereqs that must be taken at CSUSM. Anthro, Bio (Nutrition), and Philosophy (bioethics). Nursing classes/clinicals don't start until semester 2 (so you don't have to get scrubs, stethoscopes, etc until January). First semster lectures will be all one on day, so about 12 hours of lecture, and thats it. 1 day a week of class! Its pretty easy and low maintenance. So for those of you commuting or have part time jobs, it is definitely do-able first semester no problem. Second semester you move to 3 days/week. Hope that helps you all, and congrats and good luck! Keep an eye out for us on Temecula campus...ABSN 17, as we are exactly one year ahead of you so have lots of words of wisdom! Congrats! Enjoy your last month of freedom.

THIS IS VERY RELIEVING. I was scrambling to find out if we had classes a few times a week. Now that its only once a week for the first semester, I feel as though I do not need to make permanent changes just yet. Thank you for the insight! :) Do you take the GE's at the CSUSM campus or the Temecula campus?

Upper division GEs will be taken at Temecula campus if you have been accepted Fall or Summer.
