Hello - Like many of us BSN-RN's trekking the long journey, I am enrolled in the "conditionally admitted" FNP program at CSU Dominguez Hills for the fall 2014. Anyone else soon joining on this journey or taking this journey right now?

Hi Undermercy&grace,

I really wanted this to be a good program. I had planned to apply, until one of my coworkers failed to be selected after investing efforts as a "conditional student" in the FNP program. She wasted the time and money she could have denoted to a program where she would have had full acceptance! She also said it was disorganized. I told my ob/gyn NP that I was interested in the program and she discouraged me, commenting that she has precepted student(s) from that program in the past and was "not impressed." Their method of selection is fairly unique; I don't understand the process of taking core classes, but with the possibility that you may not make it into the program. Who has that type of time and money? There are so many other good programs out there...ones that have staff that will be a little nicer to you! Shame on them. Good luck! :)

Are you guys doing the Bridge or straight MSN since you have a BSN? I am talking about the bridge completed by students who have a BS in a different field.

Thanks for your reply - I will send you an email at the handle you gave me - Are you going to the FNP orientation? Did you sign up already? I almost feel like backing out because of the conditional admit thing - I mean, if I don't have to go through the undue stress, I could go to another program with a better reputation! I still have a month and a half to really decide though. Have a great week!

Hi UMG,

Are you kidding? That's ridiculous. CSUDH seems awful! Have you listened to their webinar for the FNP program on youtube? It left a lot to be desired; really amateurish. I looked at University of San Diego (too expensive), San Diego State (no FNP program...and they were RUDE everytime I tried to get any information at all) and Cal State San Marcos (NP programs not accredited by the California Board of Nursing, if you can even believe that!). So I decided to look outside of California. I applied to and got accepted into Ohio State, which I'm VERY happy and excited about. It was my first choice. I also considered University of Alabama, University of Nevada Las Vegas, and Gonzaga. It's hard to find a program! Are you in California?

I am also conditionally accepted in the MSN Pathway program. I registered 4 classes but I have not pay for the orientation for NP yet. Why we have to pay for an orientation ?

I've read somewhere that CSUDH graduates have some advantage for the NP role final acceptance.
