CSULA ABSN Summer 2021

Published

Hi Everyone!

This is a forum for CSULA's Accelerated BSN program starting June (Summer) 2021. 

Applications just opened & are due in January. I was surprised that there wasn't a forum already created so thought I’d create one so we can keep each other updated ?

Practice answering typical interview questions: tell me about yourself, how did you get into nursing, what makes a good nurse, how would your colleagues describe you, strengths and weaknesses. You may get asked a behavioral question or two. Stay away from stereotypical answers - meaning draw from your own unique experience and background. It’s a second degree program, the more confidence you exude in talking about how different you are and what transferable skills you can bring to the world of nursing, the better ?

Hello future nurses. Excited to have discovered this platform! I just wanted to share that I spoke with (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) and we will not be doing a writing sample this year due to logistical challenges tied to the pandemic. Thanks to everyone for contributing to this thread:)

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum but so glad I found this forum! I am also applying to the Summer '21 ABSN. If this helps anyone, I received my application confirmation on Jan. 12 and received an interview invitation on Jan. 16th. There were four days in Jan/Feb that were avialable to interview in the email. 

Good luck everybody!

Hello,

By chance has anyone who's application materials were delivered on or near the deadline date of Jan 12th received a confirmation email that their application materials were received yet? Still awaiting mines so not sure to reach out to check on my status or still wait a bit more.

 

Thanks in advance!

Still haven’t received confirmation that they received my application - mine was delivered the 12th as well. I still wouldn’t worry about it!

@Cupcakes0721 @kemsn My application packet was delivered on the 12th and I received a confirmation that it was received this past Sunday. The next day, I was extended an invitation to interview! I know waiting can be stressful, but ----------------------- is trying her best to get to every applicant as soon as possible. Good luck to you both!
