CSULA APRN/FNP Program 2019

Published

Hey fellow nurses!

I just want to start a thread for those of you that applied to the CSULA NP program starting in fall 2019, since I haven’t seen one yet ?

I received an interview invitation for 3/16th kinda nervous! I’m 24 from NJ, have been an RN for 1.5yrs! I applied to the FNP program, can’t wait to move to the sunny California soon!

let me know where you guys are from and what specialty are you choosing?

Psych for me! Congrats everybody ?

Hi Psych.nurse! Seeing that you applied to this program, I had a few questions. I’m interested in CSULA PMHNP but only have Med/Surg/Telemetry and Acute dialysis experience. I’ve been trying to apply to psych jobs but with no luck. Do you know how competitive it was to get into the program with no psych experience? I went to a cal state for my BSN and I had a great learning experience, and do not feel comfortable doing those online programs. Also did you have to interview? Thanks!

Hii!

I am late to this forum but I gather that you are attending the CSULA MSN psych program. I have a question for you that I would be so grateful for an answer to. So I am looking into attending CSULA MSN psych option (already accepted) but I am considering other options and it would be so helpful for me to know about the class scheduling. I will be commuting and I am wondering if it is possible to lump classes to one day a week (I know this is possible at other schools). ?? Thank you in advance! I am having trouble finding info on this

Anyone here come from CSULA's ABSN program to their MSN/NP? How was the transition? Any info about your experience would be helpful!

@Carassssss I'm not part of the psych NP Program, I'm part of a different NP track but all NP students at CSULA had the same classes the first year. First term we had 3 lectures. One class on Monday night and two classes Tuesday morning. We were not given the option to take all courses on the same day. The second term we had 3 lectures plus 1 lab. We had the option of choosing all lectures on one day or divided into 2 days PLUS the one lab day. 

During their third and fourth semester they have 1 lecture plus clinicals.
