Thanks for the luck!! I'm still trying to figure out which path would be best, A-BSN or EL-MSN.

levoila: im beginning to think msmc might be a better choice than csun because graduating earlier (12 mo versus 15mo+9csu units) means you are earning a salary sooner AND you can apply to msn-np programs sooner...what do you think? you have to admit, msmc is more conveinant for us too...

I applied to MSMC for the Fall cohort, so it wouldn't make a difference in terms of graduating earlier for me. MSMC would be more convenient, but it would mean considerably more debt. I wouldn't mind paying more if the university had an amazing reputation that might open doors for me in the future, but I don't think that's necessarily the case with MSMC. I mean, I've heard great things about the program, I LOVED the campus--it's a lot closer to home, and I have a feeling that I would love the program, but I don't think it would make that much of a difference where I get the BSN. I'm thinking more about the MSN, since my goal is to become an FNP.

If I do the CSUN program, I think that I'd want to start an MSN program by Fall 2011 or 2012. I noticed that the some of the prerequisites for one program that I looked at have a three-year time limit, so that should work. I think it would be great to payoff my student loans before starting the master's program. I am really annoyed that we won't get any financial aid for the summer--I wonder if the same issue would come up with CSULA's program since it starts in the summer. Not having financial aid for the summer would mean that I would have to commute, which if I left early enough and hung out in the library afterward might not be so bad...

Hello!

If you've been accepted and have decided to go be a member of the 2009 Cohort for the ELMN program at CSULA, I'd love to connect with you. I am very excited to start nursing school this June, and I'm looking forward to working with all of you.

If you are, please reply to this post or email me at [email protected]. I'd like to start a Google group (or Yahoo group, I'm not picky), so we can start connecting.

If I don't hear from you, I guess I'll just meet you in May!

Congratulations, just.fran!! When did you find out? Has she already emailed the people who were accepted, or have you known for a few weeks?
