Hello everyone, I was unable to find a thread with potential CSULB Spring transfers so I decided to start one. Hopefully, everyone is just as excited as I am :) I haven't taken the TEAS yet and I am currently wrapping up Micro. I plan on taking TEAS The end of may or early June and if I am unsatisfied with my results I will retake them in July. I would love to hear from other applicants! Good luck!!
I hve a question regarding the vaccines. If we dont have say the Hep B vaccine which is a 3 shot series over 6 months. Are we not allowed into the program until the 6 months?
I believe you just have to start and submit where you are in the series. I hope so, I started my series, but my last shot won't be done until after the start of the semester.
Did SON give us an official date for turning in all of our health / other documents? I thought I saw a deadline for Jan. 11 at one point, but now I can't find this information again.
The January 11 deadline is mentioned on the contract we had to sign for them, which says "Completion of health compliance tracker documents by set deadlines. Your annual documents must be completed by January 11, 2019 and your background check must be done by November 21, 2018."
I was also under the assumption that's the deadline for all those documents they listed out for us.
Thanks! Are you in the semester or trimester program? Also, do you have some pros and cons of each?
Im in the trimester program, which is nice because it's faster but also is more difficult, has a full ICU rotation whereas semester doesn't get a "real" ICU rotation, you get to know Long Beach memorial really well because you do the majority of your clinical rotations there and may end up receiving a contract to work there after graduation. Semester is easier from what I hear (don't quote me), more variety of clinical sites which may mean more commuting, but takes 2.5 years to complete which to me is a drag which is why I chose trimester. Hope this helps!
Hello! Thank you! I was wondering what will the general schedule look like for first semester? Is it 4 or 5 days a week? Will they all be lectures or are there clinicals and any insight you may have.
My schedule consisted of one day of patho/pharm lecture, another day of fundamentals lecture, one day of fundamentals clinical, and one day of careplanning (won't happen until week 5 because first few weeks are skills focused and your care planning day may or mY not fall on the same day as one of your lecture days). The schedule changes some semesters but it seems like it's pretty much the same as mine at least since I've been in the program. Days will differ but same format. Hope this helps!

When I called 2 weeks ago, I was #9. I don't know if it has moved at all.
