CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

Ya they pretty much told me the same thing. And they said they can't hold a box for me either. I don't understand why they would wait for a shipment to be delivered during the first week of school unless they already sold out of the new boxes. Has anyone bought a new box? Do you think I should wait for the new box that may come next week since I only have clinicals on Monday and my next class is on Thursday. Maybe it'll come by next Thursday. Do we need books for the thing on Monday that we all go to?

We don't need books for Monday. I'm waiting until the shipment comes in next week. I'm sure if there's anything we need in class as far as books we'll be able to share or something during this first week.

what about the other quizzes that are on beachboard? They are called LBMMC safety fair and infection control august 2012. Can we begin these now? I think they need to be done before we start clinicals

for the badge form, what is the differnece between the employee number and the resource license number? Which one do we use for our badge number?

I don't think we'll need our books next week, so it shouldn't be a big deal if you get them until then. Sometimes there are late shipment of books. It happens.

How much are the nursing patches and IDs?

Nursing patches were $6 each and ID was $2 if I remember correctly

Hi! I just applied to the fall 2013 nursing program and had a couple of questions. How many days a week do you have to attend a class or clinicals? I live in south orange county, and I am a mom, so I'm wondering if the drive is going to be too much of a waste of time with care plans to write and studying to do? I am considering moving to Belmont, but I would love your honest feedback. I hope some of you will still get this, and hope all is well!

Hey,

I'm currently a 2nd semester student, mommy of a 2 year old, and I also work. I currently live in Laguna Hills and the drive hasn't been too bad so far. If you don't have Patho, Pharm, and Nutrition out of the way you're going to have an insanely busy schedule first semester. The students who were taking all those PLUS the nursing classes were at school like 5 days a week it seemed like. I had all those classes out of the way before starting the program and I was at school twice a week, and clinical once a week (but had to be at the hospital the day before to pick my patients for about 30-50 minutes). I managed to squeeze in a capstone as well. This semester I'll be at school twice a week, and we have clinical once a week but sometimes clinical twice a week. It's definitely incredibly busy trying to manage everything but doable as long as you take it day by day :)

Actually, on second thought, I would hoenstly discourage you from attending CSULB. The way they have managed this program since the beginning has been a disaster. They change classes and times at their leisure without any regards to the lives of people (some of us actually have to work and have to care for our kids). Classes start again on Monday and they just e-mailed us completely rearranging our schedule. I am HIGHLY dissappointed with this program, and had I known this I honestly would have invested my time, hard work, and money elsewhere.

Thanks Anna for all of your honest advice! I do appreciate it. I have all of my classes done aside from the core nursing classes. I am truly sorry to hear that the program has disappointed you. As you know, there are not many options available for a BSN in the local area, and my score at CSUSM was not good enough for their program. Thanks again for your advice, and I hope they get it together!
