CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

PeaceLoveHapp3ness · Mar 19, 2012

I think you were in my group. I was in a purple shirt sitting at the end. Were you sitting next to me? My group had 3 girls and 3 guys. Does that sound right?
So is BeachSideNic the guy who walked us to the interview room?

Yes I was in your group! :) You were in the purple shirt with the black suit jacket, with brown hair? And no, I wasn't the one sitting next to you, I was the other girl across from you sitting at the end of the table near the proctor and sitting next to the two boys. I was wearing a white jacket. Yes, I am the black girl. Haha. Not trying to be rude or offensive, thats just another way to identify me.

Oh and yeah, BeachSideNic was the guy who walked us to the room.

The Fall 2012 courses have been posted up. I checked the class sizes on the mycsulb portal for the lecture portions (2 lecture times) for the 1st semester classes and the seats add up to 84 for all of them. In comparison to Spring 2012 where seats totaled up to 92, but only 82 students were enrolled. They never accept more students than the class' capacity.

In other words, expect the nursing cohort to be around 84 students and no more that.

Schedule of Classes

Thanks for the update. I looked at the NUTR339 class and saw that they have an option of taking it on Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM from 8/27/12-9/22/12. Is that a new option? 4 Saturday's for 8 hours each, sheesh!

I would actually choose that option if I had the choice. Nutrition is an easy enough class that I would just want to get it out of the way. Then again, that's just me.

Too bad we don't have any say in our schedules. :down:

Thanks Clueless for the heads up!

More cuts... What a surprise. It's really sad that people are having to give up their dreams of receiving a Bachelor's degree because CSU's won't accept them and they cannot afford other options. Putting education last on the budget is going to bite our nation in the butt and we know it, yet we (the government, mostly) continue to support cuts. Talk about increasing the gap between the rich and the poor.. :down:

I hope that the CSU's at least tell applicants ahead of time if they decide to not accept Spring transfers so that applicants don't waste their money on applying!

This REALLY SUCKS.. but I am not surprised. I am a spring 2013 hopeful and if csulb doesn't accept spring applicants, I have to change my plans drastically. How much in advance will CSULB notify us if they decide to not accept spring applicants? Hopefully around May because that is when I have to notify other CSU's my intent to enroll, but unfortunately, I would have to complete a different degree . Well, if anyone finds out any new updates, please share!

Nic: If I remember correctly you posted that you are in class 4 days a week. Is it an 8 hour day? Do you start 7am? 8am? I ask because I may be relocating and will possibly need to carpool.

DarkBluePhoenix · Mar 22, 2012

Wow....How typical. And what will happen to those 20,000 students they cut out of getting into schools? Will they be forced to go out of state and pay EVEN more big bucks to get an education? What about overloading out of state schools? What about the CSU employees? They are already over-worked and rude when you try to contact them! What about schooling that requires a license? CA is one of the best schools to get a licenses such as an RN. It basically transfers anywhere!

****Ugh it is so sad how our state seems to give welfare out like candy and support illegal immigrants education and yet screws its own citizens (and students) up the ass. ****

Doesn't surprise me.

I don't know about you all, but once I graduate, I am moving out of this hell hole, preferably to a country that put its citizens first.

I feel for the students coming up and applying for spring 2013. It will be hard. The best bet is to maybe transfer in the summer...I don't know if CSULB will allow you to do that but its worth a shot. If you could apply other places, that could help. Apply to as many places as possible, even ADN and far away schools. The drive will suck, but its better than waiting for this crap economy to get better...who knows how many more budget cuts it will take.

Do not put all your eggs in one basket...

I am curious though, this budget is for 2012-2013....will this effect us that may come into the fall??!

****This may not sound sunshiny but its the way I feel. So I want to warn everyone that its an opinion, my opinion that I really don't want to argue about so if it offends you then please skip it. Sorry in advance.....

It differs depending on what semester you're in.

There is only one, 8 hour day for the first semester. This is once a week and is the clinical for NURS 200. Then you have 2 days for lecture... 3 if you count the 1 unit NUTR class. For exact times, check out the Fall 2012 schedule.

The proposed $27 million budget cut shouldn't affect Fall 2012 because the ballot initiative will be held in November.
