CSULB FALL 2020

[ninja1968]

Hello. I wanted to create this forum for people who are applying to Cal State Long Beach for Fall 2020. This is a place where we can compare and discuss statistics between us, as well as ask questions regarding the program.

Hey guys!

What are you guys planning on wearing to the communication activity? I need ideas! I think I'm going to go for a black blazer and nice blouse underneath.

I think a blazer and nice blouse would work perfectly! I'm planning on wearing a nice blouse and black pants (kinda like jeans). For the shoes I'm thinking black flats or a short pair of heels.

Jesus... surprised you didn’t pick the later time slots. I picked 2pm because I’m coming from Culver City but that is way closer than you LOL

I'm confirmed for 8am! Anyone else going at that time? If so, I'll see you there! Bright and early... haha?

Haha yeah unfortunately I work later in the day so I couldn’t do a later slot. Yeah Culver City isn’t too far ?

Does anyone know if the hospital(s) you are assigned to for clinicals are based on your location and/or preference? I live in Culver City, which is why I ask. I’ve read from previous forums that the trimester program does all of their clinicals at Long Beach Memorial Hospital, which is a reasonable distance from me. But, I also heard that the semester program does clinicals at several different hospitals. I am curious if I get accepted into the program and I am assigned to the semester program, if the hospitals I would do my clinicals at would be assigned based on my location and/or preference? I was curious about this information after reading from previous students in the semester program that they did clinicals at various hospitals in Orange County such as: Saddleback in Laguna Hills and Hoag in Newport Beach which is about 50 miles from where I currently live. I know students are chosen for the trimester and semester programs through a lottery, so I just want to be prepared in case I am chosen for the semester program. Any info would be appreciated!
