Hello! I'm new to allnurses.com and I hope I can fit in with you guys :redbeathe
I'm surprised that no one else has started a thread about CSU Long Beach's nursing interview for Fall 2011! The Interviews begin next week and isn't anyone out there as nervous as I am! I live in Norcal so the long drive down to Long Beach, will hopefully be well worth it!
I have only gathered small bits and pieces of information about the interview for CSULB and if you guys would like to share what you know with me; that would help a lot.

@ 22 flowers: im planning on doing the trimester one. yeah i can send it to u just give me ur email? btw this was the email that monalisa sennt us earlier

Room Psy 150. If you have any questions or other concerns, please feel
thanks pia! it'll take about an hour to open the file b/c my internet is soooooo slow which adds to the suspense. i'll try not to lose hope! was CSULB your 1st choice school? did you apply and get accepted to other programs?
Hopefully, someone will find out whats going on with the preliminary list. I only saw 62 students listed, so the 28 left over spots should be for the remaining CSULB students. Can anyone call and find out? I think ---- is tired of hearing my voice haha.
hey guys - bummer, i just found out that i did NOT get into the CSULB BSN program it doesn't appear that they have a waitlist, at least for transfers, so either they will take less students if the accepted decline or the waitlist will be made up of CSULB students. maybe someone can verify this later.
for transfers, if you want to find out if an admission decision had been made & if you got in, call the automated CSULB phone number (562-985-2500). if a decision has been made & you've been accepted, it will tell you so congrats! if a decision and automated system does not tell you what it is, then call 562-985-5471 to find out for sure. this is what i did.
good luck to all! unfortunately for me, I've used up all my backup plans. had a 9.33 (4.0 GPA) as CSULB applicant and was rejected....also rejected from other CSU's also. don't think i can wait another year to reapply again.....oh well....
by the way....the list posted is preliminary and it says that remaining students will be added to list after interviews are conducted, presumingly by CSULB students....
yeh - super bad timing i guess. i heard last spring '11 admissions, transfer got in w/ lower stats b/c they allowed transfers in at the last minute. i didn't apply at that time b/c i still had speech IP but i should've just applied anyway b/c i probably would have gotten in. who knew they would only accept an unprecedented 25 only transfer students for fall '11. had i known that, i would have retaken my TEAS exam and improved my score but i thought w/ a 4.0GPA i would get in for sure. i see on this post that those w/ less GPA got in b/c they had higher TEAS scores than me. i would probably reapply for fall '12 if i knew that they would for sure reopen up ALL 90 spots to transfer students, but w/ the CA budget situation, who knows? maybe no transfers at all accepted in that cycle which would leave me out in the cold again.
