CSULB Nursing - Spring 2014

Published

Anyone who apply for CSULB Nursing Spring 2014?

CF17 - If you are currently enrolled at a school somewhere, use their services. I did mine at my JC and paid like $20.

I wish I was :( but I'm not. I wish they told us sooner when I was enrolled!

Hi everyone,

another first time poster here. I checked this thread a couple of times in the past and got a few pieces of good info, so thanks for the contributions. I too got accepted and will be attending.

A bit about me: Long Beach native, already have a BS from elsewhere but wanted to pursue a new path/career. Never attended CSULB before, but my parents met there as students waaaay back when.

I also happen to know someone who already posted in this thread, let's see if she recognizes me *waves hi*

Since I saw some others wondering about where to live: as a general rule of thumb, anything east of Redondo Ave. is ok. East Long Beach in general is a safe place to live. Right around the school is generally pretty nice. The neighborhood west of Bellflower Blvd. has some very nice homes, and the neighborhood to the east of campus is gated south of Anaheim Rd (around the old Rancho Los Alamitos house), to the north is your standard 1950s tract housing (3 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, and 1 or 2 baths in under 2k sq. feet if the house hasn't been added onto). To the south is Belmont Shore and Naples, homes would be unaffordable, but there are some small apartments that can be found (my cousin used to have one). Use the google satellite view and street view, you can figure out a lot just by browsing around on there. The not so nice parts of Long Beach are the area just north of downtown, west of the LA river, and North LB (literally north of the train tracks). If you don't mind driving a few miles to campus, Rossmoor, Westminster, Cypress, and Lakewood are all places you could consider. I'm just north of the airport, so I'll be driving or busing every day

Feel free to PM me if you want to exchange emails or have any questions. And looking forward to meeting a bunch of you at the orientation.

Hello, Regarding CF17's comments regarding the dates for insurance: this information is WRONG. I did not make an error. Please follow the deadline dates that I gave you. November 26 is the date you need to choose. Thank you. (this message is from the person who will review all your health care documents. I look forward to meeting you all soon)

Hello CF17, If you have any questions, you should contact Catherine Mullins (me) directly. I am here to help! Since you need both the background check and the health tracker, you are going to need to choose CB76. Looking forward to meeting you! Best, CM

Sorry, you were given misinformation over the phone. November 26 is the deadline date.

Hello Nung, Thank you for your comments. I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad experience dealing with staff (though you didn't state whom you spoke with). If you have any questions, please contact me directly and I'd be happy to help. My contact information is in the health care orientation packet you needed to read on the website (we are in high gear right now to get next semester ready so the best way to reach me right now is via email). I look forward to meeting you in December. Kind Regards, C.Mullins

We're supposed to turn in the contingency contract to the nursing office, correct? Also, in the contract, it says "Completion of health compliance tracker documents by set deadlines. Your annual documents must be completed by 11-16-13..." Is this true? I still haven't finished all of my annual documents o_o

CF17, thank you for recommending pro-CPR! I just sent them an email to sign up for a class.

No problem! The guy who teaches it is really good. It's long but not too bad!

And I hope that's the wrong date too I deffinetly haven't finished either lol
