CSULB Spring 2020

Updated:   Published

Hello everyone!

I couldn't find a thread for the upcoming spring admission, so I thought I should start one. Who is applying to CSULB this upcoming semester for spring 2020? I've finished all my pre-requisites. I just need to take TEAS which I am taking in early June. I would love to hear from other applicants and current CSULB nursing students.

Hope to hear back from you all and good luck :)!

I went to the learning center to get my ATI books, but it appears to not be open during business hours. Has anyone gotten theirs yet? We were supposed to read several chapters before the first day.

On her post on beach board it says that the chapters to read are from the Berman & Snyder textbook which is the ebook that she gave us the link for (we have to buy it by Feb I believe)

This is a dumb question, but it still gives me a touch of anxiety—we don’t need to wear our uniforms to lectures for nursing 200, right?

I don't think so

Hey, I am a fourth semester student at CSULB.

You will only wear your uniforms to clinical. You can dress casually to lectures on campus.

Hi, everyone!

Quick question for you all:

I'm going to be applying for Spring 2021, yay! But I'm wondering... how has CSULB been with your cohort in offering financial aid (grants/scholarships)? I'm a second degree candidate with a family (and I'm over 40) and am wondering how generous the University has been with scholarship money. I'm not averse to loans, just would prefer "free" money if possible ?

Any info would be so helpful!! TIA!

Hi there, any current CSULB nursing students want to share there experience on how nursing school is going? I’m still torn on whether to do trimester or semester track.... both seem awesome! How big is the workload in the Summer for trimester?

Hi! I’m a second semester nursing student in the semester program. The workload is supposed to be just as large in the summers as it is in the fall (which can about 15 units). Due to Covid, some students are not able to get the clinical opportunity they need for their classes to count, so this is not a predictable course load or experience. We are almost exclusively doing our classes online and Spring 2021 will be the same. The factor that is constant—if you were going to be needing any financial aid to pay for school, summers are not covered at all— only fall and Spring get aid. If you have no financial reason to need pelgrants or cal grants, and feel capable of doing large workloads in the Summer—go for trimester. Good luck!
