CSUSB FALL 2021

Published

Hi! I was wondering if anyone is applying for CSUSB's Fall 2021 admission? I have not seen a forum, yet. However, I wanted to make this forum, so we can share our stats and help each other out during the process. ?

I got accepted this morning to the SB campus!

These were my stats 

Cumulative: 3.77

Pre-req: 3.88

TEAS: 79.3

Hi,

I have a question regarding Spring 2022 admission. I rejected the Fall 2021 admission letter and want to reapply. Does anyone know if I have to submit another CSU application? Because on CSUSB website, their nursing application period seems a little bit off, as CSU application isn't even open yet.

Thank you so much!

At first I got accepted as pre nursing then I got the actual email for the nursing program at csusb but I’m pretty sure I was not their first choice . Someone probably denied their acceptance and then I got in because my stats were not as competitive

  • Pre-req GPA: 4.0 (1 course in progress)
  • TEAS: 89
  • Non-bilingual

Congrats to everyone that got in and good luck to those still waiting!

Awesome, thank you!

How are you guys feeling so far? I was wondering what the classes/clinical schedule is like? Are clinical sites far from the SB campus? Is it possible to get As? I heard straight A students get B's and C's... Any tips? Are the ADN to BSN students in completely different classes than the BSN students?

Thank you again ??

We are on our second semester and it is challenging. We are all doing great, it is possible to get As but having said that, don’t go in with the mentality of having to get As because there will be an exam that won’t be an A and it can be disappointing. Something they stressed about was “you aren’t competing against others” it’s just really about soaking in all of the information at a very fast speed. Teaching and Learning techniques are very different compared to pre-reqs. Come in with an open mind and be ready to adapt. You’ll have to do a lot of nursing process and judgment, the style of question on the exams are close to being case scenarios and as the semester goes the questions Can get a bit complex. You can prepare yourself by reviewing material pertaining to the class you’ll be starting, to give you an idea of what will be covered. 
ADN to BSN have their own schedule, not sure what their schedule looks like.

For classes, first semester was two days for lecture and one day of clinical. This semester is two day lecture and one day clinical. Clinical usually falls on a day we do not have classes. For our cohort, our classes have been on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Clinical varies, they have us in groups. As for sites, if I’m remembering correctly, our cohort has been divided between Kaiser, Saint Bernardine, Ballard and Arrowhead. 
I’m sure everything varies because we are under a lot of changes due to COVID, just be prepared to be adaptable to changes. ? 

I think overall Nursing School is challenging, and it is just so that you’ll be better prepared for the NCLEX. Definitely search for tools that will be helpful like the Saunders NCLEX or Level up RN videos. During school they will also give you tip and or resources.

Did you live on campus or did you live nearby? I just got accepted and I live about an hour away (one way). I want to see if nursing school is doable by commuting or would you recommend moving on campus.
