CSUSB Winter 2013

U.S.A. California

Published

Hey everyone, this is the first application process for a Nursing program for myself and I am only applying to CSUSB for Winter 2013. I wanted to see if anyone else is in the same boat as me. I am very nervous for this process!!! I have already applied for the general admission into CSUSB however, I have not heard back yet. I am scheduled to take my first attempt at the TEAS test this Friday at LMU and am also very nervous for that. Is it true that CSUSB does not care how many attempts an applicant takes the TEAS? I have been studying and using the practice tests on ATI Testing's website. So far my scores are not as good as I would like. If anyone has taken the TEAS and used the practice tests online, could you let me know if they are similar?

My perquisite GPA is a 3.79 and my overall gpa is a 3.52. They are not extremely high but I am hoping they are good enough. I have heard that Winter is less competitive due to the lower amount of applicants but I am still being realistic about the situation. There are so many people applying and hopeful to get accepted just as I am. I have all of the items on the list needed to apply on Sept. 4th. (2 Recommendation letters, Bilingual letter, etc.) However, I do live in San Bernardino county but I went to MT. SAC which is out of the SB County so it does not count me as a resident, sadly. I do not have a TEAS score yet but I will Friday, and hopefully won't need to take it again to get a better score.

So thats all i've got right now, thanks in advanced for any feedback :)

Does anyone know how many applicants there were for winter 13?

Congrats everyone who made it in! I won't see you for orientation because I will be at clinical but maybe afterwards! Start saving up some $$ now or ask for $$ for Christmas! It's going to be expensive. I would start looking for a CPR class soon, preferably a cheap one. Also get health insurance now if you don't have it. Get started on your vaccines like hep B, DTAP, varicella, polio series and flu shot. Don't get them just make appointments for them. And your physical. Plus you will need a 2step PDD test (tb). Shoes and uniform are expensive. Then there is ATI which you won't need til later but it's $400+ so keep that in mind. Anyway sorry for scaring you guys. Better be prepared then not right? Anyway again congrats and I look forward to seeing you all!

New to the thread but just wanted to say congrats to everyone!!! I also got accepted to Winter 2013! I am looking forward to meeting all of you. Just an FYI, I went to the Nursing Department to turn in my acceptance letter and sign up for the CPR class. When I was there they told me there is a limited number of spots so if you are interested sign up asap. It is $45 which is the least expensive I have seen for a BLS CPR class and the money is not due until the day of orientation.

Congrats again!!
