  1. BA AND ADN, MSN IN THE FUTURE

    justwanttohelp12 replied to Ej2020's topic in Nursing Career

    Everyone I know that met the minimum who applied to CSULA's CEP was accepted. This was from 3 of the 10+ programs that are partnered with CSULA. I was one of them, but I turned it down because simply...

  2. BA AND ADN, MSN IN THE FUTURE

    justwanttohelp12 replied to Ej2020's topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe I can offer some advice as I was in a similar position (UC grad wanting to switch to nursing who considered ADN vs ABSN vs MEPN and currently reside and attend nursing school in LA). 1. Get...

  3. CSU LB Vs. SDSU Nursing program

    justwanttohelp12 replied to soaptastesok's topic in School, College Programs

    Here's how I would consider which school to attend: 1. Ask yourself, where would you like to work after graduation? Is it in San Diego or Long Beach? You'll most likely network with the staff in your...

  4. Has anyone taken microbiology and physiology in the same semester?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to sofiwes49's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It totally depends on your time management skills. I took physiology and microbiology together along with two other GE classes. I held the highest grade in my microbio class and I was somewhere in the...

  5. U of A to Cal State

    justwanttohelp12 replied to Napster's topic in School, College Programs

    I think your son is better off staying in California and doing his "prenursing" courses at a community college. No need to spend $1k per course at UoA when that's the tuition for a whole academic year...

  6. How is it like to be an ADN then going to BSN?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to RockyRamona's topic in General Students

    The only difference in terms of courses required for ADN vs BSN programs around L.A. county is literally 1 or 2 courses extra. Most CSUs want the 2nd semester of the combination chemistry and...

  7. School advice

    justwanttohelp12 replied to Anthonyrl408's topic in California Nursing

    Take your prereqs at a community college if possible. I was able to take 7am classes while working in a full time 2nd shift position. I'll assume you have a regular 9-5 job. You can definitely take...

    Does anyone know if Rio hondo utilizes ATI in their

  9. ADN, BSN, ABSN, or MEPN?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to Pomfrey1227's topic in School, College Programs

    This advice might not help, but I would say go with the most comfortable option. Also, consider your networking opportunities when choosing a school. If you can attend a BSN program for cheap then you...

  10. Is switching from a Biology degree to BSN while in undergrad worth it?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to iopmoris's topic in Nursing Career

    This post is absolutely all the info OP needs. There is no point in spending more money on a degree you wouldn't utilize. Most ABSN programs cost upwards of $50k so yeah I would definitely go for the...

  11. RN or A-BSN Program?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to amberscareer's topic in General Students

    I have some free time so I'll answer your questions to the best of my ability. I'm a current nursing student in California who turned down an ABSN program in favor of an ADN program. I had a BS in...

  12. How long is your commute to school?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to TheCommuterx's topic in General Students

    For those that have short commutes, how many of you are actually located in big metro cities like Los Angeles? Because I feel like that is the trend here. Bigger cities = more traffic = longer...

  13. ABSN or ADN?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to Lsjohnson29's topic in California Nursing

    It's your own personal choice. It depends on how you value your time vs money. If you can get into a low-cost ABSN program like CSULA's (estimated at $33k total cost) then it's a no brainer to go the...

  14. Nursing or USC?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to petersalazar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I grew up in Los Angeles. I personally know a handful of individuals who regret attending USC/UCLA/Cal for it's "prestige," especially when their main goal was to get a nursing degree anyways. Even if...

    justwanttohelp12 replied to cjprenurse's topic in California Nursing

  16. Accelerated BSN programs in California?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to siesepuede's topic in California Nursing

    CSULB and UCI doesn't have an ABSN program. CSULB is traditional only and UCI has a new direct entry MSN program. Your list is missing Samuel Merritt's ABSN

    justwanttohelp12 replied to LuckyMoon's topic in School, College Programs

    No, I don't think so. I never received any emails and still no letter from them. I don't think I had that great of a chance anyways. I had 3.0 cumulative GPA with no volunteer/medical experience. I...

  18. ACCELERATED BSN - most affordable program?

    justwanttohelp12 replied to EKakudo's topic in School, College Programs

    -CSULA & CSUF = most affordable 15 month ABSN program (extremely competitive application pool) -CSUSM = 24 month ABSN program for $55k (easiest to get into IMO) -Concordia = 15 month ABSN program...

  20. Adn or bsn ? Need help choosing!!

    justwanttohelp12 replied to RN_OneDay's topic in California Nursing

    The short answer is get your BSN from the beginning if you can. I think you should worry about that later. You're an incoming freshman, you need to do well in all core classes first before considering...

    You might be an alternate. Henny probably has the accepted/alternates grouped up in an email. I know it's best to stay positive, but I already accepted the idea that I didn't get
