Unless you carpool, there really is no getting out of the driving to clinical. If you're in the trimester program, you do the majority of your clinical rotations at Long Beach Memorial so that may...
This really depends on where you are in your general education requirements, which you will find out during SOAR. Sorry I can't be of much help here! Most students finish their GE before entering the...
Nope! Just be ready to soak it all in and wear clothes that are easy to take on and off because you'll be trying on your new uniforms to order. Also, there will be raffles and stuff so bring cash if...
I'm in the trimester program, and it is literally taking names out of a hat. So generally yes, most people get their first choice. If 45 people want semester and there are only 30 spots (which is the...
My schedule consisted of one day of patho/pharm lecture, another day of fundamentals lecture, one day of fundamentals clinical, and one day of careplanning (won't happen until week 5 because first few...
Im in the trimester program, which is nice because it's faster but also is more difficult, has a full ICU rotation whereas semester doesn't get a "real" ICU rotation, you get to know Long Beach...
Yes the years with 11s is including the exercise. What do you mean by a capstone course? Also, I have always known I wanted to be an ICU nurse. I'm in my ICU rotation now which only solidified that...
It will be one day but different time slots. Your acceptance email will prompt you to call the school of nursing and select a time slot on that day that best fits your schedule. The time slots are...
Hi everyone! I'm currently a third semester student in the program. Please feel free to ask me any questions you'd like. I will also be at your communication exercise as a resource. To put some...

How is your lifestyle as a CRNA? Do you have a lot of time for family and hobbies? And during your 3-4 days of work are you usually working beyond 12 hours? Also, with taking 100k out for loans, do...
since they are corequisites, they aren't one of those classes that have to be completed during the Spring. Those are only actual prerequisites. You can take patho and pharm over the summer and have...
Hey guys!! For those of you that I didn't see at the interview, here are some preliminary things you should get done or plan to get done before starting in the Fall! -Take the GPE. The earlier you do...
It shouldn't be very sifficult for you guys to find parking. If you are not a current CSULB student, park in the short term parking spaces and pay for two hour parking ($8) those spaces are on the...
Hi!! So you are put into clinical groups and the days and times of your various classes and clinical are scheduled for you, so you cannot pick. Catherine Mullins will ask you guys at your nursing...
I'm sorry this is such a long process, guys. I remember exactly what it felt like to check your email every 30 seconds and still not receive anything. But I suggest that you all take the next few days...
It is possible, and there are people in my cohort that do that. However, I do not recommend it. I worked full time (36-40 hrs/week) while taking all of my prereqs, and did not find that to be...
