   TheCommuterx replied to kwand23's topic in School Programs

   Those who have had their status change WILL get the acceptance email. My admission status changed but I didn't receive my acceptance email until 3 days later lol.

2. CSUSM ABSN 2018

   TheCommuterx replied to kwand23's topic in School Programs

   I was accepted for Fall 2017 but chose a different ABSN program. From my experience, CSUSM sends out acceptances in two waves. The second wave occurs when people decline/drop from the program.

3. Dropping undergrad to take CC courses?

   TheCommuterx replied to Aidank90's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I guess it's really dependent on your location now because if you're in California, most CSUs only accept a handful of transfer students for their BSN program and it is EXTREMELY competitive. I mean near perfect 4.0 GPA competitive. Best of luck!

4. Dropping undergrad to take CC courses?

   TheCommuterx replied to Aidank90's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had a friend do this when he was entering his 3rd year at his university. He was majoring in kin, couldn't get into a microbiology class at his uni so he dropped out and he opted for taking it at a community college. It worked out for him in my opi...

5. Worried about not getting into a nursing program

   TheCommuterx replied to 301589's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You have a really good chance at CSUSM's ABSN program if you can score 90%+ on the TEAS exam.

6. Currently ABSN, should I drop out for ADN?

   TheCommuterx replied to TheCommuterx's topic in General Students

   Thank you for sharing your experience. I guess I just needed someone to tell me that things will be okay :)

7. Currently ABSN, should I drop out for ADN?

   TheCommuterx replied to TheCommuterx's topic in General Students

   But what about the opportunity cost? I feel like everyone focuses on the extra $30k but ignore the fact that I'll be done 15 months earlier. I've been told that BSN opens up more opportunities especially in a saturated state such as California. That'...

8. Currently ABSN, should I drop out for ADN?

   TheCommuterx posted a topic in General Students

   This post has nothing to do with my academic competency, but it is a question of whether or not I made the right choice. It's constantly on my mind and I feel like I don't know any person who has a good understanding of this stuff to actually have a ...

9. Wanting to re-take a Prerequisite at a CC??

   TheCommuterx replied to jum00's topic in Pre-Nursing

   In my experience with a SoCal CC, they let you retake whatever you want. I knew of many people who were from UC schools retaking their classes at a community college for a better grade. It happens. The community college doesn't care as long as you ha...

10. Move out and live close to school or live at home and make commute.

    TheCommuterx replied to Teyrae13's topic in General Students

    This is going to be me next semester. Not that extreme but still a 90 minute commute one way three times a week.

11. Rio Hondo Spring 2018

    TheCommuterx replied to jmsolis678's topic in School Programs

    How do you like the program so far? Are there any students that has failed out already? Is the program as difficult as others have said? (are As attainable?)

12. Low on Registration List for Science Prerequisites

    TheCommuterx replied to RaquelNA's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Which community college are you attending/willing to attend to get your science prereqs done?

13. LA County nursing school Spring 2018

    TheCommuterx replied to jburgos's topic in California

    Based on previous LA county threads, it's possible to get accepted +/- 1 point from the cutoff. For example, the cutoff for Fall 2016 was 77 points and someone was accepted with a 76. But it won't deviate much from the point cutoff. LA County will co...

14. Currently ADN, should I have gone for BSN?

    TheCommuterx replied to futurern118's topic in ADN/BSN

    That person is just trying to make you feel inferior which seems like it's working. I'm currently in my first semester at a BSN program and I'm still contemplating the idea of dropping out to attend an ADN program closer to home. To be honest, you at...

15. Resources for writing better?

    TheCommuterx posted a topic in General Students

    Let me begin by stating that English is not my first language. I'm not very articulate with my wording whenever I write essays. I'm about to begin a BSN program, and to be completely honest I'm absolutely worried about the writing assignments. I'm th...
