Hey all, just wondering who else plans on applying to this upcoming cycle since the deadline is coming up. I actually applied to the spring term, interviewed, but did not get accepted. Hopefully it works out this time :)

Hey all, did anybody go to the info session today or is planning to apply to this cycle? It seemed like a very quality program with plenty of resources, a quality simulation lab, and their NCLEX pass rate is awesome. I also really liked how intensiv...

Hey all, just wondering who is applying to the Spring cohort at CSUSM. I actually applied to Fall and was accepted but had to defer to get better situated for the move. It worked out too because this is the cohort that is at the main campus, which I ...

hey, i tried to pm you my email before but maybe it didn't go through. found the group though! And yea I'm not sure about to do lists with the background checks or drug tests etc. I just paid my intent to enroll and have been emailing financial aid ...

@futurerninthemakin I know they have some campus housing but I think mostly undergrad students fill those up. I am moving from the LA area so going to look at all options like Craigslist etc. It seems pretty easy. We could also start a facebook group...

mine also changed to admitted! congrats everyone!!

@kalduenda hey, yea this all can be pretty nerve wrecking. So I applied for fall originally and was accepted but deferred to spring for a couple reasons. With fall acceptances the student center changed first then the day after I got the email. It so...

hopefully they get the evaluations out next week and acceptances shortly after :)

Hey everyone! I applied to this upcoming cycle about a month ago but I know the deadline just passed. who else applied? I believe we should hear back sometime in late March with official evaluations etc. I signed up for the info session next month as...

@SD123CA It all depends on the applicant pool, but in the info session she made it sound like they only expect it to get more competitive for spring. The evaluation sheets should be out by the end of August, hopefully!

@eastlakenurse Congrats on the TEAS! I think as long as you have the right courses completed during undergrad, you will be good. It looks like they only absolutely need those AP scores if there isn't sufficient undergrad courses to meet the requireme...

@IE_Tacoma94 Nice! It took them a solid 4 weeks for me to get my evaluation, after the window closed! I had submitted my application like a month prior to the deadline as well. So unless you get lucky, expect to wait! And I have already been to an in...

@mleiaa I think it all depends person to person, but unless you're a really good test taker or are still in class mode/just finishing up, I would spend a couple months preparing. Personally, my undergrad gpa is what was holding me back with a lot of ...

@j24og You have to keep in mind that this is nursing, not medical school. If it was medical school then yea, being at the best hospitals, specifically those that are teaching institutions would be most important. For nursing, it just matters that you...

Yea I hear ya with starting as early as possible but I'm happy with how its all working out. Are you already local to the area? I'm excited to be able to explore San Diego a lot more now. Have a couple friends from high school and undergrad out there...

@jchin1121 hey, are you planning to stay in socal? I am in a similar situation, I was an '09 grad from U of Illinois and studied Econ with a poor GPA, about a 2.7. I moved to LA after deciding to make a career change at 27 and figured why not use it ...

Hi, is this meant to be for the ABSN program? Because it technically starts in the summer. I applied for the 2018 cycle but did not get in and am going to reapply. I realized how competitive it is during the application process and that I probably n...

I am ruling out APU and Western now since I decided the route I want to take is best suited with becoming an adult-gerontology acute care NP, which neither of them offer. So I will reapply to UCLA, CSULA, and UC Irvine; then CSU San Marcos will be th...

Well in an interesting turn of events it looks like I won't be reapplying to Azusa. I've realized during this cardiac rotation that I want to eventually be an NP in cardiology, and even though it's possible as a FNP or gerontology primary care NP, it...

Cool, we'll have similar hours this for this cycle. Unless you have a 3.7+ undergrad gpa, you need to be around that much experience or more; so you should be good (for Azusa at least). With regards to your background, I don't think that will matter...

When I applied I had approximately 186 hours; 170 were in the ED and 16 were in the cardiac ICU as i had just started a rotation there. When I applied to UCLA I had around 120 I believe of just ED experience. I realized during the application process...

Don't worry about your undergrad GPA, at least with Azusa. They really do look at the whole application, and care more about science GPA than undergrad. I was surprised I got a interview bc my undergrad GPA had clearly been handicapping me with other...

Hey! I may reapply, I applied for 2018 but wasn't accepted. I think I needed to start all my volunteering about a year earlier to give myself a shot. I have been accepted into Cal state san marcos and interviewed at Azusa for spring but was not accep...

awesome! are you applying for the SD campus then? You have great stats and experience, I think you'll be fine!! I've been active in the other forum for spring term and I'd say you are a very strong candidate based off those who got accepeted etc. I h...

It isn't timed actually, you just have to complete it before your scheduled interview time. So if you need more time, just get there earlier. And yea, I have to finish research methods which I'm taking at SMC this fall. What are your stats/experience...
