  1. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    You had higher points than both of us!! You're totally fine! I'm sure it depends who your advisor is :) And I think they enter them manually so you might be at the bottom of the stack!
  2. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    Ahhh!! Just got mine!! Check your portals again everyone!
  3. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    I was told to look on mycsusm in your student center. You should have gotten a submission confirmation email with your login info

    YAY! Congrats girl!! Mine still says incomplete, so now that someone has been admitted I'll be checking even more
  5. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    I know!! If they do it on a Friday they're going to come back Monday to a million voicemails from all of us with questions
  6. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    Lol same here. I may have even checked on Sunday just in case... I'm glad your incomplete was nothing!! It's all waiting from
  7. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    Has anyone else already checked their portals a ridiculous amount of times today?! Lol with our luck she probably was referring to the end of the
  8. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    She told me as long as nothing shows up on your to-do list then you should be all good!! I'm sure it's fine :) and I know me
  9. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    Sorry for the late response!! Yes I am definitely still going to apply to backups, but I won't be applying to every possible nursing program like I would have before. Haha and yes I've heard 45,000 as...
  10. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    Aw man! I stopped getting notifications for this thread!! I had a mini heart attack today. This entire time my portal has said "Spring 18- complete application". My advisor said even though I was...
  11. ADN programs around me offer an extra 10 points for a bachelors! So unfortunately those without a bachelors have a very hard time catching up on those points if they don't have a good amount of...
  12. RN with medical marijuana card

    And, the OP did not mention a job that doesn't test. That would be another story. Her situation is an employer that DOES test, but hoping they can ignore a positive
  13. RN with medical marijuana card

    Hi, I did not mention federal laws regarding drug tests. I'm saying federally, marijuana is still an illegal substance. Thus why workplaces test for it. If the federal law said marijuana is legal, and...
  14. RN with medical marijuana card

    Also, as far as your thinking that you can get on someone's good side to have them look the other way, I would think again. All our tests are sent through a lab who then sends back the results. This...
  15. RN with medical marijuana card

    Hi there, I live in California where both medical and RECREATIONAL use is legal. I work in the employee health office of the hospital, and we do all the drug screens. Unfortunately, our current...
  16. Starting school in late twenties

    In my experience, at least for a second degree nursing program, your "pre-nursing" core are weighted heavier than the other random classes in your undergrad. So really focus on your sciences, and...
  17. Starting school in late twenties

    The most helpful advice I've received on this topic is that the next 3-4 years are going to pass whether you are pursuing nursing, or continuing to do what you are doing now. 4 years from now, you...
  18. Hi there! For those who did the ABSN program through CSUSM, did you do a preceptorship towards the end of your program? If so, did the school set it up, or did you have to find one? The school is so...
  19. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    I personally decided against a traditional BSN, I would just do ADN and a bridge. I would hate to spend the crazy amount of money to be done in around the same time! But definitely know that a BSN is...
  20. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    I know it sounds silly, but this program is my first choice so if they send it out by January I don't really need to apply to other programs! But if they don't by start of February, I'll have to go...
  21. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    I know I agree! Other potential cohorts had way more activity by this time! Haha I'm going to do what others did and try and call my advisor today to see how competitive she feels my application is....
  22. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    My advisor sent mine super quick after I requested a new one, by the end of the work day. She also said we should be hearing responses in the next few weeks, so hopefully that's by the end of January!...
  23. Cal State San Marcos ABSN summer 2018

    Hi there, I just finished my last prereq in Fall 17. As soon as the grade posted, mid December, I sent over my transcripts. I still haven't heard anything about getting my evaluation so I called...
