Im thinking about joinging CSU Fullerton's RN to BSN this Summer via the jump start option. It is less units than a lot of programs but the classes are long. It will take my entire Summer. there are 5 week classes like with grand canyon univ, univ of pheonix etc and im sure wgu or capella is good too im a little concerned that CSUF's RN to BSN will be hard. Please don't judge lmao. I am so tired from nursing school! Does anyone know if cal states are harder and more work than other online RN to bsns?? im trying to pick the best value that is also easy comparable to the others. With csuf it will essentially be free due to financial aid that I may not get as much of with these other online options. Can anyone weigh in on my thoughts?

Mine are processed, but I don't think that will stop your application from being processed. I got an email saying if they are missing documents then they would reach out. As long as you got everything in by the due date I wouldn't worry. They have a lot of applications to consider. The wait is brutal isn't it!

I got a TBSN update from the school that my application was forwarded to the school of nursing for further consideration and they will be sending decisions by April 11th. Anyone else get this or not get this?

3.2 overall GPA because apparently they count by business classes from years ago. 3.6 science 91.3% TEAS volunteer experience My school gets extra points I have no idea if ill get in but I doubt it with my GPA. goood luck!

Hi! I need an outlet to be very honest about my thoughts and hoping for feedback. I am taking Anatomy101, the first pre-req. I've taken all general education already for the BSN. I'm having doubts of about my ability to be a nurse and am thinking of backing out and switching to another major that will pay well with a similar time frame or less for education. When I volunteer in Telemetry, the nurses are always complaining. I'm definitely listening. I fear I'm also not smart enough to have this responsibility although I may be over thinking it. I want to work in L&D, Postpartum, lactation or something related to that. I don't think I like the idea of working with old people. I have epilepsy, and though it's controlled and my seizures if they do happen are very predictable (upon waking up). But even just having epilepsy i fear that i won't even be allowed around babies. Does anyone know if they allow this? Also,I am 30, I just found out i am pregnant with my third child (5 if you count my step kids), so honestly 3 years of nursing school after pre-reqs feels like a long ways away. I've been thinking about other options.... Ultrasound, OB tech, or some kind of tech, maybe where I don't have as much responsibility and less schooling. I'm just doubting my abilities and want to know what the best back up plan is. Any thoughts? What is the best back up plan for those who think they aren't cut out for nursing?

Hello! I feel this way sometimes. I get cold feet and start doubting if I can do it. I suggest you take a semester off and volunteer at a couple of hospitals. See if it’s for you! Not only would that help you get in your school of choice, but you may re-gain motivation.

Hey ? I have to take 3 semesters of Spanish, Anatomy/Physio 1 and 2, general chem and micro biology and then I will be applying to bsn nursing programs. OPTION 1: Summer: Spanish 101 Fall: A&P and Spanish 102 Spring: A&P and Spanish 103 Summer: Chem Fall: Microbiology OPTION 2: Summer: a&P Fall: A&P 2 and Spanish101 Spring: Chem and Spanish102 Summer: Spanish 103 Fall: Microbiology Any other suggestions? Any input appreciated!

Yeah I’m wondering if I took it just because of a possibility I may not get into my first choice. I guess it is a good class to take anyway.

Wow, I went and saw a counselor and turns out I didn’t need to take Human Development/Lifespan PYSC. It’s so frustrating, because I’ve taken maybe 5 more classes than needed through my college career and now I’m not even sure why I took Dev PSYC. What compelled me to do that! Ugh. Anyone else? I feel like college counselors tell me the wrong things.

Oh that's good to know. Ill just take it then and deal with it! Ty!

Gotcha. Just trying to get an idea of the best way to go about all this. Well, im sure if i take all of the classes for every program i am sure it will benefit me as a nurse

Well, I have psychology of gender and my 101. I wonder if that can be considered in place of development psychology. Hm.. so i should complete all for my school of choice, apply, and take the extra classes i need the following semester assuming i dont get accepted and then apply for the other schools?

Hey all... i'm confused. I want to apply to csusm and sdsu from msjc in california, however both schools and maybe others have different prereqs. Sdsu requires development psychology (so two PSYC courses. Csusm does not require 2 psyc's but there seem to be different requirements. So am i supposed to complete all prereqs for all schools that i intend to apply for? i dont really understand if you guys have advice?

I thought id update my post. Good news! I filed an appeal. I had to get an educational plan, and I submitted that with my appeal. So basically they approved me for all of the classes that will apply to an adn. So im taking more classes like chem and statistics so they won't provide aid for those credits. Oh well. I received a $190 deposit for 3 credits (6 credits arent eligible) and i should get 2 more this semester.

I actually did get the california promise grant! And I'm so very thankful. We have 4 kids between us both. So we have quite some expenses. Im glad i wont have problems at the bachelors level. Hopefully by the we'll be making more too.
