Clinicals will start at the beginning of the semester. You will have a couple of weeks of orientation and SIM lab before you are in the hospital. The choice between semester and trimester is up to...
The clinical schedule varies widely between semesters, but can be any day of the week (with the exception of Sunday, as far as I know; though you will need to go to the hospital to pre-plan on Sunday...
Hi everyone, I am a current student and maybe I can shed a tiny bit of light on what to expect from the nursing program given everything going on with COVID-19. The university has already announced...
Hi all, I’m in the nursing program at CSULB in the cohort above you so I’m going to try and answer some questions! Background check: yes, you will need to purchase a background check. They may...
I know we're all anxiously waiting to hear back from them, but keep in mind it hasn't even been 8 weeks yet, so they are not behind schedule. Last semester I believe we heard back right at the 8 week...
Yeah, I'm strongly leaning towards trimester for the same reason. At my communication exercise, it was mentioned that they may not have a trimester cohort this year, but I really hope that that is...
I don't think anybody received an email about how many points they had; if you're not sure how many points you had you can calculate them yourself. It tells you how to do so at the bottom of the SON's...
That's essentially how it works, yes. I was told by a counselor that they also favor students who have completed the general education courses. But honestly, a big part of it is just luck. You might...
If I remember correctly from the information session, LBCC takes 50% of its students from applicants with a GPA from 3.5 to 4.0, so these students have the highest chance of being admitted. Don't be...
To all the second degree seekers in the thread: I know a couple people who applied to CSULB as second degree seekers in other programs, and they are still waiting on a response as well. I think the...
When I handed in my application, I was told it would be 8-10 weeks before we heard back. I also applied for the spring semester, and we received a response around the 8 week mark then too. I would...
Don't quote me on this, but I think you're on the admission waitlist BECAUSE you're an alternate for the School of Nursing. I would call the SON and see what number you are on the alternate list! At...
If you want to go ahead and pay the deposit, there is a link at the bottom of myCSULB (under the Admissions heading) that says "Accept/Decline". If you choose accept, it will prompt you to pay a...
The SON’s website says that if you are not offered admission to the SON, you will not be offered admission to the university. Unless something has changed, my understanding of this is that CSULB...
Not yet—I’m not sure if/when we should be expecting to hear from the SON, or if we’ll just be getting emails directly from the university, but I get what you’re saying! MyCSULB has a “to...
I’m still waiting for an email too. However, I was able to activate MyCSULB and there is an option to accept (or decline) your offer of admission and pay the deposit. I think if the self-service...
