   raethehug replied to mhutchh's topic in School Programs

   I haven't personally talked with everyone in my cohort but it seems like most of us had high undergrad GPAs (above 3.5s) and mostly A's, if not all A's, in prereqs. I don't personally know of anyone who didn't have volunteer and/or work experience be...

4. California State University, Northridge (CSUN) ABSN Spring 2021

   raethehug replied to daanii14's topic in School Programs

   It's very different for everyone. The main thing that's been a huge takeaway is there is no procrastinating whatsoever. You have to stay on top of your work. Every day you will be doing work for at least one class. If you stay on top of your work, do...

   Hi! Yes, current ABSN student. Lecture online, labs every other week in person, yes to clinicals but theres a catch- some of us are at hospitals and others are at flu shot clinics.

7. CSUN ABSN Fall 2020

   raethehug replied to Juj.M's topic in School Programs

   I picked the ABSN over the MSN for quite a few reasons. I can outline them here. I agonized over this decision for months but finally feel content in my choice. School Specific: 1.The MSN I got into messed up and initially rejected me based on a com...

8. CSUN ABSN Fall 2020

   raethehug replied to Juj.M's topic in School Programs

   Sure, I can share! However, I remember reading on an older forum that their cohort was very mixed in terms of grades/experience so I don't think my personal stats should discourage/encourage you to apply. If you like CSUN, go for it! I finished my Ba...

10. CSUN ABSN Fall 2020

    raethehug replied to Juj.M's topic in School Programs

    I know it's not a direct entry FNP, but I did get into WesternU's MSNE as well as here. I agonized over what to choose but I am ultimately going with CSUN. I also know I want to be an FNP but for me, this made more sense. I can see the appeal of a Ma...

    raethehug replied to nursing4545's topic in School Programs

    I also got in! My friend was not accepted so I'm not sure if they are doing a waitlist this year. I have to weigh this program against the other I got into so there might be a spot opening if I decide on the other program. Hopefully they will do a wa...

    I also got in! I have to weigh this program against the other I got into so there is the potential for a spot to open. My friend received a rejection so I'm not sure if they're doing waitlists.
