Hi! Our first term we had class for a few hours on mondays, tuesdays, and fridays. We had clinical for 12 hours on wednesdays. You will start clinicals around the third week but must first pass a medication math exam in order to pass any medications ...

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...

Hi! I'm a current student. I'm not sure what happened with the prior student. Let me highlight the good and bad that's CURRENT: Good: 1. They REALLY care about getting us our clinical hours. Other schools (according to friends in those prog...

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.

Congrats on getting in! I'm currently a student and yes, Spring and most likely Summer will be online.

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...

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...

did you apply? or are you thinking of applying in the future?

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...

I got in too! So excited to start and meet you guys!

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I will be rescinding my acceptance. I know we never met but I feel like we've all been through something crazy together during this intense ride! Anyways, that should free up a spot for someone. Good lu...

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.

I want to make sure I’m seeing this correctly- we have to get the TB test twice, right?

I wonder what is going to happen with clinicals? Does anyone happen to know about that? A mix of online and in person is awesome since I was assuming we wouldn’t even get a hands on sim lab. But I am worried about not having clinicals and what that w...

This is so upsetting. I know there is so much going on but it’s hard to have some of our hugest life decisions just hanging in the balance with very little communication and such short notice.

Has anyone heard any updates on the format of fall? I’m assuming no one has but it would be nice to know if it will be online or not. If I get into another program, I might end up going there so a spot could end up opening. Hopefully classes will be ...

Yes this is what I saw as well.

I’m so confused as to how a mid to late July notification would even work for a mid August start date. I really hope we learn much before that. This is incredibly stressful.

I emailed asking when we might hear regarding acceptances and if the program is still going to start in fall or if it will be postponed/canceled. I got a response that said that “due to the current pandemic, decision making hasn’t been fully reviewed...

SFSU ABSN is what I’ve heard. Their program is on an indefinite hiatus. Sorry I should’ve explicitly said I’ve heard of one canceled program instead of “a couple.” I'm hoping more dont follow what SFSU is doing.

Is anyone concerned about this program being canceled for the foreseeable future? A couple other programs have canceled. I'm a little worried!

Hi everyone! I’m not sure if any of you check this page but I’d love to hear your input on the program so far! I got into a masters entry program but still leaning towards CSUN if accepted. Would love input on the quality of the program:)

Thank you for your response. This is what I’ve found through researching too! And no, I have no interest in walking away from a program as an NP right now and I’m glad it’s not really much of an option, in my opinion. That would definitely be somethi...
