I think it can be manageable. I won’t lie, it’s pretty bad but not that bad if you get what I’m saying. It’s definitely much harder than first semester by a long shot. I personally took pharm already so I’m not taking pharm w medsurg and health assess. However, I’ve heard that pharm is very difficult alongside balancing it with medsurg. Health assess is very very doable.

Hello second sem here! For us, we were either placed in St Joseph’s or the VA. However, it might be possible that HOAG (along with St. Joe’s and VA) might open up to you guys for next sem; we weren’t able to get HOAG d/t COVID.

No problem! If it makes you feel better, we received our letters a month after the interviews.

Hello! I’m a first semester student and we are currently doing clinicals! However, we only have three days of clinicals this entire semester at the VA. They’ve limited how many students can be on the floors so we have to rotate with the other sections. We’re making up the lost time by increasing how many hours we’re at the hospital so 6:30-5:30pm. On the other days, we just do labs. It’s not too bad, but everyday is something new. So be prepared to being extremely flexible with your schedule and being in the dark alongside your instructors.

CONGRATS to everyone!! I personally responded to the email directly since I believe that’s what the email told us to do.

I’ve been living off campus!! I would definitely suggest looking for apartments near the Traffic Circle. If you would like to be near the school shuttle, there’s Park Ave and Beverly Plaza apartments which are closest to the shuttle stop.

I checked the self service app and it’s only showing my application for Fall 2018 status. I believe that CSULB students will know whether they got in through email instead of the self service app.
