Hello! The very first semester is easy and are basically prerequisites for the nursing program. The next semester you begin with Fundamentals of Nursing and Health Assessment and Nursing Research. When I attend we were in the midst of COVID, so there was 1 clinical/lab day in person two full days on zoom. Now that we are back in person. You will definitely have a one day in clinicals-probably at a skilled nursing facility, one day on campus for health assessment lab and one day on campus for class. You will be very busy, expect these days to be filled. I have several friends that have worked full-time throughout the program. It’s not too bad the first two semesters. The Summer semester will be very difficult to work, I imagine you can only manage two 12 hour days. My last Summer had three days of clinicals in the hospital and a 12 hour zoom day on Friday. If you are able to take a semester off of work Summer would be the one.

Hello. I am in Cohort 37 and President of the Student Nurse Association. I’ve enjoyed the program very much, the pace requires dedication especially during semester 2-4. It’s easy to work during semester 1. After that I quit working. I do know students that work, but they get less sleep. Summer terms are a bit intense. Last Summer I took 14 units in 10 weeks. 3 days were in clinical with a 12 hour zoom day on Friday. This program has a very high NCLEX pass rate. Know this program is not easy, content is heavy, as it should be for any nursing program and the classes build on each other. Most of the Professors are really good- of course there’s been a couple outliers. Be aware there are around 800 nursing students at any given time, so information, class location and clinical placements are often presented last minute. Driving 1.5 hours to clinical is not uncommon. I typically get up around 4 am. FYI I heard National had issues with clinical placements last year. I haven’t heard any about them recently, so definitely talk to some students there. I hope this information helps!

Yes of course. Message me at [email protected]

Hello all, just wanted to let you know I was accepted into the Grossmont 2021 Spring Cohort. I am declining the offer because I am already in the ASBN program at CSUSM. I have already replied. I hope one of you gets my spot. Good luck!

I received the email as well

I was accepted to Palomar. I refused acceptance because I already accepted an offer to CSUSM Nursing. I let them know right away. I hope that one of you gets that spot! Good luck ???

Hello and Welcome! I take it that you are in Cohort 37? There is an online orientation that you need to complete on your own. You must set up access to your CSUSM email and Cougar Courses to access the orientation. There is a mandatory online orientation via zoom on August 28. Do hurry and become Compolio Compliant as soon as possible. Some of the steps take time. There is a facebook page for set up for our cohort titled “CSUSM ABSN Cohort 37”

I am a SD native. You have good taste. Carlsbad is my most favorite area I have ever lived. Encinitas is awesome too. Both are great beach towns. They both come with a price. Oceanside is a bit less expensive than Carlsbad and only a few miles away if you stay West of the 5 freeway. Feel free to private message me if you want info on the neighborhoods in SD and SD county. I have lived all over San Diego ?

I would love this information too

I was admitted to Fall 2020 on May 20'th. I live at the base of Alpine approximately an hour from campus. Since Fall is supposed to be online I am not worried about the drive. I also have family all over San Diego and can crash at their houses if I am particularly exhausted.

I think it’s a typo. I paid $150 for Fall 2020

I applied to several programs including Grossmont. When emailed I intend to withdraw my application as I was accepted to CSUSM.

Received my acceptance letter on May 5. Score 37

This would be a question for the office. And you would still have to do 2 years at CSUSM.
