As a pre nursing student at CSULA, I started volunteering when I was in high school, and luckily I was able to submit those hours as they met the cutoff. I believe there were instructions that stated you could only submit hours that date back to 1-2 years ago. If you start accumulating hours now and apply for the program in the fall they should count. As for any previous interviews before volunteering, I remember having to do a phone call interview when I volunteered at Kaiser, after I submitted my application. However, this was just my experience at one hospital, so I'm sure you'll have to look into the requirements and application process at your respective hospital. Most people I know got their volunteer hours at local hospital, but I think volunteering at clinic or something similar should be fine, as long as it involves some sort of patient care (giving water, blankets or feeding, etc) and a person to write a letter confirming your hours and services.

Hi there ! I'm a first year student and I was offered admission into the program. Yes you're correct, they did change the pre-nursing major from 2 years to 1. This means that you will be taking all of your pre-reqs in 2 semesters, as opposed to 4. In addition, you will also take the TEAS and apply to the nursing program in the fall as well.

I'm a prenursing student at CSULA. I'm actually a first year student. This year the nursing major rewrote the course roadmap to allow first year students to apply. So, I wonder if that shifted the number of applications they received this year.

I had a 4.0 GPA (cum and pre-req), with an 84.7 TEAS with 200+ volunteer hours. I was very shocked that I got in, I was super skeptical about my stats.

HI everyone ! Current Pre-Nursing student here ! I got the email 10 - 15 minutes ago. So happy to meet everyone!
