Yay for you! Hang in there. You have the extra added bonus of life experience to offer your future patients. That shouldn't be minimized. I just passed the NCLEX at the age of 57 and an accelerated BSN program in August. I am so excited to begin my c...

"You really put body and soul into suctioning, don't you!"

uh-oh .... I think we have been consumed by the busy-work monster .... run here ... run there ... do this ... do that holy moley!

I remember very vividly during the information session it being said about epidemiology that we would be well advised to take it ahead of time if possible; in fact, I planned to take it before I was placed into the summer cohort. Have you tried to en...

Go look in your CSUN email account. Mine is there!

Thank you for letting us know, mrmandap! I haven't received mine yet, so I just may give the assistant a little ol' call in the AM.

I don't know about the basic life support class; I'm taking one tonight with another provider. I just received an email from the assistant regarding summer cohort class registration: she says that we will be getting a separate email containing permis...

I received an email from the department assistant, telling us to get an American Heart Association Basic Life Support healthcare provider card, and that there will be one given the day before orientation. If you want to sign up for it, you should sig...

perseveRaNce23, that's excellent info. Thanks for the correction and clarification! It's certainly not going to be easy for many of us financially. It's a very good thing that we got into this program rather than a private university which would have...

Hi applicant 2011, My daughter has a great deal of experience with financial aid and students loans, having just graduated with her master's in math from CSUN. She says that in order to apply for financial aid, you will need to fill out a FAFSA form;...

I have a sneaking suspicion that we will need an up-to-date CPR card, immunization record, TB test, and background check. But I'm also going to wait for the official instructions so that I do everything just the way it's requested. I wish we had acce...

Thanks mint4321, that's good to know! Which cohort are you in?

Well, fall will be great too. Hopefully you will be able to relax over the summer and put away some sleep time into your sleep bank! I am very excited for both of us!

Thank you for letting me know, Mrmandap! That's what I was told also. I'm just a bit on the lookout because I never received my letter of intent until I finally called the nursing office to alert them, and just in the nick of time too. I'd really app...

Wrightnurs*** or Mrmandap, have you received the information packet from the nursing program as of yet? Please let me know ... I haven't received it. Thanks!

Amerae, My understanding is that there are openings available for experienced RNs, but that new grads are having trouble getting their first jobs. This is in the face of a great need for better nurse to patient ratios, but our health care system need...

Hi Amerae, I have a B.A. in psychology with a 3.86 overall GPA. Science GPA - 4.00 I'm an LVN with med-surg, maternity and labor and delivery experience, and also had my own medical transcribing business in the past. During my undergrad years at CSU...

Wrightnurse, when I received my congratulations call, I was informed that a large packet of information would be forthcoming in the mail sometime this week. I imagine there will be a form in there that we will send back signifying our formal acceptan...

thank you wrightnurse for your words of wisdom. i also had a most positive and accepting interview experience with three faculty members and am looking forward to being in their classes. i have been taking classes for many of my adult years (too many...

Hi applicant2011, I really did set it up, but am also clueless as how to find it. It doesn't seem to show up when I search for it. Does anyone have any experience with doing this? Please private message me, if you do. ALSO, I just came home from CSUN...

Hi Everyone, I did my best to set up a Facebook page for the group: Csun bsn 2011 I haven't set up a community page before, so I hope it works alright!

Holy Moly, weezy dear, you just shot me right into diabetic coma ... but what a great way to go:eek:. I hope you don't mind if I have another slice of that chocolate cake? Please hit me one more time with the lente insulin (just kidding now!)

You totally crack me up, LPNwheezy!!! LOLOLOL!!! This really takes me back to my childhood and Mary Poppins singing to the kiddos!:WHCk:Besides, I LOVE sugar!! Will WORK for sugar!!:redbeatheParticularly if it's in a piece of CAKE!

wrightnurse, i found this at the csun website: "csun matriculated students (those formally admitted and enrolled in a csun degree, credit certificate, or credential program) will be able to make appointments to register for summer courses (all sess...
