Malefocker BSN, RN

Hey everyone so I have been waiting for a couple of years to finally have all of the pre-reqs done to be able to apply to nursing school. I am finally finished and am just waiting for CSULB-elmsn's program which will start in Fall 2011. I want to k...

xInspiredx... I realize your post was from 8 months ago... but if you are going to apply for the new cohort I can help you calculate your score

Jazz1986 - Did you eventually get your license? how long did you have to wait? I am unfortunately in a similar situation and it is driving me crazy!

Not about the program... But I did get a letter from the president saying that LB would receive additional funding... Not sure how this affects nursing... I can ask when I'm on campus Tuesday

You can definitely still get in with a C in progress especially if all of your other grades are A's which it sounds like they are. All that really matters is your overall score... I would say as long as you have over a 9.0 then it is worth putting i...

No sorry I haven't heard anything... Don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure that Long Beach won't know anything till after the election because some of the things that are being voted on directly affect whether or not they will receive funding!

I'm currently in the ELM program at CSULB curious to what program you chose?

Hey Everyone... I am currently in the ELM program and want to assist you guys with any questions you might have? Your undergraduate GPA is not part of the 10 point system... however you must have above a 3.0 in your undergraduate degree in order to a...

Cluelessnursing guy... I tried to PM you and answer your questions but your box is full!

I thought about doing the same thing... but you should definitely go straight for your RN if you have the grades and here is why. First off it is about 25k to become an LVN and when you are done it is nearly impossible to find a job especially they ...

And you should take them elsewhere if you can because first semester is hard enough and if you don't have to take these classes you will definitely make it a little easier on yourself.

Realized I didn't answer your question above? Registering for classes is done exactly the same way as you would if you were attending CSULB. However, all of the nursing classes are locked so only nursing students can get into them. So you are gua...

Ours was in June!

You can miss the orientation meeting... it is not that big of a deal.. they will just have someone sit in for you. One of the girls in our class couldn't make it and I sat in for her. Go ahead and make your plans!

That is awesome! I also am starting at CSULB ELM program in the fall I got accepted into a couple different schools and ultimately chose CSULB for the same reasons you did... if you search on FB you can find our group if you are not already a part ...

Just curious which school did you decide on?

Hey jen I also have been admitted for this fall... there are a ton of us on FB if you can find us just type in our graduation code.... Some of the people on there know people in the program so they are a good group to ask... let me know what you find...

The class is set up that you have a quiz online... worth 10 points after each section... There are 10 sections. You can retake the quiz once after you have submitted and you have an hour to take each quiz. Once you take the quiz you can just print ...

To take Pharm/patho at the CC cost around 28$ a unit... so 3 units each class you are looking at around 175$... At CSULB it is 330$ a unit.. so for those classes you are looking at close to 1000$ so by taking them at the CC you are honestly saving ab...

I am not sure why they don't take trig... I took pre-cal and they accepted that. They will take your best grade so I think I read somewhere that you said you got a C in calculus well if you take pre-cal or a different math that they accept they will...

You can take pharm and patho and nutrition at GWC or OCC which I would highly recommend because at the community college they are lot less inexpensive... I am in the entry level masters program and we had orientation yesterday with the basic/trimest...

It was fricken awesome meeting all of you yesterday!!! I can't wait for classes to start! I am going to find the FB page right now!

I really hope it is not imperative that we have all of our immunizations complete because I am definitely missing a few... anyone else in this boat? I am guessing it is ok since we aren't stating school till the end of Aug...

I think the program starts Aug 29th... I am only saying this because I know of two other nursing schools starting on that date but I am not entirely sure.. I guess we will find out during orientation

Congratulations everyone! it is such a great feeling when you finally get that email. I also got accepted but will be declining the offer so I will open up a spot. See you all in the field in the future!
