Hey guys, Also got my acceptance email a few weeks ago (the night before my CSUN interview which made me feel so much more confident at that interview, even though I'm pretty set on CSULA now). Can't wait to meet you guys! I

I believe she took it in San Bernadino, I took it at CSULA. I feel like I had plenty of time to finish everything, except the science had me sweating since I marked so many questions to come back to. I think I still finalized my answers with time lef...

definitely practice doing equations by hand - we weren't allowed to use a calculator, but my friend who took the test at a different location was. the problems are mostly really simple like "if a hospital has 3 beds per room and a total of 60 beds, h...

They asked how I plan to deal with the academic and financial intensiveness of the program, what makes me stand out, and if there was any additional info I wanted to share. Then they let me ask some questions. Bada bing, bada boom. :-P

Hi guys, Had my interview today. It was only 10 minutes with three of the faculty. Really laid back. I wasn't able to find out if they're doing any more interviews, but unless they scheduled 50 people today, I imagine there will be more interview day...

Hey Moonshadow, I took the test for my CSULA app. What do you want to know?

Update as of 2 minutes ago: Got a call about an interview for next Thursday 3/11. Looks like we should all be hearing soon. :)

Ditto. According to last year's thread, they heard about interviews Mid-march.

I've been at Cedars for nearly 3 years, but I do intend to quit if I get accepted to school. Given the schedule, I could maybe come in one or two days a week, and I don't think that would be useful for my boss (our jobs are mostly done in the morning...

Small world, joomerz. I do preclinical Alzheimer's research at CSMC. :) We are doing translational research that we hope will eventually help humans, but it's definitely delayed gratification. I want to go into nursing because I want to have an immed...

Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you all know that I met with the program coordinator yesterday and she is super nice and does everything to make you feel comfortable during the interview. It was overall pretty short and as long as you know why you wa...

Hi there, She is the program coordinator so your app must be all good. :) Good luck to you!

Cool! I was actually born here - my parents immigrated from the former USSR with my mom 7 months pregnant with me. I wish I still spoke decent Russian; I'm sure it would be a plus as an RN - but I understand it pretty well. :)

Indeed it is :) It was my nickname growing up.

Rereading the FAQS about the program and it looks like interview invites happen in March, so we've only got a couple more weeks of waiting (hopefully).

Yep - that does make me wonder if anyone was turned off from applying. I also applied to the ABSN program at CSUN and their FAQS state: "47) What is the cost of the program? The cost of the program is roughly $15,000 (excluding housing, books, and s...

*Woops - that should be $32,300.

hey, i was invited to interview at csula, but haven't heard anything from csun since they sent me a checklist with what my application had back in december.

Hi guys, I have my interview scheduled for this Friday, February 26. I was absolutely thrilled to be invited to interview, but I also wonder how many applicants they received. I have a friend who is doing her Masters in biology at CSULA and I believe...

Hi there, I applied to the program - had my application dropped off by a friend back in January. I haven't heard anything back yet either, but a coworker of mine who also applied to the program got an email last week saying her app was complete. I g...

I also applied to the ELMN at CSULA. I know I want to go the BSN/MSN route rather than ASN because I already have a bachelor's, but I haven't really decided between the two yet. On the one hand, I'm pretty sure I want to eventually become an NP whic...

Hi all, I have a B.A. in Psychology from UCLA and I did all my prereqs at LACC. Waiting on pins and needles!
