  2. Advice on CSULB Nursing Program vs. Sac State Nursing Program

    CA_BSN_Student replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in the 2 year/trimester program at CSULB. I glanced at Sac State's curriculum and it seems that classes are about the same, except I think pharm (can be taken during 1st semester) & patho have...

  3. CSULB spring 2012 basic vs trimester program help

    CA_BSN_Student replied to Amh02's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in CSULB's trimester program and what you've heard is partially true. You get 1 week off before & after summer semester so that's probably the 2 week break you've heard. You do get 5 - 6 weeks...

  4. CSULB how do you do well 1st semester

    CA_BSN_Student replied to paljm's topic in California Nursing

    Believe it or not, you appear to be on the right track. Sounds like you're studying very diligently, using various resources, and don't have to worry about studying for pharm & patho. You got a B...

  5. CSULB Nursing and visible tattoos?

    CA_BSN_Student replied to cmd4's topic in California Nursing

    It's probably not a big deal for trimester students. A few of my classmates have tattoos on their forearm and they wear long sleeve white shirt under their scrub top. Instructors have asked but none...

  6. CSULB Spring 2012 BSN

    CA_BSN_Student replied to KhoMuc's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know for sure but I believe acceptance is mostly based on "whoever has the highest score". It seems like interview plays a small role. Some of us checked during second semester, which was this...

  7. CSULB Spring 2012 BSN

    CA_BSN_Student replied to KhoMuc's topic in California Nursing

    I've completed 3 semesters so far and my lecture instructors have all been top notch. They each have decades of experiences and I can feel their passion while teaching. Since we're broken up into 2...

  8. CSULB Spring 2012 BSN

    CA_BSN_Student replied to KhoMuc's topic in California Nursing

    Just to clarify, you don't actually attend classes with 89 other classmates at CSULB. They'll typically break up lectures into 2 sections, so it'll be about 40+ students per class during the first...

  9. can someone pls explain to me?

    CA_BSN_Student replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

    I agree with chulada77. NS is the first line of defense and sometimes LR (lactated ringer) is used for volume replacement. I believe they are most compatible to our intravascular fluids and can be...

  10. CSULB Transfer applicants Spring 2012

    CA_BSN_Student replied to ting3177's topic in California Nursing

    You should include the university ID # on your nursing application, but I don't think it'll hurt if you do not provide it. Based on my experience, nursing dept. and university are 2 separate entities....

  11. ADN or BSN? Which Nursing school is better in CA?

    CA_BSN_Student replied to bebekyc's topic in California Nursing

    1) I don't think there is an absolute answer to the question, ADN or BSN...which is better? A lot of it is based on your situation (time, money, location, acceptance, preference, opinion...etc). With...

  12. Should I go for UCLA or stick to my local Cal State U?

    CA_BSN_Student replied to M.Nurse's topic in California Nursing

    I can relate to your situation. While applying to nursing schools, I looked into UCLA, and UC Irvine. I attended a local community college and had pretty descent grades. I've always wanted to attend a...

  13. Pre Nursing Student Needs Advice and Encouragement!

    CA_BSN_Student replied to devyn renee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CA_BSN_Student replied to devyn renee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CA_BSN_Student replied to CalStatePreNursing's topic in California Nursing

    CA_BSN_Student replied to Ankha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
