  1. CSULA ELMN 2011

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Here is a breakdown of the classes we took this year in cohort 7 by quarter. The next cohort will take the same classes but probably in a different sequence. The schedule is determined each quarter...

    What is this "studying" you speak

  4. CSULA ELMN 2011

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The short answer is plan on 2 days a week in class and probably 1-2 days a week in clinical. The long answer is the schedule changes every quarter so it is impossible to say what yours will be. The...

    I am part of the current ELMN cohort at CSULA. Feel free to ask me whatever you want, I am happy to give you

  6. CSULA ELMN 2011

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I will be on campus this summer, my cohort will have our classes on Mondays I believe. It will be my last quarter of ELMN so I will be spending most of my time in a hospital doing a preceptorship and...

  7. CSULA ELMN 2011

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do you really want to spend 100k+ to go to school in a converted strip mall in Pomona? Sorry, Western U called me in for an interview and then rejected me so I am bitter. Western does have some...

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, you have to write another essay when you apply to your preferred track halfway through the first year. Acceptance into the ELMN program does not assure you a spot in the track you want. Like...

  9. CSULA ELMN 2011

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would not make up your mind on the track just yet. You won't even apply to a track/to the masters program until the 3rd quarter of the first year. You will be having a lot of clinical experiences...

    Also, which acceptance is more heavily considered? So if Ms. Hinoki lets us in and the University doesn't, what does that mean? I hope that doesn't happen to anyone. If Kathy admits you to the ELMN...

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    During the first 5 quarters, aka the RN portion, you take all of your classes exclusively with your ELMN cohorts so the class size is dictated by how many people Kathy admits. For us it's 22. You...

    You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Besides, posting on here is a wonderful distraction from studying for my psych nursing final next

  13. CSULA ELMN 2011

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The one person I have spoken to from cohort 6 about it has chosen to take a year off from the ELMN program. There were a lot of conflict between the requirements of the new grad program at her...

  14. CSULA ELMN 2011

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Speaking as a member of the current ELMN cohort it's not mandatory you work as an RN once you get to the MSN portion, they just want you to. The problem is the job market. It's as bad for nurses as...

  15. CSULA ELMN 2011

    bababowman replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm also in ELMN cohort 7. I agree with what Innatchka says, that's been my strategy for getting through this first year of school and it has served me well. If you didn't get an interview, don't...
