   Thanks! Maybe a few ELM6ers will come and give your cohort some insight and answer any questions you may

   siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

   @Makasi: I am a current ELM6 cohort member who is still in the program. All ELM6ers graduated with a BSN in December and passed the NCLEX in the winter. All but 3 of us are now in the MSN portion of...

4. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

   siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

   @Makasi: Some students do work part-time during the program. Someone in ELM4 worked full-time (at night) during the program. I would say about a dozen of ELM6ers worked part-time during the BSN...

   We have an ELM6 cohort member that got accepted late June which was after our orientation. There may be others who got accepted in the summer that I do not know of. So there is hope.

   Yes, you will be able to get into the specialty that you want. I do want to mention that there is no Acute Care NP

   siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

   My commute was from Pasadena for the first year. It does take a toll but it's doable. We have cohort members driving from LA, west LA, and south OC. Just not the most ideal situation. Worst...

   Also, do not think that Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are off-limits for clinicals. It's not like the hospitals are closed on those days. So there may be some clinicals that you might have to...

9. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

   siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

   The simple answer is that I like the program enough to still be in it. We were on campus for about 3 days each week during the fall and spring semesters. Clinicals are usually 12 hour shifts twice a...

    Congrats to all who have been accepted to ELM7!! I remember the excitement we had for ELM6 two years ago. Some quick information: I had heard that the program switched to a 4-year program due to...

    Current ELM6 cohort member here. @jsuwan001: I don't believe there will be an interview for ELM prospective students. ELM6 did not have any. @jcsong: It looks like it's just the application to the...

    Yes, you can take patho, pharm, and nutri elsewhere. Those course are considered co-reqs. Good

14. CSUF EL-MSN 2011

    siberiantiger replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    After a lengthy and difficult decision process, I actually chose CSULB over CSUF. I liked CSUF's dedicated staff, well-connected community involvement in the program, and updated facilities. CSUF...

15. CSUF EL-MSN 2011

    siberiantiger replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats hkwak002! The interview process was fairly straight forward. There isn't any real curveball. The panel will ask very generic questions along the lines of: Why CSUF? Why nursing? What kind...
