@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...
@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...

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...
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...
