  1. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

    siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

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

  2. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

    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...

    Congrats ml212! When is

  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...

  5. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

    siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

    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.

  6. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

    siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

    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

  7. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

    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...

  8. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

    siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  10. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

    siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  11. CSULB ELM 2013 Hopefuls!

    siberiantiger replied to danceluver's topic in California Nursing

    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...

    siberiantiger replied to Malefocker's topic in California Nursing

    The stats for 2009 and 2010 are at the following link: http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/chhs/departments/nursing/docs/ELMPoolStats2010.pdf Our 2011 cohort numbers were slightly higher I believe (or at...

    siberiantiger replied to Malefocker's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  16. CSULB-ELMSN Fall 2011

    siberiantiger replied to Malefocker's topic in California Nursing

    Well, perhaps ask in the facebook group page where there are 35 of us on it. From what I heard, the entire graduating class (of about 24) for this past spring got jobs as

  17. CSULB-ELMSN Fall 2011

    siberiantiger replied to Malefocker's topic in California Nursing

    Hi JennNicole! Are you an incoming ELM 6 (aka 1212E) student like most of us in this thread? One avenue you might want to pursue is contacting one of the CNSA officers. We've received an email or...

    siberiantiger replied to Malefocker's topic in California Nursing

    Congrats genzey. Most of our conversation is now on facebook. Find the group CSULB Nursing 1212E and I'll add

  19. CSULB-ELMSN Fall 2011

    siberiantiger replied to Malefocker's topic in California Nursing

    Good seeing you all today. I decided to create our cohort's facebook group page under the name "CSULB Nursing 1212E" after seeing a few other cohorts naming their group pages with their graduation...

  20. CSULB-ELMSN Fall 2011

    siberiantiger replied to Malefocker's topic in California Nursing

    I was going to start a facebook page when I finally commit to the program. I'm officially committed.

  21. CSUF EL-MSN 2011

    siberiantiger replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I sent my acceptance letter today but still on the fence regarding CSULB. Hopefully, I'll be 100% committed to a program this week. Congrats to all those who got in and good luck to those on the...

  22. CSUF EL-MSN 2011

    siberiantiger replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, that's the problem I have, although it's a good problem to have. MSMC still need to go through their phone interviews. I applied to Hawaii-Manoa but got rejected. So I'm left with CSULB and...

  23. CSULB-ELMSN Fall 2011

    siberiantiger replied to Malefocker's topic in California Nursing

    Congrats to all those who got accepted! I, like kendraharlow and ames, am wondering how the facilities are. I was told that the new building houses classrooms and offices. The labs are still in the...

  24. CSUF EL-MSN 2011

    siberiantiger replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm in as well. Congrats to Psych to Nurse. I'm in the same boat as being accepted to CSULB and CSUF. Still waiting on MSMC's acc-BSN. The nice thing about CSUF is that you can practice after two...
