  1. CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

    cali_nature_girl replied to Spiffyness's topic in California Nursing

    You graduate from the trimester program in 2 years because you go to school during fall, spring, AND summer! Crazy, right?! The basic program takes three years because you have summers off....

  2. CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

    cali_nature_girl replied to Spiffyness's topic in California Nursing

    I think the trimester program is probably easier for people who have experience with the quarter system or have at least taken summer courses. If you plan on doing trimester, ten definitely get as...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    Alyssa, It does stink to have an inflexible nannying job but at the same time I LOVE it! I get to care for a super cute little 9 month old girl and watch her grow, and her parents are really...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    It’s nice to meet you too Alyssa! I am currently working full-time as a nanny so I basically don’t have any flexibility haha. However, it has been paying well for this past year and allowed me to...

    Thank you so much! I am sure you will do great too! We better all meet at orientation!! CSULB SON, please oh please, don't turn away anyone who clearly deserves to go to your

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    Phoenix, Yes, you may call me Mari haha :) I appreciate the advice. I have considered working, but I really don't think I can find a job that will be flexible enough for nursing school yet pay enough...

    cali_nature_girl replied to Spiffyness's topic in California Nursing

    Yasuko, I can't believe we live so close to each other! We may just get to carpool together if we both get in :) Are you planning on doing the basic or trimester program? I am hoping to get into the...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    I think they probably won't tell us who the alternates are at the interview because that would sort of defeat the purpose of making us wait to find out if we got accepted since its pretty obvious that...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    I would call ---- and ask her about it before you sign up for a class you may not even need. I am pretty sure an intro to nutrition class is equivalent to Nutr 339. If anything the intro to nutrition...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    Phoenix,Have you taken nutrition yet? If not definitely take nutrition! It's such an easy class. I believe I saw a post on the CSULB Fall 2012 thread about someone taking pharmacology online, though I...

  11. CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

    cali_nature_girl replied to Spiffyness's topic in California Nursing

    Yasuko,I am aiming to get to CSULB around 8:30 am so if you want to get there early we can talk for a bit in front of room 26 (that's where my interview is and I am guessing yours is as well) before...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    Spiffyness, its never too late to start taking care of yourself :) maybe some of the nursing students can go on fast-paced walks on our breaks from classes to blow of some steam and take care of...

  13. CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

    cali_nature_girl replied to Spiffyness's topic in California Nursing

    Jessica! My name is actually Marina. I am totally excited to meet you at the 9am interview :) are you planning on continuing to live in Irvine if you go to CSULB? Also, like Phoenix said, the...

  14. CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

    cali_nature_girl replied to Spiffyness's topic in California Nursing

    You'll be commuting from Pasadena...ouch! I am coming from Irvine so you definitely have the right to complain! Perhaps you should move closer if it fits with your budget?And one of us interviewees...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, the $12k is including the extra year of rent, groceries, car insurance, etc. Don't get me started on boring, haha! I have been taking classes every summer too and I barely ever "go out" unless...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks so much! Oh and as far as trimester or basic program, I think I am leaning towards the trimester program just because I really want to keep my like expenses down since my only means of paying...

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    Spiffyness, totally random, but how did you change your profile name from ST1004? I have been trying to figure out how to change mine for a while now

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    I am leaning towards CSULB too! I am beginning to enjoy living in the OC more and I think I may end up being here for the next few years so it will be worth the extra money. I was also thinking that...

  19. CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

    cali_nature_girl replied to Spiffyness's topic in California Nursing

    I think CSULB might also have a carpool program too for all of us commuters. Though, it would be cool to start a new thread or facebook page once official admission emails are sent out so the fall...

  20. CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

    cali_nature_girl replied to Spiffyness's topic in California Nursing

    I know it's been a tough couple days but everything is pretty much out of our hands so we should just try to stay calm for the interview and do our best! We won't really know for sure until the end of...

  22. CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

    cali_nature_girl replied to Spiffyness's topic in California Nursing

    I got an interview! Here are my stats: Science Prerequisite GPA: 4.0 General Prerequisite GPA: 4.0 TEAS: 94.7% TEAS Math: 96.7% P.S. I am a transfer student so it looks like they are taking transfers...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    I think Sac State is able to accomplish the program in 4 semesters because nursing students are expected to be done with all their GE's. Also, I spoke with a Nursing Professor at Sac State and she...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    ST1004,I understand your reasons for wanting to leave home. I am also 20 and moved out last July. You definitely should not feel like you must stay at home just for money. You already have a network...

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

    cali_nature_girl replied to cali_nature_girl's topic in California Nursing

    I see your predicament. Though, I am not sure if CSUS would actually cost more since its 4 semesters rather than 6 at CSULB. Do you have all your GE's done? I'm sure you have looked at the CSUS...
