Hi everyone, I got the acceptance email today too! I'm not sure if I will be accepting though since I was also admitted to entry-level master's programs. So, there should be one more space for someone...
Yerda82- I really appreciate your honesty. I came across some of the more frustrating aspects you mentioned from reading previous posts and reviews. Personally, I'd rather know what it's really like...
Hi yerda82! Thanks for offering to answer questions from the newbies My first question is, basically, how do you feel about the program? And how does the second year compare to the first? Do people...
Congrats monmon87! So glad you are joining us in June. I haven't heard if anyone else is looking for a roommate yet. It seems like some are just commuting from the LA area, or are married/already...
Thanks for setting up the FB group, lilpeapods! I'll be forwarding the couple of emails I've received, to those who emailed me today. I'm getting over my FB phobia so I'll give it a try and let the...
Welcome to allnurses.com janeh and yumm! I would like to connect with everyone but don't use FB...I have a thing about internet privacy, but I might have to get over that! I did start a gmail address...
Congrats to those who were called or emailed! This program is my first choice, though I won't hear from CSUF until April 20. So I will definitely be joining this cohort! Yay! I know that the director...
YES! I just got the acceptance call from the director. :) So excited!!! I didn't ask her any questions because I was so happy so I don't know what the cohort size is for 2012, etc. She said she will...
Oh, one more thing, some stats: the director said they received about 250 applications, are interviewing 60 and will admit 20-30 based on this year's funding. She will know the final cohort size in a...
Well, I just returned from the interview this morning. It was actually fun meeting my fellow applicants (even if we are in "competition"!!!) and talking with some of the faculty. I don't want to give...
Well, let me correct myself...I just got a generic letter with an advising worksheet today from CSUSM (dated March 20) so I'm guessing the process is still in motion. I don't have any pre-reqs left...
Yeah, I applied in late January for Fall 2012 and haven't heard a peep. It's weird not even getting a reply that they are processing the application or anything. Anyone heard any response from anyone...
I'm interviewing tomorrow too. I wish we had more info about the format. 3+ hours is a long time to be interviewed and evaluated... Good luck to everyone! We are in the final stretch to either being...
I interviewed on March 7 and it's been a long wait to hear the admission decision! Only a few days to go, I guess... I had my titers drawn but am still waiting for the hepatitis result. I have to get...
@lilpeapods: I am so on board with your reasoning!! I am in my 30's too and want to get the most done in the shortest amount of time. I'm hoping that CSULA comes through for me (and you) so we can get...
As far as I understand, CSUF does not offer an entry level MSN with NP option, only a MSN in leadership. You would have to continue on with a different post-master's program of study (another year or...
@lilpeapods: She seemed pretty firm when she told me that official decisions would be made after March 22. So you might have to accept to UCLA and then decline after you hear from CSULA (if that's...
@siberiantiger, or other current ELMSN students: Could you tell us about your experience in CSUF's program? I haven't been able to find any recent posts about the curriculum, professors, etc. And any...
