Beautiful story. I try to remind myself everyday that basic comfort can mean the most to my patients. And for the most part, they are very appreciative for that aspect of the care I give them. Thanks for sharing your experience.

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 on the alternate list :) Good luck and congrats!!

@yerda82: I just sent you a PM. Let me know if you got it, ok?

I am in too! I interviewed March 22. This is so exciting :)

Did they tell you how many students they're admitting this year?

The title is cracking me up! Thanks for representing!

Search FB for the group and ask to join. One of us will approve you then and you will have access to the FB page.Congrats to you on your admission!

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 for the actual students, so that I can be as prepar...

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 pretty much get placed in the tracks they want (typ...

I just got an email offering admission for Fall 2012 to the Temecula campus! Anyone else? I have until April 22 to accept.

Really good thread. I love to hear stories like these. Thanks for sharing them!

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 living with someone. I'll let you know if I hear anyth...

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 social networking commence

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 which would be private to cohort 9 and that could ...

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 wants responses by April 2 (Monday) so maybe there...

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 be sending emails this afternoon/evening as well. A...

No, I don't know about RSVPs. Glad that the interview process was good for other interviewees too! Let's keep each other posted!!

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 few weeks, and they plan to have final decisions 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 away too many details because they sort of implie...

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 though. I'll probably email to see when they might s...

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 at CSUSM for ABSN?

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 admitted or waitlisted. I am trying to only think o...

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 the 2 step TB test done too. Well, let's keep each...

@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 on with our training and making our goals a reali...

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 more) to get training and certification as a NP. U...
