To those of you that got into the program last year and are currently students, can you offer any insight about what your grades were like? Also, do you know if CalState Northridge accepts Psych Stats as your Stats requirement for prereqs? Do they accept a general communications class as your Speech requirement? the CalState Northridge ABSN program is my top choice so any insight anyone could offer would be AMAZING. THANK YOU.

I think she is jealous that you are going to school to become an RN and she is a nurses assistant... In any event, it was very inappropriate of her to discourage a student in that way. What could she possibly know about you anyway? I'm sorry you were spoken to in that manner.

Hello Fellow Nursing Students, I have a couple questions about Nursing prereqs to apply for ABSN programs. First of all, I've noticed that a lot of ABSN Programs want students to take Oral Communications as a prereq: during my undergraduate degree I did take Intro to Communications class (though it was not a Speech class specifically) and my degree was a BA in theatre---meaning that I got up in front of rooms full of people weekly and spoke/performed... Do you think my Theatre Degree or the Into to Communications class will fulfill this requirement? Also, I see a lot of programs require a statistics course, which I also took during my undergrad degree.... The course was called "psychological statistics" and it covered things like probability, mean, median, and mode, et cetera. Do you think the fact that it was called "psychological statistics" and not just plain "into to statistics" will bother schools that I am applying to? Do I have to take this class again?! Any insight would be tremendously appreciated!!! Thank you so much! Sincerely, ABSN Hopeful Shaina
