   Hi again Paisleybird, At the Concord campus, our schedule was typically Mon-Thurs with the exception of a possible Friday simulation lab or Fri/Sat clinical. The Fri/Sat clinical schedule only applied...

   @luckyduck'17 and @rawritsyuri I was in the same boat a couple years back and chose CSUEB because SFSU was implementing a new curriculum and I heard that they had removed the preceptorship. This will...

   gingersnapper replied to paisleybird's topic in School, College Programs

   I think it depends on you. You would have a job and a commute, so you'd have to be really good at time management. A lot of my classmates work more than 10 hours a week or have other heavy...

   gingersnapper replied to paisleybird's topic in School, College Programs

   It really depends on you and what else you have on your plate. The people who didn't work and didn't have other heavy commitments seemed to have an advantage. The folks who had a long commute, small...

8. Fall 2015 CSUEB

   gingersnapper replied to paisleybird's topic in School, College Programs

   Yeah, the 5 week thing is intense. They do tend to pair the harder classes with the less challenging ones, so it's not the same level of intensity for every class. Each professor decides how many...

   gingersnapper replied to paisleybird's topic in School, College Programs

   For patho and pharm, they are 10 weeks each. They are doable, but very challenging and time consuming. I did well in them, but I wasn't working and gave my life to those classes. As for the pace, in...

    gingersnapper replied to paisleybird's topic in School, College Programs

    ajohn2015, I probably spent about $2000 during the orientation for books and other fees, but I bought the most expensive bundle of textbooks that the school offered. Many of the current students I...

    gingersnapper replied to paisleybird's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Jnnlm, I'm not very familiar with the program at SJSU, but as a current nursing student at CSUEB, I'd be happy to answer any questions you or anyone else has about the program from a student's...

13. CSUEB(Hayward) vs. SFSU(spring) 2014/2015 Help!!

    gingersnapper replied to Nanonano87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Nanonano87, I am in the CSUEB program now, and having come from the semester system, it definitely feels more fast-paced, but I like it. After the second month, I am usually ready for the class to...

    gingersnapper replied to LVN2RNpanda824's topic in California Nursing

    I'm sure they'll contact everyone very soon with an orientation date. I would wait (without sacrificing your standing at potential backup options) until your acceptance to do BLS, background check,...

    @katekrave - I messaged a user that I know got into our program who is a veteran and asked if he or she could shed light on your question. Based on last year's thread, it sounds like CSUEB gives heavy...
