  1. Fall 2015 CSUEB

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

    @slaybee, information about quarterly tuition and fees is available on the CSUEB website. It occasionally changes and what you pay may be dependant on how much aid you apply for and receive. I would...

  2. Fall 2015 CSUEB

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

    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...

  3. Fall 2015 CSUEB

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

    Paisleybird, I'd be happy to answer any questions you have as long as they do not violate our program policy. The same rules apply via private online message. Let's keep our discussion public. There...

  4. Fall 2015 CSUEB

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

    I would love to answer this question for you and for other potential CSUEB nursing students, but according to our student handbook, we can "not discuss or post any information about faculty, peers,...

  5. Fall 2015 CSUEB

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

    @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...

  6. Fall 2015 CSUEB

    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...

  7. Fall 2015 CSUEB

    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...

  9. Fall 2015 CSUEB

    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...

  10. Fall 2015 CSUEB

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

    Jnnlm, one important thing to consider about commuting to CSUEB is that in the second year (level 2) of the nursing program, many the of clinical rotations will require that you go to the hospital the...

  11. Fall 2015 CSUEB

    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...

  12. Fall 2015 CSUEB

    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...

  14. CSUEB fall 2014 RN applicant

    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,...

  15. CSUEB fall 2014 RN applicant

    gingersnapper replied to LVN2RNpanda824's topic in California Nursing

    @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...

  16. SFSU BSN Fall 2014 Applicants

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

    Thanks bayareanurse05! So, the new program essentially gives you an extra clinical rotation in the unit type of your choice, but just not with one nurse? As long as it doesn't hurt your employment...

  17. CSUEB fall 2014 RN applicant

    gingersnapper replied to LVN2RNpanda824's topic in California Nursing

    @LVNpanda824 - I realized I didn't fully answer your question. All correspondence was via email initially, as it was a conditional acceptance that depended on them verifying that we had met all...

  18. SFSU BSN Fall 2014 Applicants

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

    I don't know why they removed it, but I had heard from a former student that even when they still technically had it in the curriculum, that her capstone (preceptorship) never actually occurred. She...

  19. SFSU BSN Fall 2014 Applicants

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

    They definitely cut the preceptorship out. They also removed Pharmacology and Pathophysiology as seperate classes and integrated the content into the curriculum. I was accepted to SFSU last year and...

  20. CSUEB fall 2014 RN applicant

    gingersnapper replied to LVN2RNpanda824's topic in California Nursing

    Last year, the earliest people were hearing back was the very end of May. Depending on where people were on the lists, they continued to hear back well into the summer as accepted students declined...

  21. CSUEB fall 2014 RN applicant

    gingersnapper replied to LVN2RNpanda824's topic in California Nursing

    Definitely make sure to file your Intent to Enroll by the deadline. It should be fine to submit more than one to different universities until you hear back and make your decision, as those deadlines...

  22. CSUEB fall 2013 acceptance

    gingersnapper replied to Lady0121's topic in California Nursing

    I chose Concord, as it's a semester shorter. I passed up a couple of quality accelerated programs to stay local, so I'm all for doing whatever I can to speed this thing along without sacrificing...

  23. CSUEB fall 2013 acceptance

    gingersnapper replied to Lady0121's topic in California Nursing

    Looks like we're going to be classmates! I chose CSUEB. I'm so relieved to finally know where I'm going. Congrats everyone! And to those who didn't get in or are waiting to hear, I've got my...

  24. CSUEB fall 2013 acceptance

    gingersnapper replied to Lady0121's topic in California Nursing

    I'm deciding between CSUEB BSN and Oregon Health and Sciences University ABSN. OHSU is a really good school and only 15 months long, but I don't want to work in Portland, I want to work here. It's...
