I made a Facebook group, come join! We used one a lot for my last nursing program and it was super helpful to share information, questions, and help each other out. The name is CSULB NP 2020

Has anyone started a Facebook group yet for our cohort? We can share info get to know eachother...all that good stuff

I applied to FNP

I got my acceptance letter in the mail today too. Congrats everyone !!

I heard the same in terms of when we'll find out-pretty soon! I also applied for FNP.

I applied on 2/13 but unfortunately have not heard anything from the school about being selected for an interview. I did see some threads in past years about the interview and writing portion -can't recall exactly what was said but I'd look around al...

I also have an interview on Wed. I am not sure if they are done calling yet or not because I heard other units had been called earlier this week. Good luck everyone!!! Hope you get some good news.

I thought the course was fine. It certainly wasn't the best course I'll ever take, but I learned enough. It is online though, so you have to be pretty self-directed, and I think not having a professor to ask q's to could be frustrating. I did it in a...

Hey sandram417, I took the BYU class online last summer--I actually didn't think it was that bad. The class at UCLA is probably better but BYU is a more affordable option. I have the textbook for the BYU class if anyone wants it for free, otherwise I...

@ tatumollusk , as far as I know, they accept however many students they have spots for (50, or 70, not sure which) and then some applicants are asked to be on the waitlist. They don't accept 100, for example, and then hope their yield will be 70. I'...

Jumping in the conversation here, even though I didn't apply to CSULA, I am deciding between UCLA and another direct entry NP program that I've already sent a deposit to. My goal is to be a NP, eventually, but I am torn between thinking I should do a...

Peppymint, there was no info about orientation, unfortunately. I think a poster from a previous year said it was a day or two in late July? bruin2010, the portal still says "to date, no decision has been made on your application," even though I got t...

My last name also starts with an H. Hmm. Maybe they are doing some odd alphabetical order. Don't give up hope!

I just got an email from --------- with a congratulations on my acceptance to the MECN program. Yipeeee! I checked online about 15 min ago and there was still no update on my status. So, they are still sending out acceptances today! Good luck!!!!

Hey everyone! Has anyone come across info about the MECN program about student:preceptor ratios during clinicals and the total number of clinical hours in the program? I couldn't seem to find this info on their website. Was thinking of emailing admis...

Hey uclatrueblue, I found a 2014 academic calendar for UCLA here: Calendars: Academic & Administrative 2014-2015. I'm not sure if the calendar is valid for all programs, but at least it's a rough idea. Looks like fall quarter starts September 29.

Hi Binky16, same here & I'm completely frustrated with the whole experience. All I can assume is that they lost part of my application in the shuffle and failed to notify me. It really discourages me and gives me a bad taste. I hope you get in el...

I'm still waiting on state schools too :) good luck and I hope you get in!

Thank you RNNP! Actually, I'm still waiting to hear from a few schools but will likely put down a deposit at Yale. You?

I just declined my spot for FNP. Best of luck to the waitlisters and everyone else!

Hi Teena39, I asked the admissions office yesterday and they said they expect to contact more students for interviews in the next few weeks.

For those wondering about start dates, from last year's academic calendar on YSN's website, looks like orientation for new students began on August 19 last year--no dates for this year up yet. I bet we will find out more specifics after April 1/once ...

We should make a FB group! Don't think there is one already. I'd love to get to know everyone.

Hi jkm07! Thanks so much about the info about epidemiology! I would love to hear about the program. How have you found your classes and clinicals? Is faculty/administration supportive of students? How is the CNL role emphasized (if it is)? This may b...

Accepted for FNP yipeeeeee!!! Congratulations everyone!
