You may need to go onto your 2019-2020 FASFA to make sure that you made a school change to CSUSB!

I stupidly did the 2020-2021 FAFSA and not the 2019-2020. No wonder no one could find any information on my FAFSA. Thanks for the help!

I did the 2020-2021 as well just to make sure it was done for that school year but you can just submit a school change and then CSUSB will receive your fasfa information. In the mean time, you should probably send your transcripts because they need those on file.

I ended up signing up for the 2019-2020 FAFSA yesterday so hopefully there’s an update on that in a few days. I did send my transcripts over since I think that needs to be done before the 24th? And before we can even register I’m assuming.

That sort of made sense but was there a description sent from Steve/SON that says what this Elsevier Bundle is? How many books are there in total? Are previous editions satisfactory?

There are 4 books in the Elsevier Bundle. The authors are: Cherry, Edeleman, Gahart, and Lilley.If you look at the list he sent us you can search the ISBN and figure out which books are needed. It seems like most of them are a newer edition.

Specializes in None.

Kind of a retro active question since I've already been accepted but would it be better to just do the ADN as opposed to the CEP? I've seen some online sites like UT Arlington who offer the ADN to BSN program for like under $10k while the CSUSB portion of the degree is well over $25k based on my calculation.

Also, if I'm not mistaken we can also work as an RN after we've passed NCLEX and ADN requirements right? BSN is only designated by some hospitals?

I thought about that, too. But if you qualify for financial aid, we are supposed to qualify for more at CSUSB because it’s a 4 year state school. Also, we’ll be done faster, I think??

Any other CEP students get the email for compliance today for CSUSB?

I did! We just need to bring everything to bootcamp. Not sure on the HIPAA certification though?

I think the HIPAA certification we will be instructed regarding HIPAA and then we will sign a certification.

Sorry for the mixed up response....?

Does anyone know if the titer results and physical examinations that we submitted to RCC will be used for Cal State?
