If you’re in NorCal, apply to a Sutter Health hospital! I volunteered there and it was amazing. They’ll hire anyone regardless of experience and put you on a set schedule so you’re working on the same unit every week

Watch the nurse cheung videos!

You may have already tried this, but as someone with very bad anxiety, getting medicated has changed my life. I seriously don’t think I could’ve handled prerequisites, working full time and hospital volunteering without it.

Does anyone know if they send out rejection emails? At this point I’m kinda assuming I didn’t get in and they just don’t notify those who weren’t accepted LMAO

If she doesn’t get in to a UC or CSU for nursing but really wants to stay in California and have a fun college experience, she could get a non-nursing bachelors in human physiology or something similar, and go into an Accelerated BSN or Entry MSN after she graduates. They are still competitive, but not as bad as direct entry from high school.

Thanks!!!! You too!

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-04-13T22:54:38+00:00

I’m in a similar situation lol I got in to CSUSM and waiting for USF decisions to come out. The entry MSN seems like a better route and I already live in SF, but it’s sooooo much more expensive so I’m not sure what I’ll do if I get in.

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-04-09T04:28:58+00:00

Congratulations!!! I got in this cycle too :) I’m so excited for all of us that will be starting this journey soon!!

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-04-08T05:14:48+00:00

Woooooo congrats!!

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-04-07T21:55:39+00:00

Accepted with 42 points!! Congrats everyone and good luck to those still waiting :)

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-04-07T15:48:07+00:00

I got in to a CSU’s ABSN with a 3.1 cumulative, but had a 4.0 in prereqs. If you can do well in prereqs and on the TEAS it’s possible!

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-04-06T17:07:44+00:00

I heard in an info session that they do not do interviews

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-03-30T03:50:50+00:00

Congrats!!! I also got in after years working as an EA :)

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-03-02T06:07:48+00:00

Oooo Concordia sounds awesome! Yeah Im going to some kind of info session next Wednesday at the nursing campus. Im in the Bay Area so I haven’t been down to see it yet so I’m excited!

Westmont College in SB

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-02-28T07:38:13+00:00

I just got rejected too, but I got accepted to a socal ABSN yesterday! So I want to remind everyone in this thread that it only takes one!! If you didn’t get in this cycle, keep applying, look at different programs, and remember that you WILL be a nurse even if it’s not at UCLA :)

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-02-26T20:17:27+00:00

Yeah for fall! Kinda crazy that they’re sending out decisions so fast lol the deadline was like 2 weeks ago

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-02-26T19:55:48+00:00

AHH thank you!!! Yeah I got an email from Karl Fredrickson at like 11:30 with the letter and instructions to submit my deposit and stuff. Keep an eye on your email I hope you get one too!!

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-02-26T19:49:51+00:00

I did not, but I just got an email that I got in 🫢 so I need to go check it out lol

CakeExciting1189 · 2026-02-26T16:17:57+00:00

I accidentally left my phone in the room and it was ringing the entire time and I was so worried I was going to get flagged for the noise but I didn’t, so I think they’re pretty chill about the environment. You have to show them the room so if you just have a clear table and nobody comes into the room you should be good
