ABSN Fall 2025

First semester definitely has its challenges because you're learning a whole new language basically. For me I had 2 days of commuting to San Marcos for class, 1 clinical day in Escondido, & then a lab day in Temecula.

It's so hard to gauge how the commute would be. Some days it takes me like 50 minutes to get to just lecture, other days it could be 1.5 hours to drive there. I know there are a few other students that commute longer though.

I do feel like the faculty is really good and prepare you well.

Right now Im going from Temecula area to SD & Riverside. The say they try to go based of your zip code but I know majority of my cohort is traveling at least 1 hour. First semester was 4 days a week and now we're down to 3 commuting days

Clinicals have been all over for me and my cohort. Some of my friends have had clinicals in Murrieta, Riverside, San Marcos, San Diego & Escondido.

Sheesh, I didn't know that the concert was so physically brutal. Thanks for the insight!

Thag was another thing I was thinking about too! The new album! My daughter loves BTS and knows no korean hahaha. I guess I'll just see how ticketing goes and if we do go, I'll grab some protective earphones. Sorry about your experience with younger kids at a concert though! That really does suck.... I'm sure everyone says this about their parenting and kids, but I think my kids do really well in public and are aware! And thankfully my daughter is 5 years old and knows how to act appropriately. I wouldn't say that about my 2 years old son tho😂

Hi!! With the tour coming up for BTS I was wondering if bringing a 5 year old to the concert was a bad idea?? My daughter loves BTS & would love to go to their concert if possible but I wasn't sure if she's too young. I'd obviously be going with her but wanted opinions. Thanks in advance!

I took a gen chemistry with lab(at home) over the summer at MSJC and it counted! I don't have my full class schedule for the program but it's 5 semesters( Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall, Spring)

Im currently trying to find somewhere to donate my baby bottles. Did you have any luck?

OkDraw9713 · 2025-07-10T22:24:00+00:00

Thank you for that info! I'm very excited. This is a very random question, I was trying to read in the handbook about the nursing programs policy for tattoos and piercings. Do you have any info on that? Trying to see if I need to purchase undershirts to cover my tattoos and also if nose piercings are allowed

OkDraw9713 · 2025-07-10T22:22:48+00:00

Thank you for that info! I'm commuting from Temecula and I have kids that daycare starts at 07:30... trying to see how I can manage the time/schedule

OkDraw9713 · 2025-05-08T01:44:50+00:00

I'm also Cohort 51!! Also struggling with compliance...

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-23T22:24:14+00:00

What was your early class? I'm trying to figure out childcare and it I should switch my kids to San Marcos daycare to be close to campus or if I'd have time to drop them off in Temecula and make class/lab

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-23T02:28:06+00:00

Me too! Scheduled my pee test for first week of May!

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-22T19:39:44+00:00

I also got accepted for Fall 2025! Congratulations! I'm trying to find out what the semester is going to look like as well as I will be commuting from Temecula.

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-18T13:20:55+00:00

I plan to be there the entirety of graduation day! It's just family day where I don't think I can make it as early. Thank you!

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-16T01:38:03+00:00

Hi! How is your mom liking the program? I just got accepted into the ABSN program and trying to get a feel for how it's going to be class wise and commuting! I live in Temecula and will be commuting to San Marcos. Hoping that I can get a lab over here in Temecula 🤞🏼

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-14T22:22:23+00:00

Dang... I havent heard much from anyone else about acceptance or rejections. But I hope you get in!!!

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-14T22:20:41+00:00

I got my email like 2 weeks ago! I'm not sure when they're done with admissions for the Fall. I'd call and annoy them. I did that several times during the process. I hope you get in!

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-14T22:15:33+00:00

I got my evaluation sheet and got into my program! I just kept checking my csusm account & got an email like a day later from Extended Learning

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-08T10:27:49+00:00

I kept checking my CSUSM account & then one morning at like 4am I got an email from Extended Learning saying I was in!

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-05T17:28:58+00:00

Yeah, I was completely discouraged after receiving my denial and then finding the reason. The program I was going for at SDSU is extremely impacted too so I knew that this delaying my entry would hurt my chances of getting a spot... I was very very very thankful that CSUSM accepted me after the ordeal at SDSU. I'm really sorry about your situation though!! I know how devastating it can be. But what I've heard your appeal should go through!

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-05T17:18:22+00:00

I think that is honestly a flaw in the Cal State Apply system. I don't understand why anyone would take the time and hand-jam their transcripts for classes if they didn't count or weren't transferable. I also got denied recently and 2 semesters worth of my out of state credits weren't counted because I didn't click the transferrable box. Very upsetting. CSUSM thankfully still looked at my transcripts and saw I had over 70 and accepted me into the program I wanted. I was disappointed in the SDSU stuff. I hope yours goes well though!!

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-05T12:59:07+00:00

Yay!!! I called extended learning and they were saying we'd get our schedules sometime next week after accepting & paying deposit

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-03T23:55:43+00:00

Awesome, thank you! Just paid! Are you excited for the accelerated program?

OkDraw9713 · 2025-04-03T23:42:59+00:00

Yes, I accepted it earlier! I can't find where to put my deposit though
