Nursing
 
So I recently applied to CSU's for Nursing but as I started reviewing their requirements for the nursing school (CSULB) they mentioned that they arent taking any AB540 students. I called and spoke to someone in the nursing program and she said it was because of the Board exam. Has anyone been able to pursue nursing in california?

Ive been waiting for my work permit...because they require a valid SS# In order to do a background check on u. Since the health care profession is very important, dealing with the health of the public requires an idividual with no record of any kind...besides i think thats how they check ur medical history as well.

i went through nursing school as an ab540 student. i went to csuf. at the time they were accepting ab540 students (i started back in 07) but i think now that has changed. i was able to take the board exams because i had a valid ssn. that's all you really need it for.

Thank you, I think thats what I'm going to have to do. I won't be done with my requirements until the end of spring semester so I was thinking of applying in August for Spring admissions hopefully by that time I have my SSN #. You havent began nursing school for that matter aswell?
Thanks for the response btw :)

Do you know how long ago that was? Because if I can do it that way I'll try.

Yes not having a work permit and SS# has kept me from enrolling. SS# is a must there is no other way about it....trust me i have done plenty of research and talked with the school councelor. It sucks to have to on stand by specially when u have good drades!!! Good luck to u...in the mean time yeah get all the other pre-reqs done as an AB540 best option for now...

That really sucks! Hopefully you get your SNN # soon! I hope to have mine by the time I finish my pre-reqs. Where do you go to school? Do you by any chance happen to know when we apply for the dream act application, is it january?
