ADN-BSN step up program at GWC to CSULB

[valeriemoran]

Hello my fellow nursing students!

I was just wondering if anyone knows/has any idea how the step up program to CSULB works at Golden West College. I'm really interested in it, but their website does not say much. I know they also have an agreement with CSUF. I'm interested in attending Fall 2017, since I cannot apply for CSULB's program until I have completely finished all of my prerequisites. I still have to take stats (waited until the last minute, unfortunately) and that's the only class I have left. I currently have micro and chem IP and plan on taking statistics in the spring.

A little background:

I'm currently going to Moorpark college but I plan on moving to the orange county area. I'm open to applying to all CSU's and some ADN programs. I ALMOST went to west coast university until they told me it would be 90,000-100,000 dollars, even with all my classes transferred. Also, everyone kept telling me with a 3.7 gpa, I should try other schools, even if it will take me a little longer. My end goal is getting my BSN, even if I have to get my ADN first. I guess I'm feeling a little lost and discouraged. If anyone has any advice or know's anything about GWC or other bridge programs to BSN PLEASE LET ME KNOW :)

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't Moorpark have a ADN program? I think that one is less selective than Ventura College because you don't really need a CNA license. And it's just a year. Then you can apply for CSUCI ADN-BSN program in Goleta or do the fast track. I spoke to one of the CSUCI advisor's and she told me to not feel discouraged if we don't get in the first time, and that plan be would do the ADN route. Because their ADN -> BSN program are less competitive. Geri-Lyn said that usually if you fulfill all of the necessary supplement materials (you don't need military or language) and you live in santa barbara county then you guaranteed admission. I would contact their program for confirmation and clarification though. Good luck!
