Im starting to look at programs to bridge into my BSN. The state schools here in California are much cheaper than the the well known online schools like GCU.
I work 36 hours a week, and I cannot afford to take several days off for lecture. I looked at their websites and they are very vague about what is and isnt online. They mention an online component but I dont know if it means I still have a physical lecture to show up to.
If anyone has an answer to my question please feel free to PM or post here.
Does CSU STAN or SAC STATE have a full online program?

Have you checked other Cal States for online programs? I think Chico has an online RN to BSN program.
You're right, there are online options for an RN to BSN within the CSU system.
I googled this phrase "online rn to bsn california state university" and csu Dominguez hills, California State University, Chico and a few others popped up!
GCU= Grand Canyon University
Most of the ADN to BSN or BSN to MSN staff got their advanced degree through GCU. The hospital even encourages the use of GCU because its a complete online program.
The only problem is GCU cost roughly $16,700 for the degree. Its way too expensive in my own opinion.
I want the BSN title. I know its all fluff like nursing history and other crap I could careless about. The only problem is the cost of tuition.
Thanks for clarification of what GCU is.
