Hi, will all of our official transcripts need to be mailed together in a manila envelope? Or mailed separately by the transcipt company? Please confirm ?

Thank you!!

Hi Samazingg,

Good question. I think both would work, but I'm not entirely sure. I had my official transcripts sent to my home and then I put everything in an enveloped and sent it to the Nursing department.

Gotcha, thanks! Also, if a school can only do electronic transcripts right now, who do you send them over to? Sorry so many questions!

I'm not too sure about that one. Thats a question better answered by their Nursing department. At the zoom session they said to send a screenshot (or some type of evidence) that your school is only doing electronic transcripts to their email [email protected], but I don't remember too well if you should send the transcripts to CCSF Admissions office or to another email.

Probably best to follow up with them.

Does anyone know if we'll get an email from CCSF confirming our points? I'm just curious. Also in response to the TEAS scores- there was conflicting information but I sent mine in anyways because of what they said at the info session. Good luck to you all!

I'm pretty sure they said they would not send out a confirmation email simply because there would be too many applicants to respond to. I havent gotten any email and I sent in  my application about a month ago.

I think that makes it worse because I'm going to be worrying about everything that might possibly have gone wrong, up until May/June when I actually hear back from them.

They finally emailed me back about that! this is what they said: 

"We received many hard official transcripts in the mail. We also understand some institutions does not offer paper copy transcripts. 

You may email an electronic copy transcript to: [email protected]

(CCSF RN Department, 50 Frida Kahlo Way, SF CA  94112)"

Hi BlazingBetty836,

I'm super curious as to how is the program going so far?

Is it difficult?

Where are you doing clinicals?

Any advice? Things you wish you knew beforehand

Do you recommend the program?

Things are going good. The 1st 4 weeks are very intense and not recommended to work then. We had an exam each week for 3 weeks, that was hard. Lecture and skills mixed into the long days for the 1st 4 weeks. 

Things have settled a bit, it's hard but agian do able. 

We just started clinical. They are at CPCM and Kentfield (inside st Mary hospital I'm sf)

I wish I had relaxed a little bit more beforehand. I spent alot of time doing things they told us to do from orientation, but now see I didn't have to stress on that as much as I did. If you can afford not to work or only work part time I would also recommend that.

Thank you so much!

How satisfied are you with the program and the instructors? 

Do you feel they do s good job of teaching you and testing you fairly?

What does s typical "busy" day look like for you?

Sergio had great questions. I also wanted to know how many of the class are also enrolled in the concurrent BSN at SFSU? Do most students make it through the program? Does it feel like the faculty are there to help you and support you? During your "breaks" in between semesters (Summer, Winter) do you have additional schoolwork or can you really take time to relax between? What is your best advice for someone who might start Fall 2021?Thanks so much!

I would check out this link for the ADN to BSN for CCSF and SFSU. I'mhttp://bulletin.sfsu.edu/colleges/health-social-sciences/nursing/bs-rns/ccsfroadmap/

Im a Spring start so will apply in Aug to both school school program. And hope to start in Spring of 2022 and be done with BSN in Spring 2023 along with Summer class in 2022 at sfsu. 

I do feel like we are given all the information we need to do well. They want us to succeed and that is clear in my opinion. There is just alot of things to do in short time frames, alot of things expected to have done. Thing are currently with lectures via zoom and in person for skills and clinical along with doing things for skills online before coming. 

I'm Summer/Winter I don't have school work to do for the RN program at CCSF. Unless I needed additional classes to graduate or apply to SFSU. 

For fall start I would brush up on my drug dosage math. Not to hard but just refresh as well as practice some medical terminology and relax. Specially relax before starting.
