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?

I enjoy the faculty and feel like our questions are answered. They have had to adapt parts of the program to fit a zoom lecture platform, with skills and clinical in person. They do a good job of covering information that is on the test. Helps that lectures are recorded and can re listen. 

The first 4 weeks my days  for lectures and skills were:

Mon- skills lab 1040-1 and pharm 3-5 with after dinner study. 

Tues- fundamentals 8-11 and study couple hours after dinner

Wed- 7-4 lectures and skills 

Thur 7-4 lectures and skill

Fri-Sun prepping for exam on Tuesday. 

Now that's its past those 4 weeks. 

Same schedule for Mon evening study

TUE- lecture 8-11 then go to hospital in afternoon spend 1-2 hours getting info to go home and prep info to present the next morning. 

WED clinical 630-330 now go home home do HW and exam prep. (Clinical could be on Wed or Thurs, always have to prelab at hospital day before, after weeks of clinical we start vsim and next group starts clinical. Vsim is Wed, Thur, or Fri 7-3ish.

 I highly recommend not working or only working part time. We have been told that our schedules can change at last min notice. 

Thur to Sun I can now work and study or if not working I study. 

@BLazingBetty836 you're so awesome! Thank you for helping us!

Hey everyone, I have a question regarding admissions. I don't remember at any point during the application it asking whether we wanted to apply for Fall or Spring. How is that decided?

I think they said they ranked the applicants by points; Top 50 get into fall and 51-100 get Spring

Hey guys ! I realized that its 74 points total for ADN programm , I am just wondering maybe someone know how many points will be the good chances to get into the programm ? I applied  to the ADN hopefully will get into ADN programm at CCSF also  I graduated LVN through CCSF in 2015 great clinical sites and very knowledgeable teachers 

Does anyone know when they will tell us when we are accepted?

I think it's 100 points total https://www.ccsf.edu/sites/default/files/2021/document/multi_criteria_worksheet_updated_jan2021_ADA.docx

I'm not sure what they admitted with last year, I asked during the info session and they said it changes every year but somewhere in the 70s. I have 86 so hopefully it's enough! Happy to hear you liked the LVN program before, that's reassuring. Good luck!

Hey Everyone. I wanted to reach out. I am a current CCSF nursing student in my 1st semester. I us thedis forum when I was applying and was helpful to me to ease any anxious feeling I had. 

If you have questions about things I'm happy to help in anyway I can.

my score was I believe 79. I'm not fluent in another language, Im not a military veteran, I don't have any healthcare experience, and no point from life experience.

I have high GPA in science and overall GPA, TEAS score of 87%

I hope this helps.

Hi BLazingBetty836,

On CCSF RN website it says If applicant is selected for admission, applicant need to go under criminal background check and urine test. Did you also need vaccination record before starting program? Is it only those 3 requirements need to be completed before starting? Is there more things that they require other than those? When was the due date for those requirements? Due to family emergency I may not be in U.S. when I hear back from CCSF. I am thinking to prepare those requirements before I leave here. I appreciate your help!

So yes they will run a background check and you will have to drug test. The immunization isn't just giving record of vaccines. It's going to doctor to have blood work done to check the titers of each one. If they are not within range of being immune (some people weren't and needed booster).  The due date for us was Dec 30, for fall I'm not sure. The vaccines and things are for going to clinical.  You could do the background and titer levels, and do the drug test when you get here. The drug test is done at lab corp and takes couple days for results to post to them. They give you enough time incase you have to redo or resubmit. 

Hope this help.
