I'm about to finish my ADN this Dec, and I am planning on completing my BSN ASAP. I just found out I was accepted into cal-state dominguez hills' RN-BSN program. I'm currently trying to decide if I should attend this school or ohio university. Anyone have experience with CSUDH?
The reason CSUDH appeals to me is because it's a semi-local school, it's affordable, and you can take pathophysiology and biochem online as an elective. The more science courses I can receive an A in, the better (CRNA is my ultimate goal).
Anyone have experience with this program? How difficult is it? How many units were you able to handle each semester? I've heard of people taking as many as 23 units in one semester while working full time. I figure if I take 12 units each semester, I can finish in 3 semesters, and focus on earning A's instead of half-a**ing my way through courses.
How easy is it to get into CSUDH RN-BSN. One of my kids will start 2nd RN program at LBCC and looking to apply to CSULB, LA, DH, FULLERTON, and SB. I think mostly it should be pretty easy. LBCC and CSULB has partnership and well.
How is DH RN-BSN program in terms of quality and supportive professors?
Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has gone through the RN-BSn program at CSUDH and how was it? Do they have good curriculum, does it feel like a reputable BSN program etc?...
First off, Congrats to being accepted ProgressiveThinking! Does the CSU Dominguez Hills RN-BSN online look at your GPA from your nursing? or how was your admission process when you were applying there? What were the admission requirements and how was your gap or whatever they asked from you when you applied? Any information will help! Thank You
Questions about the student experience are great to post in these forums. Other questions such as admission requirements and insider information such as slectiveness of admissions is best to direct to the Nursing school itself.
The origin of the RN-to-BSN program at CSUDH was in the late 1970's as leaders at the state level, health care leaders, and academics came together to develop an innovative program for working nurses to earn a BSN. At the time 12 hour shifts were not common and nurses found it difficult to attend traditional university courses. The Statewide Nursing Program was launched by grant funding and became such a success that it was housed on the CSUDH campus. It has never been traditional, but always met the needs working RNs with a quality program. Graduates of the program are dispersed all over the state working in every type of health care setting. Many have attained higher education including PhDs based on the BSN foundation they received at CSUDH. Some alums are in very prominant positions such as Chief Nursing Officers and members of the Board of Registered Nursing.
A school's repuation is hard thing to get a handle on. It mostly invovles perception. The RN-to-BSN program at CSUDH is a non-selective program. Due to the online delivery, there isn't a need to limit the number of students due to space in a classroom. Also, the national expectation is for all RNs to complete their education to the BSN level as a minimum. So what's the point of selectivity once the pre-licensure education has been succefully completed? Bias against online education persists even in the face of a large body of evidence showing there is no significant difference in student outcomes when traditional and alternative education delivery are compared (see the website No Significant Difference). Online degree programs are often chosen by new nurses because they typically don't have any control over their work schedule.

Did you end up going to CSUDH for the RN to BSN? If so, I would love your input of the program! Thank you.

No I didn’t but my friend did and they told me it’s pretty chill. And the class that requires the RN is the last class so you’ll get ample time to take the NCLEX
Hello! I was wondering if anyone had decided to attend the CSUDH BSN Summer Fast Track program? If so, how was the zoom Health Assessment class? What did they have the students do exactly during zoom? I've been accepted to start Summer 2021 but I have some questions regarding what is expected for Health Assessment and how many days is required for the clinical portion near the end of the program? Thank you!
