How is San Diego State University's BSN program?

Published

Anyone here in SDSU's nursing program? I am trying to find out any information on it, if you like it, how you like the large program size, the professors, fellow students, clinical and skills lab experience, etc. Also for any of you who are planning on or have applied to the program, if you know anything about it as well. Thanks!

I graduated from there in 2003. I absolutely loved it. They have a high NCLEX pass rate and I felt VERY prepared for work when I graduated. I'm not sure about other areas but there seems to be a lot of ADN vs BSN talk around San Diego with the ADN nurses saying that BSNs "don't get enough clinical" and that people would rather hire an ADN graduate. I never experienced any of that to be true.

I really don't have anything bad to say about nursing school except ENOUGH WITH THE GROUP PROJECTS ALREADY! LOL Obviously it was easier for the professors to grade 10 projects instead of 75 but I was an adult student (married with an infant) when I entered RN school. I didn't have a lot of free time to get togetehr to work on those damn group projects. I loved that I went to a University and got the real college feel. i don't know if you live in San Diego now but it is absolutely beautiful and you couldn't ask for a better city to go to college in. If you have any specific questions, you can always PM me but my info may be a little dated :)
