list of CA direct entry MSN and accelerated BSN programs

Thank you, Myethpio!

I' sure it will help someone.

From the California Board of Registered Nursing:

http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/rnprgms.htm

The BRN has the authority to approve registered nursing and advanced practice nursing programs in California. The purpose of approval is to ensure the program's compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. Prelicensure nursing programs must be approved by the BRN.

THANKS!!!!

What a huge help to me and I'd imagine lots of students in my position. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this, and doing a lot of the work researching titles!

That list is from 2005. Stuff has changed since then. For example, CSU Long Beach no longer has an Accelerated BSN program.

But both Long Beach State and Cal State Fullerton have EL-MSN programs

Cal State Fullerton has an EL-BSN program, too

Hello,

Does anybody know how impacted these accelerated programs are compared to the normal route? I am thinking of applying to either the accelerated bsn or msn next year since I am getting my bachelors in psychology. I was initially a pre-nursing student but did not get accepted into the bsn program so I've been applying to community colleges to be waitlisted. But meanwhile I've decided to get a bachelors degree in another major since I'm waiting anyway. Can somebody give me more information on these accelerated programs? I need to know the average gpa to get into the program and how impacted it is. What are my chances? This is my plan B and if it fails..I don't know what to do!! So stressed out thinking about it.

I'm also in the same position as Kim05 and would like to know the same information. I'm applying to SFSU as a nursing major and a psychology major as a backup. I highly doubt I will get accepted as the nursing major but if I get accepted as psychology major I would like to do that and go to an accelerated nursing program. I'm having a hard time finding information as to where there are these programs in CA. I would also like to know how impacted these programs are, since I read online somewhere that a certain school was only accepting 44 students into their program so that worries me a little.

also, if I stay on my path now instead of getting a BA in psychology and then going to the accelerated program, if I have repeats for my core classes because I've received a C grade the first time. Any suggestion on what I could do to be able to apply to schools such as San Francisco State University and San Jose State University and still have a good chance against other students?
