Let me know if you hear/learn anything! I'm still looking into different options, but havent really found a "top" choice yet.

I am currently enrolled and starting an ADN program this Fall 2022. I am looking for any recommendations for RN to BSN concurrent enrollment programs or any advice within the topic! So far I have looked a little at GCU, ASU, CSUF, and Capella, but other recommendations are appreciated. ? Preferably mostly to all online would be best. I would like to get an idea on people's experiences within the program/getting into a program.

Same! I basically had the same thought process as well.

Do you know which one you're leaning toward more?

This is great information! Thank you, it's super appreciated!

I did get accepted to both so I'm still waiting on what the schedule is for Goldenwest to compare that as well.

I think everyone just has a different experience no matter what school you go to, so it's kinda a gamble. I've been to nursing school for my LVN and all my classmates and I had different experiences throughout the program. I did want to go to Saddleback, but like I mentioned, the drive would be a bit much for me when I'd rather prioritize the time I could use to study. Also, I plan on continuing to work while in school so I'm limited on my use of time.

Yeah, I've heard that too. But I literally live like 5 minutes from Goldenwest and maybe 40 minutes from Saddleback, so I thought about it more and I'd rather spend my time studying than driving LOL.

Congratulations! I got accepted as well and applied with 82 points. I will be accepting my spot too, but I'm sure there are others who will decline their spot, giving people on the alternate list a chance! Good luck to everyone!

I haven't gotten any emails yet. I'm in another thread and other people said they haven't received anything either. A student in the program said even tho it says a month, it's taken 6-8 weeks for them to get back to students; they will notify you if you are or are not eligible for the program. And yes, it is my first time applying to GW!

Hi! I applied with 82 points for GW and applied for Fall 2022.

I haven't received any email yet. Hopefully by the end of the month!

This is SUPER helpful! I didn't realize they had already posted the classes, so this is super appreciated. I am still trying to work while in school (I know not the best situation) so I'm trying to figure out what my schedule may be like.

Hi Kenji, Thanks for all the great information, it's super helpful! I know you mentioned that classes were probably 2-3x/week. Are they typically in the morning? Thanks you, Jennifer

Hi @ZottingStudent, I applied with 82 points. I think someone else in the forum was saying average was about 79+ to getting in? I got accepted into Saddleback, but I live right across from Goldenwest so it would be more time efficient for me if I was able to attend Goldenwest. I'm still debating which one would be best for me based on other factors, but I'm hoping to get into Goldenwest because I'm leaning more toward it. Good luck and best wishes!

Hello! I also applied for Fall 2022 and am wondering have you heard back regarding applications yet? I know the deadline for applications was April 16th and it states it takes about a month. I think I'm just freaking out because it's already getting so close to a month and I haven't received any email yet. I wish everyone luck!

Hi Kenji! Thank you for your reply, it definitely eases some concerns I have. I currently am accepted into the Saddleback program and am waiting to hear from Goldenwest. Many people I've talked to have leaned toward Saddleback and I haven't seen much information regarding GWC, so I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your experience. Best, Jennifer

I am currently debating between Saddleback College and Goldenwest for their nursing program. I live in Huntington Beach, so I am a lot closer to Goldenwest, but mostly everyone I have talked to or looked up has preferred Saddleback College. Anyone have any opinions on either school and which they prefer? I am stuck between the two and don't know which one to choose...
