The books in the book bundles will cover you for the first year and a few books carry onto the 2nd year with some rotations like periop, geriatrics, and medical. There's other things like kaplan, simchart, SLS, all of these things are online products/sources. But you'll get more info about it at orientation.

Concord graduates 1 quarter earlier than Hayward. During the 3rd year they take classes in the summer. Here's a link to the roadmap http://www20.csueastbay.edu/csci/departments/nursing/files/docs/concord-roadmap.pdf

For patho and pharm you'll have 10 weeks to learn it which might seem short if you're coming from a semester system. But the professor Julie (Hayward campus) is an awesome teacher and is straightforward. There are 2 midterms and 1 final so if you do bad on one test you still have a chance to raise your grade with the other two exams. When you get to level 2 the courses are cut down into 5 week courses which is overwhelming and crazy. But you don't have to worry about that for another year :) For your first year, you'll be assigned "bigs" and you can ask them for the patho and pharm syllabi but my advise is to relax this summer!

Hi there! I'm a current nursing student at CSUEB and I really do like this program. Overall great instructors but the classes can feel a bit faced paced due to the quarter system. I was able to live on campus but I'm from SSF and I have other classmates that commute from across the bay. And it's definitely do-able. Hospitals we go to are located in the East Bay (Berkeley, Hayward, Oakland, Fremont, etc) I'm not sure about the drive to SJSU from SF but I do have a friend that commutes from SF to SJ (evergreen college for nursing) and she doesn't like it. Hope this helps!

The 10 points for native students are just "extra" points, similar to the 5 points for knowing another language & 5 points working in a health care setting. The main points they take into consideration is the gpa (50 points) and the teas (40 points). The other points are add-ons to boost up your score.
