Thanks, RN_miadomsmommy!! Have you decided your plans? :)

Hi, has anyone heard anything? Thanks!

Hi Hailyxo, Yes, I meant the SFSU Accelerated BSN-RN program. I have been looking into it, as it seems like a good program. I'm torn between the 2 year RN and 2nd degree accelerated 1 year BSN. I guess, I will just apply to all of them and see where I get in! I wish the application cycles weren't so far apart. Good luck to everyone starting this Fall! Hope to hear about the experiences! :)

Hi All! I had a friend that completed CCSF RN program and really loved it. She is now working at SF General and already enrolled in a Master's pathway program. I'm hoping this is the norm. Since, I am still on the waitlist for CSM, I'm planning my next round of applications. I most definitely will be applying to CCSF for Spring. Just from what I have heard, you get really great exposure at the program. Does anyone know anything about the CSSF-Accelerated Bachelor RN San Mateo program? Keep us posted on what you decide! Very exciting! :) Good Luck to everyone!

Hi Everyone: I'm on the wait list as well for this Fall as well. Is anyone planning on taking the CPR course this Sat? Thanks!

I think the CSM program sounds great if you just want your RN. It's reputation is similar to any other junior college in the area. However, unless you already have a bachelor's degree I would strongly suggest looking into programs that offer a BSN. Many hospitals now, are only hiring nurses that have BSN coupled with the fact that the hiring pool is already so competitive in the area.

Thank you all so much for sharing your thoughts and anxieties! I am glad we are all in the same boat. This is my second time applying to the Master's entry program, and I would lie if I said, I wasn't checking my application every day! @statsleeper, what were your grades like? Do you know how much your letters or rec weigh into your application? I have been working in hospital administration for 5 years, completed my pre-reqs with a 3.25 GPA, but my undergrad GPA is less than par. I started volunteering at a children's hospital this past year, and all I want to do is be working on the clinical side of health care. I can imagine, most of us are all on the same page with this. I wish you all the best, and I will look forward to reading the future postings on this thread. :)
