Yes, it is possible. I did my prereqs at East Los Angeles City College, and did the RN program at Los Angeles Southwest College. I applied to Cal State Dominguez Hills, Cal State San Bernardino, and Cal State Fullerton. I got into all three Cal State RN to BSN programs. My overall GPA including nursing school is about a 3.2

Hello, I'm a new grad (ADN) and just finished this past December 2013. I got accepted into all 3 of the RN-BSN programs I applied to. I got into Cal State San Bernardino, Cal State Fullerton, and Cal State Dominguez. I have decided to decline CSUSB just because of the additional required capstones and the frequent drives required to Palm Desert. I initially applied because it was an online hybrid program. Since I am making work and gaining experience my priority I need help making a decision. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in either of these programs? Was it manageable with family and work? So here are my options: CSUDH Pros: All online, which allows flexibility for work and family Slightly more affordable 18 months Full Time Or your own pace Part Time No Commuting :) (Clinical once a semester) Cons: More course work required such as Patho and Statistics Lower NCLEX pass rate 70% (even though Im licensed, I still consider this) More Independent Study Time Required CSUF Pros: 12 month program Full Time 18-24 months part time options Some online courses offered High NCLEX pass rate 93% Awesome Options for Masters Programs Cons: Campus based = more commuting:down: Any input for anyone would be great and appreciated. I'm still on the fence and a major factor is the commuting and class time required. Please let me know what you think. Thanks
