San Diego State University Fall 2014 hopefuls

U.S.A. California

Published

Hello!

I'm starting a thread for those who have applied to SDSU's BSN program for Fall 2014. I know we still have some time to find out if we are accepted or not, but I thought it would be nice to start this thread so that we can all have some support while we are all stressing about whether we got in or not. Also, I am interested in how competitive my scores/ grades are under the new point criteria. Here are my stats:

Cumulative GPA: 3.89

prerequisite GPA: 3.73

TEAS: 89.3

5 points for work experience (I work as a CNA in a home health care agency, I think it should count, right?)

61 points total (so worried this score isn't very competitive)

military veteran also (not worth points but hopefully it is put into consideration?)

please post your stats too!! Also, for chemistry I took both general chemistry and organic chemistry, do I include both when determining my prereq. GPA or just the organic chemistry?

Hello! My name is Ashley and I'm new to this Allnurses thing! But I got into SDSU as well for Fall 2014 and accepted my admission today! I would love to join this facebook group and get through nursing school together!:) I live in San Francisco right now and i'm super nervous for everything. Hope i'm not the only one!

:D

Sorry to post again! But does anyone have any information about San Diego State's nursing program? I've been trying to research how the professors are and how students like the program but I am not finding anything.

Thanks!

If you go to the previous comments there is a break down of an alumni's experience at SDSU's SON. :)

Hi, does anyone know if we have to get CPR certification done before we start school? Do we also have to get first aid training?

I talked to -------------- about this and he said not to worry about it. I can't guarantee you anything but I think you only need CPR (I would just wait for the e-mail for more specific instructions. It should be sent out mid-may).

I was just wondering if it's doable to take any GE's during the first semester of nursing. I noticed that on mymap, it says to take a GE but I don't know if it is better to take it in later semesters.

Not sure...there is a bunch of stuff I am sure. I also hear the most $$ is spent 1st semester on supplies and all, so I'm saving now! I look forward to meeting you all as well! :)

In this past year's application what happened was any transfer who was done with their pre-reqs by Fall of 2013, you would be applying for nursing school, Fall 2014. Transfers are only able to apply for Fall, so make sure you are done or finishing up all your pre-reqs by then. You must submit an application by November 30th 2013 and submit your TEAS and Fall 2013 grades by January 30, 2014.

You can look at their website for more information for transferring students specifically for the nursing program. SDSU has changed their curriculum recently and I can't say all of this will be accurate by the time you apply. I highly recommend going to a group advising session (you can find on the SDSU SON's website) and ask the academic advisor.

Here is the transfer information for SDSU:

Transfer Student Applicants

To answer your question... There is a waiting period after you are done with your pre-reqs. The waiting period until nursing school starts will be a little less than a year after you apply in November.

I am taking the BLS for Healthcare Providers course, which is what you will need. Sharp offers it, but it is expensive. I am taking it in June at Life Support Academy which is off Balboa Ave. in San Diego. It is like $32. I emailed ------------, who is part of the faculty, and she said that is fine. You just have to be sure that wherever you take your class is certified by the American Heart Association.

Hi!

In addition to the info provided by aeromoveo, I would also recommend that you attend a student advising session as soon as possible. I am glad that I did this very early, because I initially thought that I had all the classes I needed to transfer, when really I needed two more. I would not have known this until it was too late had I not went to the advising session. Here is a link to the schedule for those sessions. BSN Group Advising Sessions

Best of luck to you! :)
