San Francisco State University (SFSU) ABSN 2023

[lennecita]

I haven't seen anyone start a thread for SFSU's ABSN program this year. Hoping to connect with people who applied for Summer 2023! 

Does anyone know if we need to submit official transcripts to NursingCAS only? Thanks! 

[Luna11]

Thanks for finding that. I couldn't find last year's thread anywhere.

According to forums from past years, they were already sending out decisions by now... people had to accept/decline offers by mid-April.

Apparently they accept around 80 people and offer 15-20 waitlist spots (they tell you which # you are).

Hopefully we hear about interviews soon!

While we're all anxiously waiting, I was wondering if anyone has heard much about SFSU's ABSN program? I've tried looking deep into the internet, but I can't find any information on the clinical sites, professors, quality of the program, how students are doing after the program, and whether or not there is a preceptorship. I know I haven't even been accepted yet, but it's been worrying me!

If anyone knows anything at all, it would be greatly appreciated!

I haven't found much info either! I wish they published more about the program. Here are some things I did find: https://chss.sfsu.edu/sites/default/files/documents/Nursing Panel Transcript March 2020.pdf

some of the clinicals mentioned here were: SFGH, Kaiser SF, UCSF, CPMC, Laguna Honda

I know someone in the entry level masters version of the program, and she loves it! Her biggest compliant was that the master's version is long and many people wanted to drop out after they received their RN. Administration ended up changing the policy (this year, I believe) so that you can't leave partway through. But that doesn't apply to the ABSN of course, so not sure how helpful that is, sorry!

Hi, this was super super helpful! Thank you so much ? Also, I don't think they do interviews (based on recent years)!

It's almost April 

Anyone received anything?

Hi all!
Have any of you tried contacting them to find out when they might release decisions? Last year, I believe they released their decision on April 3rd. I tried calling them and left a voicemail but have not heard back ?.

[bon bon, BSN, RN]

I sent an email 2 weeks ago asking and have also not heard back yet :’)

[Kailynne Van Winkle]

Hi! I have not heard anything back either. Tbh I'm kinda nervous because it seems like all nursing schools are SO competitive in CA. My stats are 82% TEAS, 3.9 GPA, 1.5 years experience as a CNA. I've only taken the TEAS once and really don't wanna pay and take it again even though I'm not happy with my score LOL.

[Supernova, BSN, RN]

Is everyone's portal updated for pending application? My portal is still under "You do not have any pending applications at this time."

[Mochi10]

Mine also says "You do not have any pending application at this time"

Same here
