What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their acceptance into a nursing program, sharing their GPA, TEAS scores, healthcare experience, and decision-making process between different schools. Some members are also seeking advice on choosing between schools, clinical site assignments, transportation options, and class formats. Additionally, there is a conversation about being waitlisted and the likelihood of getting accepted from the waitlist based on past cohorts' experiences.

Hello everyone! I am planning to apply for SJSU's BSN program for 2025 and just want to start a forum for it! Feel free to ask questions and share stats!! Best of luck!

Hi! I read your forum from last year. Do you know how many in your cohort right now have been waitlisted before getting in to the Fall 2024 start?

Honestly quite a bit. I was waitlisted as well! I'm not sure the exact numbers, but ik people who literally got accepted 3 days before orientation. It really depends on your cohort tho, but don't lose hope!

Hi everyone! I'm a current semester 2 student at SJSU. Feel free to ask me any questions u have about the program :)

Hi!! I have some questions about the program and it'd be great to hear your advice :)

How are students assigned to clinical sites? Is it by lottery or alphabetical order? 

Is it possible to get through the program and clinical sites without a car, and do you know how students who don't have a car manage to do so? 

And are some of the classes online or are they all taken in person? 

I know it's a lot of questions and I apologize in advance. I would love to know what your experience has been like so far as I am heavily leaning towards SJSU! Thank you!

hii!

clinical sites are usually lottery based and the order you pick is randomized. the school was weird and gave a randomly assigned sites to people one time, but they stopped doing it after 1 sem LMAO

I mean it's possible to go to clinical sites without a car, but I def do not recommend. you def need a reliable source of transport since you might have to go as far as Pleasanton or Los Gatos AND public transportation is limited during early morning clinicals. ppl who don't have a car usually carpool or uber to their sites, which can be pricy.

classes are all in person. ik skills is technically hybrid, but its mostly in person tbh. you take exams on lockdown browser, with some classes doing it on paper :||

lmk if u have any more questions!! my messages are also open if u want to know more details about da program :)))
