SDSU (San Diego State U) MSN program

Published

Anyone have any feedback about the caliber and strength of the MSN program @ San Diego State University? I would like some general information on what you all heard about the program, job placements, clinical rotations, and organization of the program. I couldn't find any information through a search so anything would be helpful!

I'm specifically looking into the women's health and or whnp/cnm program, but aside from that any information is welcome!

Thanks so much

I would also like to know about SDSU's MSN program and reputation! I am about to start at USD but already looking to transfer because the tuition is horrendous... but I already really love the staff and class setup and clinical rotations, so I might just stick it out for 4 semesters to finish with my MSN. USD allowed me to transfer into MSN from a graduate entry program in another state that I wasn't able to complete because of military relocation (though I did finish the pre-licensure and now work as an RN). I'm not sure SDSU will even consider letting me transfer since I don't have an ADN or BSN. Still, I would like to know about their programs and reputation so anyone's input would be great! BUMP! :)

so will you just be getting your masters degree or your NP degree as well at USD? I know this much---if you are already have a masters degree you might not be able to transfer into their program because they don't have a post-masters program, but if your masters is not an NP degree then that might be a option. Not sure either, tho. Hopefully someone who has graduated from this program or is a year or two into it can help!

At my previous school, I was in the NP program. I was able to transfer to USD into the MSN program for clinical nurse leader. I know that from there, I can apply to USD's NP program but not transfer in. I don't have any degree in nursing, that's the biggest problem. It was a whole ordeal just to get into USD to get a MSN. So I may stick it out at USD for this semester and next, and if SDSU allows it, transfer there in the fall to finish the MSN. If that's not possible I'll stay at USD and have to wallow in paying some hefty student loans... This semester I'm paying out of pocket and it's pretty brutal. Thank goodness I have a job.

Hey y'all! 
 

I'm JJ and I'm about to complete my application for SDSU for their AGPCNP/CNS program. I wanted to know if anyone else is also applying or has applied in the past and how the application process was going? I've been accepted to USC, but I really wanted to apply for SDSU due to the in-state tuition (I also love SD).
