SF State Nursing Program, Spring 2017

Hello all! I am new to this forum and had a lot of questions about the application process for nursing school, specifically SF state's program.

I'm planning on applying to their Spring 2017 program, but have heard mixed reviews about it. Is there anyone currently in their nursing program that can shed any light on it? I've heard that it's very difficult to get classes, making it almost impossible to finish the program in the advertised 2 years (takes more like 3 years). I've also heard that due to the high demand of classes and lack of availability, students end up transferring out.

My current GPA is 3.57 and I scored a 81.3% on the TEAS. I also work as a Medical Assistant for 4 years now, ranging in different types of specialties/clinics. My grades aren't as competitive as what I would like it to be, but I'm hoping that my work experience makes up for it. Should I retake my TEAS test to try and get a higher score?

If you're applying to the program, put your stats below!

Thank you all for your input!

    I'm also interviewing tomorrow in the morning. I wonder how many days of interviews there will be? Kinda scary that for fall 2016, over 600 applied and they only accepted 29

    hey @sysl do u have any other experience like work or volunteering? Bilingual?

    I have about the same stats as yout and am hoping that they're letting in ppl with not so perfect scores in this round to test out what it would be like :yes: I checked their NCLEX pass rates and it's such a weird trend

    Hey! & yeah! I've volunteered at Kaiser Permanente since May and it's still ongoing :) I also speak Chinese as well! Me too! Hopefully they do; I've been hearing that they might be weighing TEAS more this semester, but it might just be a rumor I heard haha Fingers crossed! :D

    I probably won't bring any resumes. I figure that since this is for school and not a job, it wouldn't be necessary. Im pretty sure that they would have told us what to bring because this process is primarily brand new to most of us. We know what to expect in a job interview but how are we to know for a school interview. But this is only my opinion. Good luck everyone.

    Hey @FighterJets, thanks for your input. If you wouldn't mind me asking, what is your source for that number? I recently asked a member of SFSU Nursing faculty the same question and was told a different number.
