Me too, I emailed them about it and they didn't really give me any answers. They just told me to wait until mid-April for admission notices to come out.

Oh wow. They haven’t even emailed me back yet. I emailed them on 3/30. Admission notices already came out for most, so is there more coming out but in batches?

Ugh I don’t understand why they structured it like this. It’s really dimmed my spirits that’s for sure.

If anyone is still wondering, I was accepted into the SFSU nursing program and my application changed from my backup major to Nursing in the student portal.

Has anyone received or heard anything from SFSU in regards to the next steps for Nursing students or a welcome aboard package of any kind?

Hi! For everyone who got in, may you please share your stats? My stats are: 4.0 GPA, 92.0% TEAS, and 295 paid experience hours, but I got rejected ?

I got in, and my stats were 4.0 GPA, 94.0 TEAS, local, AS degree, veteran, and no experience hours.

Hi everyone,

I haven't seen one yet, but I made a facebook group for the upcoming Fall BSN cohort. Feel free to join, get to know your soon-to-be peers, and ask any questions you have about admissions, the school, etc!

Hi everyone! I also received an acceptance and I'm just wondering if any of you have any input/advice for choosing between SFSU's nursing program and CSULB's nursing program as I got accepted to both and I'm curious if anyone knows of any pros or cons of either. I'm leaning towards CSULB but I'm unsure.

Hello, I got accepted into the ELMSN and I would 100% chose SFSU. SFSU will host clinicals at some of the best hospitals in CA like UCSF and SF General. I think you would receive a more diverse education. I went to SFSU for my undergrad and I love the campus and the schools mission. Attending SFSU will allow you to experience current world health problems first hand for example, drug addiction, fast growing old aging population, and health care neglect due to homelessness.

Hello,

I know this thread is from last year, but if anyone that's already in the program sees this please respond. I am applying for fall'23 and I need information about the SFSU program to decide between SJSU and SFSU. I live in san jose but I am willing to move to SF just because the program is only 2 years (SJSU is 2.5 yrs). Is the program good? What is the clinical like? What hospitals? how about preceptorship?

Hi, I got accepted into sfsu for fall 2023 and was just wondering if you can provide any insight into the program because I can't really find any information. I'm trying to decide between sfsu and sjsu and I'm having trouble ? Can you please tell me how your experience has been so far at sfsu's nursing program? How are clinicals like? Do you get a preceptorship and if so, do you get to pick which specialty? Do you like the instructors? What does the first semester's schedule look like? Anything would help!!

@kittykat563
Currently in BSN program. Please let me know if there is any specific information you want to know. I am happy with the program so far. Someone said there is no dedicated pharmacology class and they are correct that the onus is really put on us to learn it on our own. The trade-off is that it is a two-year program as opposed to a 2.5 and 3 yr program which made it worth it to me. SFSU and SJSU have similar NCLEX pass rates so no differences there. I am happy with my clinical sites so far as they have me at Stanford and Moutain View, which is nice on my commute times as I'm currently living in SJ. You don't have to move if you do not want to as I know plenty of people in my cohort with a 45+ minute commute. The school will give you a preceptorship in your 4th semester, and you will be able to put in a "wish list" of specialties (except for Peds unless you're an ELM) and/or clinical sites. You make not get what you wanted on your wishlist, but the last cohort did say that the majority of them got something on their wishlist. You do not have to "find" a preceptor as some nursing school horror stories may have said.
Hope this helps with your decision. I was also accepted into SJ and had to make the same choice you are making now. Bottom line is that both schools are great and will make you into a great nurse!
