@Caligirl85 can you please tells me some pros and cons about evening? I would want morning but your making it sound like evening is better. Thanks!

It doesn’t necessarily mean a good or bad thing. It really just means they’re missing paperwork from you.

See that’s what I’m telling myself because I don’t want to get my hopes up. However, what’s the point in asking about immunization paperwork if my points aren’t good enough. Seems like a waste of time for both parties to inquire about them.

Yes! That's what I was just about to ask. But either way I'm glad it's not mon-fri. It's only 3 days a week with either? @Caligirl85

You’ll usually have 1-2 papers per semester I believe one semester there was about 3-4 but they aren’t terribly hard ? I really hope you all find out soon I can’t imagine what your going through waiting until April was hard enough for me as a alternative.
Also so you don’t have clinical rotations at paradise valley hospital I read someone asked earlier in the discussion.
clinicals are usually
UCSD
Kaiser
Sharp
Alvarado
Scripps
Navy Base
i belive thats it for the hospital rotations day and evening varies in clinical rotations.
I’m graduating next week and my recommendation is to take evening/weekend based off of my experience. You will find it’s not truly evening classes until second year from 5-7pm it’s a great program and if you asked me if I would take evening or day I would choose evening also my sister graduated here too and she switched from day to evening ☺️

From what I’ve heard from the professors, they’re changing the schedule so it’s not going to be that late anymore for evening/weekend. That’s still pending Dr. Schroder’s approval though!

The hospitals that are used for clinical, are they all spread out or are they mostly located in south San Diego? @themostcorrectanswer @Caligirl85

Well I know where ucsd and naval hospital are located but the others have multiple locations.

Caligirl85 · May 14, 2019

The furthest one for me was UCSD they are more southern San Diego based.

If I remember correctly the first year I think we went three times a week and second semester one day a week for class and one day for clinicals.

It’s the professors that makes the difference ? Day has good professors but some professors give reviews for exams and others don’t in evening I’ve never not had a test review that’s the biggest difference.

I have another question. Did either of you take any classes at sdsu? I thought I heard that it is possible to take a class or 2 during your second semester at SDSU to work towards your BSN. Is that true?

LiveYourDreams · May 14, 2019

One can take 3 classes at SDSU while you are a SWC student.

If you do NOT have a prior Bachelor's degree: you can only take one class per term and you have to be taking 6 credits at SWC in order to co-enroll. This means summer may not be a possibility. You can start as early as your first term. You pay SWC prices (super cheap). There are 9 SDSU classes and study abroad (if you meet all the University graduation class requirement, most who went to school in CA do).

If you DO have a prior Bachelor's degree: You have to enroll in the classes through the College of Extended studies and there is minimum SWC credit requirement. Classes will be around $1000 each because you do not get the co-enrollment price. Also, your BSN at SDSU will be at graduate student prices. There are 6 nursing classes to take, you are expempt from study abroad and other requirements.

I didn’t go to SDSU I’m going to Cal State Fullerton however, my friends chose SDSU and they have one semester left after they graduate for bsn so yes you can do both.

When you say graduate student prices, what do you mean?
