|
|
This program is currently not accepting applications. Sonoma State University’s baccalaureate program also offers an upper-division option designed to articulate with community college Associate Degree Nursing (A.D.N.) programs. The SSU program provides upper-division education for registered nurses fostering expanded, evidence-based practice and function with increased independence and leadership in a variety of settings. R.N.s who have attended a hospital (diploma) program should contact a community college with an R.N. program to obtain equivalent credit for their diploma program (30 ungraded lower-division nursing units) and to complete the community college’s general education requirements for an A.A./A.S. degree. Admission to the Traditional Post-Licensure B.S.N. ProgramApplicants must meet the following minimum criteria. Under impaction status additional criteria may apply. See SSU Nursing website for details. - Current California licensure as a Registered Nurse. (Recent A.D.N. graduates who have not yet received California R.N. licensure but who otherwise meet admission requirements will be accepted on a conditional basis pending National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) results. Failure to pass NCLEX disqualifies the student from the nursing major – but not from the University – until such time as a passing score is obtained.);
- Sixty semester units of college-transferable credit with an overall GPA of 2.7 or better: 30 units should meet California State University general education requirements, including areas A (English Composition, Speech, and Critical Thinking) and B4 (Statistics required); 30 units must be credit for lower-division nursing coursework;
- Minimum of 3 semester units of college-transferable credit in chemistry with a grade of C or better; and
- Human anatomy and physiology within the past 10 years or direct clinical nursing experience within the past two years.
