NOTE: Fall admission only for the undergraduate program in Nursing. Applications must be postmarked in November for the next Fall semester. Please check the Bulletin for prerequisites.

 

The graduate of San Francisco State University's School of Nursing has an opportunity to choose from the following first level professional nursing staff positions: maternity, pediatric, geriatric, medical-surgical, psychiatric/mental health, community health, and home health care nursing. The program provides the basis for leadership and graduate education in nursing. The program is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing and is accredited by the National League of Nursing.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program offers a comprehensive curriculum that is designed to prepare graduates to practice in a variety of health care settings, including community health.

Applicants to the program are screened on the basis of selective criteria, which includes completion of eight course prerequisites. Additional criteria which improve chances of selection to the program are proficiency in a second language, experience in a health-related field, multi-cultural work experience, and under- representation in Nursing. Students with previous nursing experience may secure advanced placement through challenge examinations and transfer of credits.

The Master of Science in Nursing Program provides the graduate with substantive knowledge in an advanced area of nursing practice, prepares nurses for practice in a specialized role and provides a sound foundation for doctoral study.

The Program has four emphases: entrepreneurial leadership case management / long term care public health and community nursing or case management in primary care (FNP).

In addition, there is a certificate in Entrepreneurial Leadership and a post masters/post doctorate FNP Certificate.

The Program has three entry tracks: R.N.'s who are graduates of a B.S.N. program; R.N.'s with a baccalaureate in a field other than nursing; and graduates of a baccalaureate program not in nursing.

The programs are approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing and accredited by the National League for Nursing.
