I am a nursing major and I feel this is one of the best public BSN schools in the state. I have heard reviews from other state schools, and Sac State nursing is a far more intensive program. The teachers are very knowledgeable, inspiring, and available to students. We have Simulation labs that are state-of-the-art in a mock hospital setting. All students experience practice and perfection before being thrust into a patient room. Sac State Nursing also has the most clinical hours including a 4th semester preceptor-ship in the area of your choosing (Labor and Delivery, NICU, Emergency, ICU, etc.).
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
For me it is a long drive, but it is worth it. I don't know how much an older, married student fits in with the overall school demographic. I find it hard to relate to others at this school due to the age/lifestyle differences.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I rate this as fair. CSUS is cheaper than private and university, but the cost of going to school keeps increasing and the financial aid isn't.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
For nursing, this program has a very competitive application process. It's best to take your prerequisites at a community college and be sure to get a 4.0!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I know I will have a great career when I graduate. I feel well prepared to start practicing as an RN. Many of the graduates of this program are getting interviews and jobs faster than any other school in the area. We are well-prepared to extend our education after obtaining the Bachelors degree.
