About Bs In Nursing (adn-bsn) in San Francisco State University

The ADN-BSN Program is a collaborative model for academic progression in Nursing between San Francisco State University's School of Nursing and designated California Community College (CCC) partners. This program is designed for students who meet General Education and community partner degree requirements to earn both ADN and BSN degrees in two and a half years through full-time study. Admission to this program is concurrent with the admission to the Associate Degree Nursing Program (ADN) at the College of San Mateo and City College of San Francisco (CCSF). The curriculum allows credit for some previous coursework and with transcript evaluation and may provide up to 20 units for successfully passing the nursing licensure exam (NCLEX) for the State of California.  After successful admission to both the ADN and ADN-BSN program, the students will be taking extra classes during the semester and summer. After completion of the ADN program, passing of the NCLEX exam and one last full-time semester in the ADN-BSN Program, the student will receive a BSN degree from San Francisco State University School of Nursing.
