Overview
Career outlook
Employers hire BSN-prepared RNs for roles requiring expanded leadership, community-health, and evidence-based-practice competencies, and many hospitals require the BSN for advancement.
Getting in
What California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt asks for, taken from its own admissions page.
No pre-licensure BSN: Cal Poly Humboldt offers only a part-time RN to BSN (and an ADN-to-BSN concurrent enrollment option with North Coast community colleges). Catalog listing (https://catalog.humboldt.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=14&poid=8398) requires an ADN from a regionally accredited program or enrollment in the concurrent program, an active unrestricted California RN license, cumulative GPA 2.75, and the eight CSU systemwide nursing prerequisites with C or better; about 25 students per cohort, roughly 21 months. Applications go through Cal State Apply for fall; catalog page returned empty on fetch so figures come from its search listing.
