San Diego State University is a child of the California State University system and one of the oldest of the CSU family, having opened its doors in 1897.

Away from the classrooms, the public research university is intentional in sharpening its students’ research and creative skills. This is evident through the nursing school’s very equipped simulation facilities, skills lab, and even study abroad programs.

There are nursing programs for everyone here, including bridge programs for licensed vocational nurses and registered nurses, to a BSN program for students just dipping their feet into the world of nursing.

However, the bridge programs here seem to just stand out for lower-level nurses that want to build better career prospects.
