Important - Mandatory Nursing Program Information Session for Applicants
Applicants must attend a mandatory Nursing Program Information Session (NPIS) held every first Wednesday of the month from August through January. The sessions begin promptly at 5:40 pm and last until 7:00 pm. Latecomers are not admitted and must reschedule a reservation. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST that as soon as you identify an interest in the CSM Nursing program that you attend an NPIS. NPIS will confirm what you must do to apply for the program and be a competitive applicant!  Reservations to attend an NPIS are required. Please call the Nursing Department at 650-574-6218 to make a reservation. Applicants are cautioned that satisfaction of all criteria qualifies them only for consideration for admission to the program and in no way guarantees admission to the Nursing Program. Because the number of applications greatly exceeds the staff and facilities which the program can provide, admission is by random selection for qualified applicants. Applicants who have not completed the required courses or who have courses in progress will NOT be considered for admission to the program.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT – ROOM CHANGE FOR NPIS: NURSING PROGRAM INFORMATION SESSIONS FOR OCTOBER 1, NOVEMBER 5, DECEMBER 3, AND JANUARY 7 WILL BE HELD IN BUILDING 18, ROOM 204.
