First semester of Accelerated Nursing School! (ABSN) | Tips & Advice, High GPA, What I Wish I Knew!

- Hey everyone!
I officially finished my first semester of nursing school and I decided to share what my experience was like! I'm in an accelerated nursing program (ABSN) which is very different from traditional 4-year nursing programs. Accelerated programs are definitely tough and fast-paced, but it is doable! I hope this helps any pre-nursing students, CNA, LPN/LVN, or anyone who wants to do a career change into the healthcare field. It is never too late to do what you love!

Hi! My name is Ivy and I am a nursing student in an accelerated BSN program. I have experience working in dermatology and cosmetics and have performed several cosmetic treatments including CoolSculpting and Hydrafacials as well as assisted in several cosmetic procedures including fillers and botox. I hope to work in this field in the future as a registered nurse! Here I will be sharing my nursing journey, my favorite beauty products, and skincare! ♥

Congrats! I just graduated from my ABSN program 2 weeks ago! Don't give up :)
Hey please can you tell me what college you attended for your absn program and how it was ?
😅😅😅😅😅a 0:54
Thanks for your thoughts on the first semester! I'm finishing up my prerecs to start this spring!
Thank you for this video. I start my ABSN program in the Spring and need all of the tips!
Congratulations on your acceptance! I’m glad my videos can help!
so how is it going so far?
Do you have an update video !!! I’m starting mines in Jan as a current LPN and I’m so excited. I also plan to work PT in a nursing facility or anywhere. And I also have 3 little ones. So I definitely want to know your outcome. You gave me much motivation 💕💕💕
I start my ABSN program in September and I LOVED notability throughout my prereqs and undergrad and I always say the SAME thing. I got my BFF to get an iPad for the exact same reason 😂😂😂❤️ good luck to you lovey! 🥰 we got thissss
Yes Notability is great! Congrats on your acceptance to the ABSN program and good luck to you!
How can I attend the ABSN
I'm currently in my first semester of nursing school and I failed basically every midterm. When I say failed I mean from a nursing school standpoint. I'm pretty upset and nervous of being kicked out. Looking for advice but finding people doing an ABSN is really hard so thank you for this video. I don't know if I'm going to be able to recover form it unless I ace every final.
Hi there! Please don’t give up and keep going! I know this is easier said than done, but I promise it will all be worth it in the end. Accelerated programs are definitely harder than traditional programs due to the sheer amount of information overload in such a short amount of time. Definitely reach out to your instructor on any next steps that you can do to help raise your grades. Also, watch videos such as Registered Nurse RN on TH-cam for any of the topics that you are currently learning to help you understand the material. You got this! 💪🏼
@@NurseIvyRN Im struggling too, my program is very disorganized and chaotic. i hope it gets better!
@@livelovedaydream Hi, I'm applying to ABSN programs too right now, if you don't mind me asking, which school did you go to?
Im also a med asst in derm 😭🩷 and applying to ABSN literally tomorrow 😫🩷
Good job I am about to start in August I am so nervous 😓
Congratulations on getting accepted into a program! You will do great, believe in yourself :)
I highly recommend you refer to Registered Nurse RN and SimpleNursing here on TH-cam! They helped me so much with classes and studying for the NCLEX ~
What nursing school did you go to! Could you make a video about ur experience with the school?
Congratulations!!!!!
I feel like I should have gone to nursing school before COVID
Same here..
Thanks for your video. I’m about to start mine in May and I want to know if you know of any good materials I can start reading on while I’m waiting to get my mind ready for it please?
Hi Barbara!
To be completely honest with you, I would say to try and enjoy your free time as much as you can! Because once nursing school starts, you’re going to be super busy!!
If you truly want to read something on the side as a way to prepare, I would suggest reviewing your anatomy and physiology since it is the foundation for helping you understand certain topics such as pathophysiology later on. Nursing school expects you to know this already and will not re-teach A&P concepts. You’ll be ahead of the game that way :)
I have some free A&P study guides for download on my website. Hope this helps!
@@NurseIvyRN Thanks
Hi, could I ask what college you are attended for ABSN? Thank you so much
Thank you for this info. May I ask HOWLONG is the accelerated program?
Can I study ABSN if my degree is bachelor's degree in Pharmacy? Thanks!
Yes you can I just watched a video of someone that did
hi, love your stethoscope.
Thank you! 🤗
Hi ! Which program are you in? I just got into a program in Milwaukee for their Spring Cohort ‘22
hi! i’m moving to milwaukee soon, looking at absn program to do. may i ask what program you got accepted for?
Hi, I failed my first semester of my ABSN program. My program is 14 months. We had 5 weeks, and we had 3 exams and nothing else that we were graded on. The ATIs were a waste of time and a pass/fail deal. We had PowerPoints, the textbook, and lab was separate but still a pass or fail deal. I studied a lot, but now I'm worried because if I fail another class, then I'm kicked out of program. I'm not sure if I should give up now, because my professor told me only gets harder.
Hi Faiza! I’m so sorry to hear about your first semester. If you truly want to be a nurse, don’t let this be the reason that you give up. I know several people who have failed a class but still managed to pass the program. Speak to your professor and ask for ways that you can improve in the class when you retake it. Take advantage of any tutoring resources on campus (especially if the tutor took the same class already). Watch SimpleNursing and RegisteredNurseRN on TH-cam on the topics that you are having trouble with. They are tremendously helpful! Just remember that this program (especially accelerated programs) are very difficult, but you can do it!
Hi，how did you feel when you studying the prerequisite courses？I am considering ABSN too but I don't know if it would be too hard for me
Hi the prereq courses themselves were easy to moderate in difficulty. However, I am no longer in the program, I was kicked out, please don’t let my story stop you from pursuing nursing school though.
@@GoodWishestoYou I am sorry to hear that，another concern I have is that if they kick you out do you still have to pay for the tuition？I plan to apply for student loan
Super helpful!:)
Is there portage learning alternative please
Financially I can’t afford the ABSN program I’m looking into becoming an LVN I may bridge after that.
That’s perfectly fine! The beautiful thing about nursing is that there are different paths that one can take! I actually talked about this in my “How I Got Accepted Into Nursing School” video. Definitely go for whatever works best for you!
Hey would you minds talking abour your studying strategies or how you take notes or organized your notes. Also where do you find good practice questions for HA and fundamentals.
Hi Dani! I've been getting this question a lot recently, so I am planning on creating a youtube video specifically on this topic. Stay tuned!
Hi Ivy… Your ABSN Program is a hybrid program (on-line courses followed by hands-on clinicals and labs)?
What program was this called?
Tu parles français?? Si oui jai quelque question jaimerai aussi enter Dan's le program
What's the name of the online university .
There is no online you have to go in person. So your homework is online and your labs and clinical in person
I have Bachelor degree in clinical nursing
How may I apply to this program.please?.
How did you find your study style?
I don't have anyone to write me a letter of reccomendation since I graduated 9 years ago with a degree in business.
Most people work as a CNA first or in a Healthcare setting. That way you can get a good recommendation from someone who can provide examples that will be applicable to the nursing setting
Ask your employer, church or family/friends? It depends though on your school what’s acceptable?
Is there any student in your program that have children and work? If so can you ask them how are they managing and if they have any advice for suture ABSN students? I start my ABSN program this fall and I have a 4yr old and work but I am thinking of quitting. Please if there’s any students in your program that can give me some advice on how to prepare to be successful in the program. Thanks in advance and thanks for this very helpful video
Hi Jacqueline!
Yes, there are several students in my class who have a family, some even have children and are currently pregnant! The main way that they are able to make it through the program is through family support. They currently do not work because it would be too much trying to balance family time, nursing school, and work all at once. They have family members who take care of the children when they're busy with school. Overall, it seems like they try to work on school assignments early in the morning and late in the evening when the kids are sleeping. Also, they are being financially supported by family as well (at least from the few classmates that shared their experience with me). They are also relying on loans to pay for tuition. I hope this helps! Remember that many people in your very position have been able to get through the program!
The people with children in my program are absolutely struggling and I truly don't know how they do it.
To attend ABSN program do you have to go to associate nursing program first ?
It depends on the requirements for the program. Majority of the programs that I researched wanted a bachelors degree in another major.
@@NurseIvyRN Is this program available for international students?
Did you have an option to do your clinicals test be evening or night shift?
Hi! Unfortunately we did not have the option to choose the time of day or location of our clinical rotations. Some students had to drive very far away and some were lucky to have a rotation close to home. Everyone had different hours as well - it all depended on the facility and the clinical instructor’s schedule.
It's funny how the BSN is so much easier than the ADN
Really? Can you please explain? I’m almost done with my prerequisites for nursing
I am commerce graduate..can anyone guide to do Bsn. I am from India aur currently working in Dubai as a accountant. Pls guide.
Check Bellarmine university in Kentucky
Are you a filipina
Why’s she referring to the prereqs as undergraduate as if the ABSN isn’t it’s self undergraduate work as well? It’s all undergraduate.
You’re so cute 😂❤
This is still undergrad. Stop acting like this is grad school.
