Just started my 12 month ABSN program last month! It’s hard, but so rewarding. I also have 2 kids 3 and under, so it’s been hard to negotiate study time!
@@jadewright2392 it all depends on if you have help! My mom lives 25 minutes away and she comes 3 times a week to help me with my kids and my husband takes them as soon as he gets home from work. I’m doing a hybrid program, so it’s primarily online, which is how I learn the best. So far, my lowest grade has been an 87 last semester. I have finals in a week and am going into them with all A’s, so fingers crossed! You just have to schedule study time and stick to it!
I went to school to become a certified surgical technologist. Using flashcard, youtube and the white board saved my life! I bough the board from Amazon. I busted out everywhere! Repetition was my best friend. I remember writing things out on my board, reading it out-loud, erasing it and repeating it.
I'm starting a 14-month ABSN program and I AM SO EXCITED. I was so scared previously but now that I got accepted I am so ready. 978 applied, 190 got interviews, and only 36 got into the accelerated cohort. I can't believe it! Best advice??
@@setordzisylvia7401 hi girl! It really depends on the specific program you are applying too! My program was extremely competitive and the interview process was super important. To get to the interview you needed a competitive GPA in prerequisites, a competitive teas score, and they do look at overall gpa as well! However, once you get to the interview portion the interview becomes 50% of what gets you in. With teas being 35%, and gpa being the other 25%. For my program to apply, you needed a minimum overall 3.2, and minimum 3.4 prereq gpa! For the teas we needed a minimum 80! That is not guaranteed an interview though because it depends on the applicant pool! Let me know if you have any questions but i wish you luck! My best advice is to GET A’s in your prereqs because that is super important (even if your overall gpa is low your prereq gpa is more important)
@@setordzisylvia7401 just wanted to add my 2 cents lol… my school requires a 2.7 gpa or a score of 75 or higher on the HESI. To bring up your gpa take a science or math you didn’t do so good in and retake them. Any future pre reqs try your best to ace! Good luck
I start my program tomorrow and am very anxious. I loved the part of the video where you said something along the lines of it will be stressful but remember this is a small part of your career. It’s one year and you can do it ♥️
@@Elizabeth-yx5on First 2-3 weeks fo every session is stressful, more than I ever imagined. But I always try to ground myself. Remind myself why I am doing this and why it is difficult. We are dealing with lives and we want to know as much information as we can to best help them. It is very stressful don't get me wrong but going to clinical has really put things in perspective.
I’ve made a decision and got accepted into ADN-RN, since I already have bachelors and masters in Epidemiology earned overseas,ABSN was twice as much… and you can always get your BSN later within few months and online… and a lot of employers will pay for it. I hope its going to work out.
Depends on what kind of A-BSN I'm in a 3 year accelerated BSN program. This means we go to school year round, but your pre-reqs are included in the 3 years. I will actually graduate in just under 3 years because I transferred credits from community college.
I don't think that would be considered a traditional ABSN program. ABSN program typically means you already completed your Bachelor's degree in a discipline other than nursing. ABSN nurses will be getting their second Bachelors's after the completion of their program. Though the route you're taking is accelerated, it isn't an ABSN program.
We have the same pre nursing science bachelor's 🙂😊 and same story of being rejected from programs but mine was after for an direct entry NP program. So working in my BSN now. Thank you for your content
Hello! I actually am in an accelerate nursing program now and didn’t need a previous bachelors degree. I also didn’t need prerequisites they had them offered at my school as well. Great video though :)
@@elizaleke8373 just to add in what I’ve learned recently. GCU allows you to do an ABSN as long as you have 60 or more credits that are transferable and do not need a bachelors.
I get NO BREAKS in between, I can't retain anything, my med surg professor can't teach for shEt. She teaches from ATI & creates a test around nothing she teaches. I hate 😒 it here.... it's my 5th week of Med Surg and I am struggling with a D. I just purchased your complete nursing guide book yesterday and I am praying it helps
Hey GAL.Just bumped to your channel.Its really informative and insightful.Can you please,do a video on accelerated nursing programmes for international people outside US who dont have any nursing background but want to do a nursing programme in overseas and if there any scholarships on the same?Will appreciate your feedback
I start my 12 month program June 10,2024.. I am a llittle nervous but I've been in healthcare for 6 years as a PCT in the ICU, so I hope it will be somewhat familiar!
That's so exciting! It's normal to be nervous, but since you already have healthcare experience, I'm sure you will find it useful along the way. You got this! 💛
i am starting a 3 year BSN program and have NO college credits whatsoever. or any healthcare exp. they are incorporating prereqs into the program. so no prior exp or credits/degree is necessary at all. of course, there are programs out there that sill differ, but most BSN programs in denver are like this. so look around for options
Thanks for this video! I was recently accepted into an ABSN program but the cost is scaring me. Do you have a link to scholarships and other financial resources for ABSN students? Thanks again!
NursingInTheMaking I Jessica Walker had a zoom class today in counseling 12 at 8:30a.m. to 11:30a.m. and since I had all of my book and card that had this code on it I sent a email to my professor to show that I had everything and my grade is 100. every Friday from June 25, to July 30, 2021 a 6 weeks course.
I have a question, I’m a veteran and also a CMA. I wasn’t told that I had to have a bachelors. I’m just gonna be starting. So for veterans I don’t think you need a bachelors to do this.
Dr Eddie was a brilliant tutor, that had a great ability to make even the most difficult part of the course feel manageable. Also, as he gave us his contact details, it was reassuring to know I could reach out to him if needed. The online portal with the videos and practice questions was another invaluable resource.Here is his WhatsApp link wa.link/ajh8t4
Thank you so much for such an informative video! You went through so many of the same questions I had. 1 question I have left unanswered is how can i pay for an ABSN program if i have kids and depend on 2 incomes and not eligible for any federal loans? Loans like Sallie Mae are a no- no matter what! Thanks again! 💖
Thank you for the video, it is very informative. I also majored in Nutrition for my first undergrad and I want to become a nurse now☺️ your video really helped answer a lot of my questions🤍
Hi there! This actually entirely depends on the program you’re applying to & the university or college! If you already have a Bachelor of Science, it may be a smoother transition. You can ALWAYS switch paths and apply, it just depends on the program’s allowance for transfer of credits if that makes sense. I hope you’re able to get some answers by reaching out to the specific places you’re applying to and speaking with an advisor or admissions counselor on what would transfer and work best for you. I hope this helps! 🙂 Kristine
this is all so true!! I myself is in an accelerated program also working part-time & saving up so I can just FOCUS on next semester coz it will get too much w/ life & if still working. I was able to credit some of my University grades as well (was in scholarship :-) for business management
Hi, I want to be a nurse practitioner. Since it is harder to maintain a high GPA in an accelerated BSN program, would you recommend I take a longer, not condensed program instead?
Thank you so much for your question! Since your GPA is calculated based on your prerequisites and any other courses taken along with your nursing courses, you may want to meet with an advisor to discuss this in greater detail. It would also be a good idea to have several ideas of NP schools along with their admission requirements so you can best be advised to meet the requirements of those pathways. Best of luck on your nursing journey! I know you can do this! 💛
Am doing my research for school for an Absn, am from Nigeria ,i came across university of Pennsylvania, south Dakota state university and university of Missouri!!! Dont know which to choose, can i get any hints
Hi!!!! Glad to see your coment , I had revalued my degree as BsN from Argentina to USA to RN. Actually I am living in Az . HOW CAN TAKE THE accelerated BSN program?( because I don’t pass my enclex yet , I just revalued my career as Rn ) could you help me with some information pls ?
Hi , May I know the average cost of studying accelerated nursing degree in usa? I’m looking for cheaper colleges (community colleges?) with any scholarship; I am 39 years old, Canadian citizen, pursued masters in Biotechnology and Masters in Public health in Canada and have been working in clinical trials for more than 11 years in canada but I am always fascinated about nursing; if you could let me know some community colleges in US that would offer accelerated bachelor nursing be great help!
Hi I am a licensed registered nurse in Ghana with a year post graduation experience. I hold a Bachelor of Science Nursing degree with First class Honours with CGPA 3.82 out of 4.0.

Please if there is any program for me, kindly let me know so I apply right away for January 2022. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you.
Hi Kristine, I Jessica Walker will be going to Santa Monica College I will be taken 1 class which is couseling 12 and I'm thinking about my major being nursing. So I would like to keep in touch
Am thinking of doing the program because I couldn't get into the 4 years nursing program so now am unsure what to major in. What do you think will be the best major
