UNE Accelerated BSN

Published

Just wondering if there are any people applying for the new ABSN program at University of New England in Portland Maine. I am also interested in knowing if there are any current/past students who could comment on the nursing department at UNE (likes vs. dislikes, intructors/preceptors, etc.) Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Are you originally from Maine? Yes SCU is in California. I will definitely let you know.

Yes I am from Maine. I live just outside of Portland. If you need any information about the area let me know. Its nice in the summer but winters can be a little challenging.

I read on the website that classes start in Dec 16, 2011. My acceptance letter says for Spring 2012. I'm wondering when the actual start day is.

I think orientation is the first day or maybe two. After that I think classes start up in January with a few classes online and another one on campus. Take a look at the curriculum and it shows the courses there. Not sure about your acceptance letter. Maybe UNE is just considering it Spring because its so close anyway??

This is what I found out so far. Orientation is December 16th and classes start December 19th-January 13th (Winter Session-Semester I). Spring Session-Semester II starts January 18th-May11th with spring break (March 19-23).

As of now I decided to accept UNE's offer. I'm scared though it's a big move for me since I live in California and also not knowing anybody :( I am waiting to hear back from the other schools.

I am sure there will be some other people in the same boat as you. Maybe not from the West coast but some will be from out of state knowing nobody. You will meet your classmates and make many friends. I think you will like your decision to attend UNE. Its a diverse area with many things to do in your free time. Hope this helps!!
