I overheard a convo that from the summer they had 26 deposits and about 15 floating acceptances... so these classes are going to be much smaller than I thought. I guess everybody does everything together??? If that's the case, I guess we're gonna be getting pretty close. I think it's a tough schedule... like 8-5 every day or along those lines.
Hoping taking mass transit in from the east side of Newark is better than driving through the west side. Yeesh. Talk to you soon!!!
Hi! The ABSN is a cohort program, meaning you are scheduled for classes with your "group" so you do not get to choose your schedule. Classes are generally 3 full days per week. You have to be available all week for clinicals, but that does not mean you will be in class all week. It is an
intense program, so there is lots of reading and studying. Classes tend to study in groups, socialize, etc. It is a great way to do your nursing degree because there is a lot of peer support.

. I've been stressing about the program and whether I'm going to be able to hold a part-time job
. I can't wait to meet everyone on Aug. 19th at orientation. Is anyone purchasing the Palm PDA before we start or are you all waiting?
). The bookstore was the size of my living room and had like 2 of each book. I'm still unsure as to where we are suppsoed to be going on orientation day but i'll figure it out. I also wanted to get my ID done, but I got lost and I'm just gunna wait until orientation. I live in Woodbridge so I'm about 20-30 mins from campus. Talk to you soon
