South Dakota State University ABSN

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi,

I am interested in applying to the South Dakota State University ABSN program. However, whenever I google the program, the only thing that comes up are some advertising sites, the school site, accreditation sites, and one or two general ranking websites (i.e. U.S. News). When I search this forum, the program barely comes up, compared to other ABSN programs that get a lot of posts (which seems a little alarming). The program seems reputable based on its ranking (top 100 in U.S. News) and accreditation. But, I wanted to hear from people that have gone through their nursing program or are from the area. I also want to hear from nurses from other states. What do you think my chances would be of getting a nursing career in another state (i.e. Texas), especially in a competitive field? Many of you might say go to a program, in the state where you want to work. But, this program is one of the few affordable programs for ABSN programs.

Contact the University. ND and SD are good states to work as the quality of life is good and the Cost of living in lower.

I earned my BSN in Virginia, but tool the NCLEX in Nebraska. It makes no difference.

ABSN anywhere is fine as long as it is accredited and you get a good GPA. If you plan to go to grad school the GPA is HUGE.
