ABSN Programs

Published

So, I'm going to apply to ABSN programs this summer. I'm hoping for spring starts. I would love to hear from those who are currently in ABSN programs or are applying as well! It's so nerve wracking to apply, and I'm always wondering about the stats of others. Hopefully this thread helps others who are worried as well!

I'm currently half way through an ABSN program (my program is 12 months, super accelerated). It's been a crazy 6 months but I've enjoyed it immensely so far. I was warned that the first 6 months were the most intense and things are beginning to lighten up as we finish our Critical Care Rotations. Prepare for a LOT of information thrown at you. The vast amount of information combined with clinical hours (we do 2 12 hour shifts/week) has definitely made this the most challenging thing I've done so far, but it's doable!

As far as stats go, my undergraduate GPA wasn't super impressive, but I did very well on the TEAS and had strong letters of recommendation.

Best of luck to you!

I applied to two programs and got into one.

The first program required hesi. I'll be honest and say my score wasn't competitive.

The program I was accepted to doesn't require Hesi. They went off GPA, pre reqs and letter of recommendation. My undergrad gpa was 3.8, mostly A's in pre reqs and I had good letters.

@asystole4 12 months is really accelerated! At least you'll be done in half a year now! How many programs did you apply to?
