I'm wondering if any one has heard of Brandman University. They have a new ABSN program in San Diego, CA that i'm looking into. My grades are not competitive but i want to get into my career soon.
Has anyone been to this school, and if so, how did you like it? Do you think I'll be able to land a good job as an RN if I were to apply and attend? I'm nervous, since it is a new program! Such as, what if they end up closing and the degree won't be valid ?
@619nurse thank you so much for sharing! I really hope that my application gets accepted!! I don’t have a nursing background but have been in the healthcare field for the last 10 years. Looks like you have really strong letters of recommendations, hoping my letters of recommendations are not too bad! Not sure what to think I’ll just hope for the best! Thank you for sharing!!
I don’t see the purpose in admitting a bunch of students for a bachelors in nursing that already have bachelors degree in something else over someone actually trying to get a 1st degree. ESP when there is numerous programs for a nurse/or those with a bachelors degree to apply to the direct entry-masters of nursing programs. Or the LVN-RN bridge programs designed to complete a their BSN degree. When schools take students that have a 2nd degree in another field over someone trying to get a 1st degree done it is counterproductive. Schools are basically making it impossible for a student to simply just go into a program without wasting time and money on a pointless secondary degree. They should just make all programs now state, admission (go get any degree in something you never plan to utilize and spend 4+ years doing it, then apply to get another bachelors degree in nursing and it will only take you 2.5 years, hopefully?) of course that’s if you only did all pre-requisites at the very end of your first pointless degree and they don’t hopefully expire before any nursing program you apply to actually takes you. I love love love how classes “expire” what a joke! To be frank, classes don’t change in course content. The need to update these course is unnecessary and just a ploy to limit applicants into programs. I’ve taken Microbiology 10 years ago and again 6 months ago. Different universities and they were pretty much identical. I think I might have worked on a different microbe or yeast than a decade ago. The labs and lecture hadn’t updated so dramatically that I felt leaving I learned anything new. Hence the A and the second A grade. I remember a university that Freshman English expired. I literally, said “ seriously you want a repeat on freshman English, it’s the 1st course you take?” How do you not just utilize a current more advanced English from transcripts then. I really wish schools would have the same identical criteria across the board and stop jerking everyone around to waist time and credits.
To continue: ... get LBSU 302& 304 waived? As I did see this posted on their website: "LBSU 302 Information Fluency and Academic Integrity and LBSU 304 Liberal Arts Core Foundations are waived for all bachelor degree holders from another regionally accredited institution."
Hi! Did you take stats yet? I took bio medical stats at national university and wonder if they are gonna take this course. I have my academic counseling appointment next Tuesday.
@619nurse yes I took Stats. I am hoping that they accept it! There is probably no difference and National University is accredited! So hoping that they do ?
This is strange I just called the admission office. I applied for Summer 2020 back in November 2019 the admission office lady told me my application was forward on April 3 in the Deans office. She said I should get a reply back by the end of this week or call early Monday. I’m confuse at the same time my enrollment counselor told me I’m on priority waitlist, don’t know what that means. I never received and email or mail of acceptance or denial.
