Brandman University ABSN Program

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi All,

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 ?

Thanks in advance.

@Dc117 Congratulations! Looks like we will be in the same cohort.

Just waiting for my transcripts to be mailed in! I hope that I get accepted into the program. Seems very ideal.

Is anyone plan to work while doing the program?

Also, is anyone planning to move there? I live in LA and would have to find housing.

I’m planning to go to school full time and just bite the bullet and use a loan to help me. I’m also planning on moving to San Diego if I get accepted lol.

I’m probably going to be per diem while I’m school, just have to work and save before starting the core courses. ?

Hello,

I am applying now as well. Do you guys know what the pre req courses are before starting the actual RN courses? I am currently a LVN and have all my pre reqs done for community schools. Any advice or details?? Maybe we will all be in the same cohort! ?

@619nurse from the information that I gathered from the ABSN Webinar, BU has a list of 52 general education core requirements before you can move onto the nursing core. If your pre-reqs are done from community schools, then you may have a better chance at moving on to completing solely the nursing core. I heard their first round of clinicals are set for Summer 2020! All their pre-reqs are on the BU website.

I just got word that my application is currently under review. So I am patiently waiting for an update! Fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone else applying!
