Nursing Students School Programs

Hello! Just wanted to start this thread to see if anyone else has applied to CNR's ABSN program for the Spring or Summer 2018 start!

Has anyone else applied to the summer cohort?

So i was in the accelerated but failed a class by less than 1 point(clinical class) and had to retake it. For this i was moved from the accelerated program into the individualized program. I was in my 3rd seems out of the 5. So i was allowed to retake only the medsurg class in a semester with no other clinical class. If you fail twice, you get kicked out. You only have one chance of repeating a class in the entire program. You have to learn before school begins. Try and get a syllabus before school vacates just to have an upper hand. It is sad when instead of graduating in 2018, you get to graduate in 2019 because of a number less than 1.

Thank you for sharing! If I may ask, was the workload too overwhelming?

Yeah it is overwhelming and you have to learn on your own. Most prof read PowerPoints and the rest is up to you to find your way to pass. I am a very good student so i still couldn't believe i failed that class. It is very risky because everyone can fail. You need to solve a lot of questions too. It is no joke at all. I took like 7 classes with clinical inclusive. Nursing school isn't about how smart you are but who remembers what they learnt in the exams room. As i said you need to start learning before school reopens

Understood, this is very good, real advice. Would you say you feel this way because of the way CNR's program is structured? Just trying to get a feel for what people think about their programs but from my understanding so far, no matter what program, many have said that they had to teach themselves. It all sounds so scary, but not discouraging at least.

From when i stepped foot in there it's been like that. It's like you have to teach yourself to get through the school. At times i think if you in a regular program where you have months vacation, you can learn before school reopens and i realised That after i had to repeat the class but then also people make it through the fast track so just make up your mind and let God help you because it isn't an easy thing to get yourself into. Let your passion be your motivation and you can do it. I relaxed way too much because i felt i knew it all or am smart. So it's like never underestimate any exams no matter how preparers you are till the semester is over. Make sure in every exam/quiz you get at least a 90%. This is the only way you can save yourself in case the final exam doesn't go well(since it's cumulative and like 18-40) , then the 90's you got earlier on the quizzes make up for you. The Hesi is difficult and now it's been switched to ATI which is far worse so make your 90'ss. I am talking from experience so don't relax at all

Wow thank you!! Sounds super intense. We just all have to go into it with a very positive mindset and like you said, use passion as our motivation.

Which classes are you taking?

Is it too late to apply for Fall 2018? CNR said that admission is on a rolling basis but I saw that most of you applied from Oct-Nov. Also, what is needed to apply? Do we have to take the TEAS?

Hi all,

I have been on the sidelines all along looking in. I applied to the second degree program in December and received my acceptance email today for the summer cohort! I am very excited and can't wait to meet my fellow classmates.
