Concordia University Irvine ABSN Summer 2013

[SG12]

Hello, is anyone planning on applying for Concordia's ABSN summer '13 program? Applications are due in just a few weeks! I am working on getting everything in my application ready to go and turned in as soon as possible.

Congrats everyone who got accepted! I received an acceptance email yesterday around 3 as well. It states I have until the 22nd to accept. Just as matt831 mentioned, I'm assuming as people decline, they'll be notifying others. Good luck to those still waiting!

Hey, I was in group h. nd yes let's get on fb! Has anyone found and good info from others who have graduated? I've only found a few comments from graduates describing their experience

matt831: I was only able to find a few comments from past students, mostly about the schedule--looks like our days will be pretty packed, with daily classes/skills lab and clinicals one day a week. I heard the online classes we have to take are pretty straightforward, but just require a lot of reading.I couldn't find any past posts about this, but I'm wondering whether graduates have had difficulties finding jobs upon graduation. Since this program is only 12 months, would employers think it's too rushed and prefer 4-year BSN nurses?

ok so I attempted to make a Facebook group. So if you would like to join, search for-

It's a "closed" group for more privacy so I will add you when I get the requests :)

You can also send me a private message on this site with your email and I can add you to the group that way too.

Congrats to those who have been accepted. Good luck sent your way from cohort 9. Enjoy the time off before the fun begins.

afractaluniverse, we should keep looking for more testimonies. I would really like to get some first hand accounts before we get started. I'm not sure about getting a job later down the road. However I would think that a BSN will still stand out among peers. Often from what I hear, we will have to work in a less than ideal job in order to gain experience, work our way into where we find more satisfying. Only time will tell

SG12: I searched that title exactly in facebook, nothing popped up. Because I'm new to this website I can't personal message. Is the FB page working?

[cubanrob]

Personally, I have seen many Concordia grads at most of my clinical sites. From what I seen and the people I have talked to Concordia grads are not having that difficult of a time finding jobs.

Thanks cubanrob! Can you tell us anything about how the program is so far, in terms of workload, helpfulness of professors, and just your overall experience?

[matt831]

anyone else able to find the FB group?

Cubanrob, please share your knowledge with us :)
