Hey There! Has anyone applied to Dominican College for the ABSN 2015-2016. I have heard mixed reviews and wanted to know if anyone had any information on the program. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 29, 2014 by tk2015 2,055 Visitors; 11 Posts I applied there for the May 2015 start even though I've also read the mixed reviews. I went ahead because I know 2 people who have graduated from the program--one from the day ABSN program and another from the traditional BSN program. Both say that it's tough and faculty will cut students (or will place students into the traditional program) who aren't performing well, but it's very doable. My friend who completed the ABSN said that he would do the program again, which I take as a good sign. I know that the NCLEX pass rate isn't very high, but it looks like the school is being proactive about helping students prepare and study. It's a very fast program, even for an accelerated one--with all the holidays and breaks, it's closer to 11 months than 12 months. Dominican produces a lot of nurses and I bet the quality varies from person-to-person. I pay attention to bad online reviews, but I take them with a grain of salt because people are more likely to air their grievances rather than sing praises :) Good luck if you have applied! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm reading so many negative reviews here, I'm having doubts to going here... Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 28, 2015 by Gksk 332 Visitors; 9 Posts How much was your time commitment here - including clinicals? Could you have imagined working full-time while attending DC? Did you get a lot of support from the department? How much is the tuition including "hidden fees?" 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
