Published

I was looking for a thread about GMU's 2022 ABSN cohort but there isn't one yet. Anyone else applying for entry this fall?

Anyone on the waitlist hear back yet?

Hello friends!

I have a different case than most people here and needed some advice. I'm interested in applying to GMU ABSN Spring/Fall 2023. I graduated with a B.S. in Gerontology in California with cumulative 3.6 GPA. My parents are stationed in the area and I just finished school in CA since we were previous residents and stationed there. I finished all my core and nursing pre-reqs at my local CSU. I've just been having trouble getting accepted to CA nursing programs the past 2 years since they are pretty cut-throat and need the best of the best grades/experiences.

I have experience working/shadowing in plenty senior livings here in NorCal, volunteering at an ED & TNU, and worked as a medical assistant for a couple months.  I was just curious to know the stats of those who were accepted to the ABSN. I've been having trouble looking for forums for this school and the next info session is all the way in September 2022, so I'm looking for any advice anyone has before I make the big move to VA.

These are the questions I have:

1. Does GMU require the TEAS or the HESI? I haven't seen any info on their website.

2. Does the ABSN program accept students for Spring? Or does everyone have to apply first to the school and then to the nursing program for fall?

3. Has anyone else taken their core and nursing pre-reqs out of state like me? Will I be considered out of state even if my parents are considered VA residents for the past 5 years?

4. Is anyone familiar with the Ch 35 Veterans Disability benefit or utilized it before? I was recently qualified for it and was wondering if GMU accepts this VA benefit entirely with full tuition paid for.

1) neither are required. 
2) there is only one class per year, which enters in the fall. 
3/4) I don’t know, but the registrar’s office is pretty responsive, if you wanted to ask about residency and VA. There are also facebook groups with more current and recent students who might know. They did not seem to care where pre-reqs were from, just that they were completed with a C+ or higher and within a few years.

I would think you’d be considered a VA resident, as long as you submit a copy of your parents military orders. My husband is military and I was able to claim VA residency from him. I also completed my first degree and several pre-requisites in another state and didn’t have any problems. The transfer credit matrix is helpful if you want to double check. 
For chapter 35- I’d contact the GMU office of military services ?

Mason is ABSN fall only. It is test free like most schools. Nursing pre reqs are defined. I am sorry. I threw my back out. I’m not sure I’ll be a nurse. I can barely walk.

Good morning, everyone!

I just applied for the ABSN 2023, and would like to know if GMU has HESI exit exam, and who will be doing the pinning during the ceremony( whether a person of your choice or a faculty member).

Thank you and good luck with everything!
