Lehman's Accelerated Program

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey all,

Here you'll find specifics about Lehman's Accelerated Program. The stuff they don't address during orientation, very little, if any, about professors and the same as for my opinion. I'll go pre-program and then semester-by-semester. Drop questions below if there are any.

Hi! For patho did the professor post the lecture slides on blackboard the semester you took it? She will not post them this semester.

She did. Before class. Perhaps a new professor? What are the initials?

Strange because she put them up like I said. Perhaps she's turned a new leaf. PM me and I'll provide you a link on Monday

Hi TheUnseenButSeeing, thank you for posting all this information. Although I am not in the Accelerated Program, I feel like I am not able to be on top of all the assigned readings for my classes. There is a lot to read and I am worried how the exams are going to be like for NUR 301 (Lecture), NUR 300 and NUR 344. Like you said, they will be administered on blackboard and there is no way to know, what you got wrong in the exam as the professors won't discuss them in class. So, would you please tell me how did you prepare for the exams. To me, there is a lot of material that is being covered for each class and I don't understand what I should really focus on. For example, in NUR 344 - how would the exam be like? Are they are multiple choice types and be based on clinical scenarios or more direct definitions of topics? Are powerpoints helpful for studying or are they just an outline? For NUR 301 Lec - what material should we expect to be tested for exam? Will there be any reviews before an exam?

Thanks.

Ok. I'm back to quickly finish out this thread.

Summer

Med-Surg 2 (409): The topics listed on the syllabus will most likely be on the exam but here are the caveats. Exam 1: All topics listed in the previous 3 weeks AND tons of questions on "End of Life." See the folders on the course to find the notes about EOL. Exam 2: Emergency Nursing, Burns, Acute trauma, chest trauma and shock are NOT covered on this exam but there are tons of questions on Pain Management. Those topics are fair game for the final and exit exam. The exit exam consists of 150 questions and it'll be the NCLEX simulation. You'll have 3 hours to complete the exam. The final is the week after the exit exam and you'll know the format by then. Pretty much everything you've covered. You MAY have one clinical day AFTER the final exam. Again, preparing you for the worst possible scenario.

Leadership (410): 2 papers and 2 exams. The class is doable and there are plenty of tips about getting hired. Pay attention to the stuff about QI and QM.

Sorry if the info about summer is sporifice.

Lastly, stuff to do to register for the NCLEX. You can definitely do this stuff before the program is finished and you don't need notification from the school. That way you can hit the ground running. You'll get authorization to test about 4-5 weeks after the official graduation date which will probably be September 1st. If you're looking to take the test ASAP. I'd say don't get your hopes up until early October. Here are the steps to do before the school sends your info the state board.

1. Go to http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/nurse/nurse3.pdf. Print the form, send a check or money order for $143 to the address listed at the end of the form. They'll send the info to Pearson VUE who will then confirm Authorization to Test (ATT).

2. Go to NCLEX Examinations :: Pearson VUE. Register for an account, making sure your name matches your ID and the form in step 1 exactly. This is $200. You cannot pick your exam date until the state board (step 1) sends your info to them. You'll be notified via e-mail when you have ATT.

You can do steps 1 and 2 before finishing. I suggest the week before the exit exam.

3. The school will send your info to the state board but again, you don't have to wait on them. You can get the ball rolling ASAP.

I think this is all. Good luck!

Some last random thought: 1. Introduce yourself to nursing managers on the unit. Let them know you'll be looking for a job in a couple months then be as helpful as possible. You never know who's watching and when they're watching.

2. After each semester, update your resume so that you won't have to try to remember everything you've done at the end of the program

Better late than never! I am so glad I have come across this thread! I will be applying to Lehman's ABSN this coming summer for 2018 start. Even though I consider myself a great time manager and I know how to prioritize tasks, I still feel so anxious about the program and the accelerated pace of it.

Btw, were you able to land a job, if you do not mind me asking?

Thank you!

Excellent post, everything I need to know. I know the thread is already closed but just wanted to thank you for such an incredibly amazing summary/review of the program and all the tips of course. Thanks again and hope you are enjoying life after nursing school!

For 300, is it fine to take online or do you think it is harder than just going to lecture?
