Marymount ABSN fall 2022

Published

Anyone else applied to the ABSN program at Marymount University for Fall 2022? 

I guess it depends on whether you have class that day or not. Typically classes are on Tuesdays and Fridays and since everything is online it makes it super convenient! A school day could be like a class from 8-9:30 AM and another class at 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM, then studying in between classes and in the evening.

Did anyone here apply for the in-person ABSN program, not the online one?

Congratulations @Coop07! The program has been challenging but is expected for an ABSN program. Time management and self-discipline I believe are key to doing well in the program. The professors are overall great and supportive. You meet online once a week and go over case studies, so they aren't lecture based. 

Hello I was wondering if you could give me some info based on your experience regarding clinicals. Are there clinical hours during semester breaks? I'm asking because I wanted to take a small trip in between semesters and wondered if it's feasible.

I start this Fall

Thanks in advanced

@H3lloDubs Congratulations for getting accepted! I have only had one instance where clinicals extended to the semester break although it was for one day. For instance, we had 2 weeks off following our Spring semester and there was one day the week after finals that we had to attend clinicals. But so far with my Summer semester, none of our clinicals extend to the semester break. Hopefully this helps!

Has anyone else paid their deposit, is there a facebook group created for those of us who have chosen MU?

@Afo123 Wishing you all the best on your application! 

I actually graduated from the program back in December and passed the NCLEX in January! I do think the program prepares you adequately to pass the NCLEX. (Disclaimer: my cohort was the last one that was able to take the older NCLEX - not the NGN one)

For online classes, you usually meet once a week via zoom for 1.5 hours. The teachers typically do not lecture (read from a powerpoint) but rather go through important concepts and case studies. This style of teaching might be a difficult transition depending on how you studied in your first undergraduate degree. 

Quizzes and exams are usually proctored and you must scan your environment prior to taking exams. The questions are more critical thinking based so going through practice questions online (e.g. Quizlet) really helped! The practice questions help you "think like a nurse." Also, reading through the rationales of why an answer is correct is more important than actually knowing what the answer is. 

Overall, time management is key. Organize your assignments, what to study, and clinicals in a way that works best for you. I often used a to-do list and a planner to keep track of what I needed to get done. Having some self-care even if it's for a few hours or a day out of the week is also important. 

Let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck ?

@CBShiro thank you very much for this, I have actually been looking for someone who actually is in the program or completed the program. Am glad you responded. And am glad you are a registered nurse now. Am just about to get my feet wet. Wish to chat more with you, if it's okay with you for directives and advice. can I give you my email?

@Afo123 For sure! Go ahead and send me a direct message. I'll do my best to respond when I have some time in between work. ?
