Hi, I’m new to this forum. I just have one question. I’m thinking about applying to the absn program come 2020; however, I would like to know if all prerequisites have to be completed prior to applying to the program? I have all the mandatory courses except A&P ll. Furthermore, I know for transfer students applying to the traditional RN program the prerequisites have to be completed before applying.

Hi! I’m currently a student in the accelerated program. For the accelerated program you just need to have all of the prereqs completed before you start the program so it’s fine if you’re completing 1 of them still while you’re applying. I think you only had to send your unofficial transcripts when you apply and then you have to send your official ones if you get accepted.

Hi! I’m currently a student in the accelerated program. Classes are going well for the most part. It was a bit disorganized for the 1st month since it took forever for the supplies for our fundamentals lab to arrive but everything has come together over the past few weeks. A lot of the lab professors have been great about advocating for us and making sure that we’re able to get a proper education and the heads of the nursing dept have been very open to feedback. They said that next semester is going to be much more organized, which I believe since the sim lab classrooms are already set up for peds/ob, which is what we’ll be doing next semester.

They make our class schedules for us and separate us into groups so you have lecture classes w/ everyone in your group and then you have lab w half of the ppl in your group. I honestly didn’t mind that at all since they set it up in a way that’s convenient for you so our earliest class is at 9:10, then another day it’s at 10 and the other day is at 12:30 then you have clinical one day/week which is from 7am-12pm.You get to pick your clinical site + day you want to do your clinical on as well though which is on a 1st come 1st served basis. All of the professors genuinely want all of the students to do well and to teach them proper nursing procedures but you also have to study a lot in order to do well too.

Hope that helped answer your questions!
