I cannot seem to find much information on MidAmerica Nazrene's ABSN program online, so after attending an information session today, I thought I would share some of the program details with those of you in the same position I was in.
I have applied to the Spring 2016 session at MNU which starts on March 7, 2016. Anyone else applied to begin in the spring?
Pre-reqs, application requirements, etc. can all be found on their website, but I was mostly concerned with the actual ABSN schedule. According to our enrollment specialist Jennifer, you should expect to be in the program M-F 8am to 5 or 6pm. She said that during the second 7-week module you begin clinical, but still spend most of the time in class. During the third 7-week module you spend a good deal of time in clinical usually on Thursday &/or Friday working a 12-hour shift at a hospital. These hospitals can be within 70 miles of MNU. During your last 7-week module you are working full-time at a hospital & can choose to work day or night shifts. There are 6 7-week modules. On another allnurses post, someone said that students get a 1-week break between modules. Anyone know if this is true? Please correct me if any of this information is incorrect. I'm simply going by the info we received today at the ABSN info meeting.
Jennifer said that most of the TEAS V scores she has seen come in were in the 70s.
She also said that no offers of acceptance have been sent out yet. Once you are accepted they will 1) call, 2) email, & 3) mail your letter of acceptance. You then have 2 weeks to reply to guarantee your spot.
They usually accept 44-48 accelerated students & have around 150-200 applicants per cohort. There is a mandatory orientation the Thursday & Friday before the first week of school.
The rest of the information we were given can be found on their website, but I hope this extra info was helpful to you all!
