Mount St. Mary ABSN Fall 2019

[sivedrafely]

Hi I wanted to start this topic/group for everyone applying to Mount St. Mary's ABSN Fall 2019. Since applications are due 3/1/2019 I thought it'd be helpful to start this application journey now!

I have science courses that are still in progress till end of July which is worrying me but still worth a try! Anyone has in progress courses? How far are you in your application?

Is anyone else having trouble logging in to MyMSMU?

Is that what we are supposed to log into now?

Yes, on your acceptance letter, you have a hyperlink to set up your portal.

I was having trouble too but after messing around with it, I figured it out. What weirdly helped me was changing my password twice.

Also, has anyone received their official acceptance in the mail yet ?

Are you guys talking about the admits portal where our apps were turned in at ? Because on the MyMSMU it’s a Microsoft link which I’m assuming is a username of an email the school will give us.

When you log into the admit portal to secure your spot, there is a tab called "Your Account". It will then show you the steps to set up your account and provides your student ID and school email (which you then log into with the Microsoft link). Hope that helps!

That’s weird mine doesn’t have that. May be because I’m looking on a tablet so I’ll have to wait till I’m home ?

For those of you who didn’t get into this program, don’t fret. I regret going through this program. It was one of the worst decisions of my life. Worst program ever! Horrible instructors who try to fail half the class, rude office staff who place people they don’t like in the worst clinical groups ie: try to assign you a clinical VERY far from your home. My friend lived south of Long Beach and because the 2 ladies in the office didn’t like her, they assigned her a clinical all the way in Oxnard!!!!! There were 2 students who lived way closer to Oxnard, but the ladies didn’t like her and she suffered for it. People will have hand-me-down copies of former exams and cheat to get A’s .... just to have the instructor turn their nose up at those who actually “studied “ and got a “B”. One instructor actually said, “I don’t understand why almost the whole class got A’s, and yet, 8 of you didn’t.” Really! Yeah, it’s because your little class teacher’s pet gave out copies of your exam! That’s why they got A’s!!!! Oh, and just a heads up... when your class is “invited” to go to the “Tea Circle” during your precious lunch break...don’t go!!!!! Or if you do go, don’t speak!!!! It’s a trap!!! The instructors are judging you by what you say. The instructors encourage you to vent and talk out your worries and fears about nursing school claiming they want to “support” you. Not so!!!!! The instructors all meet up afterward to let the other instructors know what you said and start pegging you. They will write down exactly what you said. It’s all a bunch of lies! One student spoke up about some of her feelings about the process of going thru the program. Well, guess what? An instructor failed her ***! If you sit in the last few rows of class....forget it! Instructors think you’re not nursing material. Save your money. This school is horribly overrated. Horrible teachers, horrible clinicals, endless amounts of homework. My last 4 months I only got 2 hours of sleep a night. Before that, 3 hours of sleep was considered a great night’s sleep!!! Forget your friends, family, boyfriends, girlfriends...you’re never gonna see them until after graduation. Don’t fall in love, get married, get pregnant or get sick! If you’re married, better pray you have a strong marriage because this program takes its toll on you and spouses don’t understand how grueling this program is. Don’t miss more that one class if you get sick...there’s no way to catch up after that. The worst part is, you spend half your nights printing endless amounts of papers because the school is too cheap to provide course materials. I spent a good hour a night just printing papers to prepare for the next day. Budget to replace your printer ink cartridges every week—yes, EVERY WEEK!!! Also, you will easily go thru a whole ream of paper a night just to print what you need for class each day. When I graduated, I had 6 of those 60 gallon plastic bins full of papers. The best day was throwing it all into my fireplace on graduation night. Total nightmare!!!! I don’t mean to be a downer. I know many of you are excited to start your program. I was excited, too. I know nursing programs are tough and hard. But this program is absolutely brutal! I’m just being totally honest. If you can still get into another school, do it!!!! Save your money!!!! Otherwise, count on MSMU ABSN program to be the absolute worst, most horrible time of your life! Sorry!?
