Northeastern Accelerated BSN Spring 2015

Published

Hi everyone!

I'm applying to the ABSN program at Northeastern starting Spring 2015 and I'm curious if anyone else is applying/has been accepted.

How are you all feeling about it?!

Hi all,

I've just been accepted and enrolled in the Fall '15 cohort. To those of you enrolled now, where do you think the best place to live is? I'm moving up from NJ, but have lived in the Boston area before, so I know the neighborhoods.

Thanks!

Hi Mags0308

I've heard from a friend currently enrolled that all the classes are online, there are labs once a week in Burlington and a test once a week in Burlington, and then wherever they place you for clinicals (which is within a 50 mile radius from the school) once a week. So not much (or any) is actually in the Boston area, so maybe try looking around the Burlington area?

How long did it take to hear back after you successfully submitted your application?

To answer you're question, try to look around the Southend/East Boston area for apartments. They are relatively affordable and, most important accessible to public transportation. It's also near hospitals affiliated with NEU.

Hey

How do you like the program? I'm more worried about the online format. I'd appreciate if you could tell me how you feel about it.

Hey Soph,

Unfortunately, I did not choose to join NEU's BSN program, but I can answer some questions regarding to the application process. What about the online formate worries you? Just make sure you get your recommendations uploaded in time. That was the only problem I encountered during the process. I do not think this program is difficult to get accepted into. As long as you have a cumm GPA and pre-req above 3. Feel free to ask more questions if you have them regarding the process.

Hey,

Thanks for getting back to me. I just feel like its a lot to be learning online. I am finding the same issue i have one recommendation done :(. what program did you end up choosing? i don't think its hard to get into either. I'm just worried about staying in, that's why I've been asking about their completion/graduation rate. My admission counselor have been very helpful in answering my questions.

Sorry for the late reply. I am have been busy with studying for one of my finals. Although different schools have different curriculums, but the amount of stress and pain that nursing students go through are very similar. Be mindful that the work load and pace is very quick, however, the level of difficult in the content is not challenging. Some days you may have 3 chapters of reading condensed into a lecture, which can be very overwhelming and have the exam the following days. My program generally include 5-6 chapters per exam, but can vary between courses. Just make sure to stay on schedule with the readings + other homework and be prepared to work [extremely] hard because it's more than what one anticipates (at least for me). Remember to enjoy the process of learning the materials and try not to be obsessive about your grades. The more one knows/understands; the higher grade one can earn. By the way, a passing grade in nursing is 78-80 (I think for most schools). Yeah, I agree. My admission counselor was very helpful and phenomenal; I think her name was Rebecca (she's awesome!). The school that I chose to attend ultimately was MCPHS, out in Worcester. Oh by the way, be aware that nursing schools are 3-4 hours each and maybe daily depending on the course. It's a struggle at first, but after one semester you will get used to it. So good luck with the process and your new journey to become a RN student! :D

Hi! I know this post is from last year but I have been searching the past years forums for some more information. What made you ultimately choose MCPHS over northeastern? I have been accepted to both for fall 2016 and need to make a decision soon. Can you share your experience at MCPHS? What your typical week is like or any information you wish you knew before beginning?
