Just called and they stated as of 12/31/15 no RT are being accepted, except LPN, LVN and military. Do you know whom you spoke to?

Accepted as well..... Will see you guys 5/18/16.

I work for a Partners Hospital in Boston and Salem State has great reputation with them, that's the reason I applied and hope to get accepted and save much $$ as well.

I spoke to someone yesterday and she said to check navigator tomorrow.

When I went to their info session just 1 chemistry class with passing grade C within 7 years, but since they are the cheapest in town and space for only 24 students probably a B will be better in my view.

Salem State Application Requirements Must have a bachelor's degree in a non-nursing program completed by May 1, 2016. (suggested GPA 3.0) Must have all prerequisites* completed by the beginning of summer session one. Prerequisites include: anatomy and physiology I and II, microbiology, chemistry, statistics, and developmental psychology. All science prerequisite courses completed within the last seven years. Students may be enrolled in up to two prerequisite courses in the spring semester prior to the start of the program, but the courses must be completed before the start of summer session one and official transcript must be submitted.

Ok thanks nurseletDZ

And if you were not able to take loans/financial aid for undergrad but going to ABSN program, can you still get some financial aid or loans?

I did not

Hi Mickey, I hope to get in as well, my undergrad GPA is 3.03, Pre-reqs GPA is 3.7

I hope so too, I applied in November when application was free. Re-took all my pre-reqs currently in Chemistry......its my first choice b/c of cost.

Didn't know about them, going to apply now. Thanks

I did, but taking Chemistry this Spring x8wks.....will see. Hope i get in

Hi everyone - I'm wondering if anyone else applied for Salem State Accelerated BSN program for Summer 2016? I submitted my application, think start date for 5/18/16. Just wanted to start a thread to converse with others who are also looking to apply or have applied to the Salem State ABSN 2016 cohort. I decided to start this thread in hopes of creating a place where others who are also interested in the 2016 cycle (or past students eventhough this will be theif first ABSN cohort but supposedly following their MSN track)can talk about the application process, GPA/Preq concerns, and basically offer support and answer questions!

Hi Chels32, Great you started this thread, I am thinking of applying as well and would like to know about classes, labs and clinicals schedules from current or past students. I live 1.5hrs away and don't intend on moving to the area.

Hi guys, I am applying for the October 2016 cohort and currently works as Registered Respiratory Therapist. Do you have to do the CNA b/c I have no intention on working for way less pay as a CNA while I have an RRT license. Basically has anyone in program had to do CNA or other healthcare professionals are accepted?

Most hospitals program will require 2 years of service contracts

Same boat taking pre-reqs. now

Wait to get pregnant until few months from finishing nursing school

take notes, review them and study daily

You should probably retake your science prerequisites online prior to applying, I have been told nursing school look for your science grades

Thanks for all the replies. I ended taking 16 wks course at NMJC, took A&P I with the same teacher already....and will start A&P II in October same school and teacher
