JY0125 BSN, RN

The majority of my staff RN coworkers have left to go traveling. I would say that core staff is now 95% travelers. There are only 2-3 mid shift staff RNs left, and I’m also leaving in July. Night shift is staffed with only new RNS straight out of res...

Hello! I haven’t seen any recent posts about the UW Harborview residency program, so I thought I’d post and start a conversation! I applied to the Peri-Op program (dream unit!) and the other program right before Christmas. I checked my status and b...

I did have basic knowledge of patho because I did my undergrad in human bio. Nonetheless, this class was challenging for because I honestly forgot everything I learned in college and it was a pretty fast class! But I thought it was worth it for the p...

Yes, I took pathophysiology with Santa Barbara City College. What do you want to know? I look the online class during summer 2017. Basically, it's an independent class. I read the book and self-taught myself the material. I think there was weekly exa...

Oh, you haven’t applied yet? Good luck! It’s been an intense program so far, but I’m relieved that I’ll be done in the fall.

I agree with WebbC1. I also struggled in patho and took pharm awhile ago in college, but it’s not affecting me now. Professors, in the SFP campus, advise us not to focus too much on patho details since we aren’t responsible for diagnosing. If you get...

I also agree with all the previous posters! As for the material, I wouldn’t say it’s any harder than pathophysiology or AP. But the format of the exams are clinical application based, which prepares students for NCLEX. If you have a good understandi...

Hiya! I’m in the program as well. We have a few moms and dads in the program with mutliple children < 6 years old. They are actually one of the top students in my cohort. They make it work and work hard for their family - it’s hard, but totally d...

Just finished 3 classes of my ABSN program. We have 3 sets of classes per semester so ... I'm 1/3 done with my first semester! So glad it's done!

Hm. I'm pretty sure you can find a developmental psych course that's offered as a single course. You should look into santa barbara city college. They have online classes that are pretty convenient to take!

Hello. You should check the admission requirement page on the programs' website and see what type of GPAs they count. My ABSN program only looked at science pre-requisite and last 60 unit GPAs. Best of luck! xoxo

I agree with the previous posters. I started nursing school with plans of working every Saturday/Sunday. I'm two months into an ABSN program and ... I'm fully regretting it. I got placed into clinical rotations on the weekends so I reduced my work sc...

You should check out NursingCAS. It is a centralized application site which makes applying to multiple programs pretty easy. Go to the website and see if the programs are listed in their directory.

I got my flu vaccine a few weeks ago and I was fine! Maybe you can get the vaccine a few weeks prior to the start of your program to prevent getting sick during it!

Hi, first off welcome to allnurses! :) I think your stats are good! Not sure where you are located, but my ABSN program only looked at pre-req and last 60 unit GPAs. Usually programs will give you a range and as long as your within them, I think you...

Aiya! In my NS application ... they did ask if any certification revoked due to disclinary action. Best of luck ...

Hi! Thank you for the heads up. I will start my absn program this fall. Although I was/am estactic about my acceptance, I am quite nervous about the intensity of the program. I will take your advice. Best of luck to you! Keep up the good work :)

Mine starts on 6/30! How's the class?

For those who took pathophys online at SBCC: The course requires a webcam. Did anyone use the built-in macbook camera as a webcam or purchase one? Thanks in advance :)

Wow, the program you're applying to doesn't require previous transcripts? That's good then!! My program required every single college transcript so that was a hassle during applications. I was young, dumb and stupid right after graduating highschool ...

Seat deposit of $350 is due by 6/10. Have you checked with counselors? Good luck!

Hii. I would recommend you retake all the pre-reqs and do really well. My program calculated 2 GPAs: 1 for all science pre-reqs (they used the most recent ones) and 1 for the last 60 units. Then in your personal statement you can discuss how you wor...

Hiiiii. Will you be working while taking the pre-reqs? When I started my NS journey, I worked full time so I was only able to take 1-2 classes per semester. If you're new to science courses, I would recommend starting with Nutrition, just to get you...

Thank you for posting this! I will bookmark this thread so I can refer back to this when my program starts in November! I just got accepted into a 12 month absn program so I'll need all the tips. Thanks again :)

I just paid my seat deposit yesterday morning. When I checked my FA ... it said none awarded at this time. Is that what yours shows?
