AspiringNurse2019 CNA

A university I attended made me withdraw from their hybrid nursing program due to having COVID symptoms over a year ago. I tried to come back, but they told me they didn't have clinicals in my area and never would, even though the admissions departme...

Another nursing program there? Potentially, but if I can't finish my ABSN I don't see the purpose of pursuing a different nursing program with the same school that messed me over, as I definitely do not trust them anymore. I already have a non-nursin...

@londonflo I definitely agree that there are better options out there. But I don't understand how they could do this to me after I put in so much work and money. I'm out over 30k and multiple classes that won't transfer. Also, the time I wasted savin...

Hi Everyone! I applied for the May 2020 ABSN cohort at UW Oshkosh back in October and was looking to connect with other applicants. I completed my phone interview mid-November and was told final decisions should come in around mid-December. Now I'm j...

Hi Vikingmama, For me, the wait time was about 2 months after the application deadline; however, I am sure it can vary. I'm not sure how many applicants there were. Best wishes!

@Nurse2Be87 Congratulations! It's definitely nice to meet another cohort member ?.

Hi! After college, nurses pretty much rely on basic math and dimensional analysis unless they are in research. You sound pretty prepared which is great! I would say select the course you feel most comfortable with. Best wishes on your nursing journey...

Have you calculated your living expenses if you choose the ABSN? Your final decision depends a lot on how soon you want to enter the workforce as a nurse and your financial situation. One of the reasons I decided on an ABSN program is because I want ...

You found and applied to 3 programs, which is great! You might not have to worry about applying to other programs. Unfortunately, I could not find any ABSN programs that do not require chemistry. If you decide to take an accelerated class be sure to...

Hi! I recommend you take an accelerated chemistry class, it will open a lot of doors for you. Check out New Mexico Junior College and EICC, they have inexpensive online chemistry classes with lab. Some programs allow you to apply with prereqs in prog...

Hi! I am sorry to hear you were rejected. Did they tell you how to strengthen your application for the future? I am not applying to the October 20 cohort but have been accepted to the May 2020 cohort. If you have any questions about the application ...

Hi there, Yes, it's definitely possible to get a letter of recommendation from a professor who teaches online. I have requested several for college admissions and scholarship applications. I'm sure your professors will be happy to write you a letter ...

I took the HESI a while back and there were not any microbiology questions. You don't need to take microbiology in order to take the HESI. Use the HESI study guide by HESI (ISBN: 9780323353786) to prepare. This study guide helped me well prepare, alo...

I agree with those who support you becoming a CNA. Experience in the healthcare field is invaluable when applying to an RN program. It will definitely give you a leg up. Many community college and university programs require you to at least have your...

Hi All, I was wondering how the interview process is for the online ABSN program at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. How should one prepare for the interview? Thanks for any feedback!

I am replying to my own post to help future applicants. My interview went well; they were very nice! You will be interviewed by two people via phone. For my cohort, the interviewers asked everyone 7 questions. The questions were similar to those of a...

Hi there, That's so exciting, congrats! Where are you from? I'm from Illinois. I checked the schedule and it looks like our first class will begin in March. Hopefully textbook information comes out soon.

I was accepted! It would be great to connect with others who have been accepted to the May 2020 ABSN cohort at UW Oshkosh.

Update: I was informed that the clinical coordinator will only contact individuals once they have been admitted. Also, admission decisions are anticipated before Christmas!

I recently applied to the MENP program for Fall 2019 and was wondering if anyone else has applied to the RFU location?

Congratulations! I am also concerned about the expensive tuition. However, obtaining a masters degree can open doors outside of bedside nursing once experience is gained. So, this is definitely something I will have to think about.

I found out I was accepted to the RFU location yesterday! The email I got said there was an update to my application. I applied using DePaul's online application. Have any other RFU applicants been accepted? Is there a Facebook group for the RFU loca...

I haven't heard anything yet. It appears that DePaul is notifying LP applicants first. Hopefully, we all will hear back this month! That's a good question. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how DePaul sends out decisions. I think you might receive an email...

I don't know if you can transfer to another location after being admitted. You should contact an admissions counselor about that. Aspiringcalnurse90 said DePaul will not release acceptance emails for another 4-6 weeks. So, no news yet! This program i...

Thanks for the update!
