   MamaMagic replied to MamaMagic's topic in NICU

   I'm going to update here! I just finished my preceptorship in a level IV NICU and it was absolutely wonderful. I loved all the aspects of the job and everyone I worked with. I am now just trying to figure out a way to get a job!

4. What was your ABSN program like? Was it hard?

   MamaMagic replied to starter12345's topic in General Students

   When I was trying to make this same decision all I heard from people was how awful it would be to do an ABSN program. I think it depends on the program, but honestly mine hasn't been bad at all. It's busy, but I rarely feel overwhelmed. I agonized ov...

   MamaMagic posted a topic in NICU

   Hello, I'm a nursing student interested in NICU nursing. There are so many things about it that I feel like sound like a dream job, but I'm also trying to think critically about the challenges as well. One thing that has stood out to me is the s...

   MamaMagic replied to MamaMagic's topic in School Programs

   Hello! I am going to answer my own question for other prospective students. I am in my second semester of the SMU ABSN program and now have some perspective on the ability to do it with kids. The first two terms were a lot of work- class (online sinc...

   I’m in for Oakland!

8. Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2020

   MamaMagic replied to Chongcolatealmond's topic in School Programs

   That's fair, I apologize for my response. Things sometimes don't have the same nuance as if we were in person and I certainly don't mean to be snarky. There is still a possibility I will go if it doesn't work out with Oakland, but Oakland is a much m...

9. Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2020

   MamaMagic replied to Chongcolatealmond's topic in School Programs

   My first response: No way! I was only considering Oakland. Then looking back at my application: ?‍♀️ Oh yeah, I guess I did check the box for San Mateo too. Still waiting on Oakland then...

    I just got an acceptance letter... to the wrong campus! I was apparently accepted for San Mateo but only applied for Oakland. I waiting to for a response right now to make sure I'm still being considered for Oakland ?

    Hi Rachel, From the Samuel Merritt ABSN summer 2018 thred it sounds like in 2018 decisions started to go out the first week of Feb, and in 2017 it was around Feb. 24th. So it could be soon hopefully?

    Hi Christina, I would recommend contacting the admissions department directly to see what they think you should do. I'm sure they have run into this issue a lot!

13. Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2020

    MamaMagic replied to Chongcolatealmond's topic in School Programs

    Thanks, Christina! One factor in my decision was that I would rather be with a cohort that was similar to me- that is, "more mature" (I'm 38- today is my birthday!) and going through the same kid/spouse/mortgage stress that I am so that we can suppor...

    Hello again! I've turned down the CSUEB offer so all my eggs are in the Oakland ABSN basket. Hope to see you in May!

15. CSUEB - Cal State East Bay Nursing BSN Spring 2020

    MamaMagic replied to OakRNland's topic in School Programs

    Thanks so much for the input! Since I would be getting out of school a full year sooner with the ABSN program the cost is actually less with SM than CSUEB. I've decided to turn down the CSUEB offer and go with an accelerated program. Good luck to the...
