Just did a phone screen for ICN, they said they are narrowing it down to 12 candidates and will schedule a panel zoom interview by the end of the week. Finally something is happening!
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...

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?
@IzaKhan Good luck to you too! Have you applied other places? I was discouraged to be waitlisted at CSUEB, but I think that I have a much better chance at Samuel Merritt. While I'm intimidated by the accelerated program, it is probably a better fit f...
Hi OakRNland,
Yes it is my first choice. I thought I had a pretty good chance of getting in, but since I already have a degree from somewhere else I'm not going to be considered a local applicant. Now I think it's a long shot!
