Hi everyone! Congratulations to those who have been admitted, and crossing my fingers to those who are still waiting. I hope you guys are excited for nursing school at SMU. Im a current ABSN student at SMU and I just wanted to give you guys a small insight to what it's like. I know how anxious you guys all are to start! My experience so far has been phenomenal. I agree with @honeyhoney that you will have to do A LOT of learning on your own and there are barely any lectures. However, I do better in school with this format and am currently on the deans list. For your first semester you'll have 2 new classes every 5 weeks, and you'll have exams every week til you graduate. As for clinicals, you do not have a choice of where you will go nor will they ask you where you want to go. You get placed in certain locations, and hopefully someone in your cohort will be able to switch with you. I have had an amazing time at clinicals and have been getting the hours that I need. They have decreased the # of hours you need per course, and you will have virtual simulations to make up for missed hours. You'll have orientation soon and you'll learn a lot more about the program during that time. There will be panel of current students in one of the orientation dates, and you can ask them questions during that time. I also want to mention that your "cohort title" will be based on when you graduate. Those who got admitted for April 2021 start, your cohort title will be "ABSN April 2022 Cohort" and so on. Anyways, good luck guys! I was in your position not too long ago and I know how ya'll are feeling. Ya'll are gonna do great ❤️

@klew no, that’s not Summer 2019 prereq courses. I’m still waiting for Summer 2020 ABSN

Does anyone’s checklist look like this? the bottom says “accept your offer of admission” but under my application it’s still “under review”

Received this email this morning.
