We were fortunate with clinical, had good sites and really great professors in my experience. I know some of my classmates had some clinical experiences that weren’t as good. I really didn’t feel like I got the majority of my skills practice in my final two semesters in the critical care units (ICU and ED). Still got lots to learn but every nurse will tell you the skills will come with time, not to stress over them. You can tell your nurses what skills you would like to try to find that day and they can help you get them with another nurses that day. Overall the program was organized, we started during the pandemic so there was so much changing back and forth that was out of the schools control, but overall it was fine for me. Instructors are mostly good in my opinion, a few you will be frustrated with for sure but many you will love. You don’t get to choose your professors in the ABSN, you all have the same lecture and then clinical is basically random placement/professor/day with random people from your cohort each time. Uniforms, the school pants are bad, I ended up buying black pants of a real brand and no professor had a problem. The scrub top you have to get the schools, 2 of them. Ask lots of questions and be honest with your nurses and instructors. It’s the time to make mistakes and not know anything. You don’t need most of the books, but a few were helpful but depends on who the professor is. And lastly Wish I wouldn’t have stressed so much about grades and GPA, it’s hard stuff but doable. Quite a few hospitals didn’t even consider GPA in their hiring process. And The A on the test doesn’t always mean you are an A nurse at the bedside.

Hi eveyone! If you are still checking this site, congrats! This is an amazing program you should be proud. I just graduated from this program also so I know how exciting and hard it is to get in! random questions I can answer as well, I know how much uncertainty and curiosity we all have at your time. Thanks!

Hello, out of respect for those of us who have already taken it, I dont think it is fair to give anyone else an advantage on what questions or type of questions were asked. Good luck, we can all only try our best.

Hi all! New to this group but glad I found this, was hoping for some type of group like this. I received my email for interview this morning as well! :) Congrats to everyone! Based on the company's website they mentioned it looks like we are just doing video interviews by recording ourselves with pre made questions. Doesn't look like any actual person will be on it.
