I just got a call regarding their new program after expressing interest in the program. I am genuinely considering that option as a "career changer."

Thank you so much. I am not too familiar with this website but would love to connect.

Currently looking to enroll in a ASBN program. I was exploring the MountSaintVincent program, but quickly realized the program was much more expensive than I had thought. While doing further research on the school, it appeared to me that the school and program do not offer much support, which I can verify based off my conversation with the advisor from the school. Thus, I am looking to enroll in a ASBN program that will provide me the opportunity to do my pre-reqs through an online platform (as someone that currently works full-time). For a bit more background on my academic history, I did my undergraduate degree in Education and Masters in Public Health and therefore need to makeup for the perquisites needed in order to be considered. With that being said, does anyone know of any schools that are worth exploring (preferably on the not-so-expensive end). I am also trying to save as much as I can for my pre-reqs -- what options do I have? Thank you,

Hello! Yes, I was able to get an answer so according to the information I gathered my statistics courses from undergrad which have been completed almost a decade ago will be accepted (I can only assume some courses that are over 5 years get accepted). Now concerning the Human Nutrition course, I will be taking (again), the only difference is that it will be grad school level is due to the fact that it was over five years old. So yeah once again, it simply varies on the course. The lab courses online are all accepted! ?

I reached out to the PSON ABSN program during the holidays in hopes of finding out if the program transfers over graduate-level courses, but I have yet to hear back from them. With that being said, did anyone transfer over graduate-level courses that are necessary as prereqs in order to enroll? In addition, I am aware that the school accepts portage learning courses. Does this include courses that require labs as well? Thank you!

Thank you Vimmie, I do understand that PSON accepts online courses. So I will certainly look into the programs I am interested in and reach out accordingly, to see what other schools allow online courses as well. Thank you!

Hello everyone! My name is Raquel and I am from New York City, and most recently I've begun to consider applying for a Nursing program. I have looked at the ABSN at the Mount Sinai PSON, The ABSN at Pace University, and the Accelerated Second-Degree Nursing Program (A2D) at Hunter College. I do have a couple of questions for those that may be familiar with ABSN programs. I've noticed that all the programs I've explored have not included the pre-requisite courses: such as Anatomy & Physiology, Chemistry, Microbiology or Biology, and etc. Is this standard for all ABSN programs? As someone with a Bachelor's in Education, and two semesters shy of graduating with a Master of Public Health, I have not delved into many/any STEM courses throughout both degrees. In addition, upon speaking to a representative at Pace University -- regarding their ABSN application process, they stated that no courses from my Masters would be accepted as pre-requisites (which is pretty upsetting, since my grades in grad-school have been great oppose to my mediocre grades in undergrad). In addition, enrolling in an expensive program/institution at this point isn't something I am keen on doing after graduating. With all said and done, what would be the most cost-effective route to obtaining an ABSN? I am also looking to do some international work abroad after graduating, such as the Peace Corps, and would like to know if it would even be possible to start my pre-requisites while living and working abroad.
