  1. University of Sioux Falls ABSN?

    jakm posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone, this is my first post (non-response post)! I have applied to a number of ABSNs and was accepted to a few so far, and I am planning on going to University of Sioux Falls. I was wondering...

  2. University of Sioux Falls ABSN?

    jakm replied to jakm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MDtoDNP, I see where you're coming from. My info is a few years old, but actually I'm training a new nurse at my hospital who just graduated from USF's ABSN program. I told him about those numbers...

  3. University of Sioux Falls ABSN?

    jakm replied to jakm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The area...? For being a moderately small city, it has two large hospitals, which I believe are the biggest employers in the city. Both hospitals are well-respected. The city is also becoming a lot...

  4. University of Sioux Falls Accelerated BSN

    jakm replied to fischek's topic in School, College Programs

    True, many classes have a simulation. Also, I don't know if that number counts the preceptorship. The simulations and preceptorship are some of the best clinical experiences, because you really get to...

  6. University of Sioux Falls Accelerated BSN

    jakm replied to fischek's topic in School, College Programs

    I went there (USF ABSN), and I felt we got enough hours. I liked the program! Feel free to ask me anything about it, but I am biased... :-) It is true that a number of my classmates went back to MN...

  7. Last Day of Nursing School

    jakm replied to nlitened's topic in General Students

    Same here, my last day was yesterday and I got a 99% on the ATI predictor! I'm going to try to take the NCLEX within the next 2 weeks, and start my job about 6 weeks after that! It's great to be done,...

  8. University of Sioux Falls ABSN?

    jakm replied to jakm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you think you'll live on-campus? If you do, it might feel more laid-back like a small town, but I don't know anything about Creighton. You could look at Google Maps, and see whether the school is...

  9. University of Sioux Falls ABSN?

    jakm replied to jakm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's the other school you're looking at? I've never been to South Dakota before, but I lived in the Midwest for about 5 years. What about you? There's another person on this site who's going to...

  10. University of Sioux Falls ABSN?

    jakm replied to jakm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did a Google search a while back and only found 2011 information, but their NCLEX passing rate was 94.7%. I guess they are new, because there was no data before 2011. I also called the school a...

  11. University of Sioux Falls ABSN?

    jakm replied to jakm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, sorry I took so long to respond. I tried searching for it a few days ago and couldn't find it. Today I had the same problem, but then I did something (I don't know what) and it popped up!...

  12. University of Sioux Falls ABSN?

    jakm replied to jakm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think making a Facebook group is a good idea. I haven't done that before, but if you know how to make one, I'll definitely

  14. University of Sioux Falls ABSN?

    jakm replied to jakm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for the reply! I looked at the NCLEX statistics and the BON website and found no worrisome information! I have seen people mention that selection ratio is important, but to me it has...

  15. Need Advice

    jakm replied to Bonnieparker22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just to add to keylimesqueez's comment, my friend expressed worry that his research's funding might be cut (even though it was a government job), and when I was doing my nursing prereqs, I found that...

  16. Need Advice

    jakm replied to Bonnieparker22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a friend who did an undergrad degree in bio and computer science, and went into a PhD in bio/tech. He went into a research job afterward. Within a year of finishing his PhD, he told me his...

  17. BA looking for accelerated BSN?

    jakm replied to james378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Kayleen, I saw you wrote about doing an ABSN in Sioux Falls. I have applied to a program there (USF). It sounds like you chose a different school, but have you heard anything about USF's program?...
