Either post or private message me your email address and I will email you!

Hey from a student that started spring 2015! I am absolutely loving the program so far and highly recommend it! It's definitely been tough, but that's going to come with any accelerated program. The professors are awesome and are all extremely accomplished/knowledgable. Good luck to you all!

Hey Jessi, Here's a link to the Facebook group, I think it will be helpful! https://www.facebook.com/groups/301288853388923/

I've heard from previous ABSN students that you don't need to get every textbook, because there's physically not enough time to do all of the readings. I was told that the power points are thorough and what we will be studying pretty much.

Debblasko, Email me! [email protected]

Debblasko, I just replied to you on the FAU page haha but I wouldn't worry too much. The trend seems to be that you find out 2-3 weeks after you sent in your application, so sit tight. I was accepted to UM, and I'm assuming we have similar credentials since we both interviewed with FAU, so I think you'll be good!

Okay I didn't realize there were only two time slots per day, that makes more sense now. Because I went Friday at 9:30, and there were a ton of people in the lobby waiting for their interviews, not sure for what time, but it had to be around 11 am, maybe 11:30. And then I've heard people had 1 pm interviews too, which is why I thought there were multiple times for the two days.

I'd also be surprised if they kept to only admitting 40 accelerated students, because there were about 20/interview time slot, and I'm guessing there were at least 5 interview times per day, and two days of it, which is new this year. In the past, they've interviewed 80 students, but there had to be much more interviews this year, which makes me wonder if they'll take more than 40. Who knows.

THIS WAIT IS TORTURE!!! I check my email numerous times every day.. in fact, I downloaded the gmail app to my phone... bad idea because I can't stop checking! Definitely a strange interview format.. not too sure how I felt about it. I just can't believe how long this whole process has been. From making us wait until October to hear about interviews, now this taking 2-3 weeks, it's torture! I feel for you out-of-staters :/

also for anyone who doesn't have it, here's the Facebook group for our cohort! https://www.facebook.com/groups/301288853388923/

silly question but does anyone know if we get a normal spring break/winter break? i know the program is so short, so i wasn't sure

Is there a Facebook group for our cohort yet?

Yes mine said the same

I would check communications because my status says incomplete, but under communications was my acceptance letter. Congrats to everyone accepted!!!!

shamdes, I called and they said it's not incomplete on their end, and they haven't reviewed it yet.

okay thanks!

congrats alexvalle! do you mind saying what your gpa/credentials looked like?

I agree it's surprising

I think they're doing it in the order they received applications.. when did you turn yours in? It seems like people that have gotten decisions applied early August. I applied early Sept and don't have a decision yet

And she did say that a good percent of them had jobs lined up before they even passed their nclex's

I don't know much about it except for what the admissions councelor told me, but she did say that every single student from last semester passed the nclex exam, so it must be a decent program. What made me uneasy is that all of the lecture-based classes are done online, and then you report live for the clinicals. Nursing just seems difficult to teach yourself with an online format, but I'm definitely not ruling the school out.

Did anyone not use their FAU email on nursingcas? I didn't because I wanted to see the emails easily on my phone everyday, but I did change it to my FAU email today. I hope my application will still be processed! I'm assuming they'll let us know about interviews through the FAU email, just a few more days!

My nursing cas is complete and verified, it's canelink that says incomplete

I hope this isn't a trend here.. Did anyone that received their cane link via mail show incomplete on their application? So far it seems to be the three of us that created it ourselves

That's what used to happen to me but today I was redirected to a different page and at the too I was able to click application status.
