Queens University of Charlotte ABSN, Summer 2020

[Anju0504]

Hi, I have not been able to find a thread for Queens University ABSN program starting in the summer of 2020. I am wondering if others have applied/what their background is and if those who were in the program, how their experience was. Thank you and good luck.

OK thanks so much For that. I don’t have a lot of experience. I’m 22 and just graduated last May. I’m trying to find health care experience but it’s so hard. I thought I had life all figured out ?

Dont be so hard on yourself! I would suggest maybe getting your CNA and then working at the hospital or nursing home to get some experience or you could volunteer. I was waitlisted with a 3.56 pre-req with 2 pre-reqs in progress (human development and nutrition) I am 31 and have worked in healthcare since I was 19. I have been a CNA and have worked as a dental assistant since 2011...My life was far from figured out and thats OK! Your time will come!

Hey Everybody! I just received my acceptance ? good luck to everyone. Does anyone have any idea about apartments near Queens. I live in Concord and dont want to drive 40 min to school every day

There are tons near Queens! Probably a Google search would be your best bet but it is pricey just because of the area of the city you are in.

I wasn’t accepted but I’m thinking it was because I don’t have any patient care experience. Could someone that was accepted tell me what kind of experience and GPA they had?

Hi, I haven’t had patient care experience in about 10 years. And I did home care while in undergrad. I haven’t worked in the medical field. I have been a Chemist for the past 6 years. 3.7 GPA for prereqs.

I graduated from uncc in december with a bachelors in biology and also spent all last month getting my CNA from a month long CNA program for some experience. I also was able to shadow some nurses in a hospital setting. My prereq GPA was a 3.7. Don’t get too discouraged! There is still time. I don’t know where you live but the CNA program that I did is in kannapolis and is called the Southern College of Health Sciences and is quick and cheap. You are able to get your CNA and get certified super fast.

OK thank you all so much. I’m going to look inn to a CNA program today. Congrats to everyone as well.

They are in the process of fixing it now. I just called to ask how the waitlist process works. My advisor said that basically as people decline, they will start pulling from the list and we will receive an email as we did with the admissions decision if we were chosen off the waitlist.

Does anyone know when we will hear about scholarships/financial aid? Or if any previous applicants can give any insight into how much aid is typically offered?

Just curious if anyone that has been accepted created any type of group whether on facebook or Group Me?

I got accepted 2 days ago! I've been looking to see where admitted/current/former students post and came across this site. Is this the main site everyone uses to chat with others?

Also, I've researched a few apartments near Queens. Anyone looking for a roommate? 1 bedrooms are expensive (as to be expected) but there are some 2 bedroom 2 bathroom units that are much cheaper and close to campus! Please message me if you're interested!

Congrats to all who have been accepted! Any idea of Queens usual class size for their ABSN? Still haven't fully processed I got in, I was not expecting this haha.
