UMass Boston ABSN - Fall 2021

Published

Wondering who else has applied for the Fall 2021 start date for the ABSN program at UMASS Boston. Also looking for insight into this program from current students. Thanks!

Hi all! I was accepted into the fall 2021 cohort and I’m really excited!!

I’ve lived in Boston (in the city proper) since I moved here for college so happy answer questions. I currently live in Hyde Park, the southern most Boston neighborhood. 
 

Also based on info I’ve gotten from the school, it looks like clinicals will be weekly. ?

@ashleyowen & @Kelsanne I am also living north of Boston and plan just to drive in when necessary. I moved in with my dad recently to start and save and preparation for nursing school and plan to stay with him here (in Methuen) through school. I am not sure where everyone else is living, but it would be definitely good to get together for in person events and studying since he program is mainly online. I am also 28 and completely changing careers, not sure if anyone else is around my age or if most people are coming from undergraduate, I assume it's a mix.

FYI, the Littman Classic iii stethoscope is 20% off for Prime members for Amazon Prime Day. I got it for $30 cheaper than the McGill website.

@Nel Petti I'm in JP, so we're super close!

@nurse_kz Im also changing careers. Im assuming that won't be rare, but it'll be interesting to find out.

Oh yay! That’s exciting! What career are you switching from? I have a masters in public health and have been in the field for about 10 years since graduating from college. I want to get some clinical experience so I can leverage both nursing and public health to make the most impact possible. 
 

Good call on the stethoscope!

@ashleyowen I got my Welcome Packet from Katharine Middleton on June 8th. I'd email her at [email protected]

@Nel Petti I've been just been working as a university staff for the last while. My bachelors was a setup to get a masters in global health, but various life things happened instead.

I received mine as well, maybe two weeks ago? Would anyone be interested in starting a facebook page for the Fall cohort? Maybe an easier way to communicate?
