UNE ABSN 2017

[Hilary91]

Just wanted to start a thread for UNE's ABSN program starting in January 2017. Anyone planning to attend this program?!

I have applied and am now waiting to hear from them. Have you been accepted?

Hi! I just got my acceptance letter today :) so so excited to finally get into nursing school! I am waiting to hear back from a few other schools and am hoping to hear any info about UNE in the meantime!

Congrats! I just got my acceptance letter on Saturday, very excited. Waiting to hear back from two other schools, then I will make my final decision. UNE is a great school, and the ABSN faculty seem great, so I will definitely be putting a seat deposit down.

[Hilary91]

Does it say in your acceptance letter when a seat deposit is due?

[janglingsoul]

I just got my letter, with a nice little scholarship chunk! Are you guys going to the Biddeford or the Portland campus?

[littlefeets]

I think I will definitely put my deposit down as well, even though I am waiting to hear back from a few other schools. Hilary91 we are given 21 days from the letter to put down a deposit. And janglingsoul I think the ABSN is only on the portland campus?

[littlefeets]

KBVT its nice to hear that UNE is a great school! I don't know much about it, so I was a little wary at first!

[Hilary91]

Thank you for the info littlefeets! janglingsoul, I'm almost positive the ABSN program is only on the Portland campus.

[janglingsoul]

Hilary91 and littlefeets, you all are absolutely right!! I was reading in a frenzy before going to work and saw that the return address from Biddeford and just assumed I was going there, whoops :) So tuition for UNE is $33,000 for 2 semesters, does that mean that we would pay $66,000 for the entire program?

[KBVT]

janglingsoul, I think tuition would be the 33,000 + a Summer Semester cost (which I'm assuming is dependent on the # of credits we take) + 1/2 of 33,000. So, if the summer semester consists of the same number of credits, then $66,000 seems accurate. And agreed, I think everything is on the Portland campus, unless we have a gross anatomy lab as that would be on the Biddeford campus.

hey I just wanted to see what you guys thought about the accreditation of UNE. It looks like most Masters in Nursing programs require a BSN from a school accredited by the NLN or the CCNE. It looks like UNE is only accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing. I feel really worried now that I won't be able to get into Masters programs with this school?
