UNE ABSN 2017

[Hilary91]

littlefeets, I'd contact the programs you're wanting to attend after UNE (or the school you attend) and find out what accreditations they accept. From what I've read, both ACEN and CCNE are "two of the most recognized accrediting agencies in the nation."

Here's a website that helped me better understand the difference between the two.

Hey littlefetts, i graduated from une's absn program this past May. Good resources, faculty is helpful.. portland maine very scenic- cold in the winter but its New England so ! I had my clinicals at Maine Medical Center and Mercy Hospital- both were good. long christmas breaK- which i appreciated! We used Kaplan throughout the entire program so that was also helpful! Good Luck!

ahh so I checked with both UNE and with the schools I am planning on applying to for masters programs and they all confirmed that ACEN was formerly NLN so all is well! Just put down my deposit, ahh!

Hi jodianh, can you explain what "we used Kaplan throughout the entire program" means? Also, if you don't mind me asking, how did you go about paying for a second bachelor's degree? This program is $70,000 and financial aid is limited due to having a previous bachelor's degree. Did you apply for any scholarships? Thank you!

Hey everyone, just got accepted to UNE too! So excited! Also waiting to hear back from schools but it's such a relief to be accepted to an accelerated program no doubt!

So who's officially going to UNE for the ABSN program starting in January 2017?! I started a facebook group called, 'University of New England ABSN Class of 2018.'

[littlefeets]

Yay! Thanks for making a fb group!

Hi all, I was just wondering since most of you got accepted at the absn program ... I'm just curious how competitive is it to get in the absn program at UNE ? Was it based on a grade point system admission and where can i see it?

Hey! I was accepted last month and am moving out there in a few weeks! I am really excited to be accepted to an ABSN program especially out in Maine. I can't wait to get started and meet you all! Ahh!

Hey everyone! Congratulations on everyone that got in! What was the time frame like, from when you submitted the application and got a decision? Thanks!
