Hello there,

I was a graduate of UNE's ABSN class of 2015. I started the program on 12/2013 and finished it on 05/2015. My cohort is the last cohort using 17 months. Overall, I found that the program prepared me well to be an RN. All of my professors (some were not there anymore) were very supportive and cared about the success of students. The program integrates Kaplan into the curriculum, and I found it super helpful on NCLEX. All of my classmates who finished the program got job in the hospital within 3 months passing NCLEX (including myself). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Good luck,

Joseph, RN

Thank you so much,

Is the program competitive? Do you know how many applications they receive? UNE is my top choice but I don't know if I'm a strong enough candidate?

Hello,

I have no idea whether the program is competitive or how many people apply each year.

Good luck.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Ryan and I just received notice on 07/28/17 that I was accepted to UNE's ABSN program for the Spring of 2018. I have 21 days to submit my deposit and letter of intent. I would love to hear from other applicants who have also applied and are either waiting to hear back or have submitted their deposits and letter of intent.

Additionally, I will be moving from San Diego and will be looking to connect with other students for a housing accommodations. Please feel free to message me, especially if you are attending this cohort; I would love to meet you :)

Cheers,

Ryan H.

Hi Ryan my name is Haylie! It won't let me message you because I haven't posted enough "quality topics" I guess. But I'm also moving from California! I created a facebook group "University of New England Class of 2019" if you wanted to join that! I'm hoping more people can find it too since I don't know where to connect with the rest of our potential cohort at.
