University at Buffalo ABSN 2021

[noramaye]

Hi everyone! I am taking the prerequisites I need to apply to the University at Buffalo ABSN program, to hopefully start in May 2021. I was wondering if anyone has any idea which types of applicants tend to get in (what kind of experience they have, etc.), and how much they value healthcare experience. Any input at all about the program is greatly appreciated!

I checked back in Spring 2020 directly with nursing department.

I am not finding it on Taurus as approved. 
Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing?

 

I went under Search By School and Geneva College. And if you go to the Prerequisites page for UB’s ABS program, at the end it says “NRS999PMYTR” under Transfer Equivalencies.

If you click on the green text bubble does it give an equivalency?

It says “NOC” but if you go to the Prerequisites page for UB’s ABS program, at the end it says “NRS999PMYTR” under Transfer Equivalencies. so I’m hoping that means it might transfer in or else I’ll just have to take it directly at UB in the Spring.

I would just ask. I would hate to have someone waste their money and find out they are missing a prereq. If you find out you can use it to fulfill the requirement, can you let me know?

Yeah I will! I just emailed Julie earlier so hopefully I’ll know sometime tomorrow and it’ll be some good news!

Apparently Pharm at Cayuga CC transfers and you can take it non-matriculated online. Last I checked they weren’t enrolling non-matriculated for Spring yet but I’ll check again tonight. I’m taking that and patho at Erie in the Spring. I’m local but I got waitlisted - congratulations to you all!

I thought you needed a bunch of Nursing courses done before you can take the Pharm course? Can we take it without? 

[noramaye]

Their course catalog doesn’t list any & Julie told me a few months ago that people often take Pharm at Cayuga. I just applied for the course tonight - I’ll let you know when I hear back.

Is anyone finishing up 3 prerequisites in Spring? Or is everyone just taking 2 in Spring prior to program start? Which prereqs do you all have outstanding, if any?

I might end up taking pharm at ub too if I can’t take it through portage learning. Study buddies?

Absolutely!

Also if anyone ends up making a facebook group for our cohort make sure to post the link!
