Utica College Accelerated BSN Schedule 2016

[campka]

I'm looking into Utica College's Accelerated BSN program. I have a 3.8 GPA, so I think I'll be okay with the online classes. My main concern is the in-person schedule. Is anyone in the program that can give me some insight as to how the clinical and other on-site activities are scheduled?

What does it look like for each semester? Does the schedule change throughout the semester? Is there any kind of flexibility in the program? How much notice are you given as far as when you need to be on-site? I know the program has had some growing pains, so I'm particularly interested in how the current program is operating now.

Hey, I was wondering if you were able to find any more info on the schedule for the Utica ABSN program? I was also accepted to the program and would love to have more details about what to expect, but it seems hard to find anything

I didn't get any specifics and I'm sensing that the schedule is completely non-negotiable. All the admissions person was willing to tell me was that I'd get the schedule for the whole semester at orientation. So, we only have a week to get daycare and our life situated before classes and clinical start.

Do you mind if I ask if you are looking at the NY or Florida location?

I spoke with a woman today and it sounds like from what she said that it's usually 3-4 days on campus doing labs and testing and whatnot, and then after the first 8 weeks clinicals are one day on the weekend.

She also said that the schedule you have would remain the same for the duration of the semester, so it wouldn't be changing constantly

Sorry, I actually meant 2-3 days on campus, not 3-4 days.

[campka]

Yes, first I was told it was two days in person. Then it was changed to 2-3 days. Last time I spoke with someone in the office it was 3-4 days in-person. I think the discrepancy is from lab/test days verses lab plus clinical days.

Depends on what semester you are in... 1st sem there are 2 lab days, 2nd there is 1 lab day... You have to go in for proctored exams too

Hello, do you remember how many proctored exams do you have each semester?
