Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey ya'll!

Hope everyone is healthy and safe!

I wanted to know if anyone could share their experience (current/previous) in the ABSN program. What are the course load and clinic hours like? Is working part-time feasible? How did students pay for housing and living costs while in school (loans, scholarships, family help, etc.) What would you have done differently going into the program as well during the program? What specialities did you get to experience in your clinical rotations? Do you have a residency lined up or job offers?

Looking forward to your responses, cheers!

How did you guys feel about the proctored essay? how many words did you manage to write? 

 

Specializes in CNA.

Nervous I guess. I got about 500 ish words in, worried it wasn't enough. ??

I was nervous too. not sure if I explained the concept of health determinants sufficiently and how it is related to COVID-19 and what a nurse's role should be. What important points did you guys raise? 

I was so nervous too and I didn't write much for the essay. How did you guys do for the math portion? I think I got mixed up with the formula..

I wrote about 470 words I think. Math was OK for me but I am still nervous!

I honestly think they’re looking for quality over quantity, so I wouldn’t be worried about word count! I’m sure everyone did a great job ?

I also wrote around 500 words. I have no healthcare experience so I hope I did a sufficient job all things considered. For the math, I feel confident aside from the first problem. Hand writing the calculations left me with 124.95, but when I used a calculator after submitting the essay, it came out to 125. Hoping that’s forgiven LOL. 
 

and now, we wait! ? 

did all of you take your prerequisites recently ? I took half of mine a few years ago. how would that impact?

I took my natural world pre reqs this year and my statistics and lifespan development last year. The info session PowerPoint said while there’s no expiration requirement, they do like to see that it’s fairly recent. I think a couple years is considered recent! 

For math 2nd & 3rd I got, 

1 / 12.5 - not confident with the 2nd one would you be able to share what you got? 

first one - I got 125ml

second one 1 ml 

third one - 12.5 ml. 

for the essay part - Can you share some of the points you included?
