[@multitieredinvestor5246]

Granddaughter is in a 11 month 8 day ABSN program University of Houston. She is halfway through. She has a fully supportive family. She graduates Dec 2020.

are you currently working right now? i think that’s my main problem, trying to figure out how i’ll help with bills

[@bbv4161]

I found this video a little late.. like 2 years late lol. But i'm in an ABSN program and I was accepted straight from high school, didn't need a previous bachelor's. I think more ABSNs are changing to accept people without a previous bachelor's.

wow what school is that if you dont mind me asking? name and location of the school?

[@bbv4161]

@@moonlightandstaryeyesbestr6061 MCPHS University in Massachusetts.. but I recommend looking at other ABSN programs. There are a few of them in Massachusetts if that's where you're looking into

[@StrikeforceJedi]

Yes this is true. I'm 32 years old and applying to GCU with no previous bachelor's. They are accepting me into the ABSN program. A few years back they did seem to require it. I guess things changed after covid.

I just got accepted to ABSN 16months and BSN 2.5 yrs.. I’m confused whether to pick one over the other 😭😭😭

I am going into the accelerated program as a senior in College because my school allows us to transfer in if we have the pre-reqs and grades done by junior year.-but I was wondering if you thought it was possible to go out on the weekends occasionally (seeing as it is my senior year) i keep telling myself that if i work hard enough i will be able to but dont want to mislead myself early on lol

[@fitnursety3339]

Great question Clara, Based on my personal experience, I have pretty much gone out and do minor traveling every single weekend. I also go to the gym 4-5 times a week while in the program as well. Not only that, I would go out after class a lot of times too. Now going out for me did not involve going out and staying up late, it meant visiting family in different cities, visiting malls, going on dates, ect. But the trick I have learned from this is that, frequency of studying, spaced apart made the difference in allowing me to go have some fun. For example, if were going out shopping, I would bring a specific topic that I wanted to study and frequently look at the notes while I was walking around the mall. Spacing studying out into chunks is MUCH more effective for me. Sorry for the long response, but do not worry about it! Set yourself up with a PLAN. set yourself up with GOALS. Just doing that already puts you ahead of the curve (Lots of research backs me up on that one). And last but not least, Make sure you are getting sleep. Cannot tell you how important that is. Thanks for watching!

How is the MSN?

Hey man was it hard to find funding for the program ? I keep hearing it’s hard to find funding to get a second bachelors

[@leahgreen1624]

Thanks for your video, but what if I have already finished my bachelor degree and left university? Where can I take the extra prerequisite class in order to get into an ABSN program?

[@fitnursety3339]

Great question! Usually there are community colleges or universities in general near you that have those pre reqs for you to take. I know there are plenty of online classes you could take as well. Just make sure you ask the school your applying to if they accept that class/credits from that college.

Portage learning website. All online even the lab part especially for the science classes like AP 1 AND 2 and chem

[@diyapatel0026]

Which one paid more salary after completion of ABSN or traditional BSN ?

[@TheCardboardPizza]

Both result in a BSN, there shouldn't be a difference in pay starting.

Can anyone with BA degree apply only for ABSN? Is it possible to apply for traditional route?

[@erinnorwood6124]

@@ekim8690 yes you can apply for traditional but it depends on the school....thinking on that myself as it seems absn may be harder maybe
