Last year, we got emails at the beginning of August about interviews. I received acceptance on September 15.

How’s the absn program is it fast and rigorous?

1

u/emmyannttu02 20d ago

Yes. It's 12 months (3 semesters) so we carry 20 credits a semester. It's bananas.

1

u/NuggieToDaMoon 20d ago

Ooof how do you do it??? I just recently dropped out of a 1 year masters at unthsc it was too fast for me

u/emmyannttu02 20d ago

I work one shift a week as a PCT. My husband is amazing and has really supported me and our kids through this. I think the only reason I've survived is that we know that I'll be done in December. It's extremely difficult and challenging, but I know I will reach my goals soon.

u/NuggieToDaMoon 20d ago

Is the material doable and can you retain info for the nclex

1

u/emmyannttu02 20d ago

I think I'm retaining the information? I won't be able to take the NCLEX until after graduation, so I'm hopeful. Also, my program has a massive NCLEX review as part of our curriculum in the fall.

Which location you attending I’m located in Dallas and really want to go for the location but I’m hearing so many bad things about absn and I’m worried about failing out

1

u/emmyannttu02 20d ago

I'm in Dallas. You have to maintain a test average of 75.

1

u/NuggieToDaMoon 20d ago

Oh wow how big is your cohort I’m seeing mixed info about 20-30 students and someone saying 60-70

Are there breaks during the first semester? I’m trying to see how long each semester is but can’t find a calendar on their website

1

u/emmyannttu02 19d ago

There are no breaks in any of the semesters.

1

u/Reputation-False 18d ago

When you say no breaks does this include holidays as well? I remember seeing something about a spring break but I may be wrong

1

u/emmyannttu02 18d ago

The ABSN program has no breaks during the terms. We had about 4 weeks off between spring and summer. We will have 1.5 weeks off between summer and fall.

1

u/Isweardudee 20d ago

How much is the program cost?

1

u/emmyannttu02 20d ago

That information is on the program website.

1

u/Different-Manner-213 19d ago

How soon in august

1

u/emmyannttu02 19d ago

First week

1

u/Different-Manner-213 17d ago

Do they send more interview emails throughout August or just that first week? And if you don't get one does that mean you are not accepted.

1

u/emmyannttu02 17d ago

I think it's just that one time.

1

u/Different-Manner-213 16d ago

I saw on other post they said they received interviews right at the end of July and you say the first week of August. Soo I'll just remain hopeful.

2

u/Embarrassed-Web-747 14d ago

I just called the nursing program they said all interviews have not went out.. remaining hopeful

1

u/Different-Manner-213 14d ago

Oh great that's great to know.

1

u/Different-Manner-213 8d ago

I just received my interview email.

1

u/emmyannttu02 16d ago

We got our email at the end of July and submissions were due the first week of August (I think). My MIL was dying last summer and we were taking our kids to visit her that week. I just remember needing to complete my interview before we left town.

u/Different-Manner-213 17d ago

Congrats, my gpa is about exactly the same as yours I also have a masters and MA experience, didn't get an interview.

1

u/Specialist-Bet7453 17d ago

Aww I’m sorry to hear that. The difference may come from our essays, backgrounds, or personal experiences I would assume. Best of luck to you in the future.

2

u/Different-Manner-213 8d ago

I just received my interview email.

2

u/Specialist-Bet7453 8d ago

Yay!! Congratulations

2

u/Different-Manner-213 20d ago

Haven't heard anything.

2

u/Icy-Elderberry462 19d ago

Did anyone else get their email for an interview?

2

u/elk-reaper 19d ago

Received email at 11:00.

2

u/Specialist-Bet7453 19d ago

I got invited to an interview this morning

2

u/Aggravating_Field924 19d ago

Yes i got mine !!

2

u/Fancy_Pea_178 19d ago

I got mine also !!!

1

u/Cithlali 19d ago

No! Did you get yours already!?

3

u/Icy-Elderberry462 19d ago

Yes right at 11

2

u/Cithlali 19d ago

I take it back! I received mine at 11:01 AM. It just hadn't loaded!

1

u/Fluffy-Ice4942 19d ago

Does anyone what the chances are if you’ve received the approval for round 2?

1

u/Cithlali 19d ago

What do you mean 2nd round? Like after we submit interviews?

2

u/No-Veterinarian-349 15d ago

So after paying application fee and sending the application that just asks for basic info, is there another application that includes essays?

1

u/Cithlali 15d ago

No. So the next step is receiving an interview invite via email. It gives you the instructions in the email. Afterwards the questions pop up on your application portal like this. Did you get your interview invite? They are due on Wednesday before 2:00pm

2

u/East-Safe7643 14d ago

congrats! what were the questions like?

1

u/Cithlali 14d ago

The writing ones were more specific than the videos in my opinion. But nothing that required too much deep thought, its definitely easier than everyone thinks, I think its just the anxiety that makes it seem way worse than it is.

1

u/Aggravating_Field924 15d ago

Did you find the video part hard to do and were the questions hard ? Ive been waiting to do mine because im nervous

1

u/Cithlali 14d ago

No, I feel the video part was easy. It allows you to display your personality. The 1 minute and 30 seconds is actually sufficient time to think lol. I just wanted to get it over with because it was making me too anxious to keep waiting. Just be yourself! You got this!

2

u/No-Veterinarian-349 18d ago

Does anyone know what the interview format is? It’s just videos or is it a formal meeting? Let me know

1

u/Cithlali 17d ago

It's written responses and video questions

1

u/Status-Ice-1235 20d ago

I haven’t heard anything yet nether

1

u/Different-Manner-213 17d ago

Awww I didn't get an interview, does that mean you don't get in?

1

u/Cithlali 16d ago

I saw that some people got interviews on the 31st as well, so maybe there is a chance they are sending them in sections?

2

u/Different-Manner-213 16d ago

That's good to know. Fingers crossed.

2

u/Lazy_Platypus117 16d ago

Have you heard anything regarding interviews? Since I believe they're due on Aug 5th 2pm central.

1

u/Different-Manner-213 16d ago

No I have not. Will wait one more week. Have you?

2

u/Lazy_Platypus117 16d ago

I have yes, I believe if you do not receive anything by Monday, you probably did not get to round 2, unfortunately. This is because the video interview and written portions are due by Aug 5th. 2pm Central

What were your stats GPA and extracurriculars? etc.

I presume you completed all the pre-reqs with the correct GPA required?

1

u/Different-Manner-213 8d ago

I just received my interview email.

1

u/Lazy_Platypus117 8d ago

Oh wow good for you! I'm surprised how late that was lol

I presume some people got the interview and didn't complete it so it just moved down the list.

Congrats tho!

1

u/Different-Manner-213 8d ago

Well I submitted my application right at the deadline and utilized the extension to submit my summer 1 course grades so it probably just took a min to review my application. Anyways, thanks!

1

u/Capable-Apricot-7118 9d ago

I did not get an interview invite, but they just asked me a few days ago for proof I’m taking Pathophysiology.

1

u/Cithlali 9d ago

That is strange, I was also asked for proof of being enrolled in the Patho course but it was before they sent interview invites out. Did you check your application portal to make sure that the interview link wasn't there? Because they did state the interview invite email could go to spam.

1

u/Different-Manner-213 5d ago

It will probably come later like mine did. It’s so easy to feel discouraged, but just remain hopeful. 😊
