ABSN Program Admissions Process
Ready to start your nursing school journey with our Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program? Here we break down the first four steps you need to take to begin the admissions process.
1. Talk to an Admissions Counselor
The first step in the Accelerated BSN program’s admissions process is speaking to an admissions counselor. You will be assigned a dedicated counselor who will contact you regularly throughout the application and enrollment process.
During your initial call, you’ll provide a little background about yourself, including what inspired you to want to become a nurse and what you’re looking for in a nursing program. This will help your admissions counselor get a sense for whether an Accelerated BSN program is right for you.
Your admissions counselor will also go into greater detail about the program and admissions requirements. If the program is right for you, they will outline your next steps at the end of the admissions call.
2. Develop Your Academic Success Plan
Everyone’s educational background is different, meaning the steps to get into nursing school vary across applicants. As part of the application process, we’ll evaluate your academic background and transcripts to determine what steps you must take to be eligible for Felician University’s ABSN program.
This may include fulfilling prerequisite course requirements or passing a challenge examination for a required science course you took more than 10 years ago. You may also need to retake a course to raise your GPA.
Once you have a clear sense of everything you need to accomplish, we can target a specific start date for the Hybrid program in January, May or September or the On-Ground program in September.
3. Successfully Complete Any Necessary Prerequisites
As part of our Accelerated BSN program admissions process, you will need to successfully complete the prerequisite coursework requirements. How many you must complete depends on how recent your previous college experience is and your past degree or academic focus.
In order to meet the ABSN eligibility requirements, you must complete the prerequisite coursework with a C+ or higher grade.
4. Complete Your Nursing School Application
You can complete the ABSN program application online and submit:
- All official transcripts from the college or university you previously attended
- A professional resume
- A letter of intent to the Felician University School of Nursing and Health Sciences
- Two academic or professional letters of recommendation
