Mount St. Mary's nursing ADN program, Spring 2012; any advice?

NursingMatt · Nov 11, 2011

Heyo all! I just mailed in my tuition deposit, acceptance decision, and finished off my FAFSA. Looking forward to meeting people at orientation on December the 2nd if all works out well. I have to say though, I'm slightly perplexed by the lack of reviews overall on the net about this particular program at Mount St. Mary's. Having lived in southern California all my life, I've always heard great things about their nursing department, yet when it finally came time to apply and to give serious thought to if I wanted to accept their offer, I could find almost no reviews or opinions about the program. Thanks for sharing your insight herring_RN!

Catch you all later!

Regards, Matt.

P.S. I was accepted into the Pre-nursing option since I still have a few pre-requisites to complete. Part of the reason I applied to this program was due to the fact that I've been so aggravated about the fact that I've spent a year and a half at a local community college, and this current semester is the only one I've been able to even obtain a science pre-req!

Hey, sorry I haven't been on in awhile! I got accepted into the direct nursing option and look forward to seeing you at the orientation! Thanks herring_rn for your vote of confidence in the school and its students! I hope to be one of the good ones as you describe!

Hi Student 2012,

I would recommend attending Mount St. Mary's College. I entered through their Weekend College Program and I just got my letter of admittance today that I'm accepted to enter their pre-nursing A.D.N. program, Spring 2012. So far my experience at the school is great, I've taken two pre-courses that will transfer into pre-nursing. The teachers are helpful, there is a smaller professor to student ratio, and the whole ambiance of the school is peaceful. The likelihood of getting the courses you need are higher, the tuition however isn't cheap, but you pay for what you get. The nursing admission staff is helpful if you have questions about transferring in so you can always call them. I wish you the best and I'm excited to be accepted to the Mount's nursing program! Wohoo!

Hey guys! I'm currently finishing up the end of my first year in the ADN program at MSMC. I know that there isn't a lot of information out on the internet about the program, so please email me if you have any questions at all. [email protected]

There's no doubt that MSMC students are the best at clinical sites. We're extremely professional and know far more than most nursing students I know. BUT, there's a reason for that.

The program is currently in flux. There are a lot of changes going on and I would *highly* recommend that you go to another school if you can. I'll get more into detail about all of that not on a public forum. =)

Hi Matt,

Congratulations on your acceptance in Mt. Saint Mary's. Question for you. Do you have a Bachelor's degree already? I already have a Bachelor's but in a different field. I'm trying to figure out where to start! Any advise? I was looking at the ADN program at Mt. Saint Mary's - did you complete all your prereqs prior?
