I attend Resurrection University -- Ask me your questions!

U.S.A. Illinois

Published

Other threads about Resu applications had a lot of questions for me and other students about the program that are more personal, not technical, such as what it's like, the difficulty, etc. Rather than derail an existing thread and going off topic, I started this thread so you can ask me your questions.I just started at Resu in the daytime BSN in fall 2012. I love it! It's a lot of work but so far it's about what I expected. Please keep in mind I won't have all the answers right now because I just started my program, but over time hopefully I can help you even more.So let's keep this conversation going with your questions or concerns, and hopefully another present or past student will drop in as well!

The academic calendar is on the web site under Academics... and is here: http://resu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/2013-2014-Academic-Calendar1.pdf

Thanks...do you know what happens if I were to try to push back a semester? I am getting married in August of next summer, so there is the possibility I would want the preceeding weeks off...

I was wondering which science classes they take into consideration for the Science GPA? Is it every science class you've ever taken or do they have specific classes they look at? Thanks!

Yes, it's called deferring your enrollment. It's allowed I believe.

The science gpa is based on the science prerequisites that haven't expired or become to old. An old class from a long time ago does not factor in to science gpa, but it still affects your cumulative gpa.

Renting saves so much money. It's the way to go. The only books I thought were keepers for all of school were a good care plan book, a good drug book, and an NCLEX book. Everything else I can use as reference from the library. Some people even use one edition older just to save money, but then you will have to hunt to match up content a little more. But even that is doable.

Has anyone taken out private loans? Who did you use for them? Just looking to go with the best company.

Hi

Can you please help me, I would like to get my BSN in Resurrection Univ. now I'm taking my classes in Triton college for Associate in nursing. When I get my Associate in nursing can I apply for Resurrection? or can I apply for Resurrection without having my associate in nursing?

Yes. You could just go to res for their regular BSN program.
