St. Scholastica post-bacc

[mishamo]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone completed or got accepted into the St. Scholastica post bacc program at either St.Cloud or Duluth, or has any information about how their program works etc.

I have been accepted for their September cohort and I am looking for someone that could tell me more about the program.

Where do they do clinicals, how demanding is it, more details about the infividual classes.

Basically anything would be interesting at this point.

Hope to hear from someone,

M.

Hi Mishamo, I was wondering about St. Scholastica's post bacc program as well. I applied for their May 2018 session (Duluth) and if accepted I'd be moving from the West Coast. I'm confused if it actually awards you a BSN?

Yes, it awards you a real life BSN. The program is heavily Public Health focused, but almost a complete majority of my class that graduated a few years ago is employed in the hospital. A few of us went directly into critical care, and more eventually found themselves there. There are many complaints about the organization which are legitimate, but the bottom line is that the program is well respected in the area and they push ya through in 15 months which is nice. The biggest downside is the debt... The clinicals range from local long term care centers, san marco (google it), almost every unit in our local hospitals and also many large hospitals in the twin cities. You could get into the ED, ICU, step down, general floors and there is a rural unit as well which is really rewarding. Good luck to you two!
