MSOE Nursing Program

[Schaeuble]

This is my first post on this website so I'm a little new, but figured who better to look to for help than other nurses/nursing students. I'm currently a pre-nursing student at UW-Milwaukee and wasn't able to get into the program due to the excessive number of students who applied. This has gotten me interested in looking at different schools that have nursing programs, with the frontrunner being MSOE.

I was curious about if anybody has made this transfer before or even just gone to the nursing program there right off the bat, no transfer. If so, please tell me EVERYTHING! I'm trying to piece together costs, the integrity of the program, and what I will get out of it; also, what did you like about the program and what was the most difficult thing you encountered? Was it hard to get in? Were the classes difficult? Were the teachers helpful? I'll be commuting and walking around on campus - is it a safe campus? Does the nursing college work with hospitals around the area and do they offer clinicals in specialty areas (ER, ICU, etc).

I'm not particularly interested in taking a semester off to wait and reapply at UWM (even though it is an excellent school) which is why I have been looking at MSOE to start up again in the Fall. My major concern is how good and reputable the program is, and how much the school helps in the way of tuition costs (UWM tuition is relatively average for a public school, I'm still trying to wrap my head around private school tuition) but please let me know how everything works there as far as the nursing program.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Any tips or help on this institution and its program would be greatly appreciated and definitely help me in making an educated decision! :)
