I'm a new user to this board and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Regis University's BSN program. It is a good program and would you recommend it? I'm still completing my prereqs and thought it might be a good match for me. Any feedback and comments are appreaciated! Thank you!

Michelle,

Regis has a pretty good reputation as nursing schools go. I guess you need to ask yourself questions regarding money, convenience, time, living arrangements, etc. I took a A&P class at Regis. It was a fine experience...good teacher, great classmates, lots of money though! I got a very strange attitude from a professor, however, in that I wasn't completely assured admission (into their PT program...not nursing) unless I had received my B.A. from Regis (basically, had I given them money before). That's what turned me away from the school.

I am currently in a nursing graduate degree program at UCHSC (University of CO Health Sciences Center) and I have to say I'm glad I'm here. I've also heard some really good things about local community college programs as well. Do a little searching and if at all possible try and talk to a couple of students at different schools as well as professors or faculty advisors. Just some insights!

Good luck!

I am also a graduate of Regis, class of 1999. Total tuition cost were around 22,000.00 with my final semester paid for by grants. I would say that my education was excellent, but keep in mind education is only as good as your commitment. Would not suggest a ADN degree if you plan on obtaining an advanced degree in nursing. You would only end up spending more money and time to get your BSN when you could have achieved the same goal the first time around.
