Any Webster (Rasmussen) nursing students?

Published

Hello, I was just accepted into the program at Rasmussen College and I wanted to know a little more about their program from other students.

Specializes in geriatrics,emergency,hospice.

Hey...

Im still attending Rasmussen, Ocala campus. I graduate in 6 months. They have conditional approval, which means when they graduate "X" amount of people, they will have full approval. Its a good school. The classes are small, and there is one on one instruction. We have a good variety of clinicals at the area hospitals. To get in, you have to get a pretty good score on the HESI. Im not sure what that score is. Like all schools, and new programs, there are gliches, but they are getting worked out. Since this is a private school, the tuition is ALOT higher than the community college. That is a factor to consider. They are regionally accredited and the credits will transfer to another school, but it is up to whatever school if they will accept the credits since it is a private school.

Hope this helps.

By the way, for the other poster, as far as I know there is no bridge program. It is RN only. The Pasco County campus has an LPN program.

Hello. I am currently looking into Rasmussen myself, Fort Myers Campus. I am attending the nursing information session next Friday.

For those who are already attending, what is required for admission? The person I spoke to on the phone said there are no pre req's which surprised me. I also wanted to see what I can expect tuition wise.

While I am attending this info session next Friday, I would love to have info before I go!

Have great Day!

I begin my LPN at Rasmussen next week and I am very excited. I have checked out many colleges in my area and most are either a long waiting period to be accepted or don't give you much education. I am very happy with my decision.

Just wanted to follow up with any Rasmussen RN students or graduates. I begin Jan 3, 12 and want to see if any other new students will be starting, or how current students are enjoying the program? I appreciate any feedback!

LOL...I see you are excited as you ask alot of questions. That's the attitude to have... and dont be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand something. the instructors are great and they will repeat it or explain it in a different way until you understand it. Which I think is awesome! Just DON'T be afraid to speak up. This is your education and you are paying for it. Our campus in NPR, FL I love I think its great. Will not graduate until Sept of 13' I hear there are plenty of postions available. I plan on bridging over and doing RN not sure if it will be at Rasmussen as it is alittle expensive but I will see what they have to offer when the time comes. Let me know your schedule as you should of confirmed it already. Maybe we can say hey. and I'm here if you need anything.:grpwlcm:
