Anyone applying to Brenau nursing program, or attended their program?

Hi! I am considering applying to Brenau's part time program. I had the same questions about the NCLEX scores. I will be taking prerequisites in the Fall and I am going to continue to monitor their progress. Sorry, I don't have anymore information .

I applied to Brenau nursing and was accepted for Fall 2012. I decided not to attend because of the poor NCLEX scores and the fact that they are currently on some sort of probation for the scores. I also spoke to several 2012 graduates of the program and they confirmed that it wasn't a good program. I decided to go to NGCSU for my ASN and take the extra year to get my BSN. I didn't see the point of paying that much money for an education ($10K+/semester) when it wasn't a quality education. If you are interested in a private school and don't mind paying tuition check into the nursing program at Piedmont College in Demorest. They have excellent reviews and the NCLEX pass rate has been 100% for the last few years. I wanted to attend Piedmont but when it came time to decide the financial impact of a private education was just too much.

Thanks so much for responding.. The NCLEX rate is concerning and I don't know anyone that has attended their program. I will definitely check out Piedmont college, or I just may end up going similar route as you with ASN then bridge to BSN

I am also applying to Brenau nursing program for May 2013. Are you applying for fulltime or part time? I am only a prenursing student at Brenau, but I do know a couple of people in the nursing program. They tell me it is a lot of work but really like it. So far I love Brenau and I hope to get in and I hope you get in too.

Yes I'm applying for may 2013 full time. I was a little hesitant about the nclex pass rate there at one point, but I spoke with some of the staff and I'm excited to apply there.. I'm starting at brenau this fall to take chemistry and Spanish. Have you taken the Kaplan yet? I hope we get in too(-:

The teachers are great and classes are small. I was use to the classes at a big university where you're just a #. (I transferred from umass) yes, i have taken the Kaplan Nightmare. Just waiting now and hoping my prayers are answered!

I was worried about the pass rate too but I have confidence that everything will be ok.
