College of Mount St Joseph MAGELIN- Direct Entry MSN.

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone here has recently done this program or thinking about attending. It is a 15 month program at the College of Mount St Joseph in Cincinnati. I applied and was set to go awhile back, but did not go for many reasons. Here again I am interested. If anyone else is thinking about MSJ or at MSJ, let's talk.

Hey!

You'll need a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff for Health Assessment but you can borrow one of theirs until the end of the semester. You'll definitely need one by clinicals. Book costs varied alot. I spent about $750, which seemed pretty average. Some people rented (which I don't recommend because you'll want to look through these as you go through clinicals) and some spent as much as $1250. It sounds like a lot but you use these books in more than just one class, and will reuse them in future semesters. They were really late getting us our advance reading list (which many were not happy about). Previous semesters got their about a month in advance of classes starting. We got our about 2 weeks before. It is possible to get through them all beforehand, but it is ALOT of reading. It does make you feel more prepared going into classes than if you don't do anything.

Thanks! What about the scrubs? Are they a uniform that you wear to class everyday or just to clinical s?

I'll also be starting this fall! Just wondering did everyone get that purple sheet of stuff we need to study? What is that exactly? And whats the best way to prep for it. Thanks!

Hey! You try on/order scrubs during orientation but they don't give them to you until right before clinicals. You wear regular clothes to class. :)

I like your info. I am also considering to study in this program. I am pretty nervous about it. Will you please let me know how hard is this program to complete how many students actually make it to end and how many are filtered out.
