Is Rasmussen a good school for nursing?

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone can shed some light for me. I'm thinking of attending Rasmussen in Blaine, MN in October 2015, and wondering if anyone has attended the Nursing program there.

Try to stay away from Rasmussen. All the hospitals in the Twin Cities desire nurses with a bachelor's, and absolutely will not hire a nurse from an unaccredited school of nursing. Rasmussen is regionally accredited, but they aren't accredited by either the NLN or CCNE. You will have a hard job finding work in other areas than home health or LTC, and advancement in the profession is near impossible, most graduate programs will not accept you without an accredited degree.

That pass rate for NCLEX is not acceptable, especially for a ForProfit school.

Thanks for your input. I have decided to stay away from Rasmussen and continue at a University. The passing rate, on the NCLEX, is 100%. Although, I it will take a little more time, I'll feel a lot better when I finish.

I think that's a smart choice. Best wishes for your journey!

The quality of education for nursing at many Rasmussen campuses is abysmal. 50-60% overall NCLEX pass rates are terrible. I'm surprised this company is still in business.
