Marian University ABSN Summer 2018

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey guys! I just got conditionally accepted into the program. I am currently taking 3 MAP courses and as long as I pass them - I'm in :) Has anyone else been reserved a seat yet? I know the official acceptances come out on March 12th.

Anyone looking for a roommate?

Are you going to Nashville campus? I'm thinking of going to this school! Do you know if you can take the nclex in California after graduating? Lastly, what is the cost of the program! Thank you :)

Program costs $50k. I have to repeat two classes from the first semester so it'll be a little more now. I'm at the Indianapolis campus, and yes I believe I can register for the NCLEX in Cali afterwards. I wouldn't recommend this school personally - but i'm stuck now. If you don't get into any other schools then come to this one - it's easy to get in to.

I am starting this August in Nashville. Are you in Nashville or Indy? What classes did you find the hardest for your first semester?

The hardest class was definitely Patho and the second hardest was Pharm. I have to retake both of them next semester.

Why do you not recommend the school? Are you doing the online format?

Yes, I'm in the Online ABSN and I don't recommend the school UNLESS it's the only school you got into because it's super expensive ($50k for the whole program), you're pretty much on your own and your professors don't make the exams. Another company does so sometimes exams don't match what you actually learned. I personally don't feel like professors are supportive and they constantly make you feel like you shouldn't be a nurse just because you mess up on minor things. The benefits are that you'll only have clincial/lab 1-3 times a week and you get more time at home.

I would really appreciate it if you could answer this concern I have about this school. I have seen job ads that say if you graduate from an online BSN school don't apply for the job. What do they mean by that? Is Marian considered an online BSN program? I know it's hybrid but does that make a difference? Is there anywhere in the degree say that the program was online? How is the reputation of the program?

I just wanted to clarify that Marian University is actually a great school so far. I entered for Fall 2018 because I was having a hard time getting into a absn in nyc. I just took my first patho exam and got a 95, and I feel like the professor is awesome even if you don't see him in person. They really want you to pass here and everyone is friendly and helpful. You must work hard like with any school! If you can apply and get in I would recommend it.

Do their online prerequisites transfer to other colleges and universities?

Yes, they do. I am taking two courses and other nursing schools I am applying to/or have applied to all accept their online courses.

Are you still enrolled in Marian's ABSN? How is it going?
