Monroe College in Bronx ny

Published

I recently got accepted to Monroe College for the fall 2020 nursing program, I haven’t seen recent reviews about the school and I want to make sure I’m making the right decision. Has anyone attended the school, or graduated?

Im not looking to put all my eggs into one basket so I’m still applying for other schools as well.

Thank you :)

Hey guys. I’m asking on behalf of a friend interested in doing the ABSN program at Monroe ? Do you guys know how long the program is ? She did a bachelors degree her overall GPA is 3.0 or 3.1. She had done some of the prerequisites listed on Monroe’s site already for her degree but she never did so well in terms of grades. Is it possible for her to do them over and get higher grades to become more competitive  ? She’s really smart but she fell back in school because of personal reasons. I just want to know what her chances of getting in are. Also, how long did taking perquisites take for you guys and where did you take them ? How much students do they take per year ? Any advice or feedback would be good. Thank you ?.

Hi everyone!

For the Labcorp drug screen which option should I pick?

The Employment drug testing or Radar (point of collection drug screen).

Hey, I hope you’re doing well! I got accepted to the nursing program for Winter 2022. I wanted to know how was the program for you since you got accepted on 2020. Thank you!

Hi guys, if anyone can share their experience with us, it will be very helpful as I got accepted for the Winter 2022.

I don't think she has to do them over as my grades weren't that good and I was accepted for Spring 2022, I took most of the pre reqs beforehand and now I'm taking the ones I didn't know about until being accepted into Monroe. The classes are taking me 2 semesters to complete Fall and Winter as I'm taking 7 classes. I'm not sure how many students they take per year but the classes aren't that big.

Hello

First, I want to congratulate you on your acceptance.

Secondly, I’m going to be completely honest with you. If I knew what I knew now and had more information on Monroe college nursing program before applying, I would of NEVER applied.
 

Since being accepted in the fall 2020 semester program, the school was unacceptably unorganized and still is one year later. It is very overwhelming dealing with this school. A lot of important information that I should of learned as a nursing student wasn’t taught and studying for my NCLEX I used outside resources which helped me much more.

It’s a long list of why I wouldn’t recommend the school to my friends or family.

But I will say, this was my own experience dealing with this and your experience maybe different than mine once you start and I hope that’s the case. So please don’t be discouraged.

I strongly advise seeking help from your fellow classmates, stick together, help one another, write everything down or have the class recorded so you can go back to it, always find time to study and prioritize your time when it comes to doing the assignments. As time processes you’ll start to find what works for you when it comes to your learning style.


It’s a long and difficult process but it’s doable. 
 

Always keep your eyes on the prize.✨

I wish you and all the students the best of luck.

I am in the first semester progressive RN. I also completed my LPN there. First off, the nursing department is a hot mess. Second, you’re most likely going to end up teaching yourself. Third, they only care about their keeping their stats high, and are only giving us one shot at passing the NCLEX even though we basically are teaching ourselves. I can count on ONE hand the number of in person clinical days we’ve actually been able to have. It’s been completely online for the most part and to be honest, if I had the opportunity to take acceptance elsewhere I would have. Monroe is doable if you’re good at self study, but keep your options wide open if possible.

We’re in the same cohort and I agree you 100%.

I would not recommend Monroe to anyone I know.

Do you have a list of the textbooks you used for your nursing classes? I’d like to start reviewing but they have not settled classes

Is this program only available for students who have all their prereqs? Also is the new rochelle or bronx location better? Im looking to apply for their progressive option.

The Progressive program has the prerequisite courses along with the nursing courses but it will be too many of classes in one semester in my opinion. The nursing program is only available at the Bronx campus.
