Monroe College in Bronx ny

Nursing Students School Programs

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 :)

@Joyonelittle  Reading some comments on here how there is no skills validation besides head to toe is really concerning. In the LPN program at a community college we even got a skills exam on foley, bp, head to toe and wound care..... is this true? because I don't want to waste my time or money on a school that's not gonna help me become a more competent nurse. ?

@Joyonelittle  OMG congratulations!! I bet you are feeling sooo relieved!

I just got accepted to Monroe for the LPN-RN program. Is there anything you would recommend or not recommend as far as classes, professors etc.?

Also is it true we will be in class Monday-Friday 8-5. that's gonna be sooo hard! gonna have to do nights at work!

Thank you so much!

Congratulations on your acceptance!

As far as class and professors goes Registrar will pick the professors, classes and make your schedule. Yes, it's full time so classes will be daily in the morning ending in the late afternoon or evening which is a lot but doable if you have support. I was fortunate to be able to not have to work with no children and focus on school 100% but I had previous cohorts that worked, had kids, other responsibilities and still managed to study and pass. Which again is absolutely hard but it can be done. 
 

I strongly recommend to get ahead, when you have time look over the syllabus, start watching YouTube videos about the subject (my fave is simple nursing) or even read the textbook ahead to get an idea of the lecture. Do the ATIs, have supportive classmates that are serious and hard working, make time to study and relax because if you don't find time for yourself, you will get too stressed and overwhelmed which can impact your studies. 
 

I wish you all the best

I was a student starting out during COVID so everything was online and I can admit skills validation wasn't resourceful during that time. Now, yes it is. If I needed extra help, I spoke to my professor and the Dean for one on one help to sharpen my validation skills after classes.
