U.S.A. New York

Published

Anyone out there that applied to the Monroe College 2013 Nursing LPN Program ?

I just finished my associates RN at monroe college , WATCH-OUT!!!! this program is NOT ACCREDITED( its accredited by the state which they will tell you, but it needs to be nationally accredited), if you looking to work in a hospital- do not expect find a job when you graduate, almost all hospitals require students to graduate from an NLN or CCNE accredited college.

Im currently going to an RN-BSN college that is NLN CCNE accredited- thank- god I'm not making a mistake this time around.

Also 20,000 a year LPN year

Another 20,000 Associated Rn=$ 40,000 (this college is WAY too expensive) prob cause its for profit

Hi Cathy,

Have you had any problems getting a job? I finally found a job after 3 months. I know that monroe is not accredited but it really does not seem to make a difference in the landing a job. .

For whoever is looking into information the nursing program is definitely a day program especially in regards to the nursing courses, the nursing courses are definitely day courses as per admissions, when it comes to courses that are considered pre-req's in your other schools such as ENG101, Developmental Psych, etc. these courses are sometimes offered at night. Despite whoever said the school isn't nationally accredited it actually is! National League for Nursing - Membership

Hey folks,

I am proud to say that I am a graduate of Monroes LPN and RN program. I have no complaints whatsoever. The professors and nursing administration were excellent. Some tough and not so tough. They truly and genuinely care- Thats the spirit of Monroe College. Everyone cares even the president of the college. I have heard horror stories from other nursing students at CUNY schools and other schools and I must say we NEVER as students were treated unfairly or disrespected by the nursing staff. They will go out of their way to make sure you grasp nursing even when we are unsure.

As far as working- I had no problem finding a job as a LPN and as a RN when I completed the program. I graduated from the LPN program Dec 2012 and I graduated from the RN program in December 2013. I am currently working as a RN and I feel that I was very prepared.

As far as accredidation I dont think anyone should worry too much about their accrediation because its the license that matters. I am not in Monroes BSN program but I am in a RN to BS program at another school and I was admitted into the school with no problem.

Hope this helps anyone.
