just any general info? I went to Metro CC, not Methodist, but I have met a lot of nurses who did attend Methodist and at my job we have Methodist students who come to shadow or do clinicals here in our group home setting. Because of this I have spoken with a lot of Methodist students about the program, so I may be able to offer a little insight depending on what it is you are curious about.

Hi!

I was just wondering if it is a good school and if I will learn a lot? I know a lot of schools are just office buildings now a day that don’t offer a lot of resources but I just want to make sure I am putting my money toward a well rounded education to make me a good nurse some day! I’m from California so I have never heard of this school but so far I have enjoyed corresponding with the staff and the pictures I have seen of the campus !

thank you

From my understanding it seems like a pretty good school from talking to the students, challenging like any good nursing school, tests weekly which I'm sure is the norm. Seems like they have a good amount of clinical opportunities that we did not get at Metro, which could be tied to the difference in duration as obviously Methodist is a 4 year program. The students always talked to me about how long their OB clinicals were, psych clinicals, community health....we didn't really do much with those at my program to be honest, a couple days maybe if that...Methodists are weeks, more exposure, more experience. I've been to the campus for an ACLS class, seemed like a nice enough campus in a busier part of town (traffic sucks in that area). I feel like their students are probably overall more prepared than students from my program, however that isn't to say I didn't like my program, I did, and it was hard as hell. I liked that metro CC was fast paced, quick get it over with as fast as possible being a 2 year program.

Methodist has a pretty good name here in my opinion overall. I know a lot of people, many being nurses themselves who seem to agree that Methodist is probably the best hospital in the Omaha area. UNMC gets a lot of attention being affiliated with the University of Nebraska, but they have their issues too, CHI hospital seems to be the least favorite, although I do know of some good nurses and Drs there. Methodist (hospital) seems to be higher up on the satisfaction scale that more people trust. I think the school being affiliated with that hospital probably speaks to how good of a program it likely is.

I went to NMC. I started in the traditional program and transitioned to the accelerated program after a year and a half (had a few prerequisites to finish up). I found it to be an excellent school with professors that were very involved in your education and growth as a nursing student. I was fully prepared for the NCLEX and only did a 2 day review course prior to testing. Any particular questions or concerns feel free to reply or PM me.

Thank you for that information. I am admitted into the traditional program for January start. I have my CARE day in a week and a half. I only have like 3-4 pre-reqs left (research methods, pharmacology, etc). I was wondering how long is each class and can you take more than 1 class at a time? Also, was it an easy transition to get into the accelerated program as that is something I am interested in. How long did it take you to graduate once you were in the accelerated program?

I apologize for all the questions but I am so eager to get going with this school and excited.

thank you

Keep us posted on how it goes! I am thinking about applying to this program, but I cannot find any post about the accelerated program. Good Luck!
