Neumann UniversityTraditional Nursing 2014

I've been wondering the same thing. I just got accepted to the part-time program at Neumann for Fall 2014. I've been doing some research on this website about the school and I have only seen one person post a negative comment on how the staff doesn't help you, etc. I've found its hard to go by what's on this site just because there are a lot of opinions vs facts and you never know the situation that person may have been in. I have an appt next week to meet with the Academic Advisor and I have lots of questions to ask so hopefully I will get the scoop! Good luck to you in nursing school! :)

Thank you and good luck to you as well! But please let me know how your meeting goes. I can't seem to find a solid website with factual information on it.

Alright so I had my meeting with the academic advisor at Neumann and I will not be going there (but this is my choice). First off, they sent me a letter that I would be starting nursing classes in Fall 2014. Couldnt wait to start. Then I go talk to my advisor and she tells me that I won't start nursing classes until Fall 2016!! I was VERY unhappy, seeing as my acceptance letter said 2014. I asked her why they sent me that letter and the answer was, well that is how they have to word the letters, because they can't go by a case by case basis. Apparently I have to take an additional 12 classes before nursing classes. Sister Jude was very nice and semi-helpful but I was upset that they just LIED to me. They want that $!

As far as everything else goes, it seems to be a decent school. They have about 60 students in the part-time program and about 130 in the day BSN program. The help available (or tutoring) from staff for part-time nursing is minimal according to Sr. Jude. There is more help available to day time students but in the evening there is minimal help. They don't have any entrance exams but they do use the HESI exam. Thats all i can remember for now, I didn't ask too many questions because I knew I wasnt going to be waiting around until 2016 :)

Hope this helps! Good luck to you!
