I would like to hear from students of this program, do you recommend it? I can't imagine doing the didactic portion of a Nursing program online and then coming to campus/clinical sites for the rest of the program. Are students graduating from this program confident of their nursing skills and then going on to successfully pass the NCLEX?

I talked to the admissions office at Roseman and they said that the program was regionally accredited. I also found out that this program is a COHORT, so I suppose the program is sort of experimental.

I would love to hear from current or graduated students of this program.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reassurance @Laurensbyrd :) I'll definitely take that into consideration. How has the program been for you thus far? How do you like Utah?

@_nursebee The program has gone very well! I really feel like I'm learning how to be a great nurse and I have only had amazing feedback in clinical. Statistically, Roseman students do very well on the NCLEX and I believe that's because we are taught how to answer NCLEX-style questions from day 1.

Utah is very beautiful this time of year. I am originally from the southeast (South Carolina) so it has been an adjustment but I enjoy it here. After having visited Vegas a few weeks ago, I will say I much prefer Utah. Haha! As far as the campuses go, I know the South Jordan (Utah) campus is much smaller than the Henderson (Vegas) campus. There are obviously pros/cons to each.

I have only heard good things in clinical about how Roseman students are perceived and Roseman has a fantastic reputation in the valley surrounding SLC. I feel confident that I will be able to secure a great job following graduation/my passing the NCLEX.

@Laurensbyrd

Thanks for the input! I wasn't trying to knock the quality of the program, as I know Roseman has a great reputation even here in LV. How are you handling the 90% rate? It's pretty intimidating but do you feel you are being taught the knowledge to succeed with 90+% on each exam? Wishing you the best of luck.

Hi Lauren!

I've accepted my offer to the ABSN program in LV for feb 2018 and am very anxious!

Just wanted to ask what's your insight on the didactic portion of the program? Do you feel prepared for clinicals learning in this way?

Hi! Congrats :) to answer your question... yes! I am actually in block 10.1 right now (Adult Health II Clinical) and I have felt incredibly competent. The didactic portion is a lot and can be overwhelming but if you stay on top of it you will be successful.

Hey Im planning to apply for both ABSN at Roseman and also Chamberlain, just want to hear your experience and your opinion, how are you doing

Hello,

The program was great I finish at the end of May I'm so close. I never had an issue with the tests; I studied a lot and the group points helped! I'm super excited for my last set of clinicals I was placed in labor and delivery. I like roseman it was good just super expensive!

hello! I was wondering if anyone can detail a bit more about the online portion of the program? idk why, but it seems tough to "self-teach" nursing. Do the instructors provide guidelines or outlines for the courses so you know what your doing? THANK YOU!

I am currently a student in the ABSN program at Roseman. The online didactic program is very doable as long as you are disciplined and can keep to a schedule. I would recommend the program and actually love the class layout.

The instructors have recorded a lecture that goes along with power point slides for most of the classes thus far. The blocks that do not have recorded lectures have A LOT of reading assignments and webinar review sessions. Yes the work is done off campus and mostly "online" but the professors are VERY available for extra guidance.

Thank you,so its kind of like guided learning, so you're directed not just thrown to the wolves lol jk....what block are you in?

Yes it is guided learning. I had taken a few online classes before this program and it isn't much different from that. I'm in block 5 right now (Adult Health 1). To give you an idea on how this block is structured... there are 2 main parts to the class (lab and didactic). There are 13 modules (usually one a day, some are 2 day lessons), we have discussion questions and posts due for each module (some individual some group work), a midterm (assessment 1), reading assignments, quizzes over videos we watch, and our final assessment. The lab portion of the class includes 5 mandatory lab days where we learn how to insert IVs, NGs, and pass medication. We will be doing a simulation day with a lifelike maniquin. We tape ourselves doing each of these skills and the professors watch them and grade them the same day.

I hope that answers some of your questions. If you are on the fence about applying or just nervous about the program. I was in your same position just a few months ago. Choosing ABSN through Roseman was the best choice I could have made.

The assessment process is way different from most schools and took a bit to get use to. They really do want you to master the information instead of just cramming it into your brain for short term memory recall. You have to get a 90% on every exam to pass. This seems scary until you learn how they set you up for success. If you do not pass the first attempt on the assessment you have another chance to retake a similar exam after studying what you missed for a few days. Even if you don't pass the second exam (which doesn't happen often) there are other chances to get though the course. The extra chances are called Remediation days. Remediation is not looked at as a bad thing, but actually a good chance to show the professors how much you did learn and where you still need to grow as a future nurse.

We are also assigned mentors from a cohort a year ahead of us that help answer questions and guide you through all the material.
