I am in the Goodwin Nursing program. It is not a program I would recommend to anyone. I have great grades, but all I am is a glorified CNA. The school is so afraid of being turned away from hospitals, that they let the CNA's give feedback about the students. The CNA's are thrilled because they get a free ride while we are there. Forget about learning real nursing, if you are good student, you will pass the classes, and the NCLEX, but you will have no nursing skills. Over 40K to be a CNA. Now let me tell you about their fasle advertising, they say they are a nights and weekend school, but they can't really get instructors for Saturday clinicals, so once you are in the program, they tell you, we made no promises about Saturdays. If you can go elsewhere, I strongly suggest it ! Signed a Goodwin STudent who will be an RN soon, just wished I picked a better school. PS. some clinicals are at St. Francis. No problem getting a CNA job there. ha ha. Forget about a nursing job, Goodwin doesn't prepare you for nursing jobs.

My suggestion is take the NLN again. I scored in the 99% as did most of the students in my cohort. I have not heard of anyone getting in with under 19 points. Even 19 points is rare. Take the NLN again, and try and get the full 10 point credit for it. Also be sure to do the community service. I am in the program, and I would not recommend it to anyone. Good luck with whatever you decide.
