Hello everyone, I considered applying to Roseman 6 months ago, but got turned off by the pressure I felt when I was being contacted by my advisor. I wondered if I'd get as much support once I get in? I'm worried I won't get enough teacher support too. I wonder if there's incentive for advisors to just get applicants in. It's frightening to think about having to invest in a program that isn't necessarily structured for student success. I would be moving from CA and I believe my Federal loans only cover half the tuition. I'm just sharing a bit of my process. I wish there were more past/current students posting! This is such a difficult decision! Thanks for reading and sharing, Thu

Thanks, marmar! I appreciate your response. Are you still at the beginning of the program? How many students are in your cohort? Is your group diverse? I am so scared of investing so much in a program that loses almost half the students (based on what I have read). I believe in myself, but I couldn't say I believe in their system. It sounds like a great program, especially for the Bachelor's degree. There is a program closer to me, but doesn't sound as promising and costs the same only for an Associate's degree. If I have the goal and vision in mind, I believe anything can be made possible. I would love more reassurance that success is possible and NOT based on luck! I'll be moving there and would hate to get in and get kicked out easily.

I am a new applicant just starting to get through the whole process. The advisor is really on top of things, stays very in touch, and has provided me with all the information/resources I need in terms of financial aid advising, TEAS, and prereqs. I have to retake a science class to boost my GPA, but I'm not sure if I'll even be competitive. (or will I...?) I've read this entire thread and am a little tired of the repeat questions. I understand that this is basically medical school for Nurses, it's expensive, and I could potentially be stuck in Nevada with loans and a lease up my butt forever. It sounds like for ABSN, I really should not work even part time. But, testing is based on LUCK?! Really, though? Has the program not improved since 2012? Have students not complained openly to the Dean? I really would love to hear about CURRENT students and any changes that have occurred since 2 or 3 years ago. I just can't believe that this program is still impossible and unaccommodating and disorganized. I also realize that current students are probably too busy to be on this thread in the first place. Anyone know anyone who has current advice/experiences?
