Already sounds better to me.

The whole gpa thing is just so odd to me and it is just one of the many reasons why I chose not to go with Roseman. I'm sure you were told not so long ago as I was that they didn't have gpa's and then literally just a few weeks go by and boom they decided to change that. I was never once told they were even planning on implementing goa's. It just didn't feel good to me and I wasn't 100% sold with the program; I didn't want to take out a big loan just to maybe be disappointed later like some previous students were. I have not heard of Marian but just hearing that they even offer graduate programs Would be a huge relief to me; sounds more accomplished and up to par with state schools.

I'm glad to hear current students are speaking great things of the program. I talked to previous Roseman students who were very unhappy with it, but to be fair they were from the cohort years of 2013 and 2015. Which are also the years in which Roseman had low, non competitive program completion rates. You can find these statistics on their very own website. Most schools that I've researched had high completrtion rates, usually in the high 90's, which is telling. If you ask anyone today at Roseman the reason for these low completion rates there is a good chance they will say they are unsure because either they don't want to say or because they are new as I hear from these previous students that there were big changes being made during their time there in terms of faculty. More specifically during the 2015 year. Also, I wonder why they now decided it was a good time to include gpa's to their transcripts and why they didn't do that sooner, makes one wonder. The alumni I spoke to who attended Roseman in 2015 did mention she felt as if they were guinea pigs and how many struggled throughout the program, which I believe. Just with a quick search online one can find the bad reviews, especially from those years. In your case I think it's great news to hear that these current students say many are getting into graduate programs as that is your ultimate plan. I wasn't sure if you'd find any of that information regarding alumni getting into graduate programs given that I was under the impression that it isn't a relatively old program and those entering graduate programs usually do so after having worked and gained experience. Nevertheless it is very good to hear students are happy with it. Do you happen to know how long their currrent ABSN faculty has been around? I think it will be more telling to see if they are constantly having new people come in.

If they give every graduate a 4.0 that's pretty nice and smart of them; I don't know of any other school that has all of its graduates graduate with 4.0 and therefore honors. From personal experience and from discussing the school with previous Roseman students I would make sure my important questions like maybe those regarding transcripts were asked through email to have as proof :) I'm sure you've notice their recruiter is a big fan of over the phone conversations. Things may be promised but not executed is what im saying. It sounds like you've made up your mind best of luck! :)

Hell there, If your ultimate plan is to become a psych NP look elsewhere. When you graduate from Roseman you are not given a gpa like regular schools so when you start looking into NP schools or programs some years down the line they will be obviously asking for all your previous transcripts and school information. But when they get to your Roseman transcript all they will see is that you passed. As you have probably realized by now programs usually utilize a point system to see if you qualify, but how will they calculate your overall gpa's for example with just a "pass" transcript such as Roseman. Again I'm sure you've heard that if necessary Roseman can write you a letter explaining that each course has been passed with a minimum 90% and that you can't finish their program without this minimum. But doesn't that sound a little strange? Medical programs in general are already so competitive imagine how they will be years down the line when you start looking into NP programs. It is my opinion that NP programs will much prefer another candidate without a um how do I say this...well prefer a candidate with a transcript that is just like allll the other transcripts and not suspicious. Another thing that is concerning to me is that their ABSN program has online components. How is a nurse that is suppose to provide hands on care to their patients suppose to just learn from a computer, yes I understand that their clinical and labs and tests are in person but why can't they have an actual person teaching these future nurses? Will future employers find this odd? Will a Roseman student be compatible with say a student who graduated from a state university. Also have you looked at their statistics from previous years as far how many graduates they had and how many passed the NCLEX? It is from my understanding and research that they had a year or two with suspiciously low statistics. Why is that? I just suggest to you to do your own research. Maybe start oooking into what NP programs look at as far as transcripts. Good luck! Don't look at the information that is out there for the public with foggy glasses...be vigilant... do your research...ask questions....

Hi there! Please don't be discouraged! if i was in your shoes i would take them up on the offer. Every year nursing programs across the nation accept individuals who are older than you so don't let age be a factor in your dreams. If you decline their offer i feel as if your chances to ever being admitted to a program will be very slim given that each round of applications an individuals chances of getting accepted keeps getting smaller because of all the competitiveness and increased number in applicants. Stay positive and remember there is always someone in an even more difficult position. Best wishes to you!!

Hello thanks for posting and offering answers. Now that its 2018 I was wondering if you could share your thoughts about the ABSN program. Do you mind sharing your stats with which you were admitted with were? Also how was the program itself? Did a lot of people have to drop out of the program? Was it hard getting a job afterwards? I will have to take out loans to even be able to attend so I'm just wondering if its worth the time, money, and energy.

Hello there a few years have passed now and i was wondering if you could give us an update with your experience within the program. Were you able easily find work afterwards? This is all very expensive and I would hate to get myself into debt for nothing.

I also have some concerns regarding Roseman's reputation. Does anyone know if grads from their programs have trouble finding work after graduation? I would hate to get myself in debt and not be able to find work afterwards.

Hello all! For those who got accepted to the ABSN program what were your scores if you don't mind me asking. Just trying to see if I'll be competitive enough to be admitted...all these costs for submitting applications are adding up

Hello! To those who applied to the ABSN program can y'all please share your stats and whether or not you got accepted? Applications are getting expensive and I just want to get an idea of whether or not I'd even get accepted. Thank you all!

Does anyone have any knowledge as to what the lowest points accepted were?

Does anyone mind sharing their accumulative gpa that they applied with to the program? I know this thread is old but I am looking to apply soon and wanted to get an idea of what the Program's admission statistics looks like.

Hi there! Have you received your evaluation sheet as of yet?

Does anyone know or have an idea of what the lowest possible points to be admitted to Spring 2019 could be? The average score last cohort was around 30points.
