Resurrection University Summer 2015 Applicants

Published

Hello everyone,

My name is Bryan and I thought it would be helpful to start a new thread in order to connect with others who have either applied/or are already accepted into the Resurrection University Summer 2015 program. Please feel free to comment and ask any questions. I am looking forward to hearing from all of you soon!

Hey you guys! I just got accepted into the summer program, but I was also waiting to hear back from Lewis University. I was just wondering if you knew about which program was better/ which you would prefer? Im having a hard time deciding if I should just start summer with resU or wait to see if I get into Lewis, as it is cheaper. Thanks guys!

Hi, I believe Lewis University is also a BSN program like Resurrection so they are both equal in that regard. The evening/weekend program here at Resurrection is approximately 5 semesters and the morning program can be completed in as little as 4 semesters. I am unsure about the program length for Lewis University. Resurrection is expensive but they do offer tuition reimbursement if you work at any of their hospitals after you graduate. I would also look into scholarships, grants, etc if money is an issue. Write down a list of pros and cons for each school to narrow it down. Good luck with your choice!

Is anyone in the Naperville area or close by? I am just trying to think on how much time I should give myself to get out there. I was thinking of changing my work hours so that I get out at 3:30 and to school by 5. Any thoughts?

Don, I live in Brookfield and work at St. Mary's Hospital which is literally a few blocks away from Resurrection University. It usually takes me 30 minutes on a good day. Naperville is about 30 minutes away from Brookfield as well. You should be fine with your commute barring any accidents, traffic, construction, etc. The commute might take a little longer in the winter though.

No problem. Yes. I just clicked through everything and did the exams at the end. Haha.

Did anyone get the nursing kit? If so what's in it?

It has IV tubing, fluids, bp cuff, foley cath kit, dressing tray (forceps, etc), some fake training meds, another bag with a bunch of things (gauze, scissors, maybe surgical gloves), and it comes in a red tote bag. Haven't opened the different little bags with all the different things in them.

Has anyone heard anything about when our financial aid packages will be ready? I mean it's getting pretty close to when we start.
