Resurrection University vs St. Xavier

[galenanurse]

Hey guys,

Seems like these are tough times for us trying to get our education in nursing.

I was wondering if anyone had any feed back regarding St Xavier and Resurrection. I am a LPN with most of my RN classes complete (could not complete due to move), but had no luck finishing at a community college, the BSN route is most practical for me at this point. I will be taking the few pre req's at my CC and tranferring them in.

I heard that Resurrections offers loan forgivness programs, and jobs to their grads, is this still the case?

I haven't heard much about St. Xavier.

Does anyone have any info good and bad about either school?

Much appriciated.

I have heard that St. Xavier will not accept any repeated classes. For Example: If you received a D in math and then took the class over and got and A. It still doesn't matter.
