ROSEMAN UNIVERSITY ABSN FALL 2019

Published

Application period has just opened for the October cohort so I figured I should start a thread to see how many people are interested right now!

All questions, comments, and concerns about the program and interview process are welcome to be put down below in this thread.

Actually most Roseman ABSN students are interested in furthering their education (FNP or CRNA). We are an accredited institution for ABSN requirements. Most California residents do have interest returning to CA and are able to do so ?

@ssosa16 Thanks for your response! I already have a bachelors in public health from a california university. So with the absn program at Roseman you receive a bachelors of science in nursing and take the NCLEX correct? I am also wondering if students live near Roseman full time during the hybrid program or if it is possible to commute in just for clinical rotations?

Great question! That is correct, after successful completion of the program you do receive a BSN and are eligible to take the NCLEX. A majority of the students (from my specific cohort) do live in the Henderson, LV, Summerlin area. I have heard of a couple people commuting in from CA during the program. I do not know if those CA commuters completed the program while living in CA the entire time. Clinical rotations are not the only time you need to be in the area, there is in person mandatory lab/ group projects, etc. (obviously these assignments depend on the block, but they still exist). You can email me if you have more/specific questions, if you wish ? [email protected]

I’m not saying you can’t further your education. But I was looking at most FNP programs in Cali and they need a GPA with actual letter grades. Which Roseman does not provide. Everybody graduates with a 4.0. I know students have found programs that accept Roseman graduates BUT they are much more difficult to find because they do not give letter grades

I’m just saying I highly recommend CSUSM ABSN program over Rosemans simply for the fact they have WASC accreditation so I personally wouldn’t have to worry about transferring, and there would be no question about my “grades”.

California schools would definitely be a priority. Roseman is usually no one's first choice. No one wants to leave their friends or family. Roseman is mainly students from California because it's almost impossible to get into California nursing schools. I had a great GPA (3.75), great HESI/TEAS (low 90%), and I was working as a medical assistant. I applied for 3 years all over California with no success. Public, private, and community. Also, Roseman is opening an FNP program this January just fyi. The dean of Roseman actually offered to speak directly to any FNP or CRNA school if any Roseman alumni have issues with the Roseman grading system while applying to grad schools in California or any state.

Thanks for your response @Arpan101! So you are from California and participated in the Roseman absn? I have also had acceptance difficulties in the state with similar stats. Do you work in California post graduation?

Trust me, moving out of California was my last resort. But I felt stagnant having graduated with my first bachelors in 2017. I'm in the South Jordan ABSN program currently. But I am going straight back to California the day after graduation lol. I also know a couple girls who did the program and currently work in California.

Is anyone that has or is participating in the ABSN hybrid program at Roseman commuting? How often do you need to be on campus every week?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

No one is commuting from California. That's just too unrealistic for either the Vegas or SLC campus. Especially since you have lab blocks where you have to come to class in person for 4 weeks in a row. I think there's 3 or 4 lab blocks. You also have group projects. The furthest people live from campus is 45 minutes.

Thanks for your feedback @Arpan101! How many days a week are you on campus during the lab blocks?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

5 days a week. And you don't pass the block if you aren't there every day. Unless you're hospitalized or there's a death in your immediate family which you would have to provide proof of. It makes sense, it's a very short program to get a whole bachelor's degree so every day counts. They have to keep their accreditation up lol
