Roseman University ABSN February 2021

LVRN2B · Oct 31, 2020

Hello! I am currently enrolled at Roseman in the October 2020 cohort. I'll try to answer some of your questions. Textbooks are purchased/issued for set of blocks. So the 1st set of textbooks you will need to purchase will be for blocks 1-5. You have the option of purchasing e-book, hardcopy or both. I'm not sure how much the ebooks are, I purchased the hardcopy only and it was around $340 (again, that will take you through Blocks 1-5). I think the ebook/hardcopy bundle was around $540( don't quote me). Something to keep in mind: you will want a hard copy book. Reason being there is a portion of the exam where you can use your book, you cannot use online formats. Some students have said they use the libraries books BUT the library only has a few copies. Some students have purchased the previous edition from previous cohorts and there is a difference in information (we just took our 1st exam and some students missed questions b/c the info had changed).

Uniforms: You are required to purchase a Roseman uniform for in hospital clinicals ($160 for 2 sets - you can buy as many or as few as you want), lab uniforms ( must be grey or burgundy - can be purchased anywhere and they are not picky about the shade of grey), a polo for community works ( purchased through the roseman store, I want to say they were $35 but don't quote me) and khakis ( you can buy these anywhere). They will send a link for ordering books, order them as soon as you get the link. They take a while to come and you can start your reading and familiarize yourself with the book.

Student Loans: start doing your research. They will send info regarding all of your questions about 30 days out. It was plenty if time to get everything done.

Topics to study: history of nursing, nursing organizations and laws and nursing assessment. That will give you a great headstart.

A helpful tip: I purchased picmonics. It has been amazing with helping me so far. Topics coincide with the actual books we are and will be using. We are assigned teams and our whole team has purchased it and everyone finds it useful. Check it out: https://www.picmonic.com/insiderhookup/MNHMK1COBRXGLJ420

If you have any other questions let me know!

I am really wondering about how much I should be prepared to pay for textbooks and uniforms? What textbooks did previous cohorts use? Best place to get a private student loan? Best student planner? What topics should I study in the months leading up to starting to get ahead a bit?

Hey! I am a student in the ABSN July 2020 cohort and just finished with block 5. If you or anyone is interested in textbooks for blocks 1-5 (1st bundle of books), I currently am interested in selling my current books which features the latest switch to the newer editions. Only selling paperback and will give a great deal, lower than getting brand new ones. I have never written or highlighted in any of the books and all are in very good/almost new condition.

Email me at [email protected] if interested. Thank you!!

Hello! I have a quick question, what shoes would you recommend for clinical? I've heard that you had to wear all white but there are so many to choose from!
