Hi everyone!
I saw a couple of thread regarding Roseman's nursing program but most of them are dated from 2012 or so. Anyways, I was curious if there is anyone currently in the 18 month program and how do they like it so far. I'm going to be starting there this August and just wanted to hear from current students.
Roseman University is a very good program, intense and if you're lucky enough to be in a cohort of friendly and supportive people, you'll succeed. I have my own reservations about the school, but overall it's great quality. I recommend though, looking at other options only as the cost of attending this private school is ridiculously high (but California is worse). I recommend that if you do decide to go, that you are required to maintain a 90% or higher all the time to stay in the program (both ABSN and Regular). There are plenty of mental breakdowns over maintaining this grade and in the end no one hires you over another registered nurse because you have straight A's.
Always ask yourself this: "Is what I'm going to make on average worth the cost of doing the job?"
To be a doctor costs anywhere from $100,000-$600,000 (I know a top 10 school in Texas that costs $150,000. Totally worth it.) A doctor makes about that per year, but with student loans and private loans, they can make it out barely with the shirt on their back. Same with nursing, if a school costs more than what you will make per year, I certainly believe that the cost outweighs the benefit of having that education. Roseman is certainly tittering on the edge of that fine line. I digress, money is not the topic here. The program is good. Have the mental stability and a good support family (and financially) because it is difficult to maintain the 90%.
I'm going to apply to Rosemans August nursing class, does anyone have information about how good the school is, is it better than NSC or UNLV? How are/were your experiences in this school? are the teachers good? How do people at clinicals react to roseman nursing students, do they respect them? thanks in advance.
@Lola28do you know if it is easy to transfer to other universities coming from roseman? just in case someone wants to pursue a master degree later on.
how many people started in your cohort group and how many graduated with you?
I plan on getting my Doctorate as do many of my classmates, it's an accredited school and I will graduate with a 4.0 in June!!

Hi,
Ohh my gosh! I was actually thinking of ABSN, and will originally plan to attend the University by Oct 2016. I am still doing my pre nursing ( Prereqs) done. I did all my Science class by nxt year. One of the lady for the ABSN right now is working with me and I'm trying to enroll by income tax for those science class ( money wises, thats why after income tax). I am not as fortunate un like other students, so getting this degree for me will take awhile, and thats why I am only able to get 2 classes or at a time depends on my financial situation. I a saving most of my loans for the actual program.
So in short, I cannot answer about the science class. Although I never had a problem with it from before, I would say I more scared of Math than the actual science. I am just being honest, I can fight hard for science but when it comes to MATH, i am not good with all those Algebra and stuff, which I am doing right now.
I would love to hear from you more, if you dont mind me asking for your email and stuff. I wanted to do the ABSN, I also heard from your cohort as well, the lady said that so far in your group no one has BEEN DROPPED OUT YET, I am worrying about how most of the program the "lecture" will be over a computer, and then labs, clinical will be at school. I just dont know how that works? I am an online student, but the thing with me is this is NURSING, and I am thinking that shouldnt be better when everything is taught face to face?..
** How was lecturing, then going to school for the assessment which would be recorded workout for you?
** How Could u pleases explain how does the ABSN program works? like, Basically it will start with the theory lectures, then they will ask you to go to school and do labs based on what you have learned on those lectures through the computer? (Do instructors have a little lecture at school before labs starts?)
** You mentioned that, I dont have to worry about the 90% on the exams, basically how many items are in an exam, and just to give an estimate, in your exam, what would be the safest scores that you have to get? I dont know if I am able to express my question right.. ( like if there are 50 items on the test, are u still safe getting 5 wrong answer?)
** and the 90%, is that refers to the exam only? or you have to get 90% and above on everything? In short, what does the 90% refers? like is that the total grade for each block?
Like for block 1, of course you have to get 90% total after all the exams, labs etc, are all calculated or, that 90% is what the whole thing should be after everything has been added to it?
Hopefully I can talk to u more BOUT The ABSN program, do u mind giving me ur email?
Thanks
