Roseman University 18-month Program?

LeoDUBs · Mar 7, 2016

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!!

although they are accredited, I am just wandering if the fact that roseman don't give letter grades is not going to be a problem if you want to attend another school in the future.

Congratulation on your future graduation by the way!!

No I am in touch with people who have graduated from Roseman in the past (2011 cohort and 2014 cohort) who have already been accepted and finished some Doctorate programs. My transcript will have a 4.0 GPA as well as As posted on them.

thank you for reassuring me. i was really worriedabout that.

how would you describe your Roseman experience so far? is the faculty that helpful? i know nursing school is really hard but i am still wandering how hard it can be? any advice?

Henderson BSN C/O 2016 just graduated yesterday (yay!). I would describe my Roseman experience as very difficult, but doable. These past 18 months were definitely the hardest but most rewarding experience I've ever had to go through. Nothing can really fully describe the amount of studying, worrying, and stressing out you experience in the program until you're in it.

That being said, like everyone in here has said, it's doable. The 90% passing standard is scary at first but if you put effort into studying you can do it. The vast majority of the faculty at Henderson, and South Jordan as well from Heather's posts, are VERY helpful and really try their absolute hardest to help you meet that standard. A lot of them really became family to us, and you could see that in the recognition they got at our pinning ceremony.

The only advice I can really give you is buckle down and focus on nursing school. It should really be your first priority, especially when you need to achieve 90%. It's definitely possible to work and be in this program - there are many people in my class who have done just that - and I also never felt that nursing school wasn't so bad that I was a social recluse. Granted there were a few times where my parents visited me for the weekend, and I spent the day in their hotel room (or hotel pool) studying for an upcoming assessment, but I felt that I was able to go out with my boyfriend and friends when I wanted to. Not all the time, and not every weekend, but enough to not destroy my social life

Also I am going to say that my advice and info really only applies to the 18-month BSN program. The online ABSN program is an entirely different beast that, based on the posts on allnurses, doesn't seem that great.

The ABSN program is different. Personally, I'd rather go to school online and be in the comfort of my own home doing it at my own pace, which is what I do. The material is the same and we all take the same NCLEX.

Just so yall know, Roseman's nursing program no longer issues "4.0" GPAs. Everyone gets straight Ps on their transcript. They ended they As right when my cohort started...horray timing! If you wish to apply to graduate school following Roseman, there's no guarntee that your desired program will accept this grading style. However, Roseman does issue a letter attached to your transcript stating how the P=A.

We're all unsure of how this is going to play out for our future as students and nurses. A lot of my students are discouraged at the fact that they changed it back. Oh well. I contacted UNLV out of curiousity and asked their nursing grad program if they would accept the "P" system. They said they would with the letter. Roseman is still fully accredited so I'm hoping for the best. Just thought yall might want to know that.

I had my interview in February and have recently been accepted. I did horrible in my interview! I got asked a question and my brain went blank and I went silent for like 2 minutes. And I said some other stupid things too. So if I got accepted, it's absolutely going to be fine for you too.

Before we went in to interview, current students came up and talked to us about how proud they were to go to Roseman and how they felt very prepared. It was very cool.

One thing I was kind of surprised about though. I was admitted to the August 2016 BSN cohort on February 29th. Then a few days later when they emailed me an admissions packet, I saw that I have to send my $250 seating deposit by March 18th to secure my spot. I didn't expect to have to finalize my decision so quickly. I was wanting to interview at one other school too, but I don't really want to risk waiting another whole year to have to go through the application process again with schools.

I am in the same situation like you and i submitted my deposit already so i won't risk waiting another whole year to apply to nursing school. Most people say that roseman is a good school even though i have to admit that the 90% passing threshold is freaking me out but i am seriously considering attending. if the other school is your priority, you'll just have to put in your mind that you wasted $250 because you never know. I hope you do good on the other interview you have coming but secure your seat at Roseman as a back up.

Yes I was impressed by their program and will most likely attend Roseman. The only other reason I was hoping to get an interview at the other school is because it's quite a bit cheaper. But there standards are more competitive to get in (certainly higher than a minimum 2.75 GPA) and I probably don't think I'll get an interview there.

As for the 90%, I guess really it could go either way. One thing I found on their website though that made me feel more confident about the 90% is the way they test it: "This is usually a fairly traditional, paper-and-pencil "exam", using multiple-choice, true-false, or matching items." T/F and matching items sounds pretty straightforward/not too hard. I mean it's nursing so of course there's going to be a ton of studying, but I think we can do this.

I'm kind of curious about the group exams and how that'll go.

Anyways you and anyone else from the August course are welcome to PM me.

Well okay I guess I did not understand how PM worked on this website (I only signed up today). I apparently can't use PM yet, so sorry to whoever messaged me. Here is my email: [email protected]

You definitely can do this! As a heads up, every assessment question is multiple choice, with a certain amount being select all that apply questions, to help prepare you for the NCLEX. I don't remember ever having true/false or matching questions. Also as of the class of 2017 (Aug '15 start) the tests are computerized. There are also blocks that don't have final assessments, instead there is a final group project or paper or something like that which you still have to get 90% on but that's pretty easy.

I hope you all have great groups! I was very lucky in that my group got along amazingly and group exams were really not stressful for us. We all had similar thought processes for the most part and when we did disagree on something, it wasn't a screaming match, which is nice.
