Can anyone let me know what they think of Roseman University's 18 month BSN program? I am thinking of applying there next year but would like to know how it is/what to expect? I'm a CNA now, working in a hospital, will that help me at all or is it basically starting from scratch? I've tried reaching out to others on old posts but haven't gotten any responses back, so that's why I started this one, in hopes that someone would be able to answer my questions. I'm not picky as to either the Henderson or South Jordan campus as I will be applying to both. GPA is not extremely high but not under a 2.0 either. Do i have a decent chance of getting into either campus or should I resign myself to trying to find a CC?
Thanks in advance!

Hi! I graduated from the Henderson campus.
Your CNA experience will probably be a major benefit during fundamentals clinicals (essentially where we learned CNA skills), but after that it will probably level out with the non-experienced students during school. IMO, CNA experience is really beneficial once you start working.
I want to say my prerequisite GPA was a 3.2 or 3.3. I think the best way to raise your chances of admission are to apply early since Roseman conducts rolling acceptances and multiple interviews. They usually email acceptances after each interview date.
Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions, or I will check back here if you can't send PMs.
Hi,
Thank you so much! I have loads of questions. Do they require you to purchase the computer from Roseman or can you purchase it cheaper via Dell or Amazon and just buy the software? How were the labs and clinicals? Do you feel that they prepared you for being an actual RN? How attainable is that 90% that they want you to achieve? How do remediation and super remediation work? Did you find that lots of people in your cohort needed remediation or super remediation? Did anyone not make it? How does that process work if you don't pass the super remediation? How are the instructors? Are they accessible for questions and to help with any concerns? Do they give you the tools needed to succeed? i'm not talking about the answers, but are they helpful in getting us to understand the material thoroughly since lives are at stake? If i do go to Roseman, I would have to relocate and take out a pretty sizable loan and do nothing but be a student. How close to graduation was the NCLEX scheduled or was it up to students to schedule it themselves? I'm not sure whether you would have any idea of this or not, but is it better to sit the NCLEX in another state or to take it in Nevada and request reciprocity? Are there some good jobs out there for Roseman grads? I read on the Roseman blog that they're pretty highly respected in NV, but from a graduates perspective (and not just a marketing angle) are they? Are they really hiring Roseman grads at fair salaries?
Are you also able to send me a list of the required books so that i can start to purchase them if I do intend on going?
I know, I'm full of questions. Thanks so much for helping me out! If this is too much, you can always email me @ [email protected]
I sent you an email :)
