Saint Anselm- Good School for Nursing??

Published

Specializes in future speciality interest: Nurse Midwif.

Hi everyone

I was wondering if anyone has attended, is attending, will be attending, or have heard anything about the nursing program at Saint Anselm College.

From what I was reading on their website, they incorporate theology and philosophy (sorry if spelling is wrong) as part of the nursing curriculm.

I don't mind having to take those classes, but does anyone have any information that I can use on helping me make my decison on applying.

Also, is chemistry a pre-req. either High school or college level chem.

I did not notice any chemistry courses in the curriculm, and that would be a plus for me.

I'm done with all my pre-req's and co-req's that are required for a BSN degree so all I need is to get into the clinical portion.

any info. good or bad would help.~~thanks

Hi Winter,

St. A's has an EXCELLENT nursing program, as a matter of fact it is probably one of the best in state and has the highest NCLEX pass rate when compared to other universities.

I did not attend that school becuase it is VERY expensive, but went to a community college instead. So I am just going by what I have heard from multiple people!

Good Luck, especiallly paying the bill. :lol2:

Specializes in Maternity, quality.

Yes, since St. A's is a Catholic college there is a theology component.

I have heard nothing but good things about the program and, in fact, my clinical instructor for my med-surg clinical this summer is a St. A's faculty member and she is excellent. It is expensive, being a private school, but I have no doubt that you would receive an excellent education there.

Awesome school!!!!!!

I did not attend as I think they did not want to take most transfer credits and the cost was too prohibitive to me being a single mom with twins in college. I live on mac and cheese as it is just going to community college!
