Can anyone tell me about the program when it comes to quality of the teaching and the clinicals? The costs obviously are great but how is the actual program? I can't seem to find any discussion on it.

Hey Jonisol! I graduated from the nursing program from SSU in May 2019. Just like every school, there are bad professors and there are good professors. If you have any question in general about what person to take in regards to a class you can PM me! In regards to clinical, I NEVER had a bad experience for clinical. All of my clinical instructors were great and I learned a lot from them. However, not every clinical instructor was great like the ones I chose. For example, during the last semester of nursing school there was a group of students who had a clinical instructor that was horrible. It was our last clinical of nursing school and usually they will let you buddy up with a nurse or have your "own" patients etc.. The group that had the horrible clinical instructor got stuck doing ONLY CNA work. They did not get to do med passes, they did not get to shadow a nurse etc.. I felt bad for them because this was their last clinical and unfortunately they had a horrible experience. For MY last clinical I was able to buddy up with a nurse and follow that nurse throughout her day/work with her and her patients. I was also lucky enough to be able to go to different specialties. For example, I was able to go to the ER, ICU, Cath lab, follow an IV nurse around etc... It was a great experience for my last clinical. I also had great experiences for my fundamentals, medsurg, pedi rotation ETC... If you have any questions at all about who to choose for a clinical instructor or have any questions about the program you can PM me or just reply here ? ! Best of luck!

Can anyone who's been accepted tell me a little bit about your background (GPA/experience/etc)? Looking to apply for the May 2020 program & trying to gauge my chances of getting in! Thank you!!

Hi, I ended up going to UNE's ASBN program. With scholarships, it's still at least double the price. But I had gotten in and by the time they accepted me at Salem, I was already basically through with my first semester. But I do hear Salem State is very good. And affordable.

Salem State seems like a strong program but I know I didn't get final word about acceptance until March of last year, when the program would be starting in May. I was on the wait list and then got in, but I was already in UNE's ASBN program.

Accepted last year but couldn't finish Chemistry in time, so I reapplied this year! Hoping to hear very soon because I'm enrolled in another program that I just started a few weeks ago, but I'd rather attend Salem for timing reasons ?

I heard I think Feb 16 last year, so here's hoping ....

Hi, I know this is an old forum.  Hope you were accepted and completed the program.   When you mentioned that you didn't complete Chemistry in time, did you take the Chemistry in Spring?  I'm asking because I'm currently taking A&PII and Chemistry to be completed on May 15, and the program starts in May, just wondering if I'd be able to meet up with the program.
