Samuel Merritt University Nursing ABSN questions- Summer 2025

[David Nutt]

Hello! I'm curious if there are any current Samuel Merritt students who might be willing to chat sometime. I applied for Summer of 2025, and though I haven't received an acceptance yet I'm already finding myself pretty spooked by how bad the school is at all things administrative, especially given the cost. I'd love to check in with someone who is currently a student or who was recently a student to learn more about your experience. Let me know if you fit this description and are willing to chat.

Thank you for your reply @Oakrad510do you feel like SMU is preparing you well enough to become a nurse?  

 

 

That's a tough one because I feel like other schools do a better job at that. I know individuals in other private and community college programs that are getting much more exposure than we are. Also, many new grad programs are specifically requesting letters of recommendation from preceptors and we're all struggling with where to get that since we won't have a preceptorship. As of right now, they're telling us that our clinical instructor can sign off but that also doesn't feel right since they aren't our preceptor.
