Enrolling was a nightmare. I ended up needing to re-enroll three different times due to errors made by the student advisor. I was then somehow enrolled in some traditional courses and some excel courses. I also ended up receiving student aid even though I was a GI bill student, so now I have even more student debt. Obviously I’ve set the money aside to repay the loan, but the hassle is still a huge inconvenience. Turns out my student advisor was not great and once I switched to a different advisor... Read More things went smoothly. Instructors and class content were great and I feel it was a valuable learning experience.

Earned my RN to BSN in 4 months, including 80 clinical hours. I did have to find my own clinical site and preceptor, but that wasn't hard for me. I started looking as soon as I found out the requirements. I felt the class material and requirements were easy to follow. The rubrics were detailed so I always knew what they expected to pass. If you are self motivated and goal oriented this will work for you. If you're lazy, have a hard time focusing, or just aren't good at school then this might not... Read More work for you.

I'm currently enrolled at Chamberlain to get my BSN. I've taken 5 classes with them so far, and I am highly satisfied with the support of not only my teachers but my advisor! I started this journey back in 2019 and had to drop out shortly after due to COVID. Their team was nothing short of support and patiently worked with me when I came back earlier this year in 2022. Their program offers so much flexibility when working full time as a nurse and offers solid financial plans. 10/10 would recommend!... Read More

The practicum is the worst part of the entire program, it's 2 courses and they'll be towards the end of the program. There's a facebook group for the people enrolled in the Tempo RN-BSN program, I highly suggest you look into this practicum before enrolling into the school. Even with COVID they do not allow you to meet with your practicum mentor online (through ZOOM or TEAMS), which is difficult when you're a travel nurse. It's also very confusing because you don't actually go to the field to do... Read More the research, it takes at least 6 weeks to get your practicum application approved or denied. They offer no help in find a mentor for the practicum, this experience has stressed me out so much. I really wish I would have gotten my BSN elsewhere. I've copied and pasted the information my program advisor sent me: Thank you again. Regarding your future BSN Tempo Practicum Courses: 4210/4211 and 4220/4221. As we discussed, for NURS 4210/4211 and NURS 4220/4221, you will need to choose a mentor for your practicum project. Again, to clarify, these practicum courses do not involve direct patient care, but rather, are focused on 1) a population health project, and 2) a quality improvement project. Please review the information below, as well as the attachments above. Your mentor must meet the following criteria: Prior to approval, the mentor’s license and certification (if applicable) is verified and the Mentor Commitment Form is evaluated by the Office of Field Experience. Walden’s approval of the mentor candidate is based on several criteria. • The mentor must hold a bachelor’s degree or higher in a field related to the role. • Specific mentor requirements by course are as follows: o NURS 4210/4211: It is preferred that the mentor be a nurse. If a nurse is not available, other qualified interdisciplinary professionals with a role in population health or public health would qualify. Examples of mentors could include public health nurses, infectious disease nurses/physicians, public safety personnel, public health staff, school nurses, nutritionists, health educators, or diabetes educators. o NURS 4220/4221: The mentor must be a nurse. Examples of mentors include chief nursing officer, directors, nurse managers, quality improvement nurses, Undergraduate Nursing Practicum Manual (June 2019) Page 13 nurse managers of a patient care unit, manager of quality improvement, nursing educators, infection control practitioners, or other qualified nursing leaders. • If the mentor is an RN, the mentor must be currently licensed with an unencumbered license to practice professional nursing in the state where the practice experience will occur. • The mentor must have a minimum of 1 year of experience and a current job role relevant to the project. Mentors in the state of Washington must have a minimum of 2 years of experience due to state board of nursing requirements. • The mentor must be able and willing to commit to the mentor role for the practice experience. • The mentor must be employed at the field site where the practice experience takes place. • The mentor must not be a student’s relative, any type of family member, personal friend, or significant other. • The mentor may be the student’s direct or immediate supervisor. For additional information, please see the Undergraduate Nursing Practicum Manual: https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/ld.php?content_id=45642029 ***As we discussed, you will need to complete an application approximately 6 weeks prior to each of these practicum courses which must be approved before you can proceed with 4210 and 4220. I have also attached the overview of the practicum courses and the competencies within these courses for your knowledge. I hope this information is helpful and I look forward to assisting you with this process.

I am completely disgusted and devastated. I enrolled into this Grand Canyon University as an ADN, and was offered the RN to MSN program. After learning more about the program I decided to enroll. Here I am about to complete the program that I was told I was enrolled in, only to find that I will only be graduating with my BSN and not my MSN. When I asked why I did not receive my BSN diploma after completing my capstone course 6 months ago I was told that I would receive it with the MSN diploma at... Read More the end of the program. I am not entirely sure where the communication was lost in translation, so I am going to say that I think I was sold into this program under false pretenses, and am considering legal action. I am quite distraught to find this out 1 month before graduation.

I have read the published reviews, some I agree with and some I don't. I started my Advanced Master's Degree in Nursing in January of 2016. Because I was lacking some upper division math and English classes, I was required to take Statistics and one other upper division Math class. Also, a second year English Comp class which included an English research project, or capstone. I graduated on May 13 2018 with a 3.8 GPA, graduated Magna Cum Laude. I can see with other reviews that poor grades led to... Read More "sour grapes" with reviews. I feel that my two years was well rounded in the current nursing trends as well as required BSN and MSN courses to provide proficiency with the curriculum. I was a proud graduate and I know that I learned many new nursing concepts from theoretical to practical applications, and current trends. I thought that my professors were well qualified and very knowledgeable in the areas they taught. Again, I was very satisfied with my education gained through SNHU.

I first attended Purdue in 2016 to acquire my RN-BSN degree, that was a fail due to the program lack of assistance and grading system. I transferred to Olivet and graduated in 2018. The program was easy to me, I was irritated with the lack of consistency with APA grading. I graduated with a 3.3 GPA, and that was with doing the minimum or you can say a lack of really trying. I wish schools offered the opportunity to take more than one class at a time, to accelerate the program. Yes, I do work full-time... Read More and have children as well. I am currently thinking about Olivet in pursuing my FNP; since I'm already established there with paperwork.
