Salve Regina University

This school is absolutely terrible, and I wish I saw a review that said this before I wasted my money here. I wanted to go to Salve Regina for my undergraduate career, but chose a more affordable option. When I decided to go for my Master's in Nursing I chose this school and I really wish I didn't. Don't choose this school unless you like wasting your money and getting absolutely nothing for it. The professors do nothing other than grade your assignments, so don't expect anything more. You will have... Read More online modules to look at, textbooks to read, quizzes to pass. The discussion boards are among yourself and students in your course who may or may not actually know what they're talking about so you really wont learn anything. Online school might be nice if you have rubrics and syllabi to go by right? Sure would! But these professors, they won't follow the rubric. They make it up each week so you can't be successful. They also have absolutely no understanding of how to use online teaching aids such as TurnItIn. I was given the grand HONOR of having 10% of my grade reduced simply because they don't know how to toggle on any settings and unfortunately, I have yet to figure out how to make a reference page including the titles of articles, authors, and URLs in my own word- my bad right?? Oh and if you reach out for help with anything, you pretty much get told that they did all they can do and you're on your own. If you want to be successful, choose literally anything but this place. Online school doesn't even allow you to have the one perk of the school- beachfront. Not worth it, don't waste your time, and do anything but this.

Worst 3 years of my life. Program switched form hybrid (which was a waste of time but nice to see people in person) to 100% asynchronous online due to COVID. The program director who teaches all the clinical classes is awful. Everyone was confused regarding multiple things such as amount of required clinical hours, how to document clinical hours which the program director will change the amount each time she talks with you, and if there was a MSN project (the answer is yes). I had to find all my... Read More clinical preceptors and some students fell behind a semester because they were unable to find a preceptor. Everyone in my class was struggling to balance work and school to the point of tears at times. There were no lectures just your text book and online discussions which they grade on quantity rather than quality. My education was sub par. I mainly learned from my preceptors and studying for the boards afterwards. Lucky we had a 100% pass rate but that’s due to using Sarah Michele review. We started off as a class of 12 and only 6 of us graduated on time. The other instructors bedsides the program director are very nice and understanding. I don’t recommend this school even though it’s quite affordable. My advice is to go to an on campus school.
