• Mixed feelings Pros: -Affordable -Knowledgeable faculty -In-person components for hands-on learning Cons: -High rate of faculty turnover -Some classes lacking in academic rigor -No help finding preceptors - Alum
• Good preparation The program was restructured due to feedback of preceptors. They said we needed more academic work before going to clinicals. That was a good idea. Also, the school was proactive in helping us to find preceptors. - Alum
• Graduate school I worked while going to school part time. I liked the program bc it was not all online. We spent one day in class. It was manageable. - Alum
• Great program The program has changed since I graduated in 2011 so not sure how helpful my review will be but I thought professors were excellent, treated you like an adult, understood we had lives and were willing to work with us. We had to find our own preceptors but they helped as best they could. UMSL had a higher boards pass rate then any of the other programs for way less money - Alum
• Great program 2010-2012 I left UMSL well-prepared to sit for boards. The track coordinator was very helpful with sound guidance and her own rich nursing experience. At the time, there was little help with finding preceptors which was done by myself with use of networking -- one reason I would recommend working in a hospital or the healthcare setting while in school. There were a few times I needed to take a vacation day from floor nursing in order to complete clinical hours, but I was excited to be nearing completion of the program! - Alum
