I was calling York college to ask for info on there RN to BSN program. However to my surprise, on there phone message, they said that they're going to open a new program for those who want to become a nurse. It didn't say if it was a ADN or BSN program. It will start Sept. 09, but they are not accepting applications or inquiries at this time. But those who want to go there, it is usually one catch with cuny's schools. You usually need to go there a Semester before you start there nursing program. In other words, you need to transfer there this January.

PS - have anyone heard of there RN to BSN program? is there a waiting list?

Yes it is true. York college is starting a BSN program in September. They currently have a RN to BSN program, where like any other CUNY school there is no waiting list. It is my understanding that if you've applied and don't get accepted, they do not hold your name over till the next semester or assign you a number on a list of people to call if there is an opening.

There was information on York College's website. I went there today to copy and paste the link but there is a message that the page is being updated.

Does anyone know how competitive it is to be accepted to York College? I know CUNY's are usually very competitive, the tuition rates are great!

For there RN to BSN, there is no waiting list. However for there traditional BSN, its not competive yet because hardly anyone is aware of it. The cuny school Hunter, everyone knows about it and its difficult to get in. So if anyone wants to try to get into a BSN program that is not expensive, now is the time to do so. I feel eventually it will be like Hunter, also then there will be a waiting list on there RN to BSN program.

Thank you. I am thinking of applying now for Spring admission, take a class or two so my foot is in the door, then switch to the BSN program when I pass the NCLEX. Looking at their website, it looks like they are going to a total BSN program and it is a very good program they have compiled.

I graduated from York in 2003 with my BA. Usually CUNY schools arent difficult to get into, the usually accept most that apply. But getting into the program may be different because this is a new program.

I'm happy that you went to school when it wasn't so difficult. Now all CUNY nursing programs are difficult to get in. Suddenly in the past 3 to 4 yrs nursing school became difficult to get in. Everyone is changing careers.
Now CUNY schools is one of the most difficult schools to get in now.

Wow, you graduated with a BSN 5 yrs ago. I'm happy for you.
