SVCMC is such a good program! They have the best clinical instructors. You learn sooooo much from school. And most hospitals in the NYC area are anxious to employ SV grad's because they are well known to be very educated graduates. Be prepared to let go of your entire social life though!!!! It's a very intense program but wonderful and small. You will make a great nurse after graduating this program. A ton of my closest friends just finished and are graduating June 5th. Congrats to them and all other 08 grads!!!

I'm not sure.... I recieved my certification in CPR and First Aid through the Red Cross about 2 months ago, so I'm hoping I don't have have it done again after school starts until it expires.

Thanks so much!

Yea I have all of my liberal arts completed. But I do have to do A&P1/2, Micro, and Pharmacology. I was gonna try to knock out A&P this summer, but my son is due July 2nd so I'll miss Summer Session 1. The school told me they weren't letting people break up A&P anymore, since every school has different ways they teach 1 or 2. So I'm holding out til the fall.
