   Hi jaccckie, I applied for Fall 2017 and was accepted but decided to commit to another program. I applied with a 4.0 in nursing pre-reqs and a 3.9 undergrad GPA. Hope this helps and good luck, this is a great program!

2. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

   blackberrymousse replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

   Yeah there's a bit of a populist attitude which I can sort of understand but I don't think it helps the profession and could contribute to why the general public seems to view nursing as not intellectually challenging or stimulating -- I routinely ge...

   I got the email and was able to sign up for it. I think it's limited to 20 students. The last in person admitted students day that I know of was on May 10th. There's supposed to be some more virtual ones so they'll probably send out more emails for t...

   Would love to have you as a future classmate, Nursegirl94, but no one would fault you for choosing the less expensive program at Wagner either. Believe me, I'm still having mini panic attacks on the regular about how much all this is going to cost.

   Hey browneyes91, I heard it's not hard and that the hardest section on it is the science one, it's A&P heavy and supposedly will ask at least one question about every major system so maybe review A&P if you don't feel too comfortable about it...

   Thank you very much for the advice, it makes a lot of sense!

   blackberrymousse replied to jss469t77's topic in School Programs

   Okay I've calmed down and am less bummed now. Hopefully it's just a glitch in their system or they're backed up and if enough people ask, they'll realize that there are quite a few people who have not received these emails with a lot of important inf...

8. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

   blackberrymousse replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

   How do employers decide who to hire if, hypothetically, there are several candidates vying for a nursing job and they all passed the NCLEX and can do the job? GPA? Personality? Something else given that what school the candidates did their nursing pr...

   Or RSVPing for Orientation! I didn't even know the orientation date had been set already! Or when to RSVP for CPR training. Or that we have to take some Kaplan assessment test and the date we're supposed to show up for it. And the criminal background...

    That is ridiculous. I paid my deposit on 04/27 and haven't received ANY of those emails. Not a single one. I'm actually really unhappy right now with their lack of communication after taking $500 of my money. ETA: Thank you very much, andreahm, for s...

    I paid my deposit last Thursday and I haven't received any further communication from the school except my financial aid award which was posted to my Albert account.

    Hey guys, hope you're all having a nice weekend! Does anyone know if NYU offers us an NCLEX prep course or are we on our own when it comes to studying and preparing for it?

    Me! I got an email from Federal Student Aid saying that my FAFSA had been processed and sent on to schools this past Monday, but I still haven't gotten my fin aid package. I don't know how long it usually takes.

    When you say a lot of the classes are in podcast form, do you mean they are not held in person but rather online? I had heard that all the classes were recorded and made available as podcasts for students to use/if they had to miss class, but do you ...
