    Sure. I graduated last December. What do you want to know?
  2. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    That place is AWFUL. I can't imagine anyplace being worse. Senior Management works so hard to keep their "Planetree" status. Planetree my butt. They are so evil.
  3. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    The whole place sucks. Patients think the nursing care is great, but us nurses themselves feel like there are cameras somewhere waiting for us to drop a pill or get a BP wrong so one of the nasty women from nurse education can come up to the floor w...
  4. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    $32.70/hour for BSN. Northern Westchester has a "dirty little secret" that most people on the outside are not aware of. Nurse preceptors are in the business of ratting orientees out for every single thing they do. It is not a learning experience. ...
  5. Pace University Spring 2012

    Sure. I had a really good GPA in undergrad, like a 3.9, but my prerequisites were not great. I got a C+ in A&P I, a B in A&P II, a B+ in Chem and a B+ in Micro. We had to take the GRE's, too, which I don't think they require anymore. But ...

    I don't know. *I know they're pretty stringent about the grades you get on the prereq's. *Call and find out. * I just graduated 20 days ago from the CDP program. *Definitely life-changingly difficult. * But worth it if you can hang in there.
  7. CDP Pace University One year program

    I'd be glad to help you. I'm in the program now and can definitely help. But I'd rather email you offline -- not in this forum. Can you provide me with your email address? This way I can speak more freely. Thanks, Maybesooninny
  8. Pace University CDP

    You're welcome. Sounded like you needed some balance. I heard some scary stuff going in, too, and was pretty scared, but everybody is different. The people who go in knowing what they're getting into and take responsibility for their own failures ...
  9. Pace University CDP

    Newnurse1234, I'm halfway through the 2-year "part-time" program at Pace. Most of what is said is kinda true, but in the end, how successful you are is up to you. Even the two year program isn't easy and the one year program is ridiculously hard, b...
  10. CDP Pace University One year program

    Hi. I'm about halfway thru the 2 year accellerated Pleasantville CDP program -- had all my prerequisites going in so started clinicals my first semester. It is very hard. NO question. And they drop you like a bad disease if you get below a 77 in a...
  11. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    Fortunately or unfortunately, Pace and anybody else's nursing programs have a plentitude of willing and able students to take their place. They have no remorse about flunking people out whatsoever.
  12. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    The possibility of being kicked out is very real. I'd say at least ten people out of 60 (which is about the total number of people in the one year and two year programs combined) were dismissed from the program last semester... either mid way thru t...
  13. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    Agreed. I got a C+ in A&P I and applied to the one year program but was accepted into the 2 year program. When I asked, I was told that although my undergrad performance was stellar, the prereq's and the GRE scores both had some blemishes. The...
  14. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    They don't want to see C+'s in anything in the prereq's but perhaps the Organic Chem will help. I really don't know. I'm only in my second semester of part time study. The total amount of tuition I've paid out has been $12,000 and Subsidized and U...
  15. Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

    You're welcome. I was just speaking to a classmate yesterday who is in the 1-year program who said her undergrad grades were just a 3.0, but she got A's in her prerequisite classes and did really well on the Miller Analogies Test which is the other ...
