Can anyone tell me about Touro ?

Any more replies anyone? Gabby did you decide to apply?

I want to do some prereqs first and get them out of the way. Especially since the school doesn't start classes until June. Does anyone know if this is ok?

Will they accept A&P classes from a community college? I'm guessing it won't lessen the cost, but I want to be sure don't get in over my head taking non-nursing classes & nursing classes at the same time.

Elsewhere on this board it appears most agree that it can be a recipe for failure!

When I applied last year you had to have all of the preqs done before you could start the program. Guess that must have change.

I was accepted at Touro into their nursing program but decided on NSC instead due to time and money. It appeared to be a really great program. I met alot of the instructors during the tour and they all seemed really knowledgable and supportive. Alot of the newer nursing programs only have provisional BON approval because they need to maintain a certain NCLEX pass rate for so many years (I was told it often takes 7+ years to get full approval). They like to know that the program can consistently prepare students for the test. If money and time weren't an issue for me I probably would have chosen Touro but I'm pretty happy at NSC right now. My first semester was awful, but they made some changes and I feel pretty good about my current level of learning and my clinical experiences.

Dee, would you mind sharing your application stats? I've really been considering the ELM program at Touro lately. Glad to hear that you're having a good experience at NSC!
