Anyone plan to attend in January or already a student? I have applied for January admission and was hoping to meet some other students.

St. Joes is the best nursing school in Syracuse

I agree. I would even go as far as to say it's one of the best nursing schools in the region.

St. Joes has an excellent reputation for being the best in the region...I, along w/ so many others had done extensive research as well beforehand....they are definately, hands down #1...no question about it...:)

You have your opinion as I have mine. Let's agree to disagree and lest you forget, this thread is titled "Crouse Hospital" so let's keep the discussion to the subject at hand. If you wish to tout the praises of your opinion of " hands down #1...no question about it..." school then perhaps you should start a thread of your own to discuss it.

Thank you.

I am looking into applying to this school as well. They have excellent nclex pass results.

Wow they are one of the best in New York state. Not even the "Almighty" Bsn nclex first time test takers are getting those scores. Lol!!!! I like also how they offer those extra non credit courses in different specialty areas extra clinical practice. Yeah!!!

HI. I'm starting at Crouse in Fall 2012. Pretty nervous. I'm trying to prepare ahead of time with books and uniforms. Im enrolled in NUR 110, NUC 110, NUL 110 and PSY 206. Does anyone know where I can find an up to date list of the books I'll need? I checked the Crouse textbook sight, but it only lists up to Summer 2012. I just dont want to get backed into a corner on buying books at the last minute. Also, Do I need to get my uniforms right away or can I wait unitl after orientation (August 15th-17th). Thanks.

I am not sure about the test books, it should be listed already. But you have sometime before you will need your uniform.
