Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone here has applied to the Accelerated BSN nursing program at Dominican College in NY starting in May 2013?

@Pookie89 I was there! I just graduated this past May! I hope we get in too. I previously was nursing at pace then I changed my major... That was a disaster... So I'm hoping to get into Dominican and start fresh.

@Emilydanz,

I was on the same boat!! I was in the nursing program from 07'-09','10ish...for 3 1/2 years and then I had to commute because my mom was really sick I couldn't handle the workload. Anyways, the professors did not help me at all. I ended up with a C for one class...my 2nd semester of the Junior yr. They told me that I had to wait a whole year to retake the class and just take bs classes...I was definitely not up for that so I changed my major to Psych, graduated on time in 2011. Anyways, I am hoping that Dominican is different from Pace. The program at Pace was so disorganized. My clinical professors told me to check out Dominican (lol) I mean they teach at Pace but they say to go to another school?? really...????

But I do have a couple of friends who graduated at Pace for nursing and they are quite successful now, but they regret for not attending a different school. Everyone learns differently. I'm sure that not every school is perfect..

OMG! Same thing with me! Literally to the tee. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was going into my junior year so I switched my major to psych and graduated on time too! Professors there were nasty. I did not have a good experience and I too am hoping Dominican will be better and I hope I get in. I'm sure we will get in. I hear they are pretty good with acceptances.... Should be any day now.

@Emilydanz, yea, my mom was diagnosed w/kidney transplant (2nd time) it's really hard to deal with something like that. Anyways, did you take the english placement exam yet?

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope she is doing ok now. And no not yet. I will soon.... Have you taken it? I may wait to see if I get in first... I'm not sure what to do yet. I wonder if we know the same people at pace since we were there at the same time... Before you started commuting did you live on campus? @Pookie89

@Emilydanz, same with you. I'm sorry to hear that your mom is going through that. I haven't taken the exam yet. I just don't think it's worth taking it until I find out that I got into the program..

Before I commuted, I lived in North, Martin hall then my sophomore year I lived in the townhouses. You?

@Pookie89... Thanks, yes she is doing well now.

I don't know if it's better to take it now or not. I can't decide. I was told by Sister Carmel to take it and get it over with but when I called to make an appointment they said for me to come towards mid-February/March because of transfer students and stuff and that they are booked.

I lived in North and Martin too! I started commuting my last semester...private message me your name. We probably met or saw each other before haha

I'm not sure how to private msg. Yours is the same as your username right? I'll add you on fb..

Yea just add me on Facebook it's the same.

Hey gennisajenius

did you hear from the school yet?

I haven't heard anything yet, have you? I ended up not taking the English placement test yet, it really doesn't make sense to take it until I find out if I'm in. Have you heard anything yet?

Scratch that...I just got home to find an acceptance letter!!!!!! Wooo! How about anyone else?
