I applied to NYU, LIU, Hunter, BMCC, Adelphi and Molloy. Only Adelphi and Molloy require any entrance tests.

I also applied to CNR and I believe that there is a entrance exam -NET for the accelerated program. Did you take it yet? I haven't.

LIU does require an entrance exam. They have an entrance exam for the college and then they use the HESI A2 as an entrance exam for their nursing program but they don't use any science portions, just math, reading comprehension, grammar and vocab.

Is this a test LIU needs for entrance once you were accepted, or as part of the application process? I wasn't aware of this at all.

The college entrance exam is after you're accepted to the school. The Hesi exam isn't taken until you finish all of your pre-reqs.

from reading the posts on these boards it seems that LIU gives the hesi exam at the end of every month to properly prepare their students for the exit exam. Do a search for "LIU and HESI" on here and you'll see what I mean. BTW they have a very high percentage pass rate for the nclex rn exam.

LIU has an entrance exam (either HESI or NET, not sure which they are currently using) that you take the semester before starting clinicals. That HESI is fairly easy, nothing to get worried about.

The HESIs that you take during the nursing portion are a whole different story. So far, I took one HESI last semester in the fundamentals level and will be taking two HESIs this semester (OB/Gender Specific & Psych). Not sure how many I will be taking my last two semesters.

They did a trial run with the NET last year and a lot of people did poorly so they went back to using the HESI for the entrance portion. Don't know if they will be changing it again lol. I wanted to ask since you mentioned it, is Gender Specific nursing mostly OB?

the first half is OB (L&D, nursery, PP, NICU, etc)...I'm starting the second half next week and we are pretty clueless as to what to expect. I'm guessing it will focus on reproductive issues, but not sure if it will be just men, or both men & women as far as the clinical goes.

College of newrochelle doesn't have any entrance test but they have a test for accelearted ones. In general,They havea direct program also college of mount saint vincent doesn't have any entrance test either.LIU has a test called HESI which is harder.I believe Net exam is way better than HESI
