Saint Vincent School of Nursing In Staten Island

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hi ,

I'm new to the board and am just lookin for some info about Saint Vincent's School of Nursing in Staten Island .... I heard it a really good program and just wanted some imput about it before i spoke to the school

Thanks :thankya:

Passing while you are in the school is 80. With your pre-reqs you cannot transfer anything less than a C.

Along with the nursing courses if you haven't taken some general educations courses before-hand, then you will take them while enrolled. They may have changed, but what I had to take is:

Psychology

English Composition

Microbiology

Anatomy 1 & 2

English Literature

Ethics

Sociology

All of the classes are offered at the school except Microbiology. That you have to take at St. Francis.

Hope that helps!

hi , i took all my liberal art classes except literature and sociology , do they transfer cuny credits. i took all my liberal art classes in BMCC.

can you give me some heads up about the how the first semester will be like , i mean the syllabus and exams that they cover.

i have to take the net exam in 3 weeks, how much does that count towards acceptance? do they allow you to take classess outside st frances? im waiting to get in january hopefully.

They took most of my credits from CSI, the only thing is that if you have taken Anatomy & Physiology...it must be taken consecutively. The first semester wasn't too bad, it's the fundamentals of nursing. The second semester was where it started getting pretty difficult. Once you enroll, you are not allowed to take classes anywhere else. The NET exam is like the first hurdle. Once you get past that, then they take grades into consideration.

Sorry to respond so late. No, they do not break semesters in half. Fundamentals is a full semester, Med-Surge 1 is a full semester and then in senior year it is Med-Surge 2 and Maternity/ Psych. The standards are pretty high, 80 is passing. But it is so far the best school I have attended. You learn a great deal of information, and get a really good amount of clinical experience.

thanks so much for the information

I am currently attending the St. Vincent's SON. I am not going to offer my personal opinion because they were bought by another company, so things are going to change (and in some ways they have already started to change).

The clinical experience is good there because they have many different areas that the students do their rotations on.

Also, Bayley Seton Hospital (which is a beautiful campus) was purchased and it is going to be turning into an active living center for senior citizens, so the site of the SOn is going to be changing (I think I heard to South Avenue, but don't hold me to it).

I am going to be graduating this December, and if you have any questeions, you can write them here, or PM me.

hi i just read your post,

i have applied to this college for january 2009

how was the net exam? how much does it count towards the entrance to the program? i took A and P I and II from last june 2007 in BMCC and Laguarida, will they make me take it again.... any ideas..?

i have all my lib art courses completed except for literature and sociology. do they allow students to take courses in other colleges while being in their program? i would not want to go to st frances and pay so much for these two classess consisting of 6 credits. do we have options?

they dont tell anything thats why im asking... i will wait for ur response please guide me.

Specializes in SICU, MICU, CICU, NeuroICU.
I agree! All of the instructors during my experience have been excellent.

They also decided to stay at the current campus. They are expanding to another floor of Bayley Seton.

I wonder how that's possible since the hospital is supposed to close. Interesting.

It was a good experience when I was there. I hope yours is just as enjoyable.

The building is actually not closing. Some of the substance abuse programs housed in that building have left, but the psychiatric er is still up and running. The school also expanded, and now has additional floors. They added a new clinical lab and more student lounges. Also, computer rooms for students to practice NCLEX ques...it looks great!

hi im new to all of this and i have just been accepted to st vincents school of nursing and im 90% sure ive been accepted to CSI nursing program also but wont know until january. Can anyone give insight about the two. The differences and similarities and which one would you go to? thanks alot

Hello Everyone! I am also new to the board and just recently got accepted to the January 09' class at SVCMC. I'm so excited! I'm just finishing up all the paperwork that they need, anyone have any info about financial aid? I applied and now have to speak with the school on what i was awarded, are loans available?

thanks

danielle :D

and in response to insight about csi and saint vincents: i work at SIUH and know many nurses who graduated from both programs. They are all great nurses from both csi and st vincents, the pro's about saint vincents is that the classes are much smaller so you can get the extra help needed and its more personal, csi has a great program too though.

Hi All,

Im interested in the ST. Vincent's SON and was on the website but couldn't really get any info as to how to get a application or things like that. Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated!!
