 Re: what have you heard about LIU nursing program?
You have to score a cumalitive of atleast 75% between over four sections: Reading Comp, Grammar, Math and Vocab. You're also tested on A&P, Chemistry and Biology. They see those scores too, but they aren't factored in. After taking the test you can see online how you did compared to the rest of the people that took the test along with you. It was clear that everyone studied for the first 4 sections and just kinda wanted to get the other sections over with.

Thank you. I want to start studying for the exam especially the grammar and vocab sections. That is my weakest point!
Goodluck and I hope I see you in the fall session

Congrats Riles on gettig in! I called them yesterday and I did not get accepted. Oh well, it just wasnt meant to be. I applied at other colleges, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: what have you heard about LIU nursing program?
I actually thought they followed up better than other schools I dealt with. Whenever I've had to e-mail admissions they've gotten back to me within 48 hours. SUNY Downstate was a complete disaster, and NYU answered an e-mail of mine literally 3 months later.
That's odd about your friends situations. Maybe the friend with less pre-reqs applied earlier and they filled up their spots by the time the 3.4 GPA'er did so. It is a rolling admissions process. I applied in the Spring and after getting accepted, decided to defer until this Fall. I was actually worried they were gonna say something like "we actually don't have a spot for you", because I had read that when you defer some programs, you're not necessarily guaranteed a spot for the following semester.

I agree, a lot of students take this test before they finish taking Anatomy and Physiology lol because they want to get it over with so most don't care how they do on it.

Re: what have you heard about LIU nursing program?
I am currently a student in the LIU nursing program going into my last year, honestly I wouldn't recommened the program at all, the registration process is horrible, the new curriculum was not planned correctly. Nursing school is always very hard but at this school its ridiculous( even some prof agree)... I have like 3 exams this week no lie!!, one in which I have to get 100! ( a medication calculation exam) this nursing school is extremely disorganized and some faculty do not respect the students. Very easy to get in but challenging to graduate and not only because the material is alot to handle. I always heard that LIU was good, but now that I'm in it, I definitely would have went somewhere else and I'm one of the few who are passing, not worth $13k going on $15K a semester. People boast about the 95% NCLEX passing rate but the 50-60 who graduate out of the 200+ that start work hard for it and make their way through the crap the program throws so of course they'll pass. Just my two cents, I dont mean to discourage anyone, just wanted to tell it how most ppl in the program see it, best of luck in your searches!!

Re: what have you heard about LIU nursing program?
Okay you've officially scared the hell out of me.
I'm already registered for my nursing courses for fall '09. I have a previous BA from a college with a sub par administration, so in that sense, I'm sure to be on top/borderline annoying about getting everything I need from the faculty. As far as work load though, I guess I can't really be fully prepared for it until school starts..Ugh.

Re: what have you heard about LIU nursing program?
Not many people are happy with the nursing department, unfortunately. I think we are all miserable. When I say, it is always SOMETHING, it truly is ALWAYS something going on to frustrate the students even more. As a matter of fact, I don't know ANYONE who is happy. Can't go back in time, unfortunately.
