Saint Paul's School of Nursing May 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi everybody. I'm curious to anyone that has or is attending Saint Paul's School of Nursing, Queens' campus, what was your experience like? I am looking to apply for admission in May 2017. I took the SLE on Tuesday, and was accepted for preapplication. What was the order of documents/tests you've completed? When did you send in your (if applicable) college transcripts, before or after you took the HESI or interview with the president?

I've been trying to get into a Nursing program for a good year now, I think St. Paul's is where I'm looking forward to getting into.

Hello, I applied for their May 2017 nursing program as well. I did the Hesi and passed on Dec. 22nd. I have since been waiting for a call to have an interview with the President. I took all of my documents to the school to the school before I did the Hesi exam.

Hi Ms.Newnurse,

Have you received a phone call as of yet? Fingers crossed for you!! I am going to an information session this week. I will also be applying for the May 2017 program. What topics were on the Hesi exam?

Thank you!!

Hello, the Hesi was basic Math and English. I did two review classes and I think they were very helpful.

Hi, I too am applying for the May 2017 class at the queens campus. I'm just a lil worried since I heard there's only about 50 seats left. I just took my SLE exam today and passed with a score of 26. I have my HESI scheduled on Feb 24. Since I've seen many people applied as early as December 2016 and I'm 3 months late. Hope I get into the May program. Is anyone else here who just applied this month?

Hello all !

I applied to the May 2017 semester. I passed my HESI with an 85 in English and 90 in Math. I had my interview today and I think it went really really well. I was told I would hear back in a week or so if I got accepted (praying so). Good luck to everyone applying and waiting for their interview calls.

Hi all, I am a current SPSON student in my second semester. I think most of you have figured out the order for applying is to take the wonderlic, then prep for the HESI and bring your completed application the day that you are sitting for the exam. When I applied, I was taking two prereqs that I wanted to transfer in, so I had to wait until my grades and transcripts were available before submitting to the school (which delayed my application from being reviewed and pushed back my admission determination).

Honestly, so far so good! I really enjoy the classes, professors and am a part of an amazing class/cohort. I started clinicals two weeks ago and am loving the experience. Fair warning, I began the program while working a demanding full-time job, luckily I started saving money as soon as I found out I was accepted to the program. Please believe I had to make the decision to leave my job the day that I saw my schedule for the second semester. Currently, many of my classmates are faced with similar decisions. The program is doable while working, most of us made it through the first semester while holding on to a job... but when you hit the second semester and are taking 5 classes (2 with labs) PLUS clinicals, things start to get REAL. My life consist of more studying than anything else- you have to make the decision and mentally prepare to make nursing school your #1 priority.

My advice is to prepare yourselves for the ride of a lifetime, warn your family and friends from now that you will not be available for weeks at a time, SAVE from the moment you pass your HESI, and work with your fellow classmates to stay afloat - the competition is over once you get accepted, you have to work together to actually make it to graduation!

Good luck!
