ABSN Mount Saint Vincent vs. Phillips School of Nursing

[dandamannyc]

Hi Everyone

I posted this on the PSON ABSN 2023 thread however I did not get any replies.

I received an email that ABSN PSON Fall 2023 was full. They want to move my application to Spring 2024. I have been accepted to ABSN Mount Saint Vincent for Fall 2023. 

1. Should I wait for PSON Spring of 2024?

2. Are the programs quality different? 

3. I've heard that after graduating at PSON you're pretty much guaranteed a job? Is this true?

Tuition - PSON 60k vs MSV 70k

Program Length - PSON 15mos vs MSV 16mos

Thank you in advance.

I applied for Fall 2023 and had my application moved to Spring 2024 after they told me they were full. I received my acceptance for Spring 2 weeks ago.  I am waiting on another school but I did put down my deposit for this school incase. I've heard students are pretty much fending for themselves at CMSV but I am not entirely sure.

 

Did you decide on CMSV?

Sorry for the late reply. I decided on another school. Too many red flags on CMSV. It was my safety school.

Please stay away from CMSV. Their program isn't what they advertise it to be. They are also under investigation by the CCNE due to their low NCLEX pass rates. Their professors are horrible. The program wants you to fail and it is actively designed to make you do so. I wish someone would've told me all of this because I would've gladly waited another semester and applied elsewhere
