I recently submitted my application for the accelerated BNS program. I saw that other semesters had discussions and I thought it would be nice to start one for us, just to help each other out through the application process.
I looked at past ones when I was filling out my application and found them to be helpful, so hopefully it will be for us.
Love to see who all is applying and how it's going:)
Congratulations to everyone that was accepted into the Fall 2011 Accelerated BSN program!
I was curious if anyone applied to the traditional transfer program and then starting on the accelerated track in the Spring 2012/future? I didn't see a thread for Fall 2011 traditional transfers. I submitted my application on April 1 and haven't recieved any email confirmation from NYU on AlbertID or etc. I did email Admissions and she confirmed my application is under review.
Also, any current students have feedback on the traditional transfer program and how it works in conjunction with accelerated? For example, I only need to complete one pre-req and wasn't sure if I could take nursing classes/ electives that would tranfer into the accelerated program. I know I won't graduate with a BSN in 15 months but was hoping for 18-20 months to complete everything.
Thanks all for your advice/help!
Hey I applied traditional route with a view to moving to accelerated track two semesters later, I have a music degree so unsure how that will translate in terms if credits, it's also from a university in Europe. I don't know if I'm a recject or accepted yet, I got all my app and transcripts in around 3/20 or there abouts. I got the confirmation email from NYU about a week ago and access to Albert etc Since someone else going traditoal route already got their acceptance but applied for priority deadline, I'd say the date you applied greatly affects how soon you hear, I wouldn't expect to hear anything too sooner than next week, probably later...
I think if you're married have a family or big dogs New Jersey is a nice option... Brooklyn is nice but it's really over priced even areas further out like Bayridge, Im in West Harlem now. If you're single the Brooklyn Queens and Manhattan all have their benefits, depends on your likes.. If you can afford Manhattan, dont go as far up as Washington Heights which starts at around 140th St, I live about five blocks short of that area and it doesn't have a neighborhood feel or many good bars restaurants or general amenities for new comers, anywhere below that is fine.
Well done to those that got in! Best of luck to everyone still waiting.
Hey everyone, this is kind of a random question. Does anyone know if we get our RN in NY can we then also sit for another states NCLEX exam? I am from CA and plan on moving back, but I have been looking at jobs here for fun and they all want CA RN certified. Anyone know how this works?
From what I've been told, you can attend nursing school in any state, and then be registered as an RN in the state of your choice. Basically, because the NCLEX is a national exam, you can have your scores sent to the state of your choosing (in your case, California) no matter where you attend school or take the exam. Let's say you graduate from NYU and six weeks later take the exam in NYC somewhere. As long as you request that your score is sent to the California Board of Nursing (and that you pass the NCLEX), you would then be a RN in California. (This is my understanding of how it works, anyway.)

jdubs99 is sort of right. I'm graduating in a week and they've been explaining this to us in lecture because there are a lot of people going back to Cali after graduation.
If you know that you will be going to another state to work immediately after graduation you should arrange to take the NCLEX in that state. In your final semester you simply contact NYU admin, tell them you want to sit the exam in CA and they'll send all your paperwork to the CA board of nursing who will arrange for your test there. That way you will be immediately licensed & registered in CA when you pass and you can get to work.
If you take the NCLEX in NY you will have to request reciprocal licensure to be able to work in CA or any other state. Reciprocal licensure is almost always granted (unless you have a suspended license or something) but the process will take 2-3 months extra and will cost you around $200 extra, so it's best to sit for the NCLEX in the state where you are going to working after graduation. It will save you time and money.
Also, fyi, you get a free Kaplan NCLEX review course with your tuition and you can take the review course at any Kaplan location in any state, or online.
I just received my acceptance letter from NYU Admissions yesterday for the Fall Accelerated BSN 2011 program! I'm so excited and can't wait!
I'm currently still taking 4 prerequisite classes at NYU this spring semester and will be finishing the remaining 2 prerequisite classes this summer while working part time. For those interested in "stats" and how I applied, I applied as a transfer student and then filled out the Common App back in February to meet the priority 3/1 deadline. They processed my application materials/reccs/transcripts etc super quickly because admissions has been in touch with me on and off the past month, until I finally received the official acceptance yesterday. Not sure if it's because I'm a NYC resident and have been living here for 3 years or if it's because I'm taking all prereqs through NYU directly but the school has been very responsive to my inquiries and the entire process.
If anyone has any questions about prerequisite classes etc, feel free to drop me a line. I will have to say (and recommend) that taking all 6 prerequisite classes through NYU directly before applying to the 15 month Accelerated RN program is quite beneficial and personally, will give you a leg up with admissions etc. This is definitely the way to go for those looking to switch their careers seamlessly and in two years flat.
Congrats to all those accepted into the Fall 2011 Accelerated Program!

Hi fle5891,
So I only have to take microbiology and then I'm done with my pre-requisite. You think I should take it in summer school at my college right now or at NYU next semester if I get in. Also am I able to take nursing classes while finishing pre req or will I have to wa an aditional semester? Oooo and I will be a traditional transfer student if I get accepted.
Since you only have one class left to take, it'd probably be best to take it this summer at your college if they offer it because I know NYU specifically requests that you finish ALL basic prerequisites before even starting their 15 month program. There's just not enough time to finishing one prereq class + starting the actual program. If you wait to take Micro this fall, then that will push everything out one semester and you're better off applying for NYU's Spring 2012 Program in Sept/Oct instead if that's the route you choose. It really depends on how fast you want to get classes done to start a program.
As for my situation, I just signed up for 4 classes at NYU this semester - currently taking Micro, Chem, Developmental Psych, and Stats. Now that I've just got accepted to the Fall 2011 program, I'll finish the remaining 2 prereqs this summer (Anatomy/Physiology & Nutrition) before starting the program in September.
Hopefully that makes sense and answers your questions. I actually was going to spread all of the 6 classes above out this year and wait to apply for the Spring 2012 program, but I was able to work these classes into my current work schedule and luckily was able to squeeze everything in for this fall!
Let me know if you or anyone else has any other questions.
Also I don't know if any of you were planning on applying for the Hillman Scholarship for the program, but she also informed me that they won't be offering it this year
oh no! I just got told about that by a friend and was going to check it out today. Does that mean the only thing possible from nyu is the basic need based financial aid?
Oh and I haven't written my celebratory post...I got in! I got into Georgetown as well the day before so I've got to spend the next week or so really thinking about that decision. Oy! How lucky am I that Georgetown vs NYU is the tough decision I have to make! (secret is I'm leaning heavily toward NYU!)
YES! Got accepted :) cannot WAIT for new york city !!!
Currently taking Anatomy and Physiology I and II, and then was planning to take Nutrition over the summer. Can anyone recommend an online nutrition course?
congrats to everyone that's been accepted!! hopefully the rest of us will hear soon. I wonder if the next batch will be this coming friday? I would like to know earlier so I can decide whether to work or study abroad :/ but I just checked albert and all my trancripts have been checked off so I'm guessing they're reviewing apps now (btw I applied a couple days after priority but nyu didn't process my app till around 28 days later)
