Hi! I am excepted too. I am so excited for orientation on the 17th!!! When did you take your NLN and how did you do?

I took the NLN on Feb 28th and received a 129... how about you? I must say, I feel pretty special to have found out so early since they told us we generally wouldn't hear back until mid to end of April haha... it was such an awesome surprise!

Thats awesome! Im confused on the score. The lady that was at the test pointed out the score they look at which 92. She said that was the percentile so guessing 90th percentile. I think I got one of the last few seats. She did say they accepted quite a few already. Are you going to register for day or night?

Hi oldcatlady71 & belladciccio

I'll be joining you at this fall too. Regarding completing the BSN at Farmingdale after the ADN, the admission rep said for the most part they don't accept ADN graduates. The curriculum is too different. But the hard part is getting the RN. After that your BSN options are vast. She said we can complete the BSN at Stonybrook which offers it online.

I'm nervous because of all the stuff I hear about attrition at nursing school. But I've been told good things about this program. Also anyone heard about how the registration process works? Is it hard to get classes at a particular time day, evening, weekend?

Yay!! Congrats NY teach... but urggh about the ADN to BSN. I was thinking that it would be an easier switch at Farmingdale but I guess nothing is ever easy! I feel like the orientation is soooo far away.

Dont worry about the BSN yet. There are so many schools that offer ADN to BSN. Post offers it and has a lot of flexibility for the working nurse. A lot of hospitals offer tuition reimbursment for staff who would like to return for a BSN. Cross that bridge when you get there. Im hoping to get into New Island for clinics because I live in Farmingale so its only 5 minutes from home. I wonder when we can register. Probably after orientation. We probably get to meet our advisor that day. That is why its from 9-3. Do you know whick web site the uniforms come from?

I think the registration is on the 17th when we go in there. I hope its not like alphabetical I don't want to end up registering at the end you know! I am unemployed right now (got laid off :/) so my schedule is free for anything but I was planning on getting a part time job when my benefits are over. But if the schedule is too crazy I'm not going to push my self.

I took the test on the 27th of FEB and still haven't received my letter. I also got a 92 and have all the pre-reqs with good grades.

The proctor at the exam on March 25th said that they make final decisions after Easter.

I was surprised to get the packet so soon, got mine on March 27th. Still waiting to hear back from NCC and Suffolk though.

Last night there was a death in my family and we are having the burial on this Friday the 17th. I am so terribly torn, I had so many questions and was really looking forward to going to the orientation. My father insists on me going because school is important but I can't NOT be by his side in his time of need losing his sister and pay my respects to my aunt. Does anyone know if they have a late orientation or if I could make an appointment to come earlier? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
