Adelphi nursing program

Nurse J823 · Apr 12, 2016

I am currently a nursing student at Adelphi! I transfered last year and after this semester I will be a senior in the fall. I graduated from NCC with an AA which really helped because they have a couple of humanity requirements before they let you into the higher level nursing classes(they waved them). Taking pre-reqs before I transfered helped me alot too (I took statistics, A&P1 and chem) but I still had to take a semester's worth of pre-reqs before starting Fundamentals (the first nursing clinical course). Even though I took a chemistry course I was still required to take their chemistry class which was annoying but I didn't mind cause the class directly targeted towards what you need to know in the future as a nurse. "Nursing Chemistry" is what me and my friend's called it. You learn the formula how to calculate medicine doses.

I didn't mind the extra semester and actually thought it was helpful as a warm up/training session for what I was getting myself into. Nursing school is a lot of hard work and you obviously know that by now, but if you have good time management skills, you can do it.

As for the program, I enjoy it. The school does a great job preparing their students and theyre very personable. There are a few rotten apple staff members/professors but its easy to avoid them because word gets around lol. As the other girl stated before, ATI is an online program you have to do along with lecture. Its a ***** but i think it really does help prepare you to pass the NCLEX.

Hope this helped! Good luck

@Nurse J823 Do you mind sharing your GPA and TEAS scores from when you were admitted into the program? I am trying to figure out my chances of being accepted! Thanks for posting about the program!

Hey I just graduated in December 2015 from Adelphi. I LOVE them!!!
Background: I have a previous baccalaureate degree. I did not do the accelerated program, I did the regular bsn program as a "transfer" student.
Program: they are big on ATI, so the TEAS exam is only the beginning. The professors I had were AMAZING!! Of course there was that one or two that wasn't as good as the rest, but overall good professors. After each nursing course, theres a proctored computerized ati exam (fundamentals, pharm, psych, etc). Honestly I hated ATI until my last semester, it was just so unpredictable. The workload is definitely manageable and nursing students ahead of you are always willing to help with tips. I graduated magna cum Laude.
At the end you are given this ATI comprehensive exam that's supposed to be an NCLEX predictor (chances of passing nclex if you sat for it that day), I got a 91%. So basically if that day I took the nclex, I had a 91 percent chance of passing. Then when you graduate there's a mandatory 3 day ATI comprehensive review for the NCLEX. I used the skills I learned from the review and purchased the Kaplan Qbank (NOT THE ENTIRE COURSE, just the question bank) to study for the boards.
passed the boards in Feb, first try, with 87 questions.
As for feeling prepared in my career, I'll keep y'all posted, I start in May.
Anymore questions, ask or pm me.

Hi iNurse, I was just wondering how long it took you to complete the BSN as a transfer student? And did you have all of the pre-reqs completed before you started the program?Thanks!

I had a 3.7 at the time and I'm not sure what the exact score I got on the TEAs was but it wasn't high, I just barely passed and I don't think I even finished the math section tbh lol. Adelphi will accept you if your GPA is high enough and if you pass the TEAs. Good luck!

I have been accepted too! Just registered to take my remaining semester of prereqs in Fall 2016. I'm still waiting to hear about financial aid, which is nerve racking. How long did it take others to find out about their financial aid packages?

lexluger513 · May 4, 2016

Thats the same thing I'm waiting for.

Dani_A · May 4, 2016

I found out that I got an Adelphi Transfer Scholarship, but I haven't heard about any other financial aid. I was told to check back at the end of May.
