Any New York students?

I was thinking about Hostos, taking a CNA class there on Monday. BMCC - they have a no guanranteed entrance and one to three semesters wait to get in. If I decide to go for my BSN, I was thinking about Hunter.

Kris, where is Florida are you? I have family at each tip. LOL

Hi GraceyB, I'm in Bradenton which is on the Gulf Coast, 30 minutes south of St. Pete.

I was looking at the Hunter website, pretty impressive. I think that even if I do the ADN down here, I might try to get in the RN to BSN up there.

Where in the city are you? I love Manhattan, especially the Upper East Side. It's amazing how small townish it could feel during off peak hours.

Feel free to email me if you [email protected] (as you can see, NY is still in my blood).

Hi Gracey! I am a nursing student at BMCC. After this semester I only have one more to go! The only reason you would wait to get into the program is if your GPA is low or you're applying to the evening program(in that case you would need all pre-reqs done before starting nursing courses). So don't believe everything you hear. Many times, schools may say things to discourage a student. It has happened to me. I say apply to every place you're interested in. It gives you a broader base to work with. I also like Hunter's BSN program. I graduated from there a few years ago with a diff. major (obviously). At the time, I wasn't able to get into their nursing program, but I'll probably go back for the BSN. Good luck to you and feel free to contact me.

Lilmamita, (luv the handle)

I thought that Hunter only had a bridge RN/BSN program and above.

I graduated from BMCC in 97 and on the Dean's list. Think I'll have some sort of senority to get into the program? LOL

How is it going for you at BMCC? You're almost done - good for you!!!!!

Hey girl! Hunter has a Generic pathway RN program for those of us who are not nurses. Then they have a RN pathway which is the RN-BSN program and graduate courses as well.

Re: BMCC, yeah you should definitely have some clout up in there! It's going well thank you. I'm just counting the days until the end of this semester. I've learned in this program to just take it one exam at a time!
