I work full-time as a patient care tech, I work an evening schedule, and am trying to find part-time B.S.N. programs in NYC.
I'm currently finishing pre reqs at Lehman College but I already know I'm probably not going to get into any CUNY program because they're public and have crazy waiting lists so...
I know Adelphi has part-time but I heard its difficult to get in. College of Mount Saint Vincent and College of New Rochelle seem like they're pretty long, so if I were to do them part time, I might be in school until 2023 or something. No thanks, I'm turning 32 next week.
Mercy College's BS program doesn't seem that long but I don't know if they do part-time, I know they do it for the MSN though.
If I can't get something, I may have to either:
1) Switch to night shift (which sounds crazy because if I'm doing a BSN full time then I won't get any sleep and will probably fail).
2) Give up and get a B.S. in accounting instead.
I'm amazed at the lack of part-time options for this particular education. It's like, in order to attend their full-time programs, you need to be either unemployed or living home with mom and dad.
Hi- I'm in a siMilan position... working full time and trying to go back part time for nursing and I'm actually looking at LIU. Pace I believe has a part time program as well.. just very expensive
