Beth Israel 2012/2013 Applicants NYC

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone was applying to Beth Israel this fall or next Jan? Has anyone had an interview yet?

I have an interview with them next Thursday and was wondering if someone could give me an idea of how the interview process goes? This is my first choice school and really want to make sure I do everything I can to better my chances.

I was scheduled for the Open House back in Feb but had a last min. emergency so I missed it. I went in and personally handed in my application on Mar 1st. ( cutting it really close... i know). While there I spoke with Mrs. "*" and she was so helpful and nice. I also spoke with a male student who was playfully bugging her at the front desk and he was so cool. He told me about the teachers, the program, described his experience and says he loves it. He is part of the student government and was really helpful in answering some of my questions as well as Mrs. *.

So I would love to hear from other applicants. Has anyone applied to other schools besides Beth Israel? How do you feel about the PAX exam? (for those who have taken it or about to take it) Are you still waiting to hear from them or have you heard anything?

Also, if any current students could provide their take on the program, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and good luck to everyone!

Hi abiklags,

thank you for giving opportunity to ask questions about bi. My first day is today for ATOP, i am nervous. I have 3 kids, full time job. I know it will be too hard for me to study. How is the beginning, fundamentals? Are professors nice? What professor usually teach nursing 101? How is Nursing 100 online? Too many questions, right.

Hi abiklags,

Hi renka,

so fundamentals was both hard and easy. I did the trad program and did my A&P's with the nursing courses so I was at a disadvantage of not knowing the A&P. a lot of the information of fundamentals was learning the norms and anatomy of systems, generalities of nursing such as tests associated with different systems, how to assess. there were also lectures on safety, communication, nutrition, fluids and electrolytes as well as some history of nursing in the first lecture. I took 101 2 years ago and since then, one instructor took a NM job elsewhere (yay! we didn't like him anyways) and another is stepping down from full time because her commute was too long (2 hours each way). the professors they have now are good from what I heard around the school. there are a few professors who teach 101 but per AN policy I don't think I can write their names. 101 also has a lab which is a lot of fun. thats the part where you learn hand on skills before doing them in clinicals.

100 online is OK. the professor posted a lesson on moodle (like blackboard) along with the assignment of the week and homework. I found it hard to just learn from the video/ppt and the handouts so I bought the book and it made a great difference for me. there are 2 exams-the midterm and the final. there are also math competency exams before the start of the 201 and 202 in the second level so you do need to keep the knowledge current. the school also offers tutors for all subjects

even though I did the trad program, I did the ATOP lecture for 101, 102 and 103 because it fit my schedule better. I loved the atop class and classmates. I wish you lots of luck and feel free to ask more questions
