Oh... are you being considered for the Fall semester? The test consists of Math, Reading, English and Science. The test is fairly easy. Just brush up on your basic math skills and also brush up on your basic bio, chem, A&P and physics skills and you will be fine. I took the test in Oct and I'm still waiting for my response. I was interviewed by one of the deans too. So, here I am patiently waiting. Good luck

I'm being considered for the fall semester too. I met with one of the associate deans/director for my interview this past thursday and she said she thinks i will do really well in the program and doesn't see a reason why i wouldn't be accepted. I'm waiting to hear from them. They weigh your GPA and your TEAS score roughly the same. I did terrible in the science section because it was all over the place but basically my GPA got me in. The Admissions committee she said should be reviewing applications on monday. They supposedly meet once a month so hopefully we'll hear something soon. :)

OMG i think im in the evening program:D. I applied a year ago and i took the teas exam during 09'summer. I didnt get interview until 6 weeks ago. But surprisingly the dean just called me and said i was accepted. Theres an additional fee of $100 for something and i should receive more info in 2 weeks. Im really bad at listening when i get excited:confused:. lol so i hope she calls or sends me something explaining everything. Does anyone live in the bx and is interested in traveling together, starting a study group etc? Any advice regarding the program?:uhoh3:. Can i purchase used books

wow. They really take their time getting back to you at this school. I believe the $100-$300 goes towards the first payment of your tuition. if you're aiming toward the evening program "theory classes are generally 2 days a week, beginning at 5:30P.M. and ending by 11:00 P.M. Clinical practice hours are 5:30 P.M. - 11:30 P.M., two days a week, with some daytime and weekend hours as needed." If i get in fall semester i'd be coming from queens. I hear the best bet is to make a study group a.s.a.p. all you're gonna be doing is studying. stay on top of the reading and for the first class for the math basics do the questions in the book. Basically just stay on top of your assignments. i looked on the other cochran thread about two books to start you off. this is supposedly the math for meds book-http://product.half.ebay.com/_W0QQprZ48672122QQcpidZ1367453461, and this one is the fundamentals book http://product.half.ebay.com/_W0QQprZ60705251QQcpidZ1379678858.

Hope that helps :)

Oh okay. Thank you for the info. Yeah i read through the other threads as well, and there is a ton of studying. Also, on my interview they mention there was an abundance of applicants, and they were just getting around to the stack that contain mine. There program and entrace test is going to change soon i believe. There is a version V. TEAS so it wil probably be that or maybe NLN but less likely since they proctor the TEAS already. In reference to the books, I also read that the other book is the fundamentals of nursing book 6ed. so i will look into that. Thanks again and goodluck with your application as well. Be patient and have a plan B & C like i did. I thought they ripped me off and forgot about me, but fortunately they were understandably swamp with applicants. They will overtime respond to all applicants just have all your documents in a timely matter. I will post more info when i receive it. And wow what a drive from queens to yonkers, I did it before in the summer with no a/c in my car during rush hour omg horrible.

Are you a transfer student or straight out of high school? I already went to molloy and basically got all of my general education classes out of the way so now all i have to take and focus on are the nursing classes and clinicals. I applied in December, took the TEAS in mid-Feb and the interview at the end of Feb. I feel like I didn't have to wait that long to hear a response. I was interviewed by Dr. Juanita Hickman (Associate Dean) and she said she didn't think there would be any problem with me getting in. Maybe she's giving me false hope. she said she would write me a good recommendation so who knows? For now I have to wait and see. I'd have to get up early (i applied to the day program) to avoid traffic and i'll have my first car so it shouldn't be that bad. I hear it only takes a half an hour to get there from where i live.

If they don't accept me for the fall i think i may head to farmingdale or york college and try them out.

Im a transfer student from Hostos CC. My interviewer was the nursing psychology professor who i might add was a very pleasant interviewer. She was the one that informed me of the abundance of applicants. I over heard the dean mention the new change regarding entrance to the program and the stack of applicants to my interviewer. My situation is that i work fulltime and i have a child so evenings are better but not really.lol Im in late 20's so i have comittements that require me to work inadditon to pursing my nursing career. For me its been a long time coming since i was only taking 1-2 classes a semester so i put in my application a little early and good thing cuz i needed to prepare myself and weigh my options. I want an associate program not a bacherlors at the moment but i will continue my education part time with assistance of the nursing union(NYMA). So i guess we will not meet but again i will post and i hope you and others will as well. Also, queensborough has a good program and queens college, and york is good as well n their campus is not as confusing as queensborough. But cuny is good and cheaper to start with or finish your education if your able to. But i did hear the 4-year colleges and the day programs are easier to get into since there more seats available and most people work during the day.

Hey guys,

I got accepted into the evening program and I'm coming from Queens. I wanted to switch it to the Saturday class because that would be more convenient for me. I was told I would have to wait for registration to see if anyone wants to switch with me. I hope so!
