College of Staten Island (CSI) CUNY nursing 2020

[BUU]

Hello everyone,

Anyone applying for CSI nursing program? Does anyone know what admission looked like during Spring semester NLN score wise?
I am applying for Fall , I have decent GPA and A in all classes, but my NLN score is not the best.
Would appreciate any info on CSI nursing program.

Hi im applying! I applied last semester with a 3.2 GPA and only a 106 (51 percentile) on the nln and didn't get in :(. This semester I have a 3.5 and a 136 (92 percentile). My pre req grade is alright, 2 B's and 2 A's. Im keeping my fingers crossed, Good luck!

[BUU]

Oh that's a perfect score. I think you are good to go.

[nursinggg16]

Thank you, I hope so! Studying the sets you can buy from the website is what helps the most, there was a lot of the same questions.

[BUU]

That's what I did exactly. My problem was that I had no idea the the timing is going to be tough. I didn't have time to finish. The contents of the test is very basic.

[nursinggg16]

Yea the timing for the English section is terrible, I ran out of time the first time I took the nln. The second time I tried to pace myself better and still was in a rush

[BUU]

I mean it is insane to read 8 texts and 30 multiple choice in just 40 mins.

Cant wait until next Wednesday to know if I made it.

I know a girl that got in with 103 last semester, I don't know her GPA though. But since you didn't make it last semester with 106, I am a little confused as to how they make their selection, unless that girl had a very high GPA.

[nursinggg16]

Yea it confuses me too. I heard about someone with a 3.7 who didn't get in and tried 3 times IDK what the nln grade was. I also heard some people couldn't take the nln because nln didn't send them the proctoring info

[BUU]

One thing is clear when it comes to admissions there is nothing solid. And yes this semester was a disaster . I did the NLN online ant it was horrible. I was scheduled at 10am , could hardly start at 11am because my proctor was I don't know where.

And while changing from one reading to another I would have some 20 seconds of blank page until it loaded, although my connection was excellent.

[nursinggg16]

Same I never got a zoom link and customer service didn't answer the phone so I was emailing them for an hour before I could start the test. Before that I was told the night before my originally scheduled exam it had to be rescheduled. I had the problem too with the blank pages but mine lasted longer than 20 seconds. Did you receive a comfirmation when you sent your scores in? I didn't I want to make sure I sent it to the right email.

[BUU]

No they didn't confirm the receipt. I was concerned about that too. I ended up sending my score again )))) but no answer. I think They are not going to confirm.

And did you notice they changed the physical form too? I did it last month, and now I have to redo it, because it is slightly different.
