College of Staten Island (CSI) CUNY - How is the nursing program?

Published

Hello! I am currently a freshman at Binghamton University planning to transfer (Due to covid and financial reasons) into CSI for next semester for Spring 2021 and I am interested in their nursing program. I was thinking of Hunter or city tech but I heard Hunter is really competitive and city tech has a messy nursing program. So I was wondering how are the professors/ classes at csi? How supportive is the nursing program department?

They look at your GPA, prerequisites and admission test score, at your science classes.  I am not sure how many applicants they have , I am assuming around 800? I never heard of the lottery system.  I graduated from CSI yes. 

Congrats! How is your nursing career going? Would you recommend I apply to CSI over Hunter or Lehman, based on competitiveness?

I'd apply to all of them. All CUNY SUNY schools are very competitive because they are affordable, so I'd apply to all of them if the commute is okay for you.

The commute is okay, but I was planning on applying for CSI Macaulay. Macaulay only gives one campus to choose from, and if I don't get Macaulay, I was planning on going to Wagner or Binghamton.

Congrats, how is your career going? I'm a bit nervous about going to CSI for nursing because it's so competitive. Any advice?

Hi there,

CSI is VERY competitive . I am trying for Spring 2021 too. You need to have a very good GPA and a good score from NLN PAX RN.
 If you are looking for Supportive Professors you better go to WAGNER, which again is costly. 

hey im applying for the Spring 2025 semester. I have a 130 NLN (84th percentile) and should be ending with a 3.5 PRE REQ and 3.7 overall GPA. Do you think I have a good chance?
