Concordia College (NY) ABSN Fall 2010

Published

Anyone applying to Concordia's program in Bronxville, NY for the fall? Haven't seen a thread for it yet!

Sincerest thanks to annod81 and fjl1105!! I am sooo very glad you posted something POSITIVE about this program!! After reading the post from saveyourself, I was shell-shocked and horrified!! I interviewed with Dean Apold about a month ago, and she was so pleasant and esay to converse with, and I could not wait to start classes this fall!!...and then I read the forementioned post...needless to say, I believed it, but remained hopeful at the same time. I really appreciate the vast amount of info from the both of you...greatly appreciated!:)

Thanks for all the positive input! I sent my deposit. I heard they already got the accreditation its just a lot of paper work that needs to be done. I wouldnt be worried about it.

My deposit is going out tomorrow. I am excited about the program. If I decide not to start Concordia in theFall, (due to personal reasons), I will attend FDU in May. Their program is a bit quicker (12 months).Therefore, I will "lose" four months. Anyway, I hope to see you in the fall!

Was she confident or very matter of fact. I do not have that warm fuzzy feeling.

Just an FYI. Someone posted this on a different thread who isn't following this one...

"One more thing in reference to the discussion about Concordia.. Granted I don't know anything about the nursing program, but I did grow up in the area and I will tell you that the school is located in a really nice, well-to do area and there is actually a major hospital VERY close, in Bronxville, called Lawrence Hospital. There are also many other nice hospitals and other kinds of medical facilities in Westchester, and the clientele/payor mix can be ideal compared to the city.. If psych is your thing, there's also some nice private psych places.. Just throwing that out there since there was a concern about finding a job in the area..."

I called CCNE to check on accreditation. According to the person I spoke to, no official decision will be made until the Board meets at the end of this week. Furthermore, this information will not be made "public" until the following month. I am not sure as to why April 20th was given as the date to find out the decision. I am still nervous and would like to know either way.
