First semester at CUNY SPS

[Birdsofprey, BSN]

Hi!

I am registering for classes for my first semester at CUNY SPS' RN to BSN online program, and they suggest taking only 2 classes the first semester. I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone here has any experience with the difficulty level of CUNY SPS and of its doable to take 3 classes instead of 2 if working full time. Any advice or info is much appreciated- thanks!

Hello, please I want to know if you ended up attending CUNY sps and how long did it take you to finish the program. As I assume their classes is 12weeks.

[Birdsofprey, BSN]

Yes I did- semesters are 15 weeks long aside from summer semester.

Some people finish the program in 3 semesters if they take more than 2 classes per semester and take summer classes. 2 of the classes involve clinicals though, and you cannot take both of those at the same time.

Thank you so much! Are clinical as hectic as ones we did in RN SCHOOL? What type of clinical is it? In hospital shadowing nurses? And long hours?

Hello @Birdsofprey! Just wondering whether you think 2 or 3 classes is more doable at SPS? I took one class this past semester but few like I could handle more. Is 3 overkill?

thank you!
