Has anyone heard back from any nursing schools Long Island/NYC area?

Hey, I am from NYC and will be applying to a few schools here. If you don't mind me asking, which schools did you apply to?

Hi,

I applied to Molloy, Adelphi, Hunter, Touro, LIU, St. Joseph's, and NYIT. Where did you apply?

FutureNurseInfo · Dec 23, 2016

Wow, that is a long list. I did not apply...yet. I still have a few more pre-reqs to complete. I originally considered Hunter (I am at Hunter right now taking the pre-reqs), but I hate that it requires stupid genetics course as a requirement. I originally was taking it this fall semester but three weeks into the course I had to drop it due to the atrocious teaching. Therefore, Hunter is out of the running. I have some other schools in view. I am thinking of private schools but OMG the tuition rates are sky-high. Can I ask you something else? How do you hope to pay for your tuition?

Most of the schools I applied to didn't require too many pre-reqs, some even required none. Yes the tuition rates are insane! I was planning on financial aid/taking out loans.

So, do you recall taking genome biology (a pre-req for Hunter)? How was your experience? I just hate the fact that I will not be able to apply to Hunter due to this course.

No, I never took that course. Exactly which program at Hunter are you referring to? I already have a BS from another undergraduate school so I applied to Hunter's BS in Nursing and Advanced Second Degree Nursing program

FutureNurseInfo · Dec 24, 2016

Yes, I will be applying to Hunter's Accelerated BSN. It does require a genetics course.
