Im so worried! I took my hesi today and my over all grade is 88! I study for anatomy for almost a month and i only got 76. I passed it by a point. this is annoying! but my math and reading was high which pulled me up to a 88. i think 88 in not enough to guarante my acceptance also my gpa! my prereq gpa is 3.8 and my cumulative gpa 3.6. Im applying for the generic program. Im really nervous!Anyone from the program already knows if my grades are enough in order to get into the program? It is killing me! anyone else applied??

Thanks starvingrtist. I contacted cuny admissions via email and they said I do not need high school records since I have degree. I do however still need to submit paper transcripts from Brooklyn because I graduated over 10 years ago so I will have to request transcripts from there and the other schools I took courses from over the years. Thanks again

You mean transcripts from your previous colleges? That shouldn't be hard since most schools now accept the transcript ordering online. Hopefully your old schools have that system too.

Hey Everyone, long time no speak...

Now.. What's up with this Nursing department?? I need to let my job know my school schedule as early as possible :madface: Very deep sigh...

I don't think we are going to find out anytime soon.

Somewhere down the line I think I read that the person in charge of the clinical scheduling is on vacation until August. Since clinical hours take priority because Lehman doesn't own the hospitals, classes have to work around the clinical hours. In short we are going to have to wait until all clinical schedules are finalized before we can register for classes....

BTW I just got my scrub top from Dove in the mail today. Seems pretty high quality, worth the money we paid (although I still feel the pain of paying close to $60...). Waiting for my next paycheck to get a 2nd one as spare...

Hey everyone, I got a question:

Has anyone completed the physicals? I'm about to make an appointment with my doctor but I was just wondering how long was the process. For example, how long was the wait for the result of the tests (if any)?

I hope I can get it done in time...

@StarvingRtist..I have completed mine. The results didn't take long..The results for the urine and blood tests came after 3 days..

Thanks Styliah26,

I just made an appointment with my doctor for July 30th, hopefully everything will be done before the orientation.

Did anyone finish the physicals? What did your doctor do with the vaccination history? I'm sure not everyone has a doctor who kept all the records. I plan to get my immunization history from school for the vaccines that my doctor doesn't know about. Hopefully nursing dept will take combined history from school and my doctor...

I'm going to talk to the nursing dept on Monday or Tuesday in case anyone is wondering the same. I'll post my findings after that.

Hi everyone,

I spent quite some time on campus today to figure a few things out. This might be important to some of you.

1. The permission to register and clinical assignment were emailed out a few days ago. If you haven't gotten anything, contact nursing department right away because there has been an issue with the email system.

2. If you have already gotten permission to register for classes, and you're in accelerated program, then you would have trouble to register NUR330(pharmacology for nursing). NO ONE could register for the class until this afternoon due to a system issue. I was the first person to register after they realized the problem. They are fixing the problem on an individual basis, so you may have to wait until tomorrow to register for that class. If you still can't register by tomorrow then I suggest you call the nursing department. They may have problems picking up the phones due to the staff shortage, but I did see them picking up the phone calls as much as they could. Keep trying.

3. On our health clearance forms... I was told that even if you have received vaccinations, "titre" is still required for everything except the first item on the list (it is grayed out). Hospitals don't care if you have had the vaccines before, they want to know if you are still immune.

That's all I got for now. Time to move onto the next item on the business... financial aid! I couldn't apply for anything because I didn't register any course until now...

Thanks for the info, StarvingRtist! Did anyone have trouble registering for 301? I couldn't find the code the department provided on Cunyfirst (83897??).

Glowinthdark, have you registered for 301 yet? I entered the code 83897 in the shopping cart and it seemed to work. And if I search from the list of courses it does not appear. Have you tried to enter the code in the shopping cart yet?

Enter the code in the search button of your shopping cart and you should be fine. I had the same problem of not finding the class in the list of courses displayed under nursing 301. Hope this helps....

Hi Guys,

Hope everyone is doing awesome? Please does anyone have an idea how much tuition is for the entire accelerated program? Also as second degree applicants are we eligible for financial aid? I once applied for a financial aid and I was told I was ineligible because I already have a degree, however that was in Hunter college and since Lehman is part of CUNY I am assuming similar response. Could I be wrong with Lehman college? Thanks all!

ABC15, you are always eligible for financial aid as long as you are financially eligible according to the FAFSA calculation, even if you are a 2nd degree student. The only difference is what types of aid you can qualify. I have already exhausted all the grants for my first degree, so the only aid I qualify for my 2nd degree is student loans. It's totally worth it because it enables us to focus on studies instead of working on top of our crazy schedules. Keep it in mind that if you apply now the loans won't be disbursed until maybe October, since most students applied back in April. At least school will not drop your courses as long as they know that you have applied for loans. (P.S. you can still get grants as 2nd degree student if you haven't exhausted the whole amount during your first degree)

As for the cost for the accelerated program... we have to approximate that since we have no idea how much the books will cost. We have to assume that it's a lot; for Fall alone we will need more than 10 books! As for the tuition, we gotta pay for Fall (15 credits), Spring (18 credits), Winter (3 to 6 credits) and 2 sessions of Summer (12 credits). That's roughly $3200 X 2 + $1700 + $3200 = $11,300. You also have to add another 10% for the fees and tuition increase just to be safe.

Basically... it costs a lot more than most people's one year tuition at CUNY, BUT less than most people's two years' tuition. Since we get it done in one year, it's a great deal; we get to work 1 year more and pay one year less of tuition. That's a gain of almost $100,000!
