Hi there I withdrew fundamentals at CUNY(BMCC)  and it makes me one semester behind and going to take me two full years to get associate

my questions is should I stick to bmcc get associate and go to RN-BSN program (3 years ) approx or 

should I go to private (Long Island university ) to get BSN straight away which means I gotta take out loans I have no idea how loans works etc 

I want to take chapter route and also I wanna finish faster I don't know which one to do should I transfer or stick to bmcc help I am really depressed stressed and don't know what to do 

Hi there I withdrew fundamentals at CUNY(BMCC)  because I am about to fail I didn't do well on one of the exam and it really took my score down and once you fail fundamentals you are out of the program that why I withdrew 

and it makes me one semester behind and going to take me two full years to get associate

my questions is should I stick to bmcc get associate and go to RN-BSN program (3 years ) approx or 

should I go to private (Long Island university ) to get BSN straight away which means I gotta take out loans I have no idea how loans works etc I mean I don't really want to take out loans I know it is scary 

I want to take chapter route and also I wanna finish faster I don't know which one to do should I transfer or stick to bmcc help I am really depressed stressed and don't know what to do

If you cannot pass fundamentals, chances are high that nursing is not for you. Talk with your school counselor for alternatives.

Best wishes.

Hi don't be upset or depressed try to stay positive people have it much worse than U some are starving they witness murder and all types of horrible abusive things(if you are really depressed of course I can't tell u to just snap put of it that's a clinical condition) it's OK to be sad and upset but the quicker U take action to fix the reason that caused u to fail the test the better U will feel maybe u where working fulltime while u were taking fundamentals maybe u did not know how to Study To Retain The Information alot of people get into nursing school an they realize they can't study the day before the test like they did in high school these questions are not regular multiple choice questions there critical thinking questions some people do giod on written tests but they fail the clinical portion by a couple points so alot of things can cause failure millions of nursing students have failed nursing school more than once but they kept going they had to take ALL the nursing classes over and it took them longer to graduate but they never gave up some people fail the NCLEX 6 times and on the 7th time they finally pass U are not in school right now so u should be studying EVERYTHING about fundamentals if u need more practice with clinicals take a CNA class the next nurse classes like med surg and pharmacology are much harder then fundamentals so u should be studying those subjects before u start those classes u should stay in BMCC if u go to LIU it is way too expensive what if u don't pass 1 of the classes and then u just wasted 40 thousand dollars on 1 semster try BMCC again if u fail again then go to Nassau community college if u fail at Nassau u should try to do a LPN first an then later do a RN Program only go to a expensive private school if u have absolutely NO community college options I know someone who went to a 3yr Bachelors of nursing program she was about to graduate she had 2 classes left she failed a course but your only allowed to fail a course 1 time and in the past she had failed 1 course bc she got sick or something they kicked her out because thus was her 2nd time failing so she lost 60 thousand dollars now she's gonna try community College 

if u put in hard work soon U will be a RN inspiring other students who failed a test to keep going and never give up I belive YOU can do it you failing that test was not a loss it was A LESSON U need to make changes and prioritize  studying U can do it don't give up!

You should stick to BMCC and transfer to a BSN program .  Why go through the hassle of applying and starting all over If you have an opportunity right in front of you ?

Which program would you rather pick and choose? Which school has a  tutoring service that will help you pass fundamentals and graduate with little to no debt?

Only you can make that decision at this point.Make a list of the pros and cons to returning or are starting at LIU . You’ll be able to  base your decision on what you come up with. If you truly like nursing,  don’t worry about finishing early . Your focus should be on learning the material well .

I suggest the same thing

The Registered Nurses that I have spoken to that have completed there 2yr associate degrees at CUNY schools some have said that they have completed the Bachelors in nursing online in 1 year because the Bachelors portion is mostly classes about leadership an ethics and a computer technology in Healthcare class basically alot of writing essays so if u completed your RN at BMCC u can start working in 2yrs and u can complete the Bachelors portion online in a year if u want or u can go in person to class

 

Most nursing schools require students to get a grade of  70 in each nursing class or a grade In The seventies range in each nursing class LIU requires students to get a C+ in every. Nursing class which is equivalent to a 80 at LIU (every schools grading rubric is different) BMCC an Cuny school require u to get a grade in the seventies for each nursing class my sisters friend went to LIU and she received a grade of 70 in 1 of the the nursing classes so they kicked her out the program she transfered to york college where she received her BSN 2yrs ago and now works at Northwell Hospital 

 

LIU 16MTH Program is accelerated so it's fast pace the teachers don't have time to go over every little detail with students because there teaching a 4yr program in 16mths so you have to attend class everyday mon-fri which makes it hard to work because after class each day u need to study or else u will fall behind plus u will be exhausted from going to school 40hrs week an working at the hospital during clinicals in order to apply to LIU accelerated program u need to have a bachelors degree in any field to apply and u need an overall 3.3gpa u also need to receive 3.3 in EACH of these classes Anat 1& 2 Chemistry statistics an Microbiology in order to apply a 3.3 is equal to a 88- 90 grade so u need almost a 90 in each of these classes just to apply to the accelerated program ( even if u don't have a 90 in each class u can still apply because if they have available seats left and they don't have enough students that fit the requirement I'm sure they would be happy to admitt people to fill the seats an make money)

I understand you really want be finished and done with the BSN as fast as possible u seem like u really want to go to LIU so u should go give it a try if u really want to go there you have to choose whats best for you in the end if it doesn't work out at 1 school u can always start over and attend another school.

hi I just graduated from bmcc in may. there are few people who dropped fundamentals and returned, then graduated. my advice is to go back, the school is so cheap and you're already in. 4th semester was hell on earth for me but made. 3 people from my class have to repeat 4th semester in the fall and one of them is out for good because it was their second time repeating 4th semester and she also repeated fundamentals. but it doesnt mean you won't make it. go back to bmcc is my best advice, don't listen to anyone here who tells you that youre not cut for the nursing profession. there are literally few points between passing and failing, it's not that black and white

You can repeat and withdraw one time each. Fundamentals cannot be failed so you have to withdraw . For any other class , you have two chances .( one repeat and one withdrawal option )
