Requirements for Entrance into the Bachelor of Science Program in Nursing for Registered Nurses (Licensed in New York State)
I sat in on one of their information sessions once and from what I understood as long as you have your RN license you can pretty much register and are accepted into the program. I believe that the competitive tracks of these CUNY nursing programs are in the generic bsn and accelerated programs.
Their website is so vague. I've tried calling but just VMs. How did you find out about their info sessions ?

The info sessions are supposedly on the nursing websites but they're not, I got info by first showing up to the admin office in the nursing building and I just asked the lady there,nand noted that they had the info sessions on a pin board inside the office. Was annoying to waste a day doing that. I then returned, a good day used to be Tuesday mornings they had the head of nursing doing info sessions. I'm not sure about summer semester though, maybe be worth a try showing up then, from 9 am onwards, you have to go to office and sign your name on a list, then it's first come first served.. I waited a while but she moved through people pretty quickly. However., I was waiting for her to actually just show up to the building to start going through the people on the list. I got the impression it is pretty simple to get on the RN to BSN program. I'm an older student but I'm still doing prerequisites for the generic program. As long as you're not educated overseas it should be pretty simple to be admitted to Lehman college also, they do general admissions right through until Sept for people educated here.
Thank you ! I'm finishing my rn AAS in nov and wanted to start their spring program . I'm def going to take a trip there .
