Long Island College Hospital School of Nursing

(thanks for the posts whoever did it, I didn't bother putting anything on there since most school facebook pages tend to remove posts... the whole hush hush and whatnot... I'm surprised the Dean responded so quickly.)

@MrsComboCurlz, Thanks for the initial facebook page link.

@Everyone; I will continue keeping track of this thread, please keep posting your comments, thoughts etc. There's still hope for us, even though I feel as if it may be a small chance that good will come out of this... is there some kind of way we can voice our opinion on this? Especially for those who may have to delay their lives a little longer.

hi all,

here is a thought for the brain. Just found out that my mother's friend was involved with a very similar experience and by writing a complaint letter from many people who applied over and over actually got some positive results. The school actually under pressure from a lot of people actually worked it out and opened the class that they were suppose to close. So maybe thats what we should do. POWER IN NUMBERS. if i just complain no one will bother but if we all complain in written or in person or both it will make a difference. After all, LICH did a number on us. Never mind the money, the waiting that they all put us through just to tell us couple of month before semester should start oops no more Fall is ridiculous. Because LICH failed to notify anyone of this happening it is way too late to apply to any other school for fall. It is LICH fault and they should be held accountable. Because of them we cant get into LICH or any other school in Fall because it is way too late to apply. By the way, we are still not officially notified even though it is happening for sure. So lets form together and fight this. It worked in my mother's friend case it might work here. What you guys think

I TOTALLY agree with you OdessaBoy...there is 'POWER IN NUMBERS"...if were willing to rant on here , let's see how much our rant is worth. We need to sign a petition OR even write individualized letters, or keep CALLING till they wanna pull the phones OUT THE WALL....OR even report it to the local Brooklyn News station CH12 to get some kind of coverage (I may NOT have the brightest of ideas on how to go about this but WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME) The school should @ Least admit a class for Fall 2011 and think about freezing nxt years class while the seams are worked out...we've been halted and put through enough at this point. It's not fair...anything in life WORTH having has to be fought for....OR they'll feel that "we don't care" or this circumstance wasn't a bother!!! They should be shown that they can't do this...

You should try monroe college. They have an rn program but you have to get into the lpn program to advance into the rn program. I applied there as well and they re still accepting applications. Monroe.edu. there are other options as well. Like cuny. Like hostos and bronx community college which take students twice a year but it might be too late to apply. That cuny for you. Plus you would not start right away. You would have to wait the following semester to see if you got in their program. The other schools that u mention beth israel an i forgot the other. I believe its too late

Make sure when you are applying to Monroe and handing in your documents to print out your Teas scores. Make sure let them know that you have already have taken the TEAS because they would try to set you up to take the Exam

I was just thinking about what someone said about “POWER IN NUMBERS”. I believe that it would be a good idea for everyone to write to these individuals who have a big impact on the merger and explain to them how we feel about their decision. I think everyone should all write these letter and send them out by Monday. Let me know what you guys think.

I don't think a merger such a bad thing.

In our case, the freeze of application process Is.

I wonder, if it is a custom to slow down or stop the usual activities of a any business that goes through the merger process ? What if it wasn't Lich and Downstate but some accounting firms... would they stop their services? Just wondering....

I think is is a good idea to put our thoughts in writing, how it effected us. For instance, i can not recover money i spent on evaluation, translation of my documents, ask my professors for another recommendation letter now, in order for me to apply in other school( they live abroad; effort, time and nerves spent on this application process.

The school better come up with solid explanation for Fall 2011 class cancellation reason and don't blame it on merger. My anger is rising up!
