Who knows?? I mean the school is legit. It is not like it isn’t. Perhaps they are busier in the Fall or want more admissions for this Spring. What I don’t get is that the Spring semester has already begun. Today is my first day of class. FYI, I applied for NYU some time ago and wasn’t accepted. It could be because I didn’t have all the classes required but since I applied to LIU and decided to stick with it. I do live in Brooklyn and also work full time for the City in Brooklyn so I figured the convenience would work better for me. LIU’s administration is horrific but remember.. ultimately our goal is to become a Nurse!! Their success rate with the NCLEX and Professors might make up for it. Crossing fingers and toes!!

Sorry for late the late reply! Yes the administration thus far has not been great but I stayed on top of them and got what I needed done through going to enrollment services in person. When I registered for my classes, I did the same thing before school started I showed up and sat with a counselor.

Since starting the program, I have heard that the professors are overall very good and willing to help when needed. & Yes the NCLEX pass rate is high and I think this is because they teach and give exams NCLEX style!

Sure thing!! My pathophysiology Professor was already throwing NCLEX questions at us and said you’re going to think like a nurse. This isn’t memorizing; this is critical thinking..

Recent LIU BSN graduate (May) and I stumbled on your post. You are all correct in figuring out administration sucks. Please, please, PLEASE do your own legwork and do not rely on staff.. Keep paper trail, and copies, of everything you discuss and hand in. Do not be discouraged with this new style of questioning. 1st level is definitely the hardest due to having to adjust to this new way of thinking... but the questions from LIU are definitely harder than the NCLEX questions themselves. Work with your cohort, help each other out, and you'll all do fine. Best of luck, nurselings. ❤️

Hello, are you still having a good experience at LIU? How big is the ABSN cohort? I have been accepted and am currently deciding whether or not to go there or Phillips at Mt. Sinai. People complain about the administration at both schools, so I get that. But is the academic experience good? How are clinicals, or were they cancelled?

I’m going to be frank. I’d apply to another nursing program at another school!! I’m trying steer you away and avoid the nightmare I went through with that school. Spring 2020 was my first semester and even before Covid-19 hit, my experiences were horrible with the school’s administration and so-called Professors. If I explained, this post would go on forever. I my self am now thinking of a plan B because I just don’t want to continue there. I just don’t know what route to take now that I starred there so if anyone has any advise, I’m up for anything. I will just say to you again I recommend attending another school. They will reel you in and leave you high and dry to deal with the nightmare of getting through their program!!

Spring 2020 was my first semester. When Covid hit, I ended up withdrawing from all but one class (got a B-) but even before Covid-19 hit, my experiences were horrible with the school’s administration and so-called Professors. If I explained in detail, this post would go on forever. I my self am now thinking of a plan B because I just don’t want to continue there.

did you check rate my professor before picking a teacher? and I don't really have a choice right now since this was the only school I applied to and its closer to me than any other school, I went to the admissions day tour and the nursing building looked really good to me

mepraytobecomeanurse · Jul 2, 2020

The area is lively and the buildings are real nice, I agree. I also live close by which is why I applied there. I’m a hop skip and a jump away from the train station and a short train ride away. Of course I know of RMP. I am a student for many years (soon to be 53 years old). I know all about it but there is such a high turnover of not only administrations but also professors. It is hard to even make a decision. Plus, they don’t post the Professors until the very last minute so you don’t even know which Professor you’ll get till the day before if you’re lucky. That can be a bad thing when there are very few Professors with a good reputation in that school. They have one professor in each department who write the exams. They are not like exams you’ll be use to and that your Professor would make up. One Professor writes the exams for the other professors not knowing what lesson they went over or didn’t go over. The questions (as someone else stated) are not regular questions that you might be use to and would get on a normal exam. They’re all NCLEX style questions that you won’t be prepared for regardless of how many times you review your notes. I don’t think it would be a bad thing, in fact it would be a good thing if they only prepared you for it. You will be blind sided when you take the exams. The questions are nothing that you’d expect. I don’t know if other schools do their exams this way but this school sure does!! I had only one Professor that actually taught his lessons. The others just do PP slides. I had one Professor that I was actually surprised she was even a Professor never mind a Nurse.

Good luck!

Hey all. I am beginning my first semester as a nursing student in February. I just wanted to know if there are any PDFs out there of the textbooks for Informatics, Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, Health Assessment, and Contemporary topics, or if the textbooks are even helpful for the course at all. There are a lot of textbooks and access codes required and it is going to be super expensive. Just trying to find the cheapest options for myself. Thanks!
