Looking for programs in NY (Long Island/NYC) with bachelor degree in different major

Hi I'm looking for a little advice.
I graduated in Spring 2025 from stony brook university with a bachelors in psychology. All of 2025 I spent taking A&P 1 (currently completing A&P 2) and physics for healthcare careers because I applied to hunter business school sonography's program. I've always been interested in nursing but I have had some struggles in school early in my college career due to some other personal issues. I got Bs in both A&P 1 and physics. I was rejected by hunters ultrasound program unfortunately and I'm looking into other avenues. There is not many DMS programs on Long Island and I'm seeing there's not a lot of opportunity to grow in the career. I want to apply to nursing programs but I don't know if my grades are gonna cut it anywhere. I'm willing to commute up to 2 hours if necessary. My associates GPA from Suffolk community was 2.6, I got a 3.01 at SBU for my bachelors. If anyone has any recommendations for where I should look into applying or alternative routes I could take I would greatly appreciate it! thank you

    Hi! I would look into other CUNY/SUNY programs in the city; Hunter makes it almost impossible for most people to get in. Uunsure about what your budget is, but there are also private school options for an ABSN (Mount Sinai, Mount St.Vincent, LIU, NYU) these are just a few that come to mind. It's easier to get into a private school, it'll just cost significantly more. There are quite a few CUNY schools that offer an Associates in Nursing (Medgar Evers, Laguardia, BMCC); you can usually go back to the same school to do a bridge RN-BSN for about 1 year (it's usually fully online). Some people get their Associates, pass their NCLEX, become RNs, and once they have a job, their job sometimes will partially/fully cover the expense of returning to school to get the BSN. SUNY Downstate also has an ABSN program that is 15 months. Don't be discouraged! There are many avenues you can take to achieve your goals. Best of luck to you ?
