Monroe College is a great school! You may enter directly into the nursing program without being on a waiting list like most colleges. The only prerequisites are algebra, biology, & chemistry and those are mostly completed in high school, if not then you will have to take them- Monroe does offer them. I think Monroe has an excellent nursing program, the classes are small and personalized, the professors really care about you and want you to succeed. Monroe also has a 98% pass rate on the boards (which is unheard of at most colleges)!! The admissions office holds nursing information sessions every Tuesday at 10:00am & 6:00pm, i highly recommend attending one.

Thank you very much for the information. I spoke to them and they said they have a class starting in September and the dead line in June. :eek: I hope I get in. Do you know if its hard to get into Monroe's LPN program? What exams do you need to take in order to get in? I forgot to ask the admissions lady.

Great nursing program. Very supportive faculty

Does anyone know where I could find a LPN/Nursing school in New York? I live in the Bronx and I am interested in becoming a LPN and later on become an RN. I heard about Monroe college in the bronx. Is that a good school? I also heard that you could take all your pre classes there too. How hard is it to get into in a community college for LPN?
I am also interested in Coshran school of Nursing. Is it a good school and is it hard to get in?
