Helene Fuld in Harlem is a good one but prepare yourself it is alot of work like any other program. I went at night and it wasn't bad at all. The parking is also better at night. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

what are the hours for the night program?

thisnurserockz · Jul 7, 2014

Yes, I am a graduate of Helene Fuld. The hours changed every semester but I remained an evening student through out the program. Some semesters I went in two evenings and every Saturday then it changed to three evenings and every Saturday. The evening classes usually began at 4:30-5:00 and ended at 9:00.

Did u continue to a RN to BSN program and if so did they accept all credits?

I am in the process of starting my RN to BSN online and they transferred in 90 credits, thankfully! Just so you know it is VERY IMPORTANT for you to go on for your BSN. A lot of employers are making that a requirement and those who aren't pay less. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help;)

Yes I have more if you don't mind and thank you for replying I really appreciate it all :-)

Being that credits were transferred does that mean the time for the program is shorter?

I never transferred credits before so I'm trying to have an understanding.

And for the Helene Fuld program is there a night program and if not are the times for the classes all over the place ? :-)

Yes Helene does have evening classes with some starting at 4:30 but most end by 9 pm. Once you sign on as a evening student its difficult to switch to days. They also have weekend clinicals from 8-4. In regards to transferring credits most online programs are quite generous in doing so. The time it takes for completion depends on you as the student and the credits you bring with you. Helene also has a RN to BS program, ask them for more details. I think right now they are taking 10% off each semester for incoming students. Good luck:up:
