  1. Aside from your ID you should bring anything that's changed between the time you apply and your interview date. For example, your most recent grades if you just finished with the school year. Finally, bring a positive attitude because you're almost t...
  2. Congrats to you! I knew you would get the call, just a matter of time is all. I got the Pell Grant and I think a bunch of loans from the FAFSA but was not eligible for the HESC. I'll take whatever I can get. Oh, and I'm still waiting for the financi...
  3. Good luck to all, especially to our original poster, NikkiJo. Thanks for starting this thread. It's nice to see how much it's grown since the early days. I completed my FAFSA and HESC a few days ago and am now waiting to see how much financial aid I...
  4. @stole238 I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this means that you must score in the 55th percentile or higher to be considered by the school. A percent composite of 44 is below the minimum requirement for PBISON admission. Call the school if you ...
  5. i'd say you have a decent chance at getting an interview. it also depends on your essay and letter of recommendations. generally people with high nln pax scores and high gpas get interviewed first, so be patient. good luck to you! here's the thing...
  6. Hard to say without knowing your GPA and whether you have any healthcare experience. Previous years' statistics indicate over 1000 applicants vying for about 150 spots.
  7. @ladynurse11 I kinda have my heart set on that school because of its awesome reputation and high NCLEX pass rate. Also I plan to become a NP so whether I get my BSN or ADN I will still have to continue my education for a few more years. @aspiring_nur...
  8. I received my acceptance letter today for the traditional program! Now I have to mail back the Student Data Form with a $200 deposit. Additionally I'll have to undergo a background check and drug screening process. I am thinking about switching to th...
  9. NLN Pre-RN/PAX Tips and Strategies

    Okay I haven't been checking this thread for awhile so apologies if I've made you wait. I did say I would try to answer all and any questions so here goes. @aspiring_nursing Yes 99 is the percentile that determines how you compare to other NLN PAX t...
  10. Newsworthy! "Ninety-seven percent of recent graduates of Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in Manhattan passed the RN licensing exam on their first try." http://news.nurse.com/article/20110307/NY02/103070005
  11. The interview is more like an intimate discussion of your life rather than a traditional question/answer sit-down. Questions that come up generally are of the strength and weaknesses types, roles of a nurse, your proudest accomplishments, etc. You ma...
  12. I'll try to answer your questions as best I can. You will receive your score approximately 10-14 days after taking your test. Remember that Beth Israel deadline for the application is April 1st, so you may have to submit the app first then send the s...
  13. Good luck to you guys! Come in here and vent or for moral support. I have some (good?) news for you all: Phillips Beth Israel is undergoing accreditation to become a college of nursing. What this means is that all the (non-core nursing) classes taken...
  14. Well since it appears that there are only two of us applying to the school I think your chances are pretty good. And yes, they do go through your academic history with a fine tooth comb. My interviewer also made every effort to make sure my classes ...
  15. During the interview I asked whether I would have to wait til June to know the committee's decision and the answer was "Oh God, no." The admission committee meets once or twice a month to decide the fates of the applicants who made it past the interv...
