Congrats Missdiorcherie! Since you did really well on the cnet, the TABE should be a piece of cake =)

@ kat2: I believe the prep class is a review class to help you improve in your area of weakness before you take the TABE exam. Please read the earlier post from past lpn students, it'll give you a better insight. If I were you i'd continue to hound them, they'll eventually pick up. Don't give up =)

Hi,

I passed the CNET test and the TABE test. I am waiting for my doctor to fill out the physical exam. The school of nursing is close this week for the holiday. Try to call them back next week. I am going to submit my application next week. How is the interview like and what about the essay?

Thanks

Thank you so much Poettree and Paulaf, and yes I won't give up =)

Thanks Poettree!

Can anyone tell me what the physical exam is like? Did they just ask for updated immunizations only or was blood work and urine sample also needed. Just trying to find out how much this will cost me. Thanks!

The physical form that you must submit with your application requires the basics: 1 PPD, your titers, hepatitis shots, vitals, height weight. They want the form stamped and filled out by a doctor. You may want to ask for copies of your physical and immunization records and get the hospital to stamp those just in case. My titers were from 2006 but they said it was acceptable but that I would have to redo them before clinicals. I'm not sure if thats an indication that I'm accepted or not...I hope so though! haha.

Thanks again for the info Poettree! Im on it asap.

Hi Poettree,

I finally got to hand in my packet yesterday. I tried last week but they were on Spring Break. I also did the writing sample but no interviews were done. They said they will call when ready. I think that was because the main person responsible is not back yet. So I am waiting. I will give them a week tops and start hollering at them if I don't hear anything.

I wonder when they will start sending out acceptance letters? I know two people from a few years ago who never got their letters and had to turn up at Mid Manhattan at the start of school to find out what was up. And, of course, they were on the list and started that day. Just shows you have to be proactive and not fall through any cracks.

Hey!

That;s great that you handed in your application already--takes most of the pressure off. Now we just need to wait and hope for the best. As for the acceptance letters, the director of the program told me to wait till June because that's when they begin mailing them out. I feel that makes sense being that the last exams were just administered last week. She also said that applications are not rejected or denied based on when they are received. They are evaluated once the application pool is complete. I am going to wait till mid-June before calling them otherwise I'm sure they'll tell me to call me back.

What the director told you makes sense and is only fair. Thanks for sharing. Once my interview is done I will join the anxiously waiting queue. Let's keep in touch.

poettree · Apr 29, 2011

They told you you have to come back for an interview? The interview is very informal...i wasn't asked about why i wanted to do nursing or anything pertaining to the program itself since all that info was already in my essay. It was more to find out if you have working experience in the health field in order to see if you qualify for sponsorship.

I don't know but I was expecting to be interviewed, but all she did was check my packet and have me do the writing sample. So I asked about the interview and she said she cannot say because Dr. (Can't remember the name) needs to review my packet, look at the titers etc and then they will contact me re the interview. So I concluded that they weren't yet back to normal operations from the holiday and so wasn't doing any same day interviews. Others who completed their essays left as well.

Hi,

I passed the CNET test with a percentile of 92%

Reading 33/40

math 50/50

Language ability 57/60

I got the perfect scores of 12.9 for the TABE test. I submitted my application on Tuesday. The very kind lady who took my package told me that Dr. (I cannot remember her name) will review the package and call me for the interview. I had to write a three-paragraph essay on why I would like to be a nurse.

I went to the American Heart Association for the CPR. I registered for May 13. I hope they will call me soon. I asked to be enrolled on the Brooklyn Campus as it is only two blocks away from where I live.

Good luck to all of you. I hope all of us will be accepted!
