Hi, I want to know if there's any of you here who is currently a student or has been a student of Montefiore school of nursing (used to be Dorothea Hopfer school of nursing) in Mt. Vernon?? Can you tell me about the school's nursing program or maybe your personal experience in the program? And I live in queens, is the traveling going to be an issue 'coz I'm just taking the subway/metro north to get there.. do u happen to know if there are students from queens that goes to this school? Any response will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Yea I went to one in March. It was very informative. From class schedules to the financials. It's a small school. They only have 36-38 seats for Fall '14. I'm praying to b on 1 of those seats ???

Do you know how many seats they have for the spring of 2015?

Do you mind sharing what you found out for fall/spring? Schedules? Clinicals?

i think around 34 for evening spring '15. From what I recall: mon-tues 6-10pm, u can opt to do ur clinical on a wed or a saturday. but there will b a couple of wks out of the semester that they'll pull u to do a clinical on a weekday instead of a saturday.

Thank you. Is clinical Saturdays from 7-4 as I heard? Is that for the fall or spring? Do you happen to know how many people applied?

Yea I think it's for the spring, evening program (clinicals on sat during the day). But I think there's an option to do the clinical during the weekday. U should call to make sure.

They wouldn't reveal exactly how many ppl applied (I've asked) I read somewhere here (allnurses.com) that they invite about 75 ppl to take the TEAS but only accept 36-38 ppl.

I started the program Jan 2013 for the evening class. Unless they changed it which I doubt it, we have clinicals Saturdays not Wednesday! Weds. is for the day program not evening. Saturday 7-4pm at different locations. When I took the teas, there were about 200 people if I'm not mistaken and our class started with about 36 people. They are pretty fast with letting you know if you got accepted after everyone takes their teas. I got an email about a week after taking the teas, my teas date was the last date available. Within a week or so I receive the email to notify I was accepted and that I needed to secure admissions with a security deposit. I know it seems like a long wait but they try very hard to inform everyone as promptly as they can. Good Luck everyone!
