Hello! Has anyone on here applied for Fall 2025 Day Program at Montefiore School of Nursing in Mount Vernon, New York? I know that the deadline to apply has passed and the applications are being reviewed, does anyone happen to know how long it takes for the school to respond with an admission decision. Also is there any students on here who is currently attending Montefiore School of Nursing and can give any insight into the how the classes and clinicals are and what to expect?
Fruitnursing19 said:Fundamentals is the first class you will take, it is a lot of work/reading, so prepare to start reading as soon as they give you the list. The semester is broken into 3 components: Lecture, Lab, and Clinical. It's not the most organized imo but honestly I feel like every nursing school is slightly disorganized. Just make sure that you keep up with your work and no one else's. For lab you have a dosage calc exam like 3-4 weeks into the first semester. LMK if you have anymore questions
Hey again! Wanted to ask about the courseload - how many hours/week do you think you spent studying? Was it about the same each semester? What about your classmates? Are you in the evening or day program? Thanks again 🙂
Hi @chilly_penguin I'm currently in the Program! If you're not planning on working while in the program, I would recommend studying two to three hours a day outside of class time, if you're going to work a job during the program, study ALL DAY on your days off. We are at the end of this semester and it's getting very intense. We have challenging lectures exams every other week, group projects, skills validations for lab, and a lot of homework from Clinicals. This program is very demanding and time consuming. Start studying Dosage Calculations now! You have to get a 90 or higher on the math exam to stay in the program and You only get two attempts, if you don't pass the math exam after second attempt You get dismissed. This school is doable but it is honestly a lot, The Professors and Clinical Instructors are a great resource, if You seek help they are approachable and will go out of their way and work with You one on one if you're struggling. Keeping up with deadlines and time management is essential to make it through.
