Montefiore school of nursing jan 2017

Published

Hello everyone I am applying to montefiore for the Jan 2017. Is there anyone in the process of applying?

Congrats to everyone who got accepted for the Fall 2017 semester. I just completed Nursing 3 and am on my way to Nursing 4. Get ready to buckle down because this sure is going to be a very emotional, difficult and humbling ride. I am here if you have any questions.

Hello Cangilbar! I am planning on applying to Montefiore and I would like to know what your experience was like? Are the nursing classes hard? I have 3 small kids and am worried to get stressed out! Also, what is the day schedule like? I read that the evening schedule is tuesday and wednesday 6-10 pm and saturday 7-4 for clinicals. Are the professors good? Do they help you pass? I have been out of high school for more than 10 years and am taking the prerequisites at a SUNY now. I am considering applying for the fall or spring of 2018. Any additional tips? Thanks in advance!

The day schedule is 3 days per week: 1 day of lecture and another with lecture and lab, and 1 day of clinical. Lab is taught in 2 sections one from 8-10am before lecture and the other from 1-3 which is after lecture. Clinical was on Wednesday during nursing 1&2 from 7-4 then it was broken up into two groups of either Monday or Wednesday for nursing 3, and on Monday for Nursing 4.

In terms of your individual experience each semester that will vary. Nursing 1 was exciting for me and it was amazing having a nurturing professor who was tough but fair. Nursing two was a nightmare for me not because of the material but because of the learning environment; this is said to be the real test in terms of material but I can assure you it is not. Nursing 3 was a breeze even though we had a new psych instructor which made for a strange mood haha. Nursing 4 is the real test getting here without failing any classes is difficult but getting through it will be even harder. The professor is amazing but writes her own exams which are unlike anything you've ever seen. Clinical was fine. They implemented a new rule that resulted in some people getting preceptorships while others did regular clinical all semester, yes people who had failed and were repeating the class got preceptoships while people who had never failed a class did not because you only get a preceptorship if you're passing after two tests.

Overall, I would say to only go here if you have no other options as some instructors/staff can be very unprofessional and they change things at random that majorly affect students with very little consideration for students. It just isn't worth the nonsense that often occurs if you have other options. That being said I went, learned a lot and graduated so if you do end up here just work hard and make sure you fight for what you know you deserve as a student. You will get a solid nursing education, shed some tears, be incredulous at times at the way some things work, maybe make some friends, and in the end you will get your degree if you work hard. That's my honest review by others had very different experiences.

Hi everyone,

I'm almost done with Nursing 1 and was wondering if anyone can send me a copy of the Nursing 2 syllabus. I would really appreciate it. I would like to get a head start this summer.

I don't have a copy of the syllabus so surely you'll get a more detailed answer eventually but I can tell you that breaking out your Brunner and Suddarth and starting on fluid and electrolytes will take you far, then move on to renal and GI
