Greetings, I just finish applying to Montefiore School Nursing for the Spring 2019. Is there any one else also looking to attend in 2019? I'd love to hear from you.

Everything went well lol A lot of reading, exams, the expected usual. It got very tough at the end because between lecture, lab, and finals, there were about 4-5 exams in one month, a group presentation, and other assignments due. I don't think anyone slept that month but it's over and now onto N2... lol

4-5 exams in one month? Ouch! Glad you guys pulled through. Enjoy the summer lol

How did you prepare for exams? What worked for you?

Thanks! lol I did problems nonstop and read the rationales on The Point which is the online platform that comes with the access code of the book. It helps train your mind on how to break down the questions and what they're really asking. The concepts are not hard to grasp, it's the way the questions are worded that makes it tricky. It's a lot to memorize.

Do you feel like the questions on the exams were strictly on the textbook material? Studying strictly from the Powerpoint slides wouldn't suffice, right?

Most of the questions come from the fundamentals book and a few (very few) come from lectures. There's two main books, the fundamentals and pharmacology books. There's also questions from the pharmacology book. The slides are ok but DEFINITELY should not be your primary source of studying lol I know in other science classes you can get away with just studying slides but not in nursing lol There's way too much content to fit into those slides.

Gotcha! So, Nursing 1 consists of Fundamentals of Nursing, Pharm and Med Surg 1?

No, just fundamentals and Pharmacology. Med Surg 1 is N2

If you have all your pre-reqs completed, do you still go to class every day?

You wouldn’t recommend what exactly. The Concordia? Or taking prerequisites at a community and then transferring to monte? Do I need Chemistry and lab to enter monte? Because ainsaw I can take a CLEP exam in chemistry but no lab so I was thinking going that route too. I don’t get why this *** is so difficult. Lol. I’m trying to figure out away to do something with my time while I’m pregnant and fat so when I start something I’m a little ahead. I am a pharmacy technician so I have some knowledge on certain things, I feel could be helpful when taking my pre reqs just don’t know what’s the smartest route.

I meant I wouldn't recommend starting the nursing program without taking those science courses first. Trying to learn A&P while taking a nursing class is torturous if you ask me lol Before you register for any class, I would run it by Monte first to see if they'll accept it. I know someone who had to retake Micro because their class was 3 credits and Monte requires Micro with lab (4 credits). Same with chem, they want the lab with it.

Hey guys. I keep getting told that Montefiore School of Nursing NOT ACCREDITED. My research validated this claim. Anyone turn a different page from this notion ? Would like to invite everyone to check. Remember this is our future guys. I have went to an unaccredited school in the past, ITT Tech. Wish someone had told me to do better research. Good luck to all.

Not sure where you received your information from or where you did your research but Montefiore is accredited by ACEN. You can go directly to the ACEN site and check. http://www.acenursing.us
