Published

Hii every body. i just received a letter saying that i 'm accepted to the nursing program in college of mount saint vincent in ny:yeah: . However, i need human developemnt 2, economics, world literature class,religious studies, but i have 60 credits. The admissions told me that i can take this core classes along with the nursing classes. Also , they told me that i can start the clinicals only on fall 2011.I've finished all science classes. I 'm accepted to the fall 2010 program which basically means a year to do the clinicals. I can only graduate in 2013. Is that too long. Should i take this core classes any where else. I 'm confused abt gng to mount. Right now, i 'm studying in lehman college. How is the mount saint vincent nursing program overall and hw z the clinicals. How long does it take. How is the professors and all. Please expalin abt the nursing classes and all. Is clinical placements guranteed after u take nursing classes in mount saint vincent. Can some body help me by answering the questions.It would be very helpful for me to know. I want to know the procedures for the nursing program. I 'm happy as well as confused at this moment.:confused:

When I spoke to an admissions counselor on the phone last week she verified that the ABSN program is in the process of applying for accreditation, but it has not been approved yet. However, she pretty much implied that since the 4 yr program is accredited, the ABSN program will have no problem gaining accreditation, either... just that it was a matter of paperwork. She didn't have a timeframe though, and that was concerning.

Being as all that may I'd be more concerned about their NCLEX passing rate trending downward.

This is really helpful info, thanks everyone who commented! I am also applying for Spring 2013 ABSN admission, but it is hard to find out much info from their website and admissions staff.

Does anyone have more information about clinicals? What hospitals do they partner with and how many hours/week and which semesters do you do clinicals in?

Thanks for any help/advice!

I received conditional admission for the ABSN for the start of this current Fall semester but the seats filled up so I'm deferring my application to Spring 2013 as well!

As part of a four year university the nursing program at College of Mount Saint Vincent's is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) not NLNAC.

Specializes in surgical, geriatrics.

Sorry if this question has been asked before--in terms of pursuing a masters, is CCNE or NLNAC roughly the same or is one generally preferred. Is their ABSN also accredited (I heard rumors it has filed but is not yet approved).

Also, for those who have done the program, if you are missing prereqs do they offer them the summer before?

Hi all - Anyone at CMSV a current student, soon to be graduating, or already graduated? Would really appreciate any feedback on the program, pros/cons, value for education, job connections, etc.

ebinbrooklyn - I spoke with Ellen Lynch (graduate admissions counselor) and she said the ABSN was always accredited... former coordinator was giving misinformation to prospective students (I was at an open house when that was brought up since everyone was concerned about the program being legit).

Hi Vroom – did you end up applying to CoMSV? Did you get any other notable info from the open house? Do you know if the curriculum includes the summer? The next Manhattan info session is June 17th.

Just to reiterate what was said above, the school and degrees ARE accredited. I checked the CCNE website. As for the (very) low NCLEX passing rate – yes, that is discouraging. But still, my other option (so far) is a school that has a steadily declining pass rate and charges $1000+ per credit for a 62 credit program, i.e. greater debt for not much greater quality program.

Thank you for any input!

Hello pregunta - I'm in the process of applying to CMSV. I still have to satisfy one more prereq (chem, which I'm taking this summer) since the one I have has expired!

This is a collective look at the New York State RN NCLEX Results: 2008-2012

NYS Nursing:Nursing Programs:RN NCLEX Results: 2008-2012

I do I have a contact who's a student there now and I'm hoping to pick her brain real soon regarding the program's pros/cons. I'll post here if I have any news to report.

Hi! I was accepted into college of mount saint vincent ABSN program for the Fall. I called CCNE and they verified that their ABSN program is accredited. But now my question is, is their program approved by New York State. From what I understand a nursing program must be fully approved by NYS in order to sit for the NCLEX and for the state to grant you a RN license.

Do yourself a favor and do not even bother applying to this school. The professors (some, not all), as well as the director of the nursing department are unprofessional. They like to retaliate even if the concerns/complaints we have are legitimate.

Hi all. Has anyone been accepted to and started the ABSN program at CMSV? I am applying for Fall 2014.
