Mount Sinai ABSN Summer 2020

[BSSB]

Hi all,

Has anyone applied to and/or gotten an admission decision from Mount Sinai PSON for the ABSN program starting Summer 2020?

Thanks!

[Jenny Lin]

@queenslimmm I got a few B+ and A for pre and overall GPA 3.8. I don't have any work experience with the medical filed.

Did anyone already pay the deposit?

Congratulations to everyone receiving their acceptances.

The tuition will be in the 54k to 60k ball park if things continue on trend (that shld include books, uniform).

Things are completely insane at school right now but with a new school location and additional staff being added, we are hopeful the fall will be a bit better. You have to be diligent in making sure you have all you need to succeed in a program like this (and that means focussing on school and not all of the 100 distractions swirling around). There are some great schools here but if you get into a school less than 60-70k total for a BSN, take it and hold you chin up. Many of us will likely return to school for advanced degrees and shld try to be as fiscally responsible as possible.

.. just my 2 cents. Take care!

Thank you for you the information!

Hey- So things are always subject to change but classes are during the week, mostly in the am.

Clinical days vary and are also in the AM.

Nursing school is intense so no matter what.. its a lot. Classes are manageable but we get a lot of work so you must work on time mgmt.

My experience has been very turbulent but.. so is life. It’s important that you find a balance in all things, make time for yourself and your health whether it be working out or spending sometime with family. I spend on avg at least 30-35 hrs a week studying. This will be your life. Find a good set of folks to study with and be good to each other. Best advice I cld give.

Are most of the clinicals in the Mount Sinai Hospital? I'm debating if I need to get a car or not.

Also thank you for the information!!

Yes, we had all Sinai sites. Bellevue may be in the cards for mental health but that’s still in Manhattan. No car needed.

Hello NYCBelle,

Thank you so much sharing the information! Could I ask how many hours/ days do you usually spend at the clinicals a week? Thanks!

had my interview this morning, not really overly pleased with how it went (could just be me being over critical)

Felt very rigid and formal compared to the other interviews I went on, also the questions were very generic

some questions:

what was an obstacle that you had to overcome and how did you complete it?

What made you want to become a nurse?

what is a problem that you needed to resolve in your previous jobs?

are you able to handle blood and guts well, do you think that you would be able to handle it throughout the day?

if you were interviewing for a nursing position and it was between you and another applicant why should they choose you?

it was about 20 minutes long and given through zoom, there were 3 interviewers

So, do you recall any other questions that they’ve asked you ? Have you received an acceptance yet ?

Has anyone else been interviewed via Zoom ?

It will vary-I don't want to mislead. You will likely not have clinical your first semester anyways. Look forward to a lot of lab to get you prepared!

These were the questions that they asked me. the whole thing took about 20 minutes.

No, I haven't received anything from them after the interview yet.
