Mount Sinai ABSN Summer 2020

Published

Hi all,

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

Thanks!

Just received my acceptance by email yesterday! I applied last month for Fall and wasn’t asked to do an interview.

everyone who has heard back already... did you apply for Summer or fall? do you think the fall applicants are at a disadvantage now?

I am submitting my application in tomorrow but I am nervous because I am currently enrolled in two pre requisite classes (ethics and nutrition) so my application is not "complete".

I was thinking Fall was at a disadvantage and not sure how they went about it, but I hoped that they tried to accept an even number of people from Summer and Fall to make it fair? I don’t think we will really know though. And you don’t need to worry about your prereqs not being done, they just need to be complete by July 1st

Sure!

I find my experience with the school very fair and manageable. I understand that frustration sometimes kicks in when students don’t have the time to see a professor after lecture due to train schedules, family demands back home, and study time. However, if you follow the professor's advice in getting your readings and assignments done prior to lecture, and doing practice questions afterwards, then things will be okay! It's very critical and important that you follow the professor's advice (on how to study, how to pass the course) since they have once been in our shoes before, plus they have more nursing experience compared to us novice nursing students. At the end of it all, it's what you make out of it that will enable you to either like or dislike the program. The more you invest towards your studies (the smart way), the more you reap the benefits.

My best tip and advise is to follow your own guts and intuition regarding whether the program is the best fit for you. Also, you should weigh both the pros and cons and have a few people give their insights about the program before making a huge decision. It's one of those life-decisions that you shouldn't take lightly since it's a huge investment and time! Do not allow the decisions of others to be a determining factor in your decision process. It's all about intuition at the end. What works for one individual might not work for someone else. No institution is perfect. Each has its own pros and cons. It's what you make out of it at the end of it all. Do not be shy or afraid to talk or make new friends, even during school visiting hours or when attending orientation on the first week of school. Have at least 1 or 2 close friends you can study with or even vent to in regards to life crisis or circumstances. We are all in the same boat! Last, please, avoid any unnecessary drama that has NOTHING to do with you! Sometimes, being an active listener is enough to group you in being part of the drama. It's best to be inattentive and simply change the topic, or best, walk away. It's very funny how many times I've seen a group talking about a professor negatively, and then the professor happens to walk by them.

Also, my advice is delay gratification! You need to sacrifice a lot just to do at least minimally well in the nursing program. It's very challenging. So, you have to choose which one is more important: going out with friends to party or going out to study? Whichever decision you choose while in the program will surely reflect on you towards the end of the semester!

Please hydrate, sleep well, and study! Have a good time schedule! Be disciplined! Let your family and friends know in advance that you will be busy with studies, assignments, etc. Attempt to make library your new home if home is a busy, constant place for distractors.

To close, I find my experience with the school an 8 out of 10. I would consider this the most fairest program out of any institution I know of. But, there has been improvements compared to the first semester.

Also, if you have a job, you have to ask yourself, which is more important: getting paid or aiming at getting As? Sure, some have successfully balance both, but not everyone can do it! It's important to evaluate what works best for you. Remember, your aim is to line yourself up for success, not failure.

Please-Please inbox me or let me know if you have any additional questions, worries, or concerns. Take care and keep safe!

Thank you so much for this! @lovelyflower21 Were any of your classes affected by COVID? And good luck for the rest of the program

hi, does anyone know if PSON offers housing for ABSN students?

Has the school already moved to the Harlem location, or is that coming up? I already paid a deposit at another school, but am having second thoughts and wanting to learn as much as I can about what's currently going on at PSON. I'm leery about big new school changes happening while NYC is also in the grips of pandemic craziness that's going to be throwing everything off for a long time.

I toured the school about 2 yrs ago and thought it seemed warm and friendly, and a nice alternative to bigger, more expensive programs. I also thought Mario Gallo was lovely, but apparently she's left.

The Mt. Sinai name is not looking awesome to me either considering they are associated with nurses having to wear garbage bags for PPE -- but I assume this has been happening a lot of places.

I was accepted today which was shocking . I grew up/ live in East Harlem and would love to serve my community. But with what I heard in the news , comments on the forum and feedback from my friend who is a NP there ... I’m not sure what to do. The new building is walking distance away from me so that work perfectly. I was also accepted to Pace and CMSV and waiting to hear from NYU.

Anyone else trying to decide between Pace and PSON?

Hi everyone. I'm sending my Reply form today.

Does anyone take Pathophysiology or Pharmacology before entering the Nursing Program? I heard someone said it's better to take it. I'm thinking if
