Creating this thread for Fall 2024 applicants! 

For those who applied and got into PSON, did you have any patient care experience?

I did but there are some people in the program that didn't.

Hi @Futurenurse0510 Thank you for this response. It gives me some hope.

Hi All! For those currently in the PSON ABSN program, can you please share how many courses you had to take in the first semster alone? I'm asking because I got accepted and I do not have pharmacology and pathophhsiology. I'm trying to see if it's doable to take those in the first semester. Thank you.

You'll be taking five classes in total: Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, Introduction to the Nursing Profession (fundamentals), Health Assessment with lab, and Basic Skills Lab. I have two friends currently taking all five classes. One says it's manageable, and she even works 10-15 hours a week, but stresses that strong time management is key. The other says, "Oh, you poor thing. It's draining—back-to-back exams every week. Good luck, bro." Hope that gives you a better idea!

Thank you for sharing this! Can I ask for those in the program, what is it like? Do professors prepare students well enough for exams?

I made a FB group! It's called Mount Sinai PSON Accelerated Nursing Fall 2024 Accepted Students

Hi Danielle Butz May I ask what the deferral process was like? I am leaning toward deferring till the Summer 2025. I have few things to put together at home before starting so I can give it 100%.

Hi all! I'm applying to the Summer 2026 or fall 2026 cohort for ABSN at Mount Sinai. I would love any application tips from people who have gotten accepted! (about pre-reqs, what grades you had, etc), currently stressing about getting all A's in my pre-reqs but maybe I'm overshooting? would love any advice on their apps 🙂

@Rabiya Oberoi Hi Rabiya, maintain As in the prerequisite courses if you intend to apply for scholarships (especially the ones PSON offers). However, Bs can also get you admitted into the program, with a well written personal statement/essay. 

Personally, I made all As in the prereqs, and skipped the admission interviews as a result. 

Goodluck with your application, you will get accepted.
