Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing (PSON) ABSN - Spring 2026

Published

UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

hi all! I didn't see a thread started on here yet for Spring 2026 so I thought I'd start one. Has anyone committed to this program yet?

How's the workload? Do you feel confident you'll remember all the information from pharm until classes start?

Honestly I'm fighting for my life 🤣 but I am doing it.I already formed a consistent study habit and schedule.I make study note on each module which I study before taking the exam. So I plan to continue studying those notes even after the entire course along with some study guides I ordered long ago on etsy. I also watch some YouTube videos as well for practice questions and other info. It's intense but I had to do it.I didn't wanna take pharm but I had to because someone in the program told me the first semester can be very challenging due to trying to adjust to all the new info, so taking 2 courses out of the way will be of great help which actually made so much sense. and since the school offered it, why not take the opportunity. So I did 😫

That's amazing that you're doing it and getting it out the way. I also want to but I'm taking two prerequisite classes right now. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to add those two classes also. Are you taking any other classes or just portage ?

No I'm not taking more classes besides pharm and patho.I had to speed up completeting my last 2 pre-reqs so I could focus on just these 2 courses.

What are the YouTube videos you are using if you don't mind me asking. I've been trying to find someone good for patho. Also have you heard about simple nursing?

I use nurse Sarah for pharm.She is super amazing and makes you understand very easily. For patho, I haven't started focusing on YouTube videos as of yet.Just doingmy notes and taking the exams. Yes I have heard of simple nursing and level up RN but I don't use them cause most of them seem to need a subscription to dive into the good part.. for nursing materials/study guide, y'all don't sleep on etsy!! They have really good stuff and super affordable! You just have to order and download them..you can get a whole study guide packed with details for as little as $4 $5 or even $3! Go on there you guys!

I hear nurse sarah is the best for pharm. Do you mind sharing the link to the ones you bought off Etsy? I'd love to check them out too.

Yes! She is definitely the best for pharm in my opinion.  Here are the links. They are alot of info though but I found them helpful. I haven't even been able to go through all of them.

Hello everyone! Please has anyone gotten an appointment for their toxicology screening? I ordered it and sent proof of payment to the school which they acknowledged, but I'm not so sure if we are supposed to fill out form 2 (where we were asked to choose 2 or 3 dates) and send it to them before we get an appointment. I sent an email but no response. Anybody have an idea about this please? 🙏

When I sent my proof of payment, they responded stating that I will receive an email requesting my availability for the screening. I haven't received anything  yet.

Oh I see! Thank you very much! Are you doing your health screening through the Mount Sinai health system or you are using your private doctor? I am very confused about this..I tried to find out the cost to use them but no success on that 😬

Well I'm a dummy and didn't read the entire email before sending the information. I want to use my own doctor but from what I read and understood, if we do the toxicology with them, the physical is going to be with them too? I may have understood it wrong. Lmk if you do get any additional information. I wonder if we can use our insurance through them too.
