I just got notified that I was accepted into the Fall '22 Accelerated Nursing Program! Wanted to start a thread to other students who may be attending as well or those who are applying and may have questions. ?

Hello everyone! I applied for Monroe College's Accelerated program for the Winter 2023 cohort. I was wondering if anyone heard back or if you're a current students could describe your experiences in the program. I received an 85 on the TEAS scores, accumulatively 3.8 GPA and 3.3 on the prerequisites. Thank you and best of luck to you all!

Googling, I see names like Stony Brook, Molloy, and Adelphi. Molloy and Adelphi I can do, but not Stony Brook, as the application deadline has passed. Is Hofstra a good pick too? For me, Suffolk would be the cheapest and most convenient, I'd just need to transfer for my BSN, but I don't really know if it'd look as good on a resume as the other schools.

I'm planning to attend the NCC Nursing Evening Program and am currently navigating the admissions process. I attended one of the information sessions a while ago and will be attending another one soon, but I had a few questions for students who have gone through or are currently in the program. I already have a bachelor's degree from SUNY Empire, so I have quite a few transfer credits. I reached out to admissions to ask if they could review my transcripts and let me know which courses would transfer, but I was told that this is done on a case-by-case basis and is not guaranteed. I was wondering if anyone here had a similar experience with transferring credits from a previous degree. For example, I completed Anatomy & Physiology, but my course was listed as BIO 171 instead of AHS 131, and several of my other courses have similar differences in course numbers. I'm curious how flexible NCC was with accepting those types of credits. If my credits do transfer, I'm planning to complete the remaining science prerequisites ahead of time so that, if admitted, I would be left with only the nursing core classes during the program to help ease the course load. Has anyone taken a similar approach, and if so, how did it work out for you?

I also wanted to confirm something about the Evening Program schedule. Are labs and clinicals truly held in the evening as well? I'm unable to attend anything before 5:00 PM. The flyer I saw included a sample schedule showing evening lectures, labs, and clinicals, but I just wanted to confirm that this is the case.

Thank you so much in advance !!  I really appreciate any insight you can share! 

I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on mount saint marys college, I will be looking into going from LPN to BSN. Has anyone ever done it with this school? If so how was your experience, and approx. how long did it take you to finish? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm currently taking prerequisite courses at a local community college for an ABSN program. I'm already certified as a CNA, but I haven't worked yet. I'm considering enrolling in a Patient Care Technician (PCT) program to increase my chances of getting a hospital job.

The program I'm looking at costs about $4,000 and takes around six months to complete. My goal is to start working in the medical field before nursing school and hopefully continue per diem while in the ABSN program.

Some people have told me to just start applying for CNA positions right away, but I feel that it's harder to get into a hospital without prior experience. On the other hand, students who complete this PCT program often find hospital jobs here in NYC.

I'd love to hear from anyone in NYC—do you think it's worth investing the time and money into the PCT program?

Anyone know how the hiring process works at Mount Sinai NYC? What happens after the application is moved onto hiring manager review?

Thank you!

Thank you, Lili

This has been my process so far :

I submitted my application, took the HESI and sent over all of my documents. I was then told I needed to come in person to drop off documents. (ie. social security, hs diploma/ bachelors degree, and my passport)

I submitted these documents in person today and was told my application is " under further review" and I would hear back from them soon. Does anyone know who long this process usually takes ?

Also any insight of the school would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Thanks

ADEX has a smaller bonus and a 5,200+ hour contract but no negative reviews. However, they delay family relocation by a month, which is a concern.

I'd appreciate insights from anyone with experience with these agencies or similar case.

I want to do my credential evaluation with the nyc bord directly without cgfns, if anyone did it, how long did it take? 

• generally , how is the school / their program / professors ? How are online classes ?
• Is it true that they have a 100% acceptance rate as long as u meet all requirements ?
• How long do u usually have to wait for a decision letter from them ? (I applied Mar 9 '21)
• Do they really transfer Science credits that have C+ and up ? meaning , u would be a few steps ahead regarding pre-reqs because of the transfer ? (I have an A.A.S degree)

I'll probably add more to it later depending on how much information I can get from other places ... please feel free to add on to this conversation ! Thank u so much 

I was just curious on how you all did on the NLN exam? I scored in the 140's and I hope that's good enough... I also wanted to know how you all submitted your scores to CSI? Because on the website it says that they want scores mailed to the school,, however the NLN only send scores electronically through email?

I'll be graduating this May with my BSN and I'm interested in applying to nurse residencies in NYC. Just curious if anyone could provide some insight to the interview process and how competitive/difficult it is to land a job at one of the big NY hospitals (such as NYP and NYU). Please let me know! 

For reference, I'm a NY state resident and US citizen through birth, nursing license is from Canada.

Thanks!
