Hey y'all, I'm in the program now if anyone has specific questions about it. Happy to try and answer whatever I can, within reason. I have found that it's been worth it so far and enjoy NYU a lot. I ended up writing a lot of notes and tips so I wanted to share them here.

1) The cost is high but it can be lower depending on your situation! I am an ABSN student who came back later for this degree so my options were limited for pell grants, etc, but I basically exhausted every avenue for financial aid, and luckily I got a significant amount of scholarship aid for my second semester which was a great improvement on the first semester. If you're considering going but the cost is a deterrent, they sometimes give a lot more aid the second and subsequent semesters for ABSN students. I have basically no income right now so that certainly helped, but it's possibly linked to academic performance too.  I don't really know, but I'm grateful for the ability to continue attending with lessened debt. Which brings me to point 2.

2) I've heard horror stories, so I expected nursing school to kick my a** my classes weren't quite as bad as I imagined. The material isn't easy by any means, but NYU does go a long way to support your learning in skills, clinical, and didactic portions. They offer tutoring weekly, some lectures are recorded for your review, and most of the teachers are engaging and kind. I managed to get a 4.0 this semester (something I never did in my first degree, so take my word for that). I used focused studying techniques and our program's PrepU practice questions rather than trying to memorize every single thing. I would try and understand the concept and rationale and teach it back to my boyfriend sometimes, haha. I truly recommend using practice questions as much as you can, because a lot of nursing school is about approaching situations like a nurse using critical thinking and not just regurgitating information. You will have to memorize little bits of information, don't get me wrong, but a lot of the first semester classes are about hierarchical decision making processes (example: when asked about what intervention you'd do first for a patient, they want you to think about the "ABCs" - airway, breathing, circulation - and choose wisely). Pathophysiology is a major challenge for many folks, and it was a challenging class for me as well, but I found it to be very interesting overall. PrepU/Lippincott Coursepoint was a requirement for our classes and I used their practice questions every day and more heavily right before my exams and it really helped me do well, I think. Answer rationales are your friend!  Also I got myself an ipad to physically write over the powerpoint slides on, and that has been worth its weight in gold. It really helps me a lot, so I recommend trying it if you can! 

3)  Like a lot of us, I love medical science and considered becoming a doctor years ago, but my life path wasn't very straightforward and I think I will ultimately want to go on to be an NP. I love that NYU offers a dual BS/MS. To apply for that you'll need to maintain a 3.5 each semester, not just overall. That was something people had questions about, so take note of that if you are like me, and make sure to maintain it.

4) I loved my clinical placement and instructor, but you don't have a choice in where you're placed. It isn't the best system for people because we come from all over the metro area/NJ/LI, and I have a lot of sympathy for people who were placed in a location they didn't enjoy. but everyone in my cohort did their rotations within the NYU hospital system, so there's that! You won't be (to my knowledge) sent to an outside hospital for main clinicals, so you at least get to know how NYU Langone works and meet people there if you're interested in working for them after graduation.

5) If you're admitted and choose to attend, don't buy scrub pants from NYU's bookstore. We all hated them with a passion because they're scratchy and don't fit or stretch well. Buy scrub pants from Allheart/Amazon/Uniform Advantage but just make sure to get a grape color that matches the top. Seriously this was a big issue so don't make my mistake! and nobody tells you this so it's good to know. LOL

6) Simulation lab ties in classwork from lecture, so the more you pay attention and absorb things and practice lecture material, the better equipped you'll be when you do things in "sim".  It's sort of like a "you heard this in class - now try it yourself" scenario. You'll get to practice a lot of skills and our teacher was super sweet so they were able to coach us well. 

7) Make the most of clinicals. It's tempting to try and sit and chill during downtime but if you can, ask a nurse if they need help with something. My clinical group got to help with a lot of random things just because we'd ask. We got to witness IV placements, see an NG tube in action, all sorts of interesting stuff. It does vary based on location I've heard, but I loved my clinicals and felt that it was a good starting point for patient care. 

I will definitely think of more stuff but for now that is my novel. Hopefully it helps! And good luck to everyone applying and anyone accepted. Healthcare is in a challenging spot right now no doubt, but there is a huge demand for nurses who are passionate and insightful no matter what is going in the world, and hopefully we can become those nurses soon! ❤️ 

Hi, I was just accepted to the ABSN program this fall! I had some questions about the program and New York in general, and I was hoping we could talk via email or your preferred method of communicating ?

Hey! I'm also in the Fall ABSN program and I'm actually a native New Yorker. I created a facebook group for anyone with questions so we can all help each other if you're interested:

My checklist on the bottom just transferred to the right-hand side, but it did not disappear. Does anyone have the same situation?

Do you mean the green checks ? I feel like they were on the right side before and now they are on the left but I might be wrong.

I applied at the end of March and the anticipation is killing me, cant imagine how those of you who applied last year are feeling! Best of luck to everyone, did you all apply to other ABSN programs?

I started my application in February and submitted it in the beginning of March super scared. I got accepted to a school out of state and I have until next week to accept the seat. I have to ask for an extension hopefully it goes well. I’m based in nyc, I’m nervous bc I’m still waiting on nyu, mt sinai, mercy and cmsv for NY schools,

Yes. My green buttons were on the bottom, but they shifted to the right side. I guess I was thinking too much. I hope to get good news soon.

I submitted my application on the 26th of March, and I receive nothing. I think my application has not been reviewed yet. Since I found that all the applicants who've been accepted submitted their application before the 1st of March. 

Hey there. Did you apply to the non-accelerated program or the ABSN program? I applied to the non-accelerated program before March 1 too, and I'm getting nervous.

Hey all. Who applied to the non-accelerated program? Can you share your application status and chat a bit about your stats? Thank you. Best of luck to everyone who is waiting to hear back from NYU!

I've been a lurker since this thread started. This is my second time applying to their non-accelerated nursing program. I applied for Spring 2021 before but unfortunately, I didn't get in.

I feel like they're filling up the regular nursing program and ABSN slots first before accepting non-accelerated applicants because last time, most of us who applied for the non-accelerated program got the decision email last and most didn't get in.

Also, my checklist is still there but the checks are now black not green.
