Hello Ericgeex,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with many of the applicants who are still waiting to hear back. I know exactly how stressful this waiting game can be. So just stay positive and no matter what happens, just keep going and apply again. Persistence is key.    
 

Ericgeex, I have a few questions in regards to the program. Do you mind sharing your email with me please. 

Sure -- [email protected]

Hello Everyone,

I am a new grad of the program, and I just wanted to share some thoughts with you. First I'll be blunt, this is a bad program. The leadership is incompetent, half the faculty are totally unsuited to be educators (I even doubt their nursing competencies). All this school is, is a name. The massive debt you will incur is completely unjustified for the quality of education. For those of you who get accepted, you will see this VERY early on. Additionally, they continued raising tuition every semester, despite my covid cohort receiving a watered down experience. Regardless of zoom or no zoom, some instructors are incompetent, unknowledgeable , disrespectful, lazy, bureaucratic and just rude. I should note, there are faculty GEMS in this program, some professors are the greatest I ever had (I was an accelerated student so I had them all), who did their own thing and were incredible. Also note, faculty/curriculum are very political, and one sided, so take that for what it is. Now, reading this 20 months ago would NOT have swayed me to not attend NYU, so I understand how you all feel. If NYU is all you get accepted into, GO. If you have options, especially cheaper ones, dodge NYU. tuition is around 120k total for this program, don't burry yourself in exorbitant debt to fill this schools pockets. There is a massive nursing shortage, graduating from anywhere will land you a job. Final thoughts, do I regret going, NO...life is short for regrets. I graduated with latin honors and met incredible people, however, consider your return on investment. Fall in love with science and helping people, and you will do great in nursing school, best of luck everyone!

I'm pretty confused on what your goal was with posting this. if you don't regret going here, and you yourself understand that most people are not going to take your indiviudal experience at NYU into account when deciding if they will go here or not, why share your experience here when nobody asked?

I actually appreciate the insight that this person has given us. I think it's good to have someone who has experienced the program give their take on what it was like. I also think it's important to know the good/bad of each program before going into it.

@NYUGrad I appreciate your post. For the majority of us, 120K is an exorbitant amount of money. I am still deciding whether to accept the offer. Is there anyway to PM you? I would really appreciate it. Thank you ?

My goal is to inform potential students on the realities of this program. If that upsets you, then you shouldn't pay it any mind. I sat in these forums for months back in early 2020 gathering as much input from individuals on here, and thinking back now that I am a grad, I would have appreciated honest perspectives from graduates about the program. It's difficult for me to provide additional evidence of my experience without providing my peers contact info, but majority of them will reiterate my comments. The danger of taking hundred of thousands of $$$ in private loans can cripple you financially for a long time. I'm sorry, but that is reality. That's why I recommended NYU not be your only destination and consider other, CHEAPER options because NYUs price tag is not justified outside of its name. I don't regret it because whats the point? Can I go back in time? I graduated the program with excellent grades and sitting for the NCLEX, and so will you all soon, and that's all that matters. Wish you luck, don't listen to me and follow your heart.

Thank you for sharing those insights with us. I have a few questions here. I don’t know if you mind to answer it. I see there is a dosage calculation exam that need to be taken in first semester. I wonder what is that, is that a hard exam? Thank you so much

It's very easy, simple arithmetic. Use Youtube to study for this program, lots of good material and lots of learning for yourself. Don't stress it until school starts, dosage calc is an easy quiz

Thank you so much ! What kind of study advices would you give to us that who will go to NYU soon? Like what we should prepare  or how we should study ? Is the program intensive ? How were the Professors ? Are they good ?  Sorry for so many questions and thank you
