Hey,

I graduated from NYU's 15 month program in Jan-someone mentioned you'd be 80,000 in debt-NOT for the 15 month program, that cost me 35,000. -I took a crit. care elective which really helped. also do an externship-in an accelerated program I had NO TIME for that and unfortunately in every job hunt externships really help.

I got into NYU pretty easily but that's probbaly b/c my prior degree was from nyu and I had a decent gpa>3.5.

good luck, the NYU instructors are pretty good, you meet great people but also apply to hunter too-it's cheaper and I think the education is quality for their accelerated program

Hey,

I'm a little confused about your tuition. Do you mean minus financial aid? I'm not saying you're wrong but I spent a lot of time crunching numbers to see how long I would be in debt hell. I calculated the costs for NYU 15 month and my math looks like this

3 full time semesters- 17,615 a piece X 3 = 52845

1 summer per credit- 1,038 X 11 credits = 11418

That cost alone is $64,263 not including the registration and services fee they charge per semester for full time and per point during summer. This is all according to tuition rates for the 2008-2009 year.

I think the 80,000 dollar debt was a fair estimate because financial aid isn't free either, its a loan you have to pay back if that is what you were including in your price. No? Sigh, 35,000 would be nice though, way cheaper than what it may cost me if I go to Loyola in Chicago.

Hey,

35,000 was an underestimate on my part, sorry!!! I had a small scholarship too.

I don't owe more than $50,000-it's closer to $40,000 but that's tuition alone not including books etc. Also, I forgot to include that each semester i paid about 3,000 out of pocket (from savings) to lessen my loans. So, yer estimate is more accurate. I was just thinking about what I still owe! $$$

NYU totally raises their tuition rates though. I'm not too familar w/ Hunter but I think you could get a solid BSN education there w/out the high NYU cost. I chose NYU mainly b/c I'd gone there the first time for my BA, applied to their nursing school on a whim and I thought my College of Arts and Science education was excellent-

If you are concerned about cost, consider Hunter- it's a cuny but my bro went there for undergad and then went on to Harvard Med.

I'm wondering if these NYU posters attended university anywhere else? I personally am in the College of Nursing at NYU now and transfered from purdue university in fort wayne, indiana. While it is MUCH more expensive, (I dont even want to think about it actually) I believe that it is worth every penny. From the professors that i have encountered, they are highly educated and seem to care about their students success. I'm not sure about all of the professors, but that is my experience with the ones I have encountered so far.

In my honest opinion, if you just want a BSN and become a nurse, i'd say you could get a equal education from many universities. But, if you want to go on further (I personally want to go into health care management), your NYU name brand education will help you pursue higher education. Lets not forget about the ability to take master courses during your BSN that will count towards your MSN. Lets also not forget that you are automatically accepted into the masters program if you start within a year of graduation (and keep your GPA up).

Also, the opportunities for intern/externships are amazing. My email inbox has been over run with opportunities for sumer/full time positions for the past couple weeks. I am waiting word on a internship for a healthcare management company whose headquarters is on wall st. Those opportunities wouldn't be available at most other places.

Another positive factor (this is for NYC, not just NYU) but you will be able to experience every facet of healthcare, from the richest people you will ever meet to the poorest people. The type of cutural/ethnic/socioeconomic experience can't be experienced in many places.

Can you get a BSN at many universities? yes

Are they cheaper than NYU? yes

will you experience a different type of experience at NYU? YES

You're paying for the experience and the future education opportunities; which is a lot more than i can say about my previous university which i was paying for a piece of paper, at least my NYU piece of paper will be woven with memorable experiences and career building opportunites.

Just my 2 cents

Hey,

J, most people at the 15 month NYU nursing program have gone to other universities-guess I'm kind of spoiled for having attended twice so i can't really compare. I do know NYUs liberal arts degree/programs are super. So, I'm really comparing one NYU school to another.

NYU's college of nursing was going through organizational changes and I felt the administration there (not pofessors, but the secretaties, etc.. at the nursing building) were kind of slow disorganized-i.e. they lost my health records during a move so I had to go and get more copies but overall most were very accomodating.

Also, NYU's college of nursing 15 month accelerated program has a B- as a minimum passing grade and they enforce it strictly. I know people who had a 79 average in a class who failed and had to repeat it. They've also gotten stricter about getting A's. When I attended, a 93-94 would be an A. Now you have to get a 95 overall for a class to get an A, which is suprisingly harder than getting a 93!

Clinicals at NYU have also been longer-increased from 8 hour to 12 hour days. And more lab days using "SIM man" have been added.

I think all these changes are positive ones in the long run, to make the program more rigorous and when graduating point these things out to prospective employers.

I'm not knocking nyu by recommedning Hunter, just that Hunter's nursing program has a good reputation and their sciences dept. is strong

And with the topic of large nursing classes, i believe that this is a common trend across the US since there's such a high demand for nurses/high amount of applications/more pressure on the universities to enroll more students. Only time will tell if this will have an adverse effect.

I know that my previous university enrolled 190 new nursing students every semester, the total student population was around 12,000 i think.

I decided to go there because I wanted to live in NYC and because NYU has a master's program in Midwifery, which is what I want to do, and they allow you to do a dual-degree program where you can take up to 9 credits of graduate electives in undergrad and have them count for credit for both undergrad and graduate school. Then I'm automatically accepted into the master's program as long as I continue the rest of my graduate school within a year of graduating from undergrad. Sorry my posts are so long! I'm trying to answer everything you guys want to know. As always, feel free to ask more questions and I'll do my best. I know what it's like to want answers.

Hi there -

I have just been accepted to the 15 month accelerated program and picked NYU because of the midwifery masters program -- however I just saw this on the website:

Announcement: New York University College of Nursing will no longer be accepting applications for admission into its Master's degree and Advanced Certificate programs in Midwifery as it will be suspending its Midwifery Program for new students beginning in the fall of 2008. The Midwifery Program will continue for current students until the last cohort of currently enrolled students has graduated.

I would be so grateful if you could give me any insight about this. I am devastated right now!

Thank you!

If I were you, I would just call the school and have someone clarify this for you. Good luck!
