Hi

Besides your experience, do you have anything else about NYU you would want to share.

I hate to break the reputation to you all who thinks NYU nursing is great. It's NOT. You are just paying for the name. You are not getting a better education. I have precepted a lot of NYU students and new graduates over the years and I can tell you they are no different than any other students or graduates from other nursing schools. My co-owrkers are NYU clinical instructors and they complain they have too many students to teach or supervise the clinical sessions. So that means, most students don't have one to one hands on experience with their instructor. They come to the clinical unprepared,don't know how to take the blood pressure with manual cuff, or just standing in the hallway bec they don't know what to do.

What I find really disturbing is that some of the students, not just NYU students...think that they are going to be BSN RNs so they don't have to wipe butts or do am care.

They are shocked that RNs still have to clean up poop. Hello!!!

They are either in nursing bec of the money or job security. They don't care about nursing or the people. I find that a lot in second career students.

It's about 65K for 15 month accerlerated program at NYU. It's just tuition and does not include books,fees, living expenses. A lof of NYU graduates come out with approximately 80K in debt. But the nursing experience you got at NYU is the same as someone who graduated from public schools CUNY or SUNY with 5K SL. Where I work, we hire new grads from all over the US as long as you have a BSN.

Trust me, you will be paying for that tuition until you're in retirement.

By the way, I went to NYU bec of it was free.

Hi

I am considering NYU. What was your over all experience in the program. How helpful do you think the professors were?

quote=jlan79;3764901]I will throw my 2 cents in here about why I chose NYU. I am a second degree student and a mother. I needed a program that would get me to BSN in the least amount of time and with least amount of bs. I was accepted to Adelphi, Molloy, NYU and Hunter (but not the nursing part yet). NYU was the ONLY school that made the whole process streamlined for the students like me, coming in with other degrees and without all the prerequisites completed. I could take all prereqs in one semester there and then start the ABSN portion. At a school like Molloy, I would be following a very weird track where I would only be able to take ONE COURSE in the first semester. It would take me forever to complete. Adelphi was not much better. And dealing with Hunter was like banging my head against the wall. I felt like a foreign spy trying to get the gov-t secrets. They couldn't evaluate my diploma until I told them I accepted their program. Couldn't tell me if the pre-req course I had to take at another school was the right one to take. Plus, who knew if I would be able to attend Hunter nursing anyway. In contrast, NYU was handing me everything on a platter and I was already in the nursing program. Any questions were always addressed right away and I felt like paying all that money was worth it for my peace of mind.

So my decision was based solely on the efficiency of the program. Yes, NYU name is great. My husband went to NYU and so did most of my friends. But in this case, it really is what you pay for. Do I think NYU puts out better RNs than any other school? Of course not. In fact, I would have much prefered a smaller class. BUT, I coudlnt' afford to play around with school for 3 years of more, I have a family to support.

Hi all,

Congrats to everyone that got in! I have decided to attend NYU as well (I'm wishing I'd found this thread a while back before accepting--I had no idea how comparatively super-high the cost is compared to other programs!).

Just a quick question--does anyone have a straight number regarding tuition costs (strictly for credits, not books ofr cost of living)? I am trying to decide how to go about accepting my financial aide packet (got about 22k for the first 2 terms, including work study), and cannot seem to find a number for the cost of just the credits for the Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall cycle.

Thanks! Also, I've decided to live off campus--found a room in Brooklyn for just $600, and its only a half hour from campus. Gotta save where I can!

From NYU's site: "For students entering the College of Nursing's 15 month progression, tuition is calculated per semester for 3 full-time semesters, and per credit for the part-time summer semester."

Total would be somewhere in the vicinity of 70,000 - 75,000.

Hi everyone, I am applying for the Fall 2012 intake. Those who were accepted, do you mind if i ask your backgrounds and GPAs? I have a 3.1 in undergrad from a good school, good GRE scores, kick-ass essay and letters of rec, and was a PEace Corps volunteer in RWanda for 2 years doing health work, and Im volunteering, doing research assisting, etc...I feel like (and I could be totally wrong here) that NYU is looking for diverse and well rounded applicants instead of simply those with a high GPA? My prereq grades are mostly B's and a few As

Just curious what my chances might be... I really was not prepared for how competitive nursing school apps were going to be!

Hello

Does anybody here has a military background (retired, guard or reservist) who is in the 15 MONTH PROGRAM or just in the traditional program? If you have used up your GI Bill (NYU TUITION IS SO EXPENSIVE!) how do you pay the rest of your tuition besides financial aid and scholarships? I am currently attending NYU to complete my prerequisites.

I submitted my application for Fall 2012 last March and I have not received any response from admissions. Is this normal? How long does it take for them to get back?
