NYU RN to BSN program

Published

:confused:

I am graduating from an ADN program 12/2011. I'm looking to head straight into a BSN program for Jan. 2012. I wanted to go to NYU for my BSN. NYU says I'd have to wait to get my license from my ADN just to enter and obtain my BSN.. therefore making me apply to the Fall 2012 RO to BSN program.

Does anyone know why NYU requires the RN license for the RN to BSN program? I just don't understand, because if you'd be applying to the BSN program, you wouldn't need the license. And apparently, I wouldn't fall under that category since I'd have graduated from an ADN at that point.

Does anyone have other suggestions and routes I can take to obtain my BSN more efficiently? :nurse:

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear this, I am getting my associates too. I plan on getting my BSN straight out of school too and any hiccup would frustrate me too. I am curious what happened?

This is only speculation, but as an advisor for CUNY SPS RN to BS program, I would like to guess. One of the components of a good college program is retention and graduation rates. Many RN to BSN programs would be able to let students take only one or two classes prior to licensure. This can slow a student's progress through said program which affects the stats.

As an example of me, CUNY SPS will take a select number of students who are pre licensure, but they must be deemed most likely to pass NCLEX on their first try. These students also must pass the NCLEX prior to registering for a second semester.
