I'm currently work 40 hours a week while I finish up my prerequisites for the RN program. I've heard some great things about the NYU BSN program and have started to look into the transfer process. I currently live in LA, but in my travels to NYC, there's no comparisson. I've also weighed out the cons as well (harsh winters, sky-high living expenses).
My main question is for anyone who is familiar with the NYU RN program itself (the full term program or accelerated 15mth program). What has been your experience...from application through the exam? GPA requirements? Aside from keeping my GPA up, are there any other items that will help my application stand-out from the others? Between lecture/clinical, studying, what is a realistic amount of time left over for part-time work? Any suggestions regarding loans for the program itself & living expenses would be greatly appreciated as well.
Well, I know I'll be thinking of more questions but I guess this is a start :)
Thanks so much!
