Creating this for those applying to the ABSN program entering Jan 2023 at the PACE Westchester campus. 

Yes, I am! I applied to mercy as well and CMSV. I like pace also cause their program is 11 months compared to everyone else’s

Hey guys! I am student in the Pace ABSN program set to graduate in december. If you guys have any questions let me know I will try my best to help answer any. I thought I would post here because I used allnurses when I applied to nursing school. Just a few tips.. make sure you take advantage of talking to the Pace RN4 students because for at least the first semester they have taken the professors you will have. Make sure you do well on the first couple exams of the semester like patho/pharm and funds because out of 88 student we were left with 66 in the Summer mostly because they started off drowning. for patho pharm.. if you have paradiso GO TO HER REVIEW to hone in but still study everything from the powerpoints you won't pass if you don't.. for iwama/fundamentals pay attention in class, study the powerpoints and do the coursepoint.. same thing for psych both classes are fair. Summer - henderson/maternity/L&D- makes it tough -go through the powerpoints especially the bold/red and work hard on that class especially if your a dude and don't know that stuff.. you should spend the most time on that after med surg and patho pharm. peds and med surg were fair. patho pharm same thing go to the review and review notes. Last semester I cant say much yet but the clinicals process sucked. Pace placement is probably better then northwell if you want a competitive unit. They say its random but they definitely play favorites on the clinical placement. if I didn't have a job as a pct in an ICU I would probably be mad about it.. I got my last choice med surg LOL.. so no strategy for that. for the elective take health assessment or Onc unless you want to write papers. oh yeah and Kaplan end of the semester test make sure you either read the basics texts and do the review exams or use the Kaplan flashcard for that section.. the flashcarsh are the basics book broken into flashcards.

Overall if I could do it again. I would probably still be at pace even though it has a lot of flaws. Mostly because I didn't get into rutgers and the other program I got into was 16 months.. I would say the major flaws being its expensive and clinical placement team is trash.. I could literally do better on my own. I think my med surg clinical was the only good one and the tuition is close to 70K in total with $0 in grants or financial aid. 

Good luck on your applications!! if you have any questions feel free to ask me.

Hi,

I am starting this program in Jan & was wondering if you could PM me because I have a few questions! I tried to message you but it won't let me.

Hi how are you!! I hope you can still see this, I'm currently in the pace ABSN Spring cohort and I just have a few questions on the classes for the last semester. Do you have any advice for population and community health and leadership? Or just overall for the last semester. Thank you!

Hi, I recently got placed on the waitlist for the Fall 2024 semester. I just wanted to see if anyone had ever been waitlisted before and did they eventually get accepted? and how long did it take? Also for those we attended or are currently attending Pace, would you recommend this program? What did you like or not like about it? Thank you.
