Congratulations! That's awesome!
 

Would you mind sharing your stats? If not, I completely understand. 

Sure! I have a 3.4 GPA, with mostly B's and a few A's for my prereqs. I've been a certified home health aid for 3 years, so I've had a good amount of experience in healthcare which I talked about a lot in my application.

Hey Everyone!

I applied Jan 18th and got in Feb 4th. These are my stats: 3.3 GPA for undergrad and 4.0 GPA for prereqs. I worked and volunteered in hospice for about 3.5 years then worked as a medical scribe for about 10 months. My essay comprised of me talking about why I chose nursing and how I want to use nursing towards my future goals.

I would say it's hard but doable. But prepare to have at least one exams every week and mostly it's going to be at least two exam every week. First semester, it was more like the adjusting to the school life that was hard but not the material. We had a passing score of 80 for the exams (if you don't get 80 average for exams then you fail regardless of assignments) during our first semester which frightened us. But they changed to everything average of 80. Patho/pharm was hard but I actually did well in Patho/pharm. Psy was tricky for a lot of people bc it was differnent mindset for tests so prepare for that. And basically you have two days for school and two days of clinical/sim labs. And also many of my classmate still works. 
Second semester tho, most difficult semester with med Surg, Patho/pharm 2, Peds, and Maternal. Just exams and exams back to back and with two days of clinicals (Peds and maternal switch mid semester). Definitely study a lot for this semester.

Third semester is the easiest. If you made it thru second, third is nothing compare to second semester. But you do have to do preceptorship for 120 hours and it could be nights or day shift. Try to bang it out during the beginning of the semester so you have a lot of free time at the end. And they could put you at a farrrrr clinical. My group mostly live in queens and we have to travel to Coney Island for our clinical. 

For me, I don't read the textbook at all. Slides were fine for me. I usually study the slides on my own time. For peds, we can't do that because she will give you info in class and not on the slide. But I heard there is a new prof this year so maybe that will change. 
Wait till the class start then buy textbook bc you might not end up needing it. I only buy the access code for assignments and try to do them as early as possible bc it might be too much while you have to study for exams and finals at the end. 
I don't use much resources, the school only offered study session during second semester I think. But I didn't go to any LOL. But school doesn't have much of support according to my classmates. Just look up practice questions so do them. 
Also, if one of the professor does something in favor of the class DO NOT tell other professors and ask them to do the same thing. First it will get the professor in trouble and you lose the benefit. We had one of our professor who doesn't just "drop" the question and instead give us full credit for the error questions. It def helped us and someone in our class told other professors, we end of losing that. 
I would recommend do a study group because you will be in a better mood to study while seeing others study than studying alone. I didn't do that LOL. And you will cry during one point of the program, but you can make it thru!

Thanks a lot of taking the time to write this. Just have a few more questions. Would you say the graduation rate increased slightly after the change to everything averaging to 80? This scares me as a lot of other programs go by 75 average and I have heard Pace has a high drop out rate because of their average. Also are there any online classes or is everything in person? Lastly did you guys use ATI or Kaplan? And if so was there a required percentage one will need in order to move on to the next semester or class?

Congrats! What kind of role did you work/volunteer in with hospice?

I've worked as a clerk and administrative assistant with a hospital for about five years. Im afraid my background might be too admin-y and not enough direct patient-care. 

I submitted my application 12/29/23, got the email its under review on 2/1/24, and havent heard back yet.

Hi everyone! I applied to Pace NYC campus on 11/9/23 and got accepted 1/30/24. These are my stats: CGPA 3.88 and prereq 3.78. Mostly A's and 2 or 3 B's. In my personal statement talked about my passion for nursing plus my work experiences and I'm also a CNA. Been in the healthcare for almost 8years.

Congratulations to all accepted incoming ABSN.

Thanks so much for sharing! Were your recc letters submitted shortly after you submitted everything on your end?

I submitted everything on 12/29, but my recc letters didn't get submitted until the end of Janaury, so I'm thinking that's why my decision is taking longer(?). By reading the accepted student's posts, it seems like they get decisions about one month after they submit.

I could be overanalyzing due to the anxiety of waiting.

My recommendations were submitted 2 or 3 days after. I kept emailing my recommenders to submit and not forget so I think they did it right away...ahahaha

 

Honestly don't know how they go about their decision making but don't lose hope and keep trusting please
