Phillips Beth Israel Applicants

Published

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone has applied to the Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in NYC for the coming year? I am looking to get into their part-time evening program that would begin in Spring 2011. I'm taking the NLN this Wed and really nervous about it, really just the verbal part....

@jules: I agree in the hopes that a long interview = a good interview. it was just an insane rush back up to work (where I had said I'd be one hour late, not two!).

@jay: you are going to do great!!! think about it: they sent you a form letter and you took action. you demonstrated that you were willing to do what it took to get in, and made them look twice at you. And even though "pretty much" doesn't mean definite, it still means you're practically there! :up:

oh man, I don't know how I'm going to make it through this month!

Kuklara, I was reading old posts in this thread and noticed you're in Queens; I live in Astoria!

Hey guys, I've just been following your posts and I feel for all of you. I don't go to this school but I start my nursing program in the Fall as well so I'm pulling for all of you guys. If I had to wait until June to find out if I got into a program, I would have gone crazy! lol

One of my friends is in the program. She transferred in after spending two years in another college (a college I use to go to) she doesn't have a degree in anything else or healthcare experience so I think they do consider everyone equally. She said she loved the program but its very grueling, she's doing the day program and just finished her second semester. She said her first semester clinical was in Neurology and her second semester one was in Med-Surg.

Thanks so much Kuklara. I feel like I'm in a dream. I'll let you know how eveything works out.

I'm in Astoria also!! You're a shoe-in Jay, have a great Friday!!

I live in Bellerose but being I am greek and Astoria is a big "greek" hangout spot I am there all the time...I'm actually going there tomorrow to get a pedicure and some CDs

Thank you OSuro!

I love Astoria so much (and definitely lots of cheap-but-good nail places!) My landlord and his wife are Greek, so I've tried to learn enough to impress them. Mostly I just say, "I'm sorry" over and over again, since I could be sleeping and they'll say I'm being too loud, lol!:nuke:

Jay, are you interviewing next week? fingers crossed!!!

I'm interviewing today!! :eek: I'm not too nervous, more like I just want to get it over with feeling (I'm sure you know what I mean). I'm cleaning my house trying to keep myself distracted, lol. My interview isn't until 4pm so I have ALL day to wait. :uhoh3:

today?? whoo hoo!!! that's so great! and you'll have the weekend to relax afterwards! I totally know what you mean about just wanting it to be over. then it's back to the waiting game. :D

are you for the evening program?

I applied to the ATOP program but I'm flexible. I'm a stay at home mom and my youngest will start school full time in the fall so I have the days free, woohoo!!! LOL! I am so having a drink when I get back from the interview. This whole process has been so stressful and the waiting after...UGH! It will have all been worth it if I get in. :D
