Phillips Beth Israel 2013 Applicants

Published

In the process of putting together my application for PBISN 2013. Who else is applying? I'm curious to hear from current students and recent grads--what was your background? Your NLN scores/GPA? Thoughts on the program?

Good luck everyone!

Hi, I just found out that in addition to the $420 health fee, there is going to be an additional charge for a background check & drug test. Does somebody know how much is the fee?

That 3 times a week schedule is for summer classes only. It will be on Fri 9-12 in the fall. Once you pass 1st year, you have the option of summer or fall pharm class.

I'm an ATOP student and in terms of registering for my courses for the first time this fall, I am confused as to which courses to enroll in since I see two courses labelled:

Nursing 101 Intro. to Nursing (ATOP/Lab) and Nursing 101 Intro. to Nursing (ATOP/Clin) which both have 0 credits and is a Saturday class.

While another courses is labelled: Nursing 101 Intro. to Nursing (ATOP) which has 6 credits and is a Thursday class.

I'm not sure which one to choose or am I supposed to be enrolled in both?

Thanks!

eyan13 - I believe you are supposed to sign up for one lecture, one lab and one clinical...and yes the lab and clinical are 0 credits. It says ATOP on it so make sure you click on the right one (I did it this morning). Also make sure you sign up for math for medications (it's an online class and it gives you the choice of either tuesdays or wednesdays).

The Nursing 101/ATOP lecture is 6 credits.

hope that helps :)

Thanks so much! Yeah it was getting confused because I didn't realize that the 6 cred class was a lecture.

Regarding uniforms- do we have to order via Jen's Scrubs? Has anyone ordered yet? I'm 5'7'' and not sure if I need tall scrubs or not.

Hey so I just found out from one of my fellow classmates that when he got interviewed she told him that BI will offer a bachelor program before he graduates (he graduates in 2015) and she was very confident when she told him he said to me. So you still have hope if you are interested. to: sesiliachan
