So what did you end up choosing? So many nice choices!

Hi! How's the PMHNP program at Adelphi going? I'm thinking of finishing my application process, but wanted to look for some insight.

I’m almost certain you will be accepted. I’m in my final semester there right now, and what caught my eye about your question is that I’m pretty sure I had the EXACT same gpa and PAX score as you when I applied! The average PAX score is between 110-120, although they would consider 100 and up with a great gpa. Don’t worry. Apply... when they call you in for an interview, it pretty much means you’re in. ?

Did you end up applying to qbcc? I currently go there!

Congratulations!!!!!!

Congratulations to all who are going to PBSON in the Fall!! I ended up getting accepted at my school (Queensborough). I applied to the dual joint program, and got into Hunter for my BSN. I'm currently in my second semester. It's kicking my butt, but I LOVE it!!!!!!!! Love love love!!!! When I went to PBSON's open house, I got the same impression that my school's program gives: It's a great program run by great people. Let me know how it all goes!!! Best of luck!!

"Are you SURE this isn't a butter knife?"

"Are you SURE this is absolutely necessary?"

Thanks for the info! Yes it does seem to be a very intimate school, which I like because I feel that learning happens best for me when there is more of a connection in the classroom. I'm going to the Open House next Wednesday which should be fun– I'll let you all know how it goes!

Wow, thank you so much for the quick response. You are absolutely right that the program is so new... for some reason I thought they might have had one or two graduating classes by now. Queensborough has a partnership with Hunter College (as well as York College and the online BSN program that CUNY offers) where you can apply to finish your BSN during your first semester of nursing school at Queensborough. If accepted, you have a guaranteed seat waiting for you when you finish your ADN. It's pretty cool considering how tough it is to get into the program at Hunter directly, however, in my situation I feel as though a full four years is long when I have the opportunity to do it in less than two. Thanks for sharing that article! I'm going to the Phillips-Beth Israel School of Nursing open house next week, and reading this has made me even more excited!

Sending you a digital hug because it seems like you could use one right about now: ::hugs:: Keep your chin up. You are going places! And you will inevitably meet new people, make new friends, and someday meet an amazing person who is worthy of your time. Just gotta keep on keeping on. And come back here to vent about anything anytime.

Hello Everyone! I need your input. I'm currently taking nursing pre-requisites at Queensborough Community College in NY, and am looking into the Mount Sinai Beth Phillips School of Nursing's Accelerated BSN program. (I have a BS in Graphic Design.) My question is: Has anyone here on allnurses graduated from this program? I know it's very new, and I would like to hear what everyone has to say about their experience there. Tell me about how intense it was, how the 15 months is broken up, and whatever else you think I should know. I am attracted to finishing my BSN in 15 months as opposed to taking two years at Queensborough for an ADN, but I'm also worried about the pricetag. Not as steep as NYU's Accelerated program, but still pretty up there compared to public college. Your input will help me decide if it's worth it. Plan B might be finishing at Queensborough with an ADN, by some miracle landing a nursing job with only an Associate's, working for a couple of years, and then applying to one of Stony Brook's MSN programs (which you can apply to with just an ADN as long as you have a BS/BA in some other field, but might be tougher to get into because you need to hand in a Clinical Portfolio with your application). ***Some background on what I've been able to handle in the past: I have all A's and one B for my pre-requisites thus far, and a 3.6 gpa. At one point in my graphic design career, I took 21 credits in one semester, and did fine in all except one. I feel that because of this experience, I can probably handle a heavy load- but more like 18 credits, and not 21. All the while having one, and later two small children at home. Still nervous about what I can or can't handle in nursing school. Please advise. Thanks so much!!
