I recently graduated LIU's nursing program may 17'. Congrats on being accepted and beginning your journey into the nursing world. LIU, like any other nursing program in NY has its fair share of challenges. The biggest challenges i have had is with dealing with admin. On the other hand, the professors are easily accessible so don't be afraid to sit with them and review the exams and ensure that you understand the content. The program takes a lot of hard work and dedication and the passing grade for each class in a 76.46 exam average (meaning no group work or otherwise is counted into this). Every semester you will also have to do ATI exams until you graduate. Overall the program prepared me for the real world and not to mention that LiU HAS excellent nclex pass rates. No one that I know of has failed so far from my group. Good luck
