Is anyone actively applying to SPSON for the May semester? I was told they were having an information session tomorrow at 10 (Staten Island location) and was wondering if anybody else would be in attendance. I believe they also are having one today ...

For May? I'm still in the process.

Oh okay, I actually had to reschedule the information session so I'll be going on Monday instead. I'm still thinking that the Queens location might be better for me in terms of commute, because SI is like 2 hours away from me in Brooklyn. But I heard...

I'm surprised this thread is still going strong.

I'm not a nurse, but likewise, will be embarking on a new nursing journey this spring. I'm also in my mid-twenties. YouTube has been incredible for me, there are thousands of videos with tips on how to study, what to be prepared and look out for in n...

Who cares? It's apart of the atmosphere. You work in healthcare, tensions, anger and frustration from staff, patients and their families is bound to happen. It just comes with the territory in my opinion. I guess this would bother a much older or res...

Hey there. What I know about the shuttle is what I've read from reading about everything SPSON related on this site. The shuttle picks you up from Atlantic Ave/Barclay center station in Brooklyn. Apparently, the ride is then 35 minutes to the school....

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Naps are certainly going to be a must for you. I hope you catch every parking spot if you do decide to drive lol.

Thanks, and same to you!

Oh yeah, the Bronx is definitely a hell of a commute! I don't think I could function after starting work at 6:45am and then going to class, so more power to you! It seems like the parking at the Queens campus might be a bit of a doozy as well. How lo...

Staten Island campus, for May. Can't wait to get the process started!

I don't drive. But I've heard and read on a few of these forums that there's a bus that picks up students from Atlantic Ave/Barclay Center train station that takes students to the school.

Congrats to you Valerie! I haven't applied yet, but hoping to do so soon. I've just been putting spson in the search feature and reading every thread I possibly can about the process and how to be prepared. How was the testing portion for you? And wh...

I'm interested in the SI campus. Day classes. Hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot by choosing SI and not Queens lol. I'll be commuting from Brooklyn.

Yeah, agreed. Congrats on getting into SP though. I really hope I can get through in May. I have to wait until late December to apply since I'll be out of the country. So will you be taking evening classes in SP? And which site accepted you?

How come you decided with SI against SP? I've been looking at both since I want to go for May, and I know that SP is not ACEN accredited while SI is, but I've been borderline stalking the alumni lol and it seems like many of them had no issues obtain...

I'm not into my 30's yet but it's great to read stories about people who are and are getting into nursing!

I want to apply for May, that's my plan once I come back from vacation in December. Good luck to you all.

Congrats! Make sure to celebrate!

I'd love to know how those of you that were accepted into the program are feeling, how's the process been, clinicals, who are the better professors and so forth lol.

Hey there. I'm not in the same boat as you, I haven't began my journey towards nursing school yet but I do suffer from depression. It's caused me to be stagnant in my life, and even with nursing. I understand how you feel and what you mean. The advic...

Hey there. I'm new to the site, but have been doing a bit of research on spson because I want to go for the spring semester, if it's possible. It seems like they also have semesters available in May from other threads I've read on here. If you use t...

Congrats to those of you that got in! I'm interested in SPSON but suspect I'll have to try my luck for the fall semester. I wasn't sure if I was mentally ready to take on nursing school yet. Does spring include different months? I was reading other t...
