I am in the program now and commute from Rockland too! It's hard sometimes, but not terrible. Def helped that the last while has been fully online.

In cohort 5 most ended up passing even though many were failing, because it became online. In cohort 4, 15 out of 45 failed the first time around and had to retake the semester

She ran the school and was the only one available to help students with requests and to provide information. She is the 3rd higher faculty member to leave in a few months, and there are 2 following closely behind her. PSON is a failing institution

It is so true! They have been absolutely awful about student concerns during COVID. Our Summer semester begins in a month and we have absolutely no information on the set up for it. there are students who will have no childcare, be in a different state etc, yet PSON refuses to announce a Summer plan, probably because they havent got one yet.

there are some people in my cohort who manage to work part time bc they have no other commitments! I would say try that before quitting! especially because in the first semester there are no clinicals!

Mt Sinai will never do anything to make it easier for the students, regardless of COVID. Also there is no one to ask bcuz the only helpful staff member just resigned after 18 years due to the downfall of PSON Re supplies - a laptop is essential, and textbooks will be told to you with each class, but the PDFs are just as good! I paid 160 for a textbook bc the teacher said the newest edition is best, and she was using an older edition herself and based answers on her book, which at times conflicted with the new edition! So dont waste money on them! youll end up teaching yourself from you tube mostly!

pre immersion is just some discussion boards about what you expect, how you study, etc good luck!

Id be so happy to share! PSON is going through a very rough patch, between trying to move buildings, and not giving a shiz about students, my experience as a nursing student has been completely ruined. No one answers emails, no one communicates. Most of the faculty and admin has left, even staff who have worked there for 20 years, because the situation is so out of hand, PSON will hire a tree willing to teach - our professors are mostly AWFUL, with the exception of just one or two. The tests are often incorrectly graded but the professors refuse to correct themselves. there is no one to turn to for help, ever. I have had to teach myself every thing that I know! even now, with COVID, the school was so so unaccommodating to student concerns during finals - and wouldn't help students who had childcare/ time lag conflicts. this is also the only school in NYC who still hasn't communicated their Summer plan to the students in light of COVID. I wish you a lot of luck

Hey! I am at this school! PM me!

they absolutely do not

I do! Message me!

Hey! Before I started I heard it was Hybrid, in our first semester some classes were only every other week - but now we have all classes every week and nothing is hybrid at all. We have had classes end in the evening sometimes, and it will be somewhat frightening in that area, I guess we will have to stick in big groups.

there is one scholarship that you can get, it is 2K and its given depending on an essay you write for it

I took out 42K in private loans, and was awarded 10K in federal loans I also got the scholarship from the school which was 2K

They also make every attempt to have students fail classes so they have to repeat semesters - giving the school more money. That was harder with take home assignments due to COVID19, but last semester 25% of the cohort failed pharm and had to take it again with our cohort now. that is A HUGE percentage
