SO AWESOME! I would advise everyone to get to working on the packet requirements ASAP! LOL. What a doozy.

July 9 to get all pre reqs/registration done. August 9 orientation, August 23rd classes begin.

Has anyone ordered their scrubs!? I wanted to get some Figs but I see they don't carry that dark green color PSON requires. Anyone?!

Hi and thank you! No interview. Graduated with a bachelors ELEVEN years ago and no, not an amazing student. Barely cracked a 2.9 GPA but I took the 9 pre reqs in a matter of 6-7 months ending with a 4.0. I do work in a prestigious hospital- but admin...

Oh I would 100% do the 15 month program instead! It might not sound like a big difference now but once youre in the program im sure youll appreciate being done a bit early! Ultimately it might help to see which program you think has the most posit...

Is the mercy program cheaper? Id choose the less expensive option

JUST received my acceptance! Im shaking! ????

I received an email this morning from PSON saying theyve just finished a preliminary review of my application and just needed an extra detail. This def tells me theyre looking at things closer but it might take them a little while to send out decisio...

You sent in application February 23rd and havebt heard back?! I mean theres still several months left so thats not so bad but I sent my application today and im literally not even going to think about it then! LOL

They did! It is also visible in NursingCAS as the new deadline.

I was told that if taking patho and pharm they have to be complete and transcript send by July 1st for the Fall cohort

I’m definitely doing this too!!

Its even crazier that NYU is like double this price! Gives me anxiety haha

Youre honestly like an angel!! I cant believe you can take patho and pharma beforehand. I just hope I learn enough in order to be able to use it in school LOL. Can you take both pharma and patho? They would accept both from Portage?

Hi Jackie! I did BLS through the AHA last year. Try emailing here to close locations near you: [email protected]

I just finished the last of my two pre-reqs and saw they extended deadline to May 15th! So amazing! I’ll be submitting my completed application by next week. Now I’m really thinking of taking those extra portage classes! Good luck everyone!

Hello everyone!! I have been lurking around this site for far too long and I just need to know if I’m making the right decision. For the past 3 years I've been working in a top hospital on the administrative side of patient services but my goal was a...

This actually made me cry. It's been a tough day with some bad news but you taking the time out to respond has really meant a lot. You going for a third career just shows its never too late to learn and go for the goals youve set. I know I need to ta...

Thank you for replying! I do see your point about security and consumption. Im at a point in my life where there is $0 debt in my marriage and we just want learn new things and acquire new skills which is really what life is about. Unfortunately as a...

I really appreciate your reply and thank you for taking the time to read my post! I'm actually not a single mom, sorry if that wasn't clear. My husband and I also have $0 debt -- no student loans, no CC cards, no car payment ---which I know is what m...

It actually doesnt which im so relieved about.

Thank you for replying! To be honest I looked at CC and I don't want to spend longer than I need to in school. My employer covers 20k of the 60k. Theyre already covered 14k of the pre reqs I needed to take so really, it wouldnt be the full 60k, but s...

Thank you so much for your reply, it rly does mean so much. Iam in NYC and my primary goal after switching careers is to leave this city behind for GOOD. It is one of the reasons I've chosen nursing. It has so many avenues!! It is a skill I will use ...

Hi! Your story sounds very similar to mine. Going back for nursing as second career and I’m deciding on ABSN. Reason is I have a child and don't want to waste time always going back to school. Just one and done. Also, here in NYC program will run me ...
