Hey, fellow NYC new grad here. I also went through 2 rounds of interview for a position last week. Here is my timeline with the update on my application: 10/13 Applied to position, "application submitted" 10/14 Received interview request, "in process" 10/16 Interview with recruiter/HR, received link for references, "assessment/references" 10/18 In-person interview, still "assessment/references" The PCD (who was the nurse manager of the unit) said to hear back by next week. It's been one week and yet no response. Each day, it becomes a waiting game as I feel less hopeful and more anxious. For me, the unit I was going for had a day and night position and I applied to both. I got the interview for the night position and it's still active. The day position became inactive and I was "no longer under consideration". That might be the case, if not, then I'm not sure. Hopefully you get the job!

I am actually not sure but I am assuming that we don't need the uniforms for the anatomy lab because that isn't a course that is exclusive to nursing students. We would only need the uniforms for the nursing courses (that have labs and clinicals). The BIOL lab has BIO majors, so, in my opinion, I wouldn't wear them because I don't want to stand out. Basically, BIOL courses: don't need uniform. NURS courses: need uniform.

@youngj I'm sorry, but I can't let you borrow mine because I got the uniforms and ordered the wrong size so they are too big for me. I looked at the size chart wrong ?. Mine took a whole month (5 weeks) to come, it should probably take the same amount of time for you. Since we are in the Generic program, our clinicals and nursing labs don't start until the Spring semester (because we'll be taking NURS 210: Fundamentals of Nursing in the Spring). The classes we're taking in the Fall (NURS 200 and NURS 240) don't have clinicals and lab. Those in the A2D program or juniors in the Generic program will have clinicals and lab in the Fall semester. I hope that we don't need them in the Fall because I'll be doomed ?.

@youngj I didn't email yet, but I will definitely reply YES.

@Jose Z Other than emailing the pre-nursing advisor about our acceptance and attending the orientation soon, is there anything else that we have to do?

Me too. I am SO EXCITED!

@Jose Z Thank you so much! Chem 120 was the most stressful class. But, just out of curiosity, are you an upcoming junior or senior? Also, what were your stats when you got in the program?

@Tanu I am actually not sure, but I think that it should be the same process as when you did it from last time. I assume, yes, that it should also be an updated transcript with the new grades from Spring.

@Tanu I emailed the pre-nursing advisor about sending an updated transcript a week ago and she said: "You don't have to submit additional transcripts to the school. We will download the transcript internally from CUNYfirst". But, I will still update it on NursingCas just in case.

@youngj @Ety @deanie Hey guys, I just want to let you know that my advisor told me that we should hear back in around May. If we don't hear back by May, then it could be in June. Good luck with this semester and I hope that we get in.

@DaniellaC It's the reason why everyone kept on saying Hunter's nursing program are competitive because people have such high stats. I am applying to the generic program. I hope that we get in. My academic advisor said that we might hear back in May and if not, by June. Last year, people heard back in June so I also expect to hear back at around that time.

@DaniellaC Are you also going for Hunter's generic nursing or are you going for the A2D or RN to BSN?

Hi @DaniellaC. I took the test last week. I got 141 and my GPA is 4. I agree. I just skimmed through the verbal section and I was very surprised that I got over two-thirds of the questions right.

@deanie Your score is AMAZING! Your stats are just as GOOD. Yeah, I hope that we have a chance. We must stay strong this semester just like in the previous semester. I agree, I feel okay with all my other classes. I am just having a hard time and hate the Chemistry classes (CHEM 121 and CHEM 120). They make it difficult for no reason, which makes me wonder why people would want to major in Chemistry. It is so hard to understand. Science is literally a whole new language.

@deanie I forgot the mention, there are also students from the nursing honors scholar program. Students in that program get immediate entry into the nursing program. All they have to do is just take the prerequisites and pass the classes. They don't have to do the NursingCas application and they don't have to take the NLN-PAX test. I am so jealous of them and if only I had known about that sooner. You can only apply for the honors scholar program at the same time you apply to hunter college as an incoming freshman (in other words, applying as a high school senior). I don't know how many students are in the honors scholar program, but they are also going for the generic program. Knowing that there are about 100 seats for the generic program, in reality, there are even less seats for students who are not in the honors scholar program.
