I think for the most part, coursework can be very intense so you do need to manage your time well. You do get a syllabus and topical outline near the start of the sem with all of the information on there including assignments and such, so you can always get a headstart if you think it'll be too much to manage during the sem. I don't remember how it was for others, but for me and my friends, we usually had 1-2 days of the week off aside from weekends. My latest class last semester ended at 8:45 PM and it was an on campus clinical or simulation class. The lectures first sem take place at 8 AM typically. And you only have 1 class that has lecture, off campus clinical, and on campus clinical and that's Adult and Elder Nursing. You have a mandatory open sim requirement the first sem as well in which you do have to complete a certain number of hrs in the open sim lab in your own time and submit a report of it.

I think some thing to consider with the price tag is whether or not you will be working in a state that pays nurses well. If so, it's very reasonable to pay back the tuition that you may be taking loans on and I think the sim center and the faculty at NYU make the price tag worth it.

My fourth sequence will be starting sometime around Sept 12th, so you guys are prob starting around there too.

I just sent you an email!

This thread is kind of dead-- if you want, you can provide me with your email and I'll respond to you there just in case you have any follow up q's.

No problem! I don't mind answering any questions you guys have and for the people who eventually decide to commit to NYU and create a group chat and whatnot, I don't mind answering any q's you guys have either! I love being an unofficial mentor

I think an important thing to keep in mind is that NYU is def very expensive, but it's a private university that's known for being really expensive. With that being said, if you choose to do nursing in NYC, any loans taken out for NYU can be paid back in a reasonable amount of time. Regarding scholarships, I don't think everyone gets a nursing scholarship included in their financial aid package for the school, but after that, any scholarship opportunities each semester-- you will need to apply to. I do not think NYU gives accelerated students scholarships for academic merit, unless you apply to them and get it.

I'm attending RN and I would say that it's around 120K if you get no aid and no scholarship

No problem! I wish you guys the best of luck on your application journey-- I know it can be very stressful, but I'll be available whenever to answer questions. You can also feel free to email me: [email protected]

I definitely don't regret my decision to choose Meyers-- even though the cost is really high, I've enjoyed my time here so far! I feel you do get access to a lot of great resources and there's definitely professors that are really interested in helping you and providing you with opportunities. However, with that being said, there's also professors that might not suit everyone's preferred learning style. I think another con is that you aren't allowed to choose your clinical site so it's random assignment, which means some people might end up at locations that are really inconvenient for them, such as Long Island. I don't recommend buying textbooks for all classes-- you can usually find free PDF's of all the textbooks. I did buy textbooks my first sem but I found it to be a waste of my money. Some people do buy textbooks because they want access to practice questions, but I don't find the questions to be helpful or reflective of the exams we take in class, so I'd rather save the hundreds of dollars you may spend on textbooks. Part-time work is definitely doable, but it really depends on the person. For example, I'm working 2 jobs 6 days of the week, but I prefer listening to lecture recordings, so I usually do not go to in person lectures except for one of them. However, there are people who realized that part time jobs really cut into their academic performance, so a lot of people in the program actually do not work. It's 73 for exams-- I'm not sure about classes, but what I've heard about failing classes is that you will spend the next semester taking solely the class that you failed. Only after you pass can you continue with the nursing sequences. However, if you pass and then fail another class later down the road, then you're kicked out of the program. Another thing is that for classes with clinical and lecture components, if you fail your clinical or sim portion, you end up failing the class too.

They typically do it in batches, with the first round of decisions rolling out in the first week of April.

Hi everyone! I'm currently in my second sequence for NYU's ABSN program, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

I think you should take the scholarship thing with a grain of salt, and just go into the program not expecting any scholarships. Although there is a scholarship newsletter every sem with scholarship opportunities, they're very competitive so it's hard to get a scholarship. I'm in my second sequence right now and even though the cost is really high, I agree with the person above in that I don't regret my choice and I really enjoy the work so far. I would say that there's definitely some bad profs that really made the learning environment difficult, but there's lots more good profs and they all want you to succeed. Good luck in the application process!

I'm not sure what other people may think, but I think it's important that you make sure to answer the prompt in your statement. It would also help if you got someone else to read over your statement and give you some feedback. For my personal statement, I included why I switched from premed to nursing and why I think nursing is a much better fit for me as well as why I wanted to pursue nursing at NYU. When I read my friend's personal statement, I spent quite a bit of time helping her fix it because her initial draft did not answer all of the questions in the prompt and was not as relevant as it could have been-- she ended up getting accepted as well but chose a different program.

For the accelerated program, the calendar we received says we start Sept 12th with orientation Sept 7th
