Tomorrow you should be able to see a link that allows you to use Quick Results for ~$8.

It worked for me, I did fail. Took the NCLEX-RN in NYS on Tuesday and tried this "trick" as soon as I got home, yesterday, and today. I answered the questions as I did before (Have you taken the exam before etc.) and it allowed me to continue to the payment section. FWIW, I got 76 questions, 3 SATA, lots of priority, about 5 meds, and I got the last question right.

Actually NYU is very good at accepting credits from other schools. I myself took them mostly at SUNY Suffolk Community College and I took Development Psychology at SUNY Online (Herkimer). If you're not sure they'll accept it then just email them with the class description and they'll let you know quick. GPA is important, but not necessarily that high. Get as many as you can at B+ or greater, have an excellent essay on why you want to major in nursing, and have decent recommendations.

I got the mail yesterday, you get instructions on how to get your NYU account setup and then register for classes. Once that's done you'll have to send them the registration worksheet with the envelope enclosed in the package. I am entering their accelerated program.

I just registered! I live in NYC so I'm sure that helped me get it first. It took a bit of time, searching what fits etc. If anyone wants to be walked through it just let me know. You can Private Message me with your AIM or Yahoo or GTalk. Hopefully there aren't too many of you, or I can guide you as a group.

I highly recommend this site: http://www.getbodysmart.com/ I like how it briefly discusses the root of the words, when applicable, it helped me remember things better when I could put them in context. The site is not complete, but it was the only site I needed. The graphics look very professional and sharp, while the other sites I checked last year seemed too amateurish (not a big deal for some, but for me it is). Also, do not hesitate to bring your digital camera and take pictures of what you are looking at in the microscope and of the models. Just make sure to ask your professor for permission first. For ANP I, a classmate of mine decided to bring post-it notes as labels, and temporarily posted them on the different muscles. I took the photos and posted it online for everyone in class, and it helped. I have trouble translating 2d drawings from the textbook to the models so it did miracles for me.

I took Microbiology at Suffolk Community College (Brentwood). It was purely memorization, but the labs were fun. I was dreading this class, but I think I might have lucked out with the professor. NYU accepted the credits.

I took Nutrition and Dev PSY via SUNY Online. My experience taught me that if I ever have to take an online class in the future I will make sure to contact the professor for a syllabus first. My DEV PSY class was a pain, not because it was hard, but because I had to post so much if I wanted an A. I settled for a B+, because there were times where I just didn't feel like I had anything more to say on a topic.

I just turned in my FAFSA so I have no clue what the financial package will look like, but I'm prepared to take out loans for the tuition. It helps that I had a full merit scholarship for my first degree, so it's not like it's adding to an existing debt. I really don't think it's that bad, yes it would have been nice if my debt was only $18k or whatever SUNY's accelerated programs' cost, but I didn't get accepted in Stony Brook and by the time I got the waiting list offer from Downstate I realized I really didn't want to go there. NYU became my only choice- unless I wanted to wait a semester or so, and apply to other accelerated and associate programs. The premium I pay to get started sooner and get a BSN is more than fair. The BSN preference is my own, it's not based on employability and salary. I guess it's my first degree's influence (Finance and Investments), but this is how I approach the loan. You take out a loan for a house, 400k+, but part of the justification is that it will appreciate and you could reasonably expect to recoup that when you sell the house in 10-20 years. A nursing degree is no different- if you work in NYC as a nurse and work overtime, it's very reasonable for you to be able to pay the student loan within 2 years, if not earlier. It helps of course if you decide to stay with your parents until then

Thanks for your responses wannabe!

Did anyone else notice a credit deferential on their Transfer Credit Summary? I had one under Liberal Arts. I did a search on all of the forums here and if the pattern holds up we will probably have a choice of orientation at the end of June or 2nd week of July. It seems that going there the first day would be best that way there are more choices, but then again there doesn't seem to be a way to tell which clinical is where...Maybe Wannabe can shed some light on this, but do clinicals take up your entire day, and so there wouldn't be a situation where in the same day you'll have to be in Manhattan for a class and some time also be at LI for a clinical? Also, did everyone take their BLS yet? I knew Stony Brook required it but not NYU. Luckily I found the following on one of the older posts and I double checked it in the Bulletin. I plan to take it next month just to get it out of the way. "NYU they have a CPR Clearance Requirment inorder for them to assign clinicals to us (details in the nursing student handbook online), and it has to be done 3 weeks before the semester begins; they required that the CPR course selected must be a BCLS for Health Care Providers, and BCLS stands for Basic Cardiac Life Support (or simply BLS - Basic Life Support). I am planning to take it with American Heart Association since it's good for 2 years whereas with RedCross it's only good for 1 year.... you dun need to worry about it now since you've taken it already but remember NYU will need all the informations (copy of your signed cards w/ issue date and the original letter doucumenting the CPR course completed) to be sent in by person or by mail 3 weeks before the semester begins."

Julialuk, NYU also has a ABSN that starts in the summer. I checked my acceptance letter and it states Fall 2007. Call them to make sure it's just a typo. As to financial aid, I've read some people here having received it already. I just filed my FAFSA the other day, stupidly forgot, so I'm waiting for my package to arrive within 3 weeks.

I knew I forgot something. Check this thread and post that and other questions you may have, and wannabe will likely answer them: https://allnurses.com/forums/f50/nyu-accelerated-program-210937.html

Hi Wannabe, I looked closer at the breakdown of transfered credits, and I noticed that I have a 1-credit differential on it. If I understand it correctly it would mean I'd have to take a Liberal Arts class at NYU to make it up. How do most students in the Accelerated program deal with this? When do they take it? What do they usually take? Also, any head start reading and studying you would recommend? What other tips do you have about the NYU area or school? Where is the best place to study or have a group study? I'm a NYC native so I know a bit about the Village, but so far my only fav restaurant in the area is Village Yokocho and unfortunately I don't think I can afford eating there every day. Thanks Again!
