  5. Looking for a quick route into nursing school

    1lollipop replied to shyguy88's topic in New York Nursing

    And another thing, don't just look into the CUNY schools (I noticed that in your post). They are almost impossible to get into unless your overall GPA is close to a 4.0. Applicants flood those types...

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

  12. Are NYC hopitals preferred over LI hospitals?

    1lollipop replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    1lollipop replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in New York Nursing

    1lollipop replied to Ponchie109's topic in New York Nursing

    The passing score is a 70 from what I heard. They consider your previous GPA as well. As long as your application was received by the deadline, there's no reason why they wouldn't consider you....

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing

  23. Do Hospitals Pay Off Student Loans?

    1lollipop posted a topic in New York Nursing
