I also got in!! After 1 year of hard working of taking prerequisites and im finally going to start my nursing career. Only school im waiting for is Suffolk Community College. Which brings me to a question. Which is a better school? I know both are great Universities but which one would benefit me more as a RN(such as getting a job, internship after me 1 year etc). The cost on both schools are almost the same and the distance i really dont mind. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Congrats to all who got into Nassau!

Hey everybody, Ive been reading everything in this forums and it was very helpful! I am planning to apply for the spring but now I am a little worried. Someone in the forum said its not NLN accredited? What does that mean and how will it affect me? Also I want to double check if the nursing is accredited? meaning once i go back to school for a bachelor will i have any hard time transferring?

Thanks a lot for the response everybody...I'm really eager to start the program right away and most of the nursing programs starts in the fall. As of right now, I am going to apply to Nassau community college for the spring 09 and if I don't get in ill apply again in fall 09 to more schools.

Hi, currently I have a BS degree in Computer science and just recently i decided to switch my career to nursing. Im getting ready to apply to some nursing school which most give an associates degree. Is it necessary to get a BS degree in nursing since I already got a BS degree in another field? My plan is to keep advancing in my nursing career and maybe one day end up as a nurse practitioner. Thanks

hi, i recently graduated from stony brook with a computer science degree and i decided to do a career change since it wasn't for me. ive been taking some of the prerequisite such as a&p 1 and 2 , psychology, and statistics. i received as in all my classes but soon i will need to decided where to apply for the nursing program. i want to apply for suffolk community college, stony brook university, nassau community college, and nyu. my plan is to try to get an associates or bachelor degree in 2 years or less. here is the problem ..my graduate gpa is a 2.4 from stony brook so i was wondering if this will effect my chances in getting accepted to any of these schools even though i got as in my prerequisite course? also nyu requires more classes such as nutrition & health and i don't think suffolk offers any of those classes. so is it ok to still apply to nyu and say only have 5 out of the 6 preqres complete? i know trying to get into the nursing program is really hard and i want to enter the nursing program and finish it within 2 years. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks
