Why Is It So Hard To Get Into Nursing Programs If There Is A Shortage For Nurses??? Then you have schools that only accept 30 students a semester. It's so frustrating.

@ CuriousMe if you read my post correctly that's exactly what I said, by him snitching yes it would get his friend kicked out. I didnt say he was gonna get kicked out for telling. Yes I said it snitching, call it what you want. He should mind his bus...

Nope I wouldn't snitch, especially if they are my friends. How would you feel knowing you got your "friend" kicked out the Nursing program? Worry about yourself, sooner or later it will catch up to them.

Yeah the requirements have changed, when I got accepted they only wanted a minimum of C in pre-reqs now its C+ and they changed the entrance test from NET to the TEAS. Not to mention I got accepted with a 2.9 GPA and a 92% on the NET so for those who...

I was reading other threads and I came across students who were accepted to private nursing schools but declined their acceptance because of the tuition. If nursing is your passion by any means necessary you should do everything to accomplish your go...

Thank you I feel the same way, I think some of the readers thought I meant if you go to a comm. college then your not making the sacrifice. That is definitely not the intended message. If the comm. college has a waiting list of 2 yrs and the private ...

I WILL spend my money how I want and your right I don't care who pays high tuition to reach their goals. I was just voicing my opinion. I have my way of doing things and you have yours. Do what you want, you act like I called you stupid for not payin...

I never said people arent passionate about nursing if they look at the "financial reality." What I said is if nursing is your passion you would worry about the loans later and do what you have to do to become a nurse. That doesnt make someone not pa...

Honestly I didn't know RNs out of NYS start at $22/hr, that is what LPNs over here start with. At New York Presbyterian Hospital-Cornell the RNs start with like $35/hr.

I posted this question to get different opinions, as you can see some agree with me and others don't and that's OK. Everyone is entitled to have their own outlook on certain situations. Basically your comment wasnt necessary either but I like the fee...

First of all nursing is one of the highest demand jobs on the market right now. Most graduates get hired before they even take their NCLEX, i'm speaking from a NY point of view, second how sick are we talking? Paralized to the point where you cant ev...

No unfortunately I didn't get a call for an interview yet, hopefully I will get a call soon if not i'll just apply again next year. Good luck to you.

Well Diana how did the interview go, what did they ask you?

Oh ok I thought the person meant they had a bachelors in another major and was looking for a nursing school. I already know the information you stated maybe I was the one who misunderstood the question.

I don't think everyone understands your question. Are you looking for a certification nursing school (LPN) or a degree program (RN)? Well since you have a bachelors there are many accelerated nursing programs. -University of Medicine and Dentistry h...

I mean that they give you a lot of run around with this school, don't get me wrong the professors are excellent, most of them want to see you succeed but when it comes time to applying to the program its a different story. If your GPA is not a 3.6 an...

Congrats Diana i'll keep my fingers crossed for you, let me know how it goes.

They sent me a letter saying the same thing but the only thing they had checked off was the TEAS exam missing which I took back in March. When I called them, then they looked it up and said yes we recieved the scores and to disregard the letter. I'll...

I was just wondering if i completed most of my pre-requisites except Humanities and i have a 2.7 GPA do you think I stand a chance of getting an invitation of acceptance to this program? I spoke to a counselor and she said I have to do at least one s...

When I called LICH, they told me the same thing about hearing a response by late June. They also told me the average was between 70-80%. I got a 75.7% and I did horrible in the science part also. So I guess LICH is telling everyone different things. ...

Congrats, you gave me hope because I was one of those who felt discouraged.

I can't really remember the exact questions but things like velocity, boiling points and ideal gas law, stuff like that.

Yup I agree too, the reading was way too easy, but the science had me cause I never took physics b4.

Don't feel bad I got a 75%, I haven't heard anything from them either. The test was ok I did really well in the reading, math and grammar, but the science gave me a hard time which I feel that is one of the main ones they look at. Good luck to you th...

I think some of you are misinterpretting the acceptance letter for Medgar, unlike the other CUNY schools @ Medgar you have to complete ALL of your pre-req before you enter the clinical phase. The acceptance letter means you were accepted into the sch...
