I took some pre-med science courses at Hunter and it was extremely difficult. The professors aren't that great and they are really hard. Just be prepared before you go to every class and brush up on you study skills.

I'm taking Chem 121 at BMCC this semester. From what I have read online you have to take either Chem 121 or 118 in order to take A&P 1 or you can get departmental approval. So, if you have taken science classes before and feel you can bypass the chem requirement then I suggest you go the the Bio department and ask for approval. Hope this helped.

If you can't get a federal loan you can try sallie mae. They will probably give you one, but you will probably need some to cosign with you.

It seems like most nursing students aren't traditional now a days.

Currently I am unemployed. I have been unemployed since the summer. I would like to become a nurse and I will be taking the prereqs this fall. I have a chance to volunteer at Weill Cornell Medical Center and I wondering if I should do it? I was thinking that volunteering at a hospital would look good on my application to nursing school and I could gain some clerical experience at the hospital that could help me find a job but I don't want to waste my time if it would not help me at all. Would you volunteer in my situation?

I am interested in becoming a nurse, but I'm kind of scared to go foward with it because I have been hearing these horror stories. I'm old enough now to know that there is stress involved in any career but what I've been hearing about nursing is unreal. So is nursing really all that stressful or are some people exaggrating a bit?

I already have BA and I want to go to NYU nursing but for the traditional program not the accelerated. Has anyone who already has a BA gotten accepted?? Do they look at your overall GPA or do they focus mostly on your prereqs/science courses? Is it difficult to get accepted? Do most graduates go on to work for NYU Medical center?

What is the difference between a BSN and MSN? Do you get paid more because you have an MSN? Is having a MSN more beneficial?

Not sure yet.

Yes, I have considered other institutions. NYU is just my number one choice. Do you know if I have to apply to the accelerated program or can I enter as a transfer student in the traditional program even though I already have BA?

I have already have a BA but my GPA is very low only a 2.3. I am going back to school to take the nursing prereqs. If I do well in my nursing prereqs and have good recommendations and volunteer at a hospital do you think that I could be admitted to the program? Even if I do well in my prereq classes I know that it won't raise my gpa very high but I hope that they will mostly focus on those classes.

Thanks for the information. I am interested in the accelerated BSN program at NYU. I need to find out if its possible for me to get in there with my record and how rigorous it is.

I graduated with a BA in 2005 with a very low GPA of a 2.3. I went back to school to take prereqs for a medical technology program. I did terrible in the classes the reason why is a very long story. I am going to a community college in the spring to take nursing school prereqs. I am now in a better state of mind so I think I will do better. Do you think that I can still get into nursing school if I do really well with my prereq courses for nursing school even though I did so poorly before?

I graduated with a BA in communication 2005 and now I am interested in becoming a nurse. I would like to go to Columbia or NYU. Columbia's accelerated program is my first choice. I have not taken the prereqs but I will be taking them at a community college. I would like to know if they look down on community college courses or are they acceptable?
