Hi Freestyle,How did it go?

i know the thread hasn't been updated recently, but i know as of march, mt sinai starts at 74,000 msk at 79,000 does anyone know what nyu or nyp starts at?

I wouldn't worry too much about Kaplan scores. I scored consistantly in the 50s for all Q banks and for the 7 Q trainers. I think a 55 on Q trainer 7 and I passed on the first try with 75 questions. As long as you know your basic info and understand how to work through a question, you'll do fine.

did any of your professors allow you to record their lectures w. digital voice recorders? what was the best way you/other nyu students found to be the best way to take notes. im considering getting a netbook/laptop to bring to class, but they don't seem very useful when it comes to clinicals.

hey i finally decided to go w. NYU it more convenient and saves me a lot of $$.

Congrats to all that have found jobs!. Quick question. I'm going to be starting an accelerated BSN program this coming Fall and am getting worried since I'm hearing abt how hard it is for new grads to find jobs! Did you guys have externships during your time in nursing school? And are they a huge factor in finding jobs post grad?

Hey did you guys just graduate this month?! Is the market really as bad as some people are making it out to be? And did you have summer externships under your belt before finishing nursing school? Thanks!

Hey I just got accepted into the NYU program and am set to start in the Fall. So unfortunately I can't give you any real insight as of yet but its a good thing you're starting to think about this stuff early on!

Hey Kelzy I keep on hearing about changes w. the school of Dentistry and how its caused a lot of issues for the College of Nursing. Do you have any info on what the specifics are?

Hey guys, I just started a facebook group just for us! =) NYU Accelerated BSN Fall '09 http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=78914618094

hey guys im in the same boat. NYU v Georgetown. Its really hard to decide. I live in NY so a part of me feels like I should just stay here, it will probably be easier for me $ wise and this way I don't have to go through the hassle of finding a new place to live in DC.

hey same here. I missed the online chat. Right now I'm choosing between NYU and Georgetown. Since I'm from NYC already, its probably going to be cheaper and easier if it just stay here, but wanted to see if anyone has any feedback abt the two schools/the online chat.

hey will crazy we posted almost at the exact same time. but yea..as you can see i got the same email

hey so i just got an email and they said they're making final decisions and will let us know on friday the 24th.

congrats to all who heard! I also got my packet a couple of days ago but I'm still waiting to hear back to see what kind of scholarships they're giving. Do you guys have any idea when we're supposed to hear about that?

Hey just to double check, these are the 2 essays we need for the scholarship program right? 1. Describe a personal challenge that you faced. Focus on how you met the challenge and what lessons you learned from the experience (500 words or less). 2. The District of Columbia struggles with high rates of poverty and chronic disease conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, asthma, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. Describe how you will use your nursing skills to affect the health and wellness of the vulnerable patients in your care (500 words or less).

congrats to all and good luck for those still waiting. I just heard too =). The scholarship essay is due the 15th right? They extended the deadline.

hey thanks for the responses. I've already been accepted into both and am in the process of applying the for the georgetown scholarship. I'm most concerned with the program themselves. I've heard both good and bad things about each school. NYU has about 200 people in the incoming BSN class and so I've heard that the classes are all large lecture courses and some clinicals are a bit crowded, but I would have the resources of the whole university. Georgetown is supposedly very rigid in the course structure and doesn't really allow any wiggle room, but there are only 60 students in the incoming class which means there is a lot of individualized attention and small clinical groups.

Hey guys, I'm trying to decide between Georgetown's accelerated 2nd degree BSN program and NYU's accelerated 2nd degree BSN program. Any thoughts?
