I haven't heard anything from Hopfer. However, they have received my application for the evening schedule. I am schedule to take the ATI exam in 2 weeks. They are a few documents that I am missing. All I could do is impatiently wait for my acceptance to any of the schools which I applied for. I'll keep you posted. Did you take the paper exam NLN? How long did you received your result? Best of luck to you as well Chae

Hi. Hope all is well. I too have applied to Beth Israel School of Nursing. I submitted my application in Feb 2012 in hopes of getting into the program for Jan 2013 evening semester. In addition I also applied to 4 other colleges. NYU, College of New Rochelle, Cochoran and Hopfer Nursing school. I completed my Pre-requisite with the exception of Nutriition which I am currently taking in the Spring semster. So far my GPA. is 3.50. I took the NLN exam on Wednesday March 21 and considering this is my 3rd time taking the exam I can't really say how I did. That is the reason why I applied to other schools. NYU and College of New Rochelle is not required to take any pre-entrance exam. They look at other credentials. Such as work experience, GPA and essay. I have another degree in Health Care Administration earning a BS and I have been in the field for over 10 years. I chose Nursing because it has become a passion and a calling for me to help the sick. I am 36 years old and changing my career. I hope and pray that I get into the any of these schools that I applied for.

Unfortunatley, I will not be able to do the accerlerated BSN program. I would have to resign from my employer in order for you me to do the program full-time. Most of the 4 year C.U.N.Y and private colleges offer day-time nursing courses. I have research and research and most of the community college in NYC offer evening-weekend classes. I have a daughter who also attend private school and I am a single parent. I wish I could just leave my employer, but I need to support myself and my daughter financially. I've heard many nursing graduates with ADN stating is very hard for hospitals to hire them because they do not have enough experience and they are looking for someone with a BSN degree. Its a tough situation out there. I have the advantage of most, because I work in a Managed Care Health Insurance however, I would like to gain enough clinical experience in working either a hospital or Long Term Care facility.

Thank you for your response. Congrad! on your long endeaver in your new career as a nurse. I am keeping my fingers cross in entering for the spring semester 2012. I just completed the NLN exam and I am schedule to take the ATI in December. I scored a 100 on the NLN exam. Not to bad. Since this is a career change for me I already have a BS in Health Service Administration and from seeing past post I noticed that alot of hospital are requiring new grad students to obtain BSN nursing with experience. How is it going for you in terms of job-hunting. Have you tried. Temp agencies?

Good day everyone. I haven't seen any threads on Hostos Community College nursing students and I was wondering have anyone applied to the day and evening program? I just finished all my prerequisit and hopefully I will be accepted into the program for the Spring 2012 semester. My overrall G.P.A is 3.47 at Hostos and this will be a career changed for me. I have a BS degree in another field and I decided to enter the field of nursing. I have been in the health care field for over 10+ years in the Managed Care field working for 2 well known health insurance company. I love what I do but I always had a passion in working with ill. I was a home-attendant, and a direct care counselor awhile back and being behind a desk job is not something I would like to do for the rest of my life. I have a few questions, in hopes I would received some type of response. 1) Is the program at Hostos competitive unlike some CUNY nursing program? 2) Is there a waiting list? 3) What and where are the clinicals? 4) I am interesting in the new grad turnaround after job placement.

Hi littlienewbe: I was on Monsterboard.com and there are plenty of listings in Mount Sinai Hospital for nurses. The best advice I can give you is to go directly to the hospitals face to face.

Wow. I commend you Ms. ViVi25. Keep doing what you do. I am from New York as well and you are correct, there a alot of assistance available for singel mothers. At the end of the tuttle it will pay off!

For me, I currently work for a HMO Health Insurance Company full time. I will be attending partime nursing school in the fall 09 sememster. In New York there are many schools that offer full-time and part time evening courses. I know that Phillip Beth Israel Nursing offer evening and weekend courses catered to student who work full-time. Long Island University and Adelphi offer BS in Nursing and offer evening courses and clinicals on the weekend. Many professors do not encourage student to work full time while attending nursing schools, but if you have a family to support then you have to do what you have to do. I will be taken my pre-requisite A&P1 and 2, Chemistry, Microbiology in the fall and hopefully enter the Nursing in Jan 10. This a career change for me and I am so excited.

Don't give up! I am a single mother of a 8 year old girl. I am returning to school to become nurse. Life is a challenge and in the long run you will be proud of yourself. This will be my 3rd degree. I went to school part-time and while working full-time. With no assistance from my daughter's father, (meaning no child support). I was able to comeplete my bachelor degree. You can do it girl>>>>>>>>>>>>:yeah:
