   Sorry to respond so late..Vassar does take ADNs into the Bridge program. I have heard there's a group starting in August, but it will be small. Hope that helps, good luck!

   Hi all - I graduated from the program last December (Pleasantville). Yes, it's tough and it will take up all your time. But it's only 11 months and you get breaks between semesters..you can do it. Everyone I graduated with passed NCLEX and (I hear...

   You'll want to contact the nurse recruiter at Vassar. When I applied, they wanted a resume, transcript and two letters of recc's from clinical instructors - up front. I didn't apply online - never saw a posting - so definitely call.

   Same here! I got the schedule in the mail yesterday and they really do wean you into things. My big fear was that - if I didn't get into this program - I'd be hired onto a floor at some other hospital with minimal orientation and no preceptor. A f...

   Certainly didn't mean to rub you the wrong way. I have children too and a very supportive husband. What I meant, and will stick with, is that you need to make school your top priority and that's tough when you have other family commitments. Sorry ...

   Hi - I'm now in my final semester at Pace Pleasantville. Yes, it's tough and summer was UGLY. No, you cannot work if you are in the one year program and, frankly, it's not for people who have pressing family commitments (young children, taking care...

    I applied about 4 weeks ago. I did talk to Mitch in Admissions about a week ago. Pace wanted updates from the professors of the two classes I'm taking now. Shouldn't be an issue since I'm doing fine. So, hopefully, I'll know soon. My back up is ...
