I agree! I also passed the NCLEX in February and finally got 3 interviews with 2 job offers and it all happened in one week!! Don't give up and if you can, try to land an interview before the next wave of May graduates take their NCLEX...there will b...

Hello Everyone! I have just graduated from nursing school with a BSN and I'm currently studying for NCLEX. Since nursing is my second career and I'm already 40 years old, I was wondering where are the hospitals, cities or states who hire new grads in...

Thank you Meebugg21!!! I am still looking for ICU and I won't give up! Got 2 offers across country in med-surg, but my dream is ICU and I will persevere! If anyone hears or knows of any jobs in ICU, ANYWHERE...please let me know. I have applied to nu...

Thank you all so much for your replies! I really appreciate your guidance and suggestions. PMFB-RN - I know I'm a bit late in the game in regards to residency programs. The reason is that I had a different plan! I thought I was too late for a career ...

Thank you NurseKrieger and ahSICURN. I really value your suggestions and advice. I know it takes time and experience to become a confident nurse and I am ready to take that time to learn. I was just wondering if that time can be used in ICU and not ...

Hello! I have a question about pre-reqs: I'm currently attending NYU continuing education and planning to transfer to their nursing program. I've heard it's pretty though to get in, but I'll give it a shot. If not I was thinking of taking my pre-reqs...

Hi Pete! I wanted to ask you if you're a new grad or you're already a nurse. I'm graduating in December and planning to take the nclex in February and I read on the website that they are accepting applications even if you're still in school. I have a...

Thank you so much for the heads up flee43! How do you like California? Is the job market good over there? I have just started the application process, so I'm getting the documents together etc. so I'm also trying to figure out where do I want to be, ...

Hi flee43! Congratulations on your NYU Langone residency! You made it through the crucial steps and I'm sure you will get a position as soon they start hiring again! I'm starting the process myself and I was wondering if you could give me any pointe...

Thank you for such beautiful posting! As I'm approaching graduation in December and starting to fear what my first year in nursing will look like, reading this was definitely a breath of fresh air! Among so much negativity, It's always good to also h...

Congratulations Esnooopy!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! I knew you were gonna make it and please keep us posted on the program. You're gonna do great and, as you probably remember from your undergrad, NYU is a great place to be at!!

Oh wow Esnooopy! I had no idea there were only 20 spots for the FNP program! They just started it this year and since they are offering undergrads the possibility of transitioning straight into a master program, they said the FNP can't do that becaus...

nurseaig - honestly, the only reason you think Suny Downstate is more selective is because it's cheap and everyone wants to get in. Period. I actually have a few friends who graduated from undergrad at Suny D and 2 are currently in the WHNP and FNP p...

Esnoopy - Best of luck in your application process and keep us posted! I'm currently in the NYU accelerated nursing program and I will be graduating in December. I absolutely love it and I would recommend it to anyone. The College of Nursing has come...

Hi D_lohvRN, I will be graduating with my BSN in December and I have to say that after reading your post I'm a little discouraged. Do you mind if I ask you from which school/program did you graduate from? I'm spending a lot $$$ right now for my educa...

NYU gives you a $2,500 scholarship every semester and then there are also many other scholarships you can apply for. The rest is all federal and personal loans. I know it's a lot of money and sometimes I get nervous thinking that when I'm done I will...

Hi kitkats, The program is $21K per semester in tuition and fees. Not including books, rent, expenses etc. I'm in my second semester and I will be graduating in December. Overall it's pretty good and I'm very happy with it. Feel free to ask any quest...

I spent almost 12 years in the hospitality business as a GM, then 3 years home with my children after they were born. Now at 39, I have 12 months left on an Accelerated BSN and can't be happier. The workload is hard to juggle between family, kids and...

Hi Mauve! Yes, if you're working full-time then your plan is certainly wise! Unfortunately, in my opinion advisers are not the strongest point at NYU. And I'm saying this judging from my experience and those of other classmates. I'm sure some are bet...

Hello Everyone! I registered for 5 classes this coming Spring semester at NYU College of Nursing and I wanted to ask advice to any of you if you think it's really too much?! I will be taking Chemistry, Developmental Psychology, Text & Ideas, Micr...

Hi Mauve! Congrats on your acceptance!! Yes, I ended up doing really well on all my pre-reqs and now I'm finishing up my first semester of clinicals. Micro, A&P and Chem were probably the toughest ones but if you study and keep up with the materi...

My cohort is of about 300 students and it's a mix of traditional and accelerated students. The only class you will take with all 300 of them is pathophysiology. The others are halved in two sections and then the labs and clinicals are in a group of 1...

Hi gk24, Ok so I had a 3.9 GPA and took all my pre-reqs at NYU. I have no previous healthcare experience besides years of volunteer work that I religiously do every weekend. In all honesty, I don't think the program is really hard to get into, but I ...

Hello Everyone! I have been following your posts because I was on the same boat last year at exactly the same time! I know exactly how you guys feel!! I had sent in my application by September 15 and when by November 3rd I hadn't heard anything I was...

Hi Vanessa, Unfortunately that F in Bio won't look so good on your application. I would definitely try to retake it to better your gpa. I'm only saying this because my study partner from last semester applied to NYU with a 3.5 and didn't get in and s...
