So, therefore, if you are in a big city like New York you won't need to be an acute care NP to work in the ER? I'm currently transferring to the ED while going to school and was debating whether to study for adult or acute care NP? My hospital's tuition reimbursement covers most of adult NP education but because there is shortage of acute care programs, I'd have to pay for a good portion of my education

Hunter-Bellevue School of nursing! Soon to graduate w/ BSN in 2006 :)

yeah they do look at ur NLN score in conjunction to your GPA. I have no idea if they look at each section...No they don't tell you your rank in the letter. But be hopeful, not everyone in my class had high GPAs or NLN scores.

Hey! i'm in program at Hunter (2nd semester right now). When I applied my overall GPA was only 3.3 (3.5 in the sciences). My NLN score was 129 (although i was in the 96 th percentile).I didn't think they 'd accept me, having heard all the previous stories of people not getting in...Yet still they accepted me. Til now I still can't believe it. I was so ready to go transfer to BMCC or Lehman. In orientation, they told us they turned down like 360 good applicants not really because of their grades but mostly due to lack of seats. So i'm not 100% sure how they go about these things
