I did Kaplan and just passed NCLEX last week with 76 questions. I didn't do every question trainer but scores on what I did were: QT 1 - 57% QT 2 - 72% QT 4 - 58% QT 6 - 66% QT 7 - 67% My QBank scores ranged from 56% to 76% with an average of 67%. I ...

They are difficult but in my experience were very helpful in studying for NCLEX. It can be frustrating but keep working through it.

Are you applying to the accelerated second degree program? I just finished in that program at NYU so that's all I really know about. My understanding is that the following pre-reqs are required to be completed before you can begin any nursing sequenc...

I think working one or two evenings is definitely possible first semester. Second semester gets a bit busier so might be hard to keep up with it then.

I'll answer all your questions from my experience but know that some things may have changed since I started a year ago. Everyone in the same entering class does all take the same lecture courses at the same time. Most are held in large theaters to a...

Good luck to everyone applying! I'm currently in my last semester in NYU's ABSN program and should finish up in December. Happy to answer any questions about the program that I can, though I'm sure it's changed a bit even from when I started last fal...

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! I know how agonizing the wait can be, and don't lose hope any of you who still haven't heard. The process can definitely be slow but just because you haven't heard yet doesn't mean it's bad news. I am just ...

I didn't specifically ask about pay but I don't get the idea that the pay is different because you already have a bachelor's. I think the jobs are what they are and they pay the same regardless.

I asked just that - how the work study would actually happen. What they told me is that the student is responsible for finding a work study job through the on-campus Wasserman Center for Career Development. The money earned is paid directly to you, b...

Current students said the clinical and simulations alternate weeks so you will only have one each week.

Penny -- My understanding is that the clinical is the same day(s)/time(s) each week and students get to choose where they go. Current students said you might not get your first choice out of those available (some are more popular than others), so it'...

It varies by semester, but you can't really choose your start/end time for certain things. Each clinical course is going to be one day about 7:30 to 3:30, either off-site or in the labs. First semester there is only one clinical. Other courses can be...

I'd like to do something part-time, but at first I'm going to wait and see how it would fit in with my schedule.

I think it's that there are two clinical rotations - Adult and Elder II and Psych - (compared to just one in the first semester) along with Pharm, which everyone seemed to imply was one of the more difficult lecture courses.

I talked with someone from the financial aid office, but only to ask a specific question about work study. They were very helpful with that. Also learned about some of the college scholarship opportunities available that require a separate applicatio...

I attended the May 12 Meet & Greet and it was good to hear from current students about the program. I don't remember everything so I'll touch on the main ones that stick out to me. The program has gone through changes in the past year, as student...

Bijoux -- Congrats on your acceptance! I received an e-mail from the college regarding the meet & greet sessions - the last one is this Thursday, May 19, from 6 to 8 p.m. The first hour is informal and you have the opportunity to talk with colleg...

Hey Ashley -- I also received the packet in the mail last week and only received the confirmation of payment from the bursar. I'm also from the Midwest - grew up in Chicago - and lived in St. Louis for five years. I loved it there. :)

Congrats to everyone! I had a much better day at work today since I got this good news. :) Thanks for setting up the Facebook group, Sarah. Someone asked about stats - I have a B.S. in Journalism with an undergraduate GPA of 3.7; I've had A's in my p...

Congratulations! Saw these messages so checked my e-mail and I got in too! So excited. :)

Prof. **** just talked and used PowerPoint for the most part; every once in awhile she'd write a few notes on an overhead to emphasize something in particular.

Joel -- Don't think I'll hear tomorrow; I had to send in an updated transcript with my Micro grade included and that just was sent yesterday. I always expected that sometime in mid-April would be when I might expect to hear something just based on wh...

Joel -- Chem 202 with Micro is tough for sure...I took it with A&P 204 and that was horrendous. I actually considered dropping it but it actually got better as the semester went on. If you need credits to graduate I wouldn't drop it...unless you ...

Hey Joel -- I took SCC 201 and 202 but you're right - NYU only requires one chemistry class. How's 202 going? I thought it was much harder than 201.

Niffy -- Nope - my supplement still just says "submitted" and not downloaded. Don't think that's anything to worry about though...the e-mail I received from admissions yesterday indicated that once they get an updated transcript from one of my school...
