  1. Hey guys!! I was also accepted for this Spring! Super excited to get started. From what I understand the class size is kept really small, so I think we're all going to be getting to know each other...
  2. Syracuse NY Area

    I didn't work as a nurse there, but I worked at Upstate for a few months in administration and I can tell you that they were definitely hiring nurses. This was in 2012. I HATED Syracuse with a passion...
  3. Dorothea Hopfer Fall 2013

    Hey all! Does anyone have any insight on how the night/weekend program is? I was attending NYU but ran into a ton of trouble with financial aid so I withdrew. Really hoping to get into Hopfer for...
  4. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    Congrats! I was accepted and started this spring. Just an FYI financial aid info wasn't posted for me until about 3 weeks after I got in (roughly a week before the deposit was
  5. http://brooklyn.ny1.com/content/top_stories/178923/suny-board-votes-again-to-close-brooklyn-s-long-island-college-hospital I know they said they were going to keep trying, but I don't see the place...
  6. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    I started at NYU this semester and I don't know anyone who has great financial aid. I had a low EFC and still have to pay ~$18k a semester via
  7. Hey! I hope these questions aren't ones that are repeated all over the forum- I tried to do a few simple searches but had trouble finding all the answers! I've been thinking long and hard about my...
  8. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    I like it so far. The classes are fast paced and there is a TON of work that you have to do outside of class to keep up. I think that most of the complaints that I had seen on here were regarding the...
  9. Landlocked

    I did a lot of my nursing pre-reqs online through Cayuga Community College- Cayuga Community College | Home Page. Tuition is really affordable (in-state rates). Check them
  10. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    I just started this semester (Spring 2013). I was really concerned about not submitting one at first, but I called NYU and spoke to an admissions counselor who basically told me it's a very small...
  11. Northshore LIJ ED fellowship? input needed!

    I have a couple questions and I'm hoping you guys might know the answer! Do you have to wait until you are licensed to apply? Or can I apply when I am a final semester nursing student? Do fellows...
  12. Hey all! I just started an accelerated BSN program this semester. I know for a fact that I want to become a Nurse Practitioner. My issue is cost. I'm a second degree student who already has a...
  13. Merit based scholarships to NP school?

    Thank you so much Juan! I knew about the HRSA loan repayment program but hadn't heard of that grant. I appreciate the
  14. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    Hey, I'm a current student who just started this semester. I know that NYU is really pretty good about working with students on deadlines and stuff like that. I would give the admissions office a call...
  15. Accelerated Nursing Program - Low GPA

    My undergrad GPA wasn't outstanding- I had a 2.9 when I graduated. However my GPA improved drastically through the second half of my time in college- once I got it together lol. On many of the...
  16. Find a NLN or CCNE LPN school in New York

    That doesn't make sense to do LPN first if your eventual goal is RN. Do you have any college experience? It would make more sense to do an Associates in Nursing program- that way you graduate as an RN...
  17. Hi all! I'm sure this is a question that's been asked a million times, but I haven't been able to find the info I need. I'm about to start a 15 month accelerated BSN program in a few weeks and need to...
  18. NYU ABSN Spring 2013

    There is a school for everybody- maybe NYU isn't right for you. Keep your head
  19. NYU ABSN Spring 2013

    No problem! I would say that you should be able to explain your situation- hopefully the last semester dip in grades wasn't too severe. I actually didn't mention it in my personal statement- On the...
  20. NYU ABSN Spring 2013

    Does your GPA show progress through the semesters (i.e. were your good semesters mixed with the bad, or was it bad bad bad good good good good, etc?). I think that makes a huge difference. It already...
  21. NYU ABSN Spring 2013

    Hey Eliz 7854- No fee refers to no broker's fees (aka no finder's fee for the apartment). You will almost definitely need to pay a month of security moving in. Also, I would think carefully before...
  22. NYU ABSN Spring 2013

    Hey jipe78! Question- How was it going through the process of starting the program? I'm waiting to get my next set of emails with instructions on orientation, etc. Was NYU pretty good with walking you...
  23. NYU ABSN Spring 2013

    To those who are still waiting- I applied October 25th, was accepted November 20th, and was given until December 11th to pay my deposit (which I already did). Accepted students are given three weeks...

    Ah gotcha. Oh well, bring on the loans

    I was under the same impression. I think that ~80k figure included living in a
