Hello, I spoke to both the CRNA admissions at both Columbia & Albany Med. they both said my nursing experience will count more than where I get my BSN from. So, Lehman it is!!! Besides after waiting in line all day yesterday, I feel like I've a...
Hi, I'm starting nursing school in August - absn - and I truly want to be a critical care nurse. What kinds of things can I do this year to help me land a job in an ICU and be best prepared for it when I do?
Wow - very small world. I actually used to be a YWCA sexual assault counselor. I understand what you mean and LOVE - that you are going to be a SANE nurse. It may actually be a really great way to be involved & advocate for victims without being ...
To everyone accepted to the Accelerated Program. What is your story? Are you going to attend Lehman? I did Navy ROTC for my undergrad at RPI (a small engineering school in upstate NY). I majored in Industrial & Management Engineering with a 2.9...
All very true Toya. Thank you for your responsiveness - you are going to be an excellent nurse!! I feel very lucky to have the option. I honestly didn't think I would get in the way they talk at Lehman. My pre-req's were a 4.0 with a 91 on the HE...
Is Bay Ridge in Queens? I'll be commuting from Chelsea. I have a car - so I'll most likely be driving. I drove to Lehman this past year to do my pre-req's. About 40 min each way is I can beat traffic.
Thank you everybody for your inputs. I'm really torn about this decision. My ultimate goal is to be a NP. I'm wondering if NYU will look better for grad school admissions. Do grad schools even care where you get your BSN? I know a few NP's that ...
I just got accepted to accelerated program yesterday!! I was already accepted at NYU and I planned to go there -- this changes everything. I live much closer to NYU but the cost is so much better at Lehman. Any inputs???

It's 15 months total - but only 12 months of actual school. We have 4 12 week semesters - with a considerable break in between each. As a mom with 2 little ones -- I'm totally relishing that. Columbia and some other programs do it in 1 year, but i...

Thank you. But I honestly think I'm the only engineer/naval officer turning nurse around. My story is pretty unusual - which will have both benefits and shortcomings as we start school. I'm probably going to accept my NYU offer today or tomorrow. ...

I applied priority and heard April 30th. I got an email from an admissions counselor saying they were missing one of my transcripts (I'm very sure I sent it in - but whatever). Anyways, I got my acceptance about a week later. I was starting to los...

Funny -- after I posted this last night - I got an email from an admissions director asking for a transcript that I'm very sure I sent in and is checked off in Albert. I sent a new transcript in this morning. It goes to show that there may be some ...

Hi Everyone, I too applied right before the priority deadline -- say Feb 27ish. I haven't heard back as well. I'm a very diverse candidate -- very different experiences than most people have posted, so I have no idea if that is a benefit or detrimen...

Hi. I'm applying to absn programs with the hopes of becoming a CRNA. I'm almost done with my pre-req's. I'm finishing up A&P 2 and Microbiology this semester. I just got permission to take Micro alongside A&P2. It's usually a pre-req, but...
Can anyone recommend a good professor to take A&PI &II with at Lehman? I'm deciding if I should take A&P1&2 this summer -- session 1 & 2 or start in the fall? If I do the summer classes, I'll have all my pre-req's done to apply ...
Hi -- I just got into Lehman college as a 2nd degree applicant. Yay! I plan on taking my pre-req's there and then applying to their accelerated and/or generic program. I'm currently a SAHM and I chose Lehman because of the outstanding child care ce...
