Hi - i cannot seem to find you putting your email in the search box on FB.. is there another way?

yes please create one! ty

thanks! yes i saw it all in the welcome packet.. did cpr class week and did drug and background check. taking the clinical calculation exam next Monday. how long was the exam? i still have to buy books, scrubs, kit, etc. i am also wondering if there is anything that should be studied/looked over before classes start

has anyone fulfilled all of the req ~ cpr, drug test, etc? also for anyone who has taken the clinical calculation exam, how was it? how long was it? ty!

congrats @aspiringrn_!! i am not sure if there is a FB group yet.. feel free to create one!

where did you print out the booklist and pay for background check and drug screening?

I am taking it in July. has anyone bought books or supplies yet?

I have not heard that.. I've actually heard the opposite several times - where you obtain your ABSN from plays minimal (if no) role in obtaining a job.. it's more of the connection with clinical placements. As far as salaries, that has to do with the hospital or other facility in which you gain employment, the school you went to does not determine your salary. And on the point of school recognition, NYU and Pace are both extremely well-known through-out the city / tri-state area. As I relayed in my previous post, NCLEX passing rates, tuition, location, and clinical placements IMO are the most important factors in making a decision. it's definitely a tough, but good decision to have to make. gl!

@Nata ~ I was deciding between the 2 as well.. I pretty much summed up my reasoning for choosing Pace here: https://allnurses.com/new-york-nursing/pace-accelerated-vs-921655.html

I just got a call from them too to see if I wanted to be off the waitlist and if I am still interested in the program.. I had already sent in my decline of being on the alternate list as I have accepted enrollment into another school, but seems like potentially hopefully news for others who may be waiting!

they are still 2 completely different hospitals, and you will be on different units.

Yes, I did! I got Mt. Sinai and the VA Hospital. I am guessing the Mt. Sinai is the one in Manhattan ~ around 100th st. @wyw1013 - your email specified both the Manhattan and Queens locations?

@Sjac ~ I do know that the program is 4 semesters, and as you indicated, $21,236 per semester. So that's about 85k for flat tuition. As far as the other fees, I would clarify those with NYU (email/call them). You can probably speak with a financial advisor or someone in the bursar office to confirm those fees. gl!

congrats @planemo! even though you are not going.. I know you had been waiting since the very beginning!

I just checked and it said I had a hold.. I am sure Tiffany is taking care of it - I would just email her if you have a q about registration.
