No, nyu.

Accepted ACCIDENTALLY for spring 2015. Deferred it to Fall 2015 :)

Columbia emailed us and said that estimated cost is ~84,000 for BSN. However, NYU is more I think. Go to NYU's website and look up tuition for the accelerated BSN: NYU > Office of the Bursar > Tuition/Fees > Fall and Spring > College of Nursing (Undergraduate). It's 21,873 x 3 (fall, spring, fall) AND $1289 per credit for the summer sessions (15 credits)= 84954, which does not include student fees per semester. Here's a link to the curriculum so you can see how many semesters + summer credits: https://nursing.nyu.edu/sites/default/files/Fall%20Start%20Fifteen-Month%20B.S.%20Curriculum.pdf.

I got in for adult acute care. I also got into NYU's accelerated program (won't have to put a deposit down until June). / Does anyone have any advice or can anyone help me weigh pro's and con's for both schools? My main concern is getting a BSN in 12 months, instead of 15 at NYU, and I might not do the MSN part in order to get ICU experience to go into anesthesia. Anything would help.

There is really no cap on any specialty besides Anesthesia (8) and Midwife (8 as well I believe, but I'm not sure). On average, 800 students are accepted, however.

Hey! Did you go to the info session? I want able to make it and I had some questions. I was wondering if there are study abroad opportunities or research opportunities. I don't think I saw a research course on the curriculum. How quickly do students get jobs after finishing the program?

They got interviews for the January or May 2015 start. The program has 3 start dates: January, May I think, and September of 2015. I am applying for the September start cohort and, yes, our deadline is in March.

Did anyone get an email or notification that their application is being reviewed?? This is for people who have completed their entire application (aka there are no red X's when you check application status). It's almost November and decisions are given by February so I was just wondering.

I also have an email of someone who just graduated and personal messaged me so I will be reaching out to them soon too and can convey their advice to you via this thread.

I completely understand what youre saying. I'm having a hard time picking because some schools are ranked higher and more expensive but other programs could be just as good an affordable. What ranking are u referring to? I looked at us world and news report but they only rank graduate programs.

I did not know this. Do you know how this would work for a student in an accelerated program? There will obviously not be enough time for an internship or externship so maybe the best option would be after the program is over. Ideally, I would like to work as an ED nurse and then work in critical care. Maybe someone out there knows of CC internships/externships for someone who is already a working RN with a BSN.

Honestly, if a student does not give me their undivided attention and decided to knit during class, I would make sure the rest of the professors in the program are aware of your enthusiasm for my class. That is not a student who is interested in learning, in my opinion, since things like head nodding or eye contact are considered good body language that conveys enthusiasm....not looking down at your knitting. I would definitely not write them a letter of recommendation or recommend them for any award in the program etc.

That's what I studied since they create the test and I got a 90.7 so it was worth the purchase. Good luck on your exam!!

I am not too sure about the CRNA process, but I have heard from a few schools, such as Columbia, that a 50th percentile in verbal and math are a minimum requirement that is acceptable for their programs. If the 146 and 152 are not 50th percentile, you MIGHT want to retake the exam. You can also call the schools and ask for the average percentile scores of previous applicants or what a competitive percentile is (I've found the answer on some CRNA school program websites by clicking the FAQs link).

I am also interested in this program. It has the reputation of being one of the top nursing programs in the country. Some statistics would be nice if anyone is in the program or has gone to an information session.

I am starting nursing school in May 2015, but I haven't decided which school to accept. A friend of mine told me to pick the school that offers clinical sites that I'd want to work in after I become and RN. For current nurses, how helpful do you think it is to attend a nursing program that offers a clinical site you want to work in after you graduate?

Honestly, SBU changes their requirements each year and they are very unorganized when it comes to communicating with applications. For Fall 2013, no one knew there would be interviews until after the deadline for the 1 yr program and Tarantino said the first people who submit the app are more likely to be invited to the interview. That's totally not fair.

Although I won't start nursing school until May 2015, I was wondering what types of opportunities are available for nurses. Are there internships/externships before completing nursing or after graduation/before you pass the NCLEX. Are there any great study abroad or foreign opportunities that are available to anyone regardless of the program they are in? What are the benefits of these opportunities besides gaining experience prior to obtaining a full-time job?

I recently graduated from school and am applying to accelerated BSN programs since this will be my second Bachelor's. I was wondering what the difference was between the ASN and BSN program in terms of content. I have also noticed a lot of ASN RN to BSN programs and have heard that ASN programs might be completely removed or nurses with ASN degrees will not be competitive in the job market. I was wondering why some people personally choose to get an ASN.

I'm from NY so I can't directly answer your questions, but you should ask the school if they hold career fairs where nurse recruiters from different hospitals come to meet future graduates. You can also ask the professors in your program. I've heard many students work in hospitals where they did clinicals.

This is a beautiful message. More people need to be leaders like you that inspire students and not "bosses" or "supervisors."

Hmmm it's always so interesting to hear why people are going into the medical field. I know there are CNAs who go to nursing school, nurses or PAs who go to medical school, etc etc. I think this person is wrong when they say nursing is easier than biology, especially when they failed their last exam. However, a BSN will result in a greater salary and good medical experience compared to a degree in biology. I don't think it's wrong that she is becoming a nurse to get more experience and to stand out when applying to medical school, but it is a shame that she's taking someone's spot who wants nursing to be their profession for life, especially if she is failing nursing courses or med school prerequisites. I know a lot of schools say students must have a C or higher in their prerequisites as a minimum, but many, if not all, choose student who do not have C or very few Cs. I really hope the medical school application/interview process opens her eyes. She could have become a medical assistant or EMT in order to gain experience. Choosing nursing as a gateway for medical school is painful for me to hear as a pre-nursing student.

Thank for the help awilliamsesu! I'll probably look up public transportation to those places. Since you're in the program, I was wondering what you thought of the courses provided. I saw the curriculum and appreciate the fact that we have to take pharm and pathophysiology I think, but what you think of the instructors and the content of the courses? Also, do you feel as though the clinicals are helping you practice "nursing"? Do you feel you'll be prepared and confident once you graduate and start working in the field?

Hi everyone! I received a phone call today that I am accepted to the DeSales Accelerated BSN program and will receive a letter in the mail soon with further details. I was just wondering who else would be in the cohort. I'd love to get a Facebook group going to keep in touch until the program begins in case we have questions/concerns. I am also still waiting to hear back from other programs and need help making my final decision. I really know nothing about PA since I have always lived in NYC. Before I commit to the DeSales' program, I definitely need to figure out where I would live and how I would get to clinical sites. If there are any members currently in the program or alumni, I'd really appreciate it if you could list the clinical sites or if you know whether or not they are accessible by bus/train. I looked up transportation in PA and found the LANta transportation authority, but it wasn't too much help since I don't know where the clinical sites are. Thank you all in advance!
