@eupak Were you able to get in touch with someone from the department. If not I suggest making an appointment or just going in to see the status to get a clearer idea on whats going on with it.

Hi @louismimi, there are multiple sites that are used. I can't remember all at the top of my head. I know some are Flushing and LIJ. There's one in Manhattan and more in Brooklyn. I'm not sure about changing clinical site depending on location. I never really thought about it. Maybe you can speak to the coordinator about change of locations.

@louismimi Hi, nursing labs and clinical are awesome as usual. Sometimes the lab can get crowded but you can sign up as one on one or 2-3 per group. How are classes going?

@sgel It definitely wasn't a lot. It was either 15 or 20 questions. Most students finish within 10-20 mins but I took the full hour lol. At the time math was not my forte, but after doing peds, it comes with ease. Don't rush and always double/triple check your answers. I believe you need 80 and above. Practice, practice, practice and you will do great.

@sgel The math is really basic and compose of only conversions such as teaspoon to ml or lbs to kilograms ect. However, this was a year ago when I took it, so I'm hoping it has not changed. As for an essay, I didn't write one but you could choose a topic on why nursing as a career and incorporate why SJC is your choice of college. Keep it short, sweet and make sure it reflects who you are as an individual. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask. I wish you good luck and positivity.

@Scoobyfn8 I really love the school. The faculty is awesome and they do pay attention to your concerns. It's not a big school like Cuny and this is why love the atmosphere. You're not just another face and you don't get lost in a crowd of students. You are seen as an individual. All the teachers and students know you because you will be seeing the same face everyday. Everyone is polite and you do meet great people. The program is intense but really great. Once you focus, prioritize and stay positive you'll be alright. You mentioned you live Long Island. Do you plan on going to that campus or to Brooklyn?

@louismimi In my group there's 6 of us. The groups are usually small 6-8 depending.

@Wilson Dong Definitely apply to other schools and keep your options open. Also try Molloy, Adelphi, St. Pauls ect. I've heard that school in NJ are pretty great as well if you're willing to travel.

@louismimi thank you for asking, clinically are going great. I have Peds and Med/surg clinical this semester. it's a little challenging but in a good way. I'm learning a great deal. The time flew by so quickly it's amazing. You will enjoy your journey and when looking back realize how much you have grown. Not every moment will be a ray of sunshine. Somedays you may feel drained or question your sanity but always remember the end is worth every bit of sleepless nights and anxiety. Once you prioritize, stay focus and stick to your schedule you'll be great. Good luck, you got this!!!

@Wilson Dong Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, seats do fill quickly, however it does not mean that you may not get a seat. If time passes and you haven't gotten a response either send a follow up email or call. In terms of prerequisites, registrar will go over all the classes you need, if it's not a lot of classes you can do it over the summer if offered. The program itself starts in the Fall and certain classes are offered only Fall or Spring. The good thing is once you're accepted you'll be able to see where you stand in terms of classes and be able to plan and move forward.

@Nsadia congratulations on taking the steps to the beginning of a beautiful career. The program and the clinical are really good. I go to school twice per week and clinics twice per week. My advise to you is to apply no matter your grades or gpa. Your grades are pretty great btw. As far as needing more classes, registrar will be able to tell you exactly what you may need to take. No, there are no admission exam like teas/pax. In terms of tuition, it is a private school so it's a little expensive (around $14,000) but not as expensive compared to LIU, NYU or even Molloy. At the end, it would be worth it. Hope this helps. Sorry for the late reply, as I mentioned to other members I don't receive notifications to my email anymore. hope they fix this soon.

@louismimi Yes I had to take a math assessment exam. It's not hard at all. Just make sure and brush up on your conversions and you'll be fine. Sorry for the late reply. This updated site is not allowing messages to forward to my email.

@louismimi definitely you can speak to them, they should be able to accommodate you.

Hi @louismimi, yea im still not getting any notifications either. Im glad your experience is going well. Don't worry, time will fly while taking your prerequisites and then you'll be graduating. This semester I'm at Brookdale. Other students are at flushing, wood hull, kings county and north well.

@louismimi Hi, sorry for responding so late. For some reason I am not getting alerts sent to my email anymore. so I only see the message when I log on. I guess with the updates I have to set it up again. This semester I am taking Peds, medsurg, pharm and evidence base research. I hope registration went well and hope to see you on campus. Best of luck with this semester
