Hey I just graduated from my acute care NP Program. I was working as a nurse for two years before I started school, and I was working full time as a nurse while going to school part time - took me about 2 1/2 years to finish. I think the reason...

For acute care - during covid we were on zoom, but still had to do clinicals in person in the hospital. It went back to in-person during classes during my last two semesters. You need an 85 in every class in order to pass B- is the lowest grade...

don't know if I can help - I just graduated NYU's acute care NP Program. We all start off in the same classes and then branch off to more specific program related classes towards the end, but if I can help in anyway let me know 🙂

In regards to finances, I would check and see if whatever hospital you work for offer an option where they pay for your education. I didn't get the chance to do it at my hospital because I knew I would be moving away, but many hospitals have the opti...

Thanks! Yea I it's so frustrating! I agree it felt good knowing I got the job purely on my own merit. Yea depending on where you live is definitely a factor. I had friends who moved to PA and NJ and got jobs pretty quickly, but if you plan on applyin...

I could be wrong, but I think it also depends on where you live. I live in NYC and went to school here. I have friends that moved out of state and got jobs fairly quickly. I was applying even before I graduated in May, and after i passed my boards th...

I'm a new grad that just got my first job on a med/surg floor, so I don't know if you're interested in doing this, but I would suggest also getting certified in pediatric advanced life support (PALS). I got my ACLS and PALS at the same time, and eith...

Hey guys I just went through the whole process and got hired last week. If you have any qs let me know (unless I'm super late to this post and you all already had interviews!!) lol

Hey! Sorry for the late response! It depends - i think it depends on what kind of a student you are. There were people in my cohort that would not even show up to class, or would leave as soon as lecture was over and still somehow passed/ did fine an...

Hey @Monkey18! So sorry I haven't responded! I've been having a lot of interviews so it's been very hectic! Congrats on getting accepted! You're always welcome to email me, [email protected] I check that every day - allnurses.com I don't check as often-...

I live in Manhattan and it is definitely expensive! The average new grad salary for a BSN I'd say is mid 80K-90K but keep in mind there are A LOT of taxes taken out of your salary, so you could easily only pocket around 65k depending on how many tax ...

Hey guys! I graduated from the NYU ABSN program in May 2017. I was in the Spring 2016 cohort. Just in case anyone had any q's about the program, or anything in general, I'm here for you guys! I already passed the NCLEX end of July, and just started m...

Hey! I just passed the NCLEX at the end of July in 75q and I literally contribute it all to UWorld - I cannot even begin to stress how amazing UWorld is and I'm so grateful friends of mine recommended it. I didn't use Hurst personally, but I heard fr...

Hey @jennaly! I know the question wasn't to me but thought I'd help out - I'd say try and write an essay that would make you memorable. You want to write something unique that would keep them interested and remember you. Like for instance, (verrrry b...

Hey @lungsopen! NYU tends to look at the applicant holistically, meaning if you are lacking in one area, there are other parts of your application that can definitely make up for it - like your essay, letters of recommendation, and resume/CV. I was ...

Hey Guys! I recently just graduated from the accelerated program at NYU so if you guys have any questions feel free to ask!

Hey @blackberrymousse! I'm actually starting the Kaplan course NYU offers in a week or so! I started studying on my own, but they have something called NCLEX Bootcamp, and it's a week of reviewing material and test taking strategies. It is part of yo...

Hey - just wanted to help out here! All lectures that take place in person are recorded - which you can then podcast. So if you're sick or can't make it to class one day - you can watch the lecture being taught in person. The online thing - in patho...

Hey @NikNikV! I really do apologize for the late response I had finals and things got hectic lol - I'm sure you had to give a decision by now, but I'll be more than happy to answer your q's anyways! 1. My cohort was pretty varied - Those of us in acc...

Hey @shy1490! So sorry this is SO late! We had finals and i'm studying for the NCLEX so I completely missed all these posts! A lot of them I took the subway, and my rotations out in Brooklyn I drove to. I was in Maimonides for two clinicals and their...

Hey! I'm so sorry you're having that experience! I'm currently finishing my BSN program in a private school in NYC so I don't know if that would even account for the differences in our experiences, but I personally have found my teachers to be pretty...

Hey Guys! I posted on another forum as well, but just to let you know, I'm finishing up my final sequence in the ABSN program at NYU, so if you guys have any questions I'm here to help!

Hey guys, I'm finishing up my last sequence in the accelerated program here at NYU, so if you guys have any questions, I'm here to help!

Hey y109! I'm currently finishing up my fourth and final semester in the accelerated program at NYU. It's hard to gauge based on GPA alone because they look at the applicant as a whole, meaning if you have an excellent essay and letters of recommenda...

Hey @rkp12! I'm a third semester student at NYU - I also started in January, from what I heard it is competitive - but the reason why they say it's "easier" to get in the spring is because less people can start in the middle of the school year - most...
