Hey guys! I'm hoping someone from LIU nursing program will please respond to me! I'm looking into LIU's part-time evening/weekend 2nd degree nursing program. I have a bachelor's degree already, and I plan on working full-time while enrolled. Unfortunately, neither admissions nor nursing dept at LIU would respond to any of my questions or request for more info. Do you know what days/times the classes/clinicals are offered, so I can continue to work during the program? How late are the classes, and are clinical times flexible? Also, what is the process of transferring general education/prerequisite courses from other schools like? Note: I noticed general education requirements at LIU is different from my school I got my bachelor's from. Are they fairly accepting of transfer credits, or are they likely going to make me repeat courses? This whole thing is such a headache process! Any other information will be greatly appreciated!

Hi @jennyfur1234, I know this is a post from years ago, but here I am with the same dilemma you had. I'm currently working full-time, and looking for a part-time evening/weekend 2nd degree nursing program. Seems like my only options in NYC are LIU and DC, but LIU never responds to my questions or request for more info. Just curious if you can share with me any info you have I can benefit from, and which path you ended up taking... This whole thing is such a headache process!

Ooh, and if any of you guys are from the weekend program... I would really appreciate it if you can answer these questions for me... 1. Are there any commitment days other than Sundays (for classes)? How much commitment days for clinicals? Are days/times flexible? 2. Has anyone worked full-time, or known someone who did, while attending this program? If I dedicate my weekdays on working and weekend on studying/clinicals, will this be doable? 3. What are these "hidden fees" in tuition? Thank you so so so much!!!

Hey everyone on this thread, please help! Assuming you guys are now students or graduates at Dominican College, I am really hoping to hear your current/recent experiences at Dominican College (e.g., support from department/professors). This school is my all or nothing, because of its weekend program. But reading so many negative reviews about this school's accelerated program really scares me! Please help!

How much was your time commitment here - including clinicals? Could you have imagined working full-time while attending DC? Did you get a lot of support from the department? How much is the tuition including "hidden fees?"

Hi JValdes, Assuming you are currently a student at or have recently graduated from DC, do you mind sharing a little regards your experience here? I'm reading so many negative reviews here, I'm having doubts to going here... Thanks!

Hey past and current students of the program, I reached out to DC for more info on their accelerated nursing program, and I was impressed by how quickly and thoroughly they responded to me. I got the impression that the program was well organized and supportive of their students. And then I came across this website full of negative reviews of the program. That the program is very disorganized, unnecessarily difficult... That the professors are inconsistent, incompetent, unprofessional, and unethical - e.g., picking on select students especially male students and students of color, showing favoritism, etc... Anyone agree, or agree to disagree? I'm interested in applying, and I'm starting to fear I'm only starting this journey to fall right on my face. I'm hoping at least a few people on this website will have a different experience with this program. I guess... for my peace of mind! And if you don't mind, a few questions too: 1. Classes for the weekend program are all on Sundays, right? Are you ever required to be at the school on a non-Sunday? If so, for what? And how does clinical placements work? If that flexible? How many hours/week of commitment? 2. Has anyone commuted from NYC to go here? How was the commute? Ever miss class due to traffic or snow or the like? 3. Has anyone worked full-time, or known someone who did, while attending this program? If I dedicate my weekdays on working and weekend on studying, will this be doable? The school says it's 100% doable, but I want to hear your opinions! 4. Is the tuition really a double of what's presented on their website ($12466 + $385 reg fee = $12851)? What are all these "hidden fees" people are talking about? Any other info, thoughts, feelings, concerns, comments, ramblings, words, letters, symbols, numbers, your credit card #s (hehe, jk)... well, anything! and everything! will be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you so much guys :)
