My school charges $289 per semester. Money grubbing scumbags. I can honestly say it has helped me in no way. It covers things out the cope of my class.

I literally got all my credits to graduate with an associates in liberal arts before they let me in the nursing program. Just starting my second nursing semester this spring. 4 years to get a 2 year degree because of how they stagger classes and refuse to give certain classes in the shorter semesters. The school is literally set up to make you take prereqs over a year, before being able to get into the nursing program. If you need any remedial, add another semester.

2 years for a remedial?? Sheesh. i passed my remedial math. but the additional "prereqs of the prereqs" are killing me. now there's going 3rd semester for just to get 1 class. But if this is the way things are now, i guess i just have bite the bullet. Thank you very much for the response.

Thank you so much. My considerations were Medgar Evers or BMCC ,my only concern about bmcc was the commute. i wish you well on your journey at bmcc.

I have to thank you for that. The process has me so anxious to get through it that i didn't think to look at it that way. your response is most appreciated.

After being out of school for many years ,I decided to go back to school fall 2016. I just finished my first semester at Kingsborough Community College. My main interest is nursing so i aimed for the pre-reqs and completed intro to psych, english 1, intro to sociology and a remedial math (intermediate algebra) that i had to take to be eligible to take bio classes ... Somehow i managed to pull 3 A's and a high grade on the remedial math putting me at a 4.0. The remedial math put a semester behind to take bio (A&P 1) and now they are saying i wont be able to apply to take the teas v unless i take a Sci 2500 class , which i can only take in a regular semester after i complete A&p 1. Then i would have only a possibility of getting in the nursing program spring of 2018 ...... I was going to take statistics math and intro to literature class over a 7 week winter to knock out some bsn pre reqs . But the idea of doing a year and a half before i can even attempt to get into a 2 year programs seems ridiculous. Would is make sense to transfer out in spring to another program that doesn't require the sci 2500 ...like medgar evers or bmcc?? and if i don't make the cut for that fall class, transfer back in and complete the the sci 2500 in fall? I dont know anyone that wet through a nyc nursing so i am short on advice. any suggestions would help, thank you.
