In 1904, Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing (PSON), a private, not-for-profit institution, was founded with a distinct focus on exceptional nursing education at the associate's and baccalaureate levels. The clinical rotations are held at top-ranked centers throughout New York City.

This program is a hybrid program as well. Afterwards, the graduate is eligible to take the NCLEX-RN licensure examination and is well-prepared to pursue masters-level education in nursing.

PSON is awful. There is NO communication, unless you BEG. The professors cant teach, and dont know the material - that is if they even speak English. The faculty care about money, and that is IT. They try to fail students so they will repeat classes and get more money.They hold onto your financial aid money for month at a time too.

You will teach yourself everything, you will be lied to by admin, you will cry and struggle through like we all do, but the nursing school experience will have been robbed from you.
