SJC Brooklyn 2024 cohort

Published

Hi,

I'm just starting a forum for Saint Joseph's College for anyone who may be applying to SJC as class of 2024. I am a current student and changed my major as I was finally accepted into nursing school.

A little about my nursing journey: I resigned from my government job in 2018 I went back to CUNY 2019 with a GPA of 0.9. My advisor told me even if I got all A's I would never get into nursing school. Still I went back to finish what I started when I was 20 years old 12 years later. I left an unhappy job and decided to pursue my dreams in nursing. I stumbled my first semester but then I was determined to get good grades so, I persevered and did most of my classes at CUNY. I followed the transfer model from SJC and registered for classes at CUNY I knew would transfer over and will go towards the nursing curriculum. When I finally got a 3.0 GPA I put in for a transfer to SJC I was not accepted into the nursing program on my first attempt. Instead, I was placed on the waiting list where I was then told all seats were full. I continued in hopes of a health administration degree. Although I was working towards a BS in HA I still wanted my dream of becoming a nurse so I made sure that every semester I emailed the director to see if there was a spot for me. For my electives, I chose prereqs for the nursing program. My GPA also increased to a 3.64. Lo and behold when I had one year left in school I was contacted and told that there was a spot for me in the 2024 cohort. I quickly accepted and now my nursing journey continues.

I start clinicals next year fall (2022) any other classmates out there? We gotta stick together. I'm excited and nervous!
