St. Paul School of Nursing

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone was applying to SPSON for the fall 2014. I went to their open house and took the entrance exam. I will be submitting my application soon then taking the hesci exam. I was curious to know if there was anyone out here doing the same ?

@blessedlady ..thanks for the kind words. I was a little down today but after speaking to some schools I realized that all hope is not lost. And its funny this evening I took my time to read the catalog and they only show accreditation for NYSED and ABHES like you said. ha ! I'll be transferring some core courses to SPSON if I get in , so those classes I'm glad I don't have to worry about it transferring or not.

Also, NSLIJ one of the biggest hospital systems in long island WILL HIRE A NURSE WITH AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE. When you look up their job postings, it says you have to enroll in a BSN program within 2 years and complete your BSN in 5. So that was encouraging as well.

That's correct about NSLIJ...Trust me I understand, some days I'm up others I'm down, but we must not fear. Instead let's focus on what's ahead of us in the next 2 years if we get in. Ill be transferring some core courses but I hope my sciences get accepted, my A&PI was in 2010, A&PII and micro in 2013. My non-sciences are over 5 years, I hope they overlook it since I have a associate degree. I really don't want to take those classes over.

I was also reading this article. It gave me hope but I would like a lot more options just in case one school doesn't fall through for me.

That's good.. If you use to be a cna, does that also count as experience?

I believe it does count as experience!

In June because that's when they stop accepting application

I thought about applying there but paying the tolls back and forth would be a bit of a burden.

So now that we've had our interviews do we just wait until June ? That's torturous ....
